Rom. 11:25-32. 6/1/25. An expositional sermon from the letter to the Romans.
Last week, we shared that God's dream is to be home with humanity. This calls us to see the bigger picture of His dream and surrender our own — sometimes forever, and sometimes for further refining. All of this work is to join a bigger vision not of our own making. This week, we'll explore how God's desires co-mingle with our own as we co-create and co-labor with God to bring generational dreams into the world. In the story of Abraham, God blesses him and pledges to make his “descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore.” The only problem: Abraham and his wife, Sarah, cannot have kids. Come Sunday to learn how “sands and stars” dreams are all about partnering and persevering with God for generations far beyond our own.- Series Description -What dreams do we have for our life? Are they God's dreams or our dreams? Both? Sometimes, we protect God from our own dreams, wondering if we gave into his ways and will if he would squelch our true desires. Other times, we give up on dreams understanding the call to discipleship to mean that dreams are for yesteryear. There is another way. Throughout the scriptures, God hints at what his true dream is and ways humans can partner with God with their own longings. This involves knowing God's heart, learning to wait, expecting opposition, and pairing our dreams with a call to obedience. Come bring your dreams, yourselves, and interested friends for this series.

As more families scrutinize their post-high school options for virtue and value, the field has perhaps never been wider. Choosing a path carefully, with the right balance of priorities, should be the goal for every high school graduate. Before serving as our headmaster, Mr. Alvaro de Vicente was the Heights college counselor. Over the last few decades, he's witnessed an exciting shift in the way students and their parents can evaluate, prioritize, and choose a path after graduation that serves the whole person well. And while colleges are responding more and more to these good demands, Mr. de Vicente also explores how high schools and employers could keep pace with the changes. Chapters: 2:32 Am I on the education treadmill? 4:16 Purposes of college: personal growth, financial growth 8:32 Keeping the two purposes in proper proportion 12:20 The wider field of alternatives 15:42 How high schools must respond 19:35 Peer groups on the alternative path 24:22 If virtue and value aren't in balance 27:33 The future graduate's options 29:54 The future of hiring Also on the Forum: A Short Guide to the Purposeful College Decision by Alvaro de Vicente 4/25 Advice for the College Launch featuring Alvaro de Vicente 8/24 Considerations for College-Bound Students featuring Dr. Peter Kilpatrick 5/24 The College Experience featuring Dr. Jonathan Sanford Rethinking College: Why Go?

Lindy Kyzer and Sean Bigley of ClearanceJobs spitball about the truth and lies when it comes to the polygraph process. One of the realities of the polygraph is that even experts agree it's dubious at actually checking for lies. What it is good at is getting people to have a spiritual epiphany and suddenly start sharing details they hadn't before. That's one reason why maybe the security clearance polygraph should go the way of Scientology's eMeters, and the experts should agree, they're really only used for 'spiritual purposes.'

Ep 336 show notes are here: http://www.merrittonsa.com/podcast/336 Is this dream going to be worth the effort? Maybe you've spent hours designing Canva graphics, rewriting emails, or obsessing over what people might think without ever taking a real step forward. You wonder if your dream is even valid or if you just aren't cut out for this. The truth is, you are not failing. You are distracted. And in this episode, we are naming the lies that are stealing your focus from what God is calling you to do. These three lies: perfectionism, reputation, and platform will not just delay your dream. They will discourage you from ever starting. But God has better for you. He's calling you into freedom from the pressure you have put on yourself so you can refocus on His purposes for your life. In this episode you'll learn:

Brian Holtz, CEO of Compass, spent his early years without clear intentionality for his finances. But when the recession hit in 2008, Brian found himself in a moment of crisis that forced him to depend fully on God. That season led him to dive into Scripture in search of financial wisdom. What he found not only transformed his family's financial life but set him on a course to help others do the same. Now, as the leader of Compass—an international ministry focused on equipping people to handle money God's way—Brian helps thousands of individuals and families embrace biblical financial principles. Through small group studies, resources, and one-on-one discipleship, Compass empowers givers to live in financial freedom and generosity, rooted in God's truth. Brian brings a wealth of practical insight for listeners at every stage of their giving journey. From inviting God to write your budget to teaching your kids about money, Brian's message is deeply rooted in Scripture and rich with wisdom. Major Topics Include: Brian's journey to financial faithfulness Asking God to write your budget Solutions in Scripture for every aspect of life God's five priorities for money What it really means to give your first fruits Growing in your reliance on God through generosity Financial discipleship Planning for retirement Advice for enjoying God's abundant blessings Helping couples get on the same page financially Sharing biblical financial principles with your kids QUOTES TO REMEMBER “If this is really something I believe, this is not something I can just do on the weekends.” “I wonder how God would write my budget.” “We forced our spending to match our values.” “God never asks for the leftovers.” “Even if generosity can't be the top item on our list today, that should be the long term goal.” “How can I grow in my reliance on God and push my generosity to a point that I have to trust Him?” “To accomplish what God has called me to do, how much do I need to keep?” “What is God's purpose in this financial decision?” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Compass Financial Ministry Crown Ministries Ronald Blue and Co., CPA (see our interview with founder, Ron Blue) No More Excuses by Tony Evans Financial Discipleship for Families by Brian Holtz The Finish Line Community Facebook Group The Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW Psalm 24:1 | The Earth Is the Lord's The earth is the Lord‘s and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein, 1 Chronicles 29:28a NIV | David Enjoyed Long Life and Wealth He died at a good old age, having enjoyed long life, wealth and honor. 2 Kings 13:14-19 | Joash and Elisha Psalm 139:23 | Search Me Search me, O God, and know my heart!

April 5, 2025Strength to Strength welcomed Jennifer Miller to discuss how singleness can be a blessing.Sometimes we get the message that a woman most truly fulfills her purpose as a woman when she is in the role of wife and mother. A more robust understanding of God's purpose for marriage, however, reveals that both singleness and marriage are intended to showcase God's plan for His relationship with His people. Rather than being a second-rate position or a Plan B that I just need to make the best of, singleness allows believers to fill a vital role in the kingdom of God.This talk aims to empower both single and married women to embrace the role they are currently in and to encourage each other to do the same.An interactive question-and-answer period follows.https://strengthtostrength.org/gods-purposes-for-singleness/
