Today is day 48 and we are beginning the section on the Second Article of the Apostles' Creed on Jesus Christ the Son of God. Today we are on the fourth line: “I believe in Jesus Christ” and studying question 48. 48. Who is Jesus Christ? Jesus Christ is the eternal Word and Son of God, the second Person of the Holy Trinity. He took on human nature to be the Savior and Redeemer of the world, the only Mediator between God and fallen humanity. (Psalm 2; Malachi 3:1; John 1:1–18; Philippians 2:5–11; 1 Timothy 2:5–6) We will conclude today with Prayer 96. For Union with Christ found on page 674 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Mark 10:4545For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”John 13:1-171Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. 2During supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him, 3Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going back to God, 4rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, tied it around his waist. 5Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him. 6He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?” 7Jesus answered him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand.” 8Peter said to him, “You shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no share with me.” 9Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!” 10Jesus said to him, “The one who has bathed does not need to wash, except for his feet, but is completely clean. And you are clean, but not every one of you.” 11For he knew who was to betray him; that was why he said, “Not all of you are clean.”12When he had washed their feet and put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, “Do you understand what I have done to you? 13You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. 14If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. 15For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you. 16Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

Part 18 in series The post A Tragic Beginning appeared first on Redeemer Community Church.

Jeremiah sometimes has the reputation of being a prophet of doom and gloom, however, he also pins some of the most hopeful words in all of Scripture. After God's judgment on the nation of Israel, they are promised an immensely bright future, and it begins with the One whom God will send. He will be a king and a priest unlike any that Israel had ever seen, and He will accomplish what no one else ever could: never-ending forgiveness, righteousness, peace, and victory.

Sermon by Callum Elwood from the The Unstoppable Mission of God series. Inspire is an evangelical Church of England church in Clerkenwell, central London. Listen on Apple Podcasts.

As part of the series Living Confidently in Times of Great Change, Isaiah 54:1–3 calls the people of God to prepare for expansion:“Sing, barren woman… burst into song… Enlarge the place of your tent… do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. For you will spread out to the right and to the left…”These words were spoken to a people who saw themselves as captives and victims. Jerusalem had been destroyed, the temple ruined, and the nation scattered. Yet God declared that restoration and multiplication were coming. They were not to prepare for survival—but for growth.History shows what can happen when this word is taken seriously. In 1792, a young shoemaker, William Carey, preached from this very passage and ended with the now-famous challenge: “Expect great things from God. Attempt great things for God.” From that moment the modern missionary movement was launched. What began small grew to impact nations. God still calls His people to move from limitation into expansion.1. It's Time To SingIsaiah 54:1 “Sing, barren woman… burst into song…”The command to sing was given to the barren, the fruitless, the disappointed and the hurting. Before they saw change, before fruit appeared, they were told to rejoice.Captivity had stolen their song. God was restoring it.Singing represents a mindset shift—from despair to faith, from victim to victor. Revival always carries a sound of praise because it reflects confidence that the Redeemer lives.Isaiah 54 continues with promises of: Growth, Dignity, Restoration, Everlasting love, Prosperity, Family blessing, ProtectionThe season of barrenness does not define the future. The first step into new growth is choosing praise before the breakthrough appears.2. It's Time To Stretch Isaiah 54:2–3“Enlarge the place of your tent… do not hold back… For you will spread out to the right and to the left.”The exiles had developed a survival mentality. When people face hardship, the instinct is often to withdraw, conserve, and protect what remains. But God commands the opposite: Do not hold back.The imagery is of a Bedouin tent being expanded—new skins added, cords lengthened, territory extended. Growth requires stretching beyond comfort.This is the mission of the Church:Acts 1:8 – “You will be my witnesses… to the ends of the earth.”Matthew 28:19 – “Go and make disciples of all nations.”Growth means moving outward—into communities, workplaces, campuses and neighbourhoods. It means sharing the gospel intentionally and believing for multiplication.Stretching requires faith. It requires stepping up to lead, to serve, to speak, to invite. Fear shrinks back; faith expands forward.3. It's Time To StrengthenIsaiah 54:2 “…strengthen your stakes.”Expansion without strengthening leads to collapse. As growth increases, foundations must deepen.• Strengthen Yourself In The WordPsalm 119:105 – “Your word is a lamp for my feet.”2 Timothy 3:16–17 – “All Scripture is God-breathed… so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped.”The Word equips, corrects, trains and guides. Growth demands daily discipline in Scripture. Strong tents require strong stakes.• Strengthen Yourself In The Holy SpiritJohn 3:34 – “God gives the Spirit without limit.”Acts 1:8 – “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you…”Jesus was “full of the Holy Spirit” (Luke 4:1). Effective witness flows from spiritual empowerment. Stretching cannot happen in human strength. Dependence on the Holy Spirit must deepen daily.• Strengthen Yourself OrganisationallyGrowth also requires order. Time, habits, finances, priorities and family life must align with purpose. Capacity must increase to sustain expansion.Organisation creates room for multiplication.In ConclusionGod is preparing His people for new levels of growth. The word is clear:Sing – shift the mindset from barrenness to fruitfulness.Stretch – refuse to hold back; expand in faith.Strengthen – deepen foundations in the Word, the Spirit and disciplined living.Isaiah 54:4 declares:“Do not be afraid; you will not be put to shame.”This is not a season of retreat, but of advance. Not survival, but multiplication. Not limitation, but expansion.Expect great things from God. Attempt great things for God.

Day 47: God's Promise of DescendantsScripture (Genesis 15:5 NKJV):“He brought him outside and said, ‘Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them.' And He said to him, ‘So shall your descendants be.'”Reflection: God's promises are vast and beyond human comprehension. His plan unfolds according to His wisdom.Prayer: Lord, help me trust Your plan and rejoice in Your promises even when I cannot see the outcome.Until next timeStay in the BlessingsI really want to encourage you to be diligent with your Bible study time, because God has so much more for us than we can get from just going to church once or twice a week and hearing someone else talk about the Word.When you spend time with God, your life will change in amazing ways, because God is a Redeemer.Theres nothing thats too hard for Him, and He can make you whole, spirit, soul and body!You're important to God, and you're important to us at The Refinery.When it comes to prayer, we believe that God wants to meet your needs and reveal His promises to you.So whatever you're concerned about and need prayer for we want to be here for you!

Send a textWhat if hardship isn't a verdict against you but a stage where God's faithfulness stands out? We dive into Job's protest against shallow counsel and trace a line from his tear-soaked prayers to a living hope that refuses to confuse suffering with secret sin. Along the way, we invite you to test every voice—ours included—and weigh every claim against Scripture rather than charisma, degrees, or stories that sound good in the moment.The conversation turns tender when a listener shares how the Lazarus story mirrors a return from unbelief, naming the holiness of being considered by God after deep trauma. We explore agape love that does not wobble with mood, the freedom of forgiveness that will not be rescinded, and the courage it takes to resist the enemy's accusations. From there we challenge easy slogans about divine love by revisiting John 3:16 as a radical widening of God's people beyond Israel to every nation, without erasing the narrow door of salvation through Christ. It's a vision big enough to include the nations and specific enough to require a Redeemer.Job 16 becomes a courtroom: “O earth, do not cover my blood.” Surrounded by miserable comforters, Job asks that his suffering not be buried, his case not closed, and his vindication be heard in the court of the Most High. That plea echoes Abel and points forward to Job 19: “I know that my Redeemer lives.” We hold space for hard questions about election, mercy, and why some believe while others don't, and we let the tension drive us back to trust. Peter's reminder to mocked believers frames the close: the Lord is not slow, and patience is not absence. Keep the case open. Keep praying. Keep believing.If this conversation challenged or comforted you, follow the show, share it with a friend who's walking through fire, and leave a review with the one question you still want answered. Your words help others find solid ground.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Send a textWhat if the world isn't stalling but being held on purpose? We open 2 Peter 3 and watch Peter move from the flood of Noah to the fire of judgment, then slow down to explain God's clock. One day as a thousand years is not a puzzle for date-setters; it's a cure for anxious hearts. The delay is not neglect. It's mercy—God's active patience to bring every one of his people to repentance, the kind of promise that can hold you when mockers sneer and timelines fray.From there we step into the raw honesty of Job. “My witness is in heaven,” he declares while friends scorn and tears fall. Job refuses the shortcut of fatalism and the trap of self-justification. Instead, he longs for an advocate who can stand with him and for him—near enough to understand, righteous enough to prevail. That longing lands on Christ the Mediator, truly man and truly God, who bears our case before the Father and anchors our hope above. The storm may swing the ship, but the anchor holds when it's set in Jesus.We connect these threads into a sturdy assurance: God is not slack concerning his promise; he keeps time differently and keeps promises perfectly. Election, calling, justification, and the perseverance of the saints aren't ivory-tower terms here; they are the rails we run on when life shakes. Endurance is not a feat of willpower but the fruit of a living Redeemer. If he loses none of his own, then delay is grace, judgment is certain, and today is a window for repentance and rest.Listen to hear why divine patience matters for your doubts, how Job's tears can shape your prayers, and how Christ's advocacy turns the courtroom of heaven into a place of peace. If this helped you breathe a little easier, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs assurance, and leave a review so others can find it.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Send a textWhat if being “known” by God means being loved by God—personally, covenantally, and from before time? We dive into the heart of foreknowledge as fore-love and follow that thread through predestination, redemption, and the kind of assurance that holds when explanations don't. Along the way, Job stands beside us: a faithful sufferer who never got the memo yet became a witness to generations. His urgency before death, his appeal to a heavenly advocate, and his cry, “I know that my Redeemer lives,” become a roadmap for how to trust when answers are silent.We share how Jesus' words, “I never knew you,” are not about God forgetting but about a relationship that never was—and why that clarity comforts believers rather than crushing them. Faith emerges as more than a feeling: it's the Spirit-wrought substance and evidence that anchors us to Christ seated in heaven. Through honest testimonies and praise reports, we celebrate God's provision without bowing to it, and we name the daily practices that keep the heart steady—preaching Scripture to the soul, resisting the fear of man, and refusing the distractions that dull our worship.If you need courage to face confusion, or language for your hope, you'll find both here. We pray together, we rejoice with those who've received new jobs and raises, and we lift up those serving the vulnerable. Most of all, we fix our eyes on the Witness in heaven and the Word that heals.

Day 46: God's Covenant with AbramScripture (Genesis 15:6 NKJV):“And he believed in the Lord, and He accounted it to him for righteousness.”Reflection: Faith, not works, brings righteousness.

God, forgive me for words that hurt the heart of another. Keywords: Words; forgiveness; Deliverer; Rock; Redeemer; wisdom. Scripture: Psalm 19:14

In this episode of the Lesson In Everyday Podcast, LA shares a heartfelt reminder many of us need to hear:God does not need your help being God.We declare that He is Savior, Healer, Provider, Redeemer, Promise Keeper — yet we still worry, force outcomes, and try to control the process. But what if our exhaustion isn't from the battle… it's from trying to carry what He already conquered?This episode is an invitation to:• Release control• Break agreement with anxiety• Stop interrupting the process• Clean the inner room• Choose surrender over strivingIf you've been emotionally tired, spiritually stretched, or mentally overwhelmed — this conversation will realign your heart and remind you that peace comes when you step out of God's way.You don't have to fix it.You don't have to force it.You just have to trust Him.Take a deep breath.Let God be God.—LaToya JacksonFounder, Lesson In Everydayblogs:https://bluetbutterfly.wordpress.com/2026/02/12/never-desire-to-take-your-place/https://lessonineveryday.com/explore-inspiring-blogs/f/lord-i-don%E2%80%99t-want-to-take-your-place

IntroductionThe Canons of Dort is a theologically rich document that addresses critical questions about God's sovereignty and human free will. While it can unfortunately fuel argumentative "cage phase" theology, its true purpose is far more pastoral: to provide genuine consolation in knowing that God desires, chooses, and gives life to His people. This teaching isn't meant to create theological elites obsessed with debate, but rather to lead believers toward Scripture, submission to God's Word, and ultimately to His glory. The Canons address two extremes. The two extremes are hyper-Calvinism and Arminianism. Both of these extremes rob believers of assurance and leave them chasing their tails without real spiritual progress. Significant Observation - The Tension Between God's Universal Call and Particular WorkThe Canons of Dort do not aim to divide the church but to address real theological problems with precision. The challenge is that the Canons desire to remain helpful rather than overwhelming people with details. It reminds us that theological work should be done "with a view to the glory of God's name, holiness of life, and comfort of anxious souls.” Our temptation is to make a name for ourselves or win arguments.This creates an important tension visible in John 3: there's clearly a universal, sincere call in John 3:16 where God loves the world and offers eternal life to "whoever believes.” This has to be read in light of verses 1-15. John 3:1-15 makes it explicit that one will not respond to the Gospel without being born again. This is why Nicodemus struggles with the reality that one must be "born of the Spirit" to even see the kingdom. Both truths stand: the general call is real, and the particular application of Christ's work to God's people is also real. Like Nicodemus, an intelligent Pharisee who knew the Torah by heart, we must wrestle honestly with how these fit together. We must submit to Scripture (ministerial reasoning) rather than forcing Scripture into our philosophical boxes (magisterial reasoning). The complexity is real, and we're called to accept both truths even when we can't fully reconcile them with human logic.A Significant Freedom - The Spirit Works Like the WindWhen Christ tells Nicodemus that the Spirit "blows where it wills" like the wind, He's making a crucial point: we cannot control, predict, or harness God's work. The Greek/Hebrew word for wind and spirit is the same (pneuma), creating an intentional wordplay. Just as we don't fully understand or control the wind despite our scientific advances, we cannot determine when or how the Spirit will work in regeneration. We cannot control the wind. We cannot control the Spirit. This is both humbling and liberating for ministers and believers alike. We cannot twist God's hand or guarantee results through the perfect methodology or sermon. God normally works through the preaching of the gospel in the context of the church, but even this has exceptions. We immediately think of the thief on the cross, who likely never attended synagogue, given his lifestyle. The reference to being "born of water and the Spirit" points back to Old Testament promises in Ezekiel 36:27-28 and Jeremiah 31:31 about God giving His people new hearts. Christ rebukes Nicodemus as a "teacher of Israel" for not recognizing these prophetic promises. Christ is not primarily using water to teach about baptism, forcing God's hand, but about the Messiah as the one who confirms the new age. Christ is confirming the covenantal promises as predicted by Ezekiel. So, he is upset because Nicodemus should know this prophecy. He should see that Christ is the confirmation of God's promises. A Significant Consolation - Our Hope Rests in Christ, Not OurselvesHere's where the pastoral beauty of the Canons shines through. God's call in passages like John 3:16 and Matthew 11:28 ("Come to me, all you who are weary") is absolutely sincere. Christ is issuing a genuine invitation to all people to believe in Christ. We cannot know how many will be saved, and we shouldn't limit God's work. The call goes out to everyone.Yet there's profound consolation in knowing that when we do bow the knee to Christ, it's because we've been born from above by the Spirit. In moments of struggle, doubt, and anguish, we do not hope in the strength of our faith or our ability to persevere. Our confidence rests in Christ, in His Spirit, and in His power to uphold us until the end. God doesn't just dangle an unattainable carrot; He guarantees that the seed of the woman will enter His rest. When Christ teaches Nicodemus that His people will truly respond in faith through the Spirit's power, then we can be assured that we believe in Christ's power and not our own. Our confidence should never be in ourselves. ConclusionThe Canons of Dordt is honest in that it paints an unflattering picture of humanity: we're wretches who hate God and don't want to turn to Him. But it simultaneously reveals God's astounding mercy. God restrains sin, publishes the gospel, gives His Son, and calls all to believe in Christ. The assurance is simple yet profound: if you take hold of Christ by faith, He is your Redeemer and Savior. You have life in Him. Your sins are taken away in Him. We're not believing in our faith or in ourselves. We believe in Christ, who is the source of hope and gives the gift of faith. This is the "yes and amen" from the Canons: our ultimate consolation is found in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Let us walk in him believing we will overcome by His Power.

This episode of Rick and Elaine Discuss the Book of Job is one of the most emotionally weighty and theologically rich conversations in the series so far. From the opening point on, we slow down and allow Job chapter 3 to speak for itself, carefully distinguishing between narrative prose and dense Hebrew poetry, and feel the raw grief rather than rush past it. We honor the honesty of Job's lament, showing that Scripture does not shy away from despair, confusion, or the cry of a righteous sufferer who feels crushed by loss. By drawing thoughtful connections to Genesis, Jeremiah, the Psalms, and ultimately the incarnation of Christ, we frame Job's anguish within the larger biblical story of creation, de-creation, redemption, and the new creation IN Christ Jesus, without softening the pain or offering shallow answers.We openly acknowledge how grief, loss, and suffering distort our perception of life itself, and we invite you to sit with Job's words rather than explain them away. Our discussion gently but clearly points to Christ as the answer Job longed for, not by dismissing Job's darkness, but by showing how Jesus fulfills the hope that Job could only glimpse. This is not a lecture or a debate, but a shared wrestling with Scripture that encourages honesty before God, patience with suffering, and confidence that the Redeemer truly lives. For anyone walking through grief, studying Job, or longing for a deeper, more compassionate approach to Scripture, especially during this holiday season and the New Year approaching, this episode is both challenging and deeply comforting.If you'd like to watch this in video form, as well as episodes already released, hop on over to our Patreon page!

Only Know One Thing 1 Corinthians 2 The Fifth Sunday of Epiphany Sunday, February 8, 2026 The Rev. Andrew DeFusco, Rector Church of the Redeemer, Nashville, TN www.Redeemer-Nashville.net

In this episode, we discuss the significance of the name of Jesus.

God often provides rescue through the faithful actions of others. Redemption is notsomething we earn, but something extended through a person He appoints to act onour behalf. This points forward to the ultimate Redeemer, whose work secures hopeand restoration for all who trust Him.

We can only rest if we trust God. In Exodus 16 God is teaching his people to trust him by providing them daily bread. Just enough for each day. They had to let go of their anxiety about what they would eat tomorrow and trust that he would provide for them.

The King ArrivesMark 1:1-15Rev. Michael Craddock

Caleb Schafer, the Lead Pastor of Redeemer's Church, finishes his series about the New Year being a MOMENT in time that marks WHEN God wants to do a NEW THING-in you, for you, around you, and with you. February 8th, 2026 | 2.8.26 Category: Sensing, Progression, Whisper

Christ Died to Redeem us...1. From Sin's Penalty (Romans 6:23)2. From Sin's Power (Galatians 2:20)3. To God's Presence (Ephesians 5:25–27) NEW CITY CATECHISMQ24: Why was it necessary for Christ, the Redeemer, to die?A: Since death is the punishment for sin, Christ died willingly in our place to deliver us from the power and penalty of sin and bring us back to God. By his substitutionary atoning death, he alone redeems us from hell and gains for us forgiveness of sin, righteousness, and everlasting life (WCF 8.4; 8.5; 8.8; 11.3; WSC Q25; Q27; Q33; Q35; Q38; WLC Q38–40; Q44–45; Q70–73).

Matthew 16:13-2813Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. 18And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” 20Then he strictly charged the disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.21 rom that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised. 22And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it from you, Lord! This shall never happen to you.” 23But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.”24Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul? 27For the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay each person according to what he has done. 28Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”

Naomi's attitude has gone from bitter to hopeful as she guides Ruth towards Boaz. Knowing he's a redeemer, Naomi encourages her daughter in law, and Ruth listens. Often God can feel distant, we can feel in the dark, but the Lord is always at work in His providence. Noting happens apart from His will and plan, even when we can't see it.

Scott StrickmanSermon Series: Maturing in ChristColossians 3:5-11 (ESV)5 Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 6 On account of these the wrath of God is coming. 7 In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. 8 But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. 9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. 11 Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all.Sermon OutlineMaturing in the fulness of the life Jesus invites us into requires intentionally putting an end to former ways.1.

We confess we have been covetous. We have been ruled by selfish desires. We have fixated on things people have, and have treated people as though they were things. We are guilty of the very ways you have warned us to put aside. Our lips have exposed that our hearts are not right. Forgive every expression of sin, and free us from the power and presence of sin within us. We turn to you, receiving the life of Christ through faith, and commit to walking in him.

Luke 1:57-80 | John's birth had been foretold, now it is realized.  With this promise from God fulfilled, worshipful ramifications ripple.  And with this promise fulfilled, Zechariah is filled with a prophecy of praise.  This passage highlights for us God as a promise keeper and compassionate Redeemer. The implications of these two realities of God have a massive impact on how we live with Him in the here and now of everyday life.

At Redeemer, we take seriously Jesus' call to "Go and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." Apprenticeship to Jesus is not a one time decision, but a lifelong journey of following Jesus as our master-teacher. Since the goal of the Christian life is maturity in Jesus, apprenticeship must be deep and holistic, transforming the spiritual, physical, emotional, social, and vocational parts of men and women. Apprenticeship to Jesus is learning to practice the way of Jesus in our homes, relationships, neighborhoods, and jobs. We believe Christlikeness is cultivated as we implement spiritual practices, live in community with other believers, and submit to the Word and the Spirit. We agree with Dallas Willard who said, "that the gospel is opposed to earning, not effort." As we move towards cultivating a life of loving God and people, we trust Christ will mature us into his likeness. https://redeemerwichita.church/

In a world driven by performance, pressure, and constant striving, true rest can feel elusive. In Ruth 3, we see God's invitation to a deeper kind of rest—not just relief from busyness, but rest for the soul. As Naomi seeks rest for Ruth, we discover that biblical rest is found not in doing more, but in placing ourselves under the care of a faithful Redeemer. This message explores how surrender, trust, and humility lead to true security, and how Jesus ultimately fulfills this promise by inviting the weary to come to Him and find rest that is settled, secure, and lasting.

This message is Part B to the previous message on Tribulation. It denns in the reality, through Job's life example, that blessed men go through valleys of weeping.

In Episode 1: “The Supremacy of Christ” (Colossians 1), Greg and Nathan explore how the supremacy of Jesus shapes our theology, our worship, and our daily lives—grounded in the sovereignty of God, the sufficiency of Scripture, and our union with Christ. The conversation centers on Paul's exalted vision of Jesus as Creator, Sustainer, and Redeemer. From Christ as the image of the invisible God to the hope-filled mystery of “Christ in you,” this episode lays the foundation for the entire letter, showing how the gospel not only saves but sustains and transforms the church. This series invites listeners to behold Christ as preeminent in all things—and to live like He truly is.
