In a change-up from previous episodes, Jenny Sinclair interviews her Leaving Egypt co-host Al Roxburgh. Al shares about his journey, first, as a Baptist minister who knew how to renew and grow churches and, later, as a consultant on making churches “missional”. He talks about the significance of Lesslie Newbigin in launching a change in his thinking thirty years ago, a prompt that set him on a journey of reframing his understanding of God's agency in the context of modernity. Changes in Al's thinking and practice have continued over the last ten years—with an emerging clarity that we are living through a change of era. Amid signs of unravelling across the West, he has been drawn to engage with conversation partners around the relationship between church and society. This led him to revisit Catholic thinkers who examine political economy through the lens of the gospel, especially as the impact of economic systems on human flourishing became increasingly serious. Al describes how the Spirit has pushed him outward—away from a church-centric posture and toward a deeper awareness of God at work in the world, particularly in the local. His advice now for church leaders is not to focus on what makes the church work, but on what is going on among people in the places where they live. Through practices of discerning, dwelling, and listening, he urges us all to ask: What does it mean to be God's people here, in this neighbourhood?For Alan J Roxburgh:http://alanroxburgh.com/aboutFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/alan.roxburgh.127/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thecommonsnetworkBooksForming Communities of Hope in the Great Unraveling: Leadership in a Changing World (with Roy Searle)Practices for the Refounding of God's People: The Missional Challenge of the West (with Martin Robinson)Joining God in the Great UnravelingLeadership, God's Agency and DisruptionsJoining God, Remaking Church, Changing the World: The New Shape of the Church in Our TimeAlso mentioned in this episode:Paul Weston Humble Confidence: Lesslie Newbigin and the Logic of MissionTim Rogan The Moral Economists: R.

P.538 How To Discern The Purposes Of God by Apostle Grace Lubega

Though God's plans for our lives will involve some fearful circumstances, we must be unafraid and resolute about fulfilling God's calling on our lives as we hold on to his promises.

"Fear not, for I am with you." It's a promise God repeats throughout scripture, but how do we actually experience this comfort during life's darkest moments? Pastor Mike Fabarez discusses the transforming power of God's presence in times of trial. Drawing from Isaiah and the Gospels, he'll unpack how Jesus provides not just companionship but courage when we face overwhelming circumstances.

Pastor Brandon Bachtel emphasizes the church's vital role in fulfilling its divine purpose as he begins a new series on the Book of Acts. He encourages the church to explore the early church's dynamic relationship with the power, presence, and purpose of God. Pastor Brandon highlights the significance and essential role of the Holy Spirit, who empowers believers and enables them to spread the message of Jesus Christ throughout the world. Ultimately, the aim is for each member to recognize their call to be a witness for Christ and actively participate in God's mission to reach those who have yet to hear His name.

It is really easy to quote the Scriptures, especially during hard times but do we really know or understand their meaning? Elder James Wilson, annexed the promises of God with a charge to never quit amid our struggles. Although we may find ourselves between the purpose of God and the destruction and divisiveness of the world, God will make good on His Word and His grace will take us through it. So be encouraged today, God's promises of provision are far greater than anything you could ever face and His promises won't let you quit.  Sermon Scriptures: Romans 8:18, 28, 35-39; 1 Peter 5:10; Hebrews 10:23,36; 13:5; Mark 5:21-24; Psalms 34:17-18, 37:19, 42:8, 139:10, 145:18; 2 Corinthians 1:20; Philippians 1:6; Ephesians 1:13, 2:13   We stream live every Sunday at 11 am ET and every Wednesday at 8 pm ET.   Visit our website: https://perfectingfaithchurch.com    Connect with us on social media!  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PerfectingFaithChurch/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/perfectingfaithchurch/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/PFCNY  Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@perfectingfaithchurch

'Suddenly, a hand touched me, which made me tremble on my knees and on the palms of my hands. And he said to me, “O Daniel, man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for I have now been sent to you.” While he was speaking this word to me, I stood trembling. Then he said to me, “Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard; and I have come because of your words. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia. Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision refers to many days yet to come. ” When he had spoken such words to me, I turned my face toward the ground and became speechless. And suddenly, one having the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips; then I opened my mouth and spoke, saying to him who stood before me, “My lord, because of the vision my sorrows have overwhelmed me, and I have retained no strength. For how can this servant of my lord talk with you, my lord? As for me, no strength remains in me now, nor is any breath left in me.” Then again, the one having the likeness of a man touched me and strengthened me. And he said, “O man greatly beloved, fear not! Peace be to you; be strong, yes, be strong!” So when he spoke to me I was strengthened, and said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.” Then he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? And now I must return to fight with the prince of Persia; and when I have gone forth, indeed the prince of Greece will come. But I will tell you what is noted in the Scripture of Truth. (No one upholds me against these, except Michael your prince.' Daniel 10:10-21

Do we truly understand what it means to have the presence of a father in our homes? Having a father in our homes or lives brings stability, guidance, protection, security, boundaries and much more. While many may not have had this experience, there is also a parallel and more perfect model of a father, in God. Elder James Wilson delivered an excellent reminder that God, our Father, wants to not only be a father to us but he wants to reside on the inside of us and be present in every area of our lives. We must then be willing to relinquish our old way of doing things and embrace His ways by aligning our life with His Word. He will show a new and better way of living because He is the eternal Father.  Sermon Scriptures: 2 Corinthians 6:16-18; Romans 8:9, 11; Psalm 37:4; Psalm 16:11; Ephesians 1:3-12; Colossians 2:9-10; Romans 8:37-39;    We stream live every Sunday at 11 am ET and every Wednesday at 8 pm ET.   Visit our website: https://perfectingfaithchurch.com    Connect with us on social media!  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PerfectingFaithChurch/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/perfectingfaithchurch/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/PFCNY  Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@perfectingfaithchurch

The war in Israel will escalate before it is diminished. To properly understand what's happening, we need to see the events through a biblical worldview. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson offers a personal perspective on the war, a summary of the events and the people involved, and the hope that comes from following God and advocating for His people during such a time as this. We are at a pivot point in the direction of our world, and the outcome will be determined by the responses of God's people.   To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world, visit this link: allenjackson.com/podcastdonate

In this sermon "The Pain of the World and the Purposes of God," Pastor John Piper addresses the difficult question of why God allows suffering in the world. He begins by acknowledging that the problem of suffering is a real one, and that it is often difficult to reconcile with our belief in a loving and all-powerful God. Piper then goes on to offer four reasons why God might allow suffering in the world: To display his glory. Piper argues that the suffering of the world is a parable of the horrors of sin. It shows us how evil sin is, and how much we need to be saved from it. To conform us to the image of Christ. Piper teaches that suffering can help us to become more like Christ, who suffered and died for our sins. When we suffer, we learn to rely on God, to forgive others, and to love our enemies. To provide opportunities for compassion and service. Piper argues that suffering can create opportunities for us to show compassion and mercy to others. When we suffer, we are more likely to empathize with those who are suffering, and we are more likely to be moved to help them. To prepare us for eternal glory. Piper reminds us that this life is temporary, and that suffering will one day be abolished. When we suffer in this life, we are storing up treasures for the afterlife, where we will experience perfect joy and peace. Piper concludes by acknowledging that the problem of suffering is still a mystery, but that we can trust that God is good and that he is working all things together for our good. In summary, Piper says that God allows suffering in the world to display his glory, to conform us to the image of Christ, to provide opportunities for compassion and service, and to prepare us for eternal glory.

God ordains that his people are made worthy of his calling through the faithful prayers of his people.

Before he created the earth, God knew pain would plague this world. And not only knew, but planned. And not only planned — but purposed.
