Fall leaves remind us how beauty and brevity often go hand in hand. As our daily prayer and devotional remind us, the brilliant colors of autumn are breathtaking, yet fleeting—lasting only a short season before they wither and fall. Whitney Hopler connects this truth to the gift of each day: time is temporary, and the opportunities God gives us only come once. Too often, we miss those gifts. We get caught up in stress, worry, or distractions, focusing on yesterday’s mistakes or tomorrow’s uncertainties. But Psalm 118:24 reminds us that God calls us to live fully in this day, to rejoice in the present moment because He made it and is with us in it. Rejoicing isn’t about ignoring pain or pretending life is easy. It’s about choosing joy because of God’s presence. Even when circumstances are difficult, His faithfulness gives us reason to be glad. Each day holds blessings—whether in laughter with loved ones, a sunset, or the simple joy of God’s peace. We can train our eyes to notice His goodness in the ordinary. Like fall leaves, today is precious because it won’t come again. When we choose to rejoice, we stop clinging to yesterday and worrying about tomorrow. We live fully, gratefully, and joyfully in the presence of God today. Today's Bible Reading "This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." – Psalm 118:24, ESV Key Takeaways Each day is a gift from God and an opportunity to rejoice in Him. Joy is not dependent on perfect circumstances but on God’s faithful presence. Living fully today means noticing and embracing everyday blessings. Choosing gladness builds a life rooted in gratitude and trust in God. Let’s Pray Together Dear God, thank You for making this day and giving it to me. Forgive me for the times I’ve let worry or busyness keep me from noticing Your blessings. Open my eyes to see Your goodness in the ordinary and teach me to rejoice, even when life is difficult. Help me to live fully in today, trusting in Your presence as my reason for joy. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Do you ever feel like there are times that God is distant when you're going through trials? Pastor Ricky will be reminding us that God is never distant but He is extremely present. He's working within us a greater depth of godliness and character as we walk through trials. Jesus Himself went through severe tribulations and hardships. It was meaningful suffering that worked out a greater good for all mankind. In the same way, God is using the hardships you're facing in your life for a greater good.

1 Chronicles 24 deals with the division of the 24 orders of priests arranged by Samuel and David. Chapter 25 deals with the orders of the singers and musicians for the temple choirs. Why were the musicians and singers so arranged? It is because divine worship is sacred and not haphazard. It is related to the "worshiping of Yahweh in the beauty of holiness" Psalm 96:8. There were 24 appointed divisions of the singers and this surely takes us to the 24 elders who praised the LORD's appointed king Messiah i.e. our Lord Jesus Christ in Revelation 4 verse 8-11; 5 verses 8-14. Heman and Jeduthan were the chief arrangers of the choirs and the musicians. Asaph was the one who oversaw the process and who also wrote several magnificent Psalms. Asaph's legacy to the nation lasted 450 years. Ezekiel 34 tells of the disgraceful behaviour of the cruel and greedy shepherds of Israel. The primary sin of those shepherds was selfishness: they looked after themselves and not God's flock. It was true in the days of the prophet. Even more true at the time of the Lord Jesus Christ. Yahweh would not tolerate the treatment of His sheep by these corrupt and profligate leaders. God would care for them. Israel's Sovereign will provide for them and seek out pasture for His people. And by His Son the Almighty would restore and feed them. The Lord Jesus Christ in John 10 is the Good Shepherd; in 1 Peter 5 he is the Chief Shepherd; and in Hebrews 13 he is the Great Shepherd. According to Acts 28 Paul spent two years under house arrest in Rome (AD62-64). During this time Philippians, and Philemon were written. Acts 16 provides the background to the gospel arriving in Philippi., where his preaching awaits "hearts opened by God" in Lydia and the Philippian jailor and others. Philippians is called Paul's letter of joy and its theme is, "Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say rejoice." In chapter 1 of the letter the Apostle describes his constant thanksgiving for the love of the believers in that city. Philippi was a colony which was heavily Roman in every way. Paul tells the believers in Christ in that city of the advance of the gospel in Rome and that even members of the Praetorian guard had become faithful believers. Unfortunately, not all 'brethren' were happy - there was a group of false believers (known as Judaizers) whose motives for preaching were to see Paul persecuted. Paul, indeed, would have been happy to die for the faith, nonetheless he felt that by continuing to live he would be of greater benefit to the believers. In chapter 2 we have wonderful exhortations of Christ's mindset, as always being to honour and exalt his Father and for the benefit of others. Let that, said Paul, be the attitude of every faithful saint. As God's Son our Lord had a status higher than anyone yet he suffered as a servant in his death on the cross. Christ is now exalted at the Father's right hand and having his Father's name the of Yahweh Himself (Isaiah 45): compare with Revelation 14 verses 1-5. Believers bear the responsibility of shining as lights to this twisted world. The Apostle shows that Timothy and Epaphroditus both demonstrate Christ-like love for the believers in Philippi. The two faithful and indefatigable labourers own lives were put behind them in the course of their own efforts to advance the gospel.Thanks for joining us - we pray you found these comments helpful in your appreciation of God's words, join again tomorrow

In this message from our “In Context” series, we explore Philippians 4:4-8 and discover Paul's practical roadmap for maintaining joy, peace, and reasonableness—even in the midst of chaos and opposition. Writing from prison to a persecuted church, Paul commands them to rejoice, be gentle toward others, and refuse anxiety by bringing everything to God with thanksgiving. The result? A supernatural peace that guards our hearts and minds. But Paul doesn't stop there—he calls us to carefully curate what we think about, focusing on what is true, honorable, pure, and praiseworthy. In a world dominated by outrage, doom-scrolling, and divisive social media, this ancient wisdom offers a lifeline for believers struggling with anxiety, anger, and hopelessness. Learn how to apply this powerful passage to your thought life, your online habits, and your daily walk with God.  

Joshua Solowey | 10.05.25 | ethoschurch.org

In our text today, the Apostle Peter exhorts the church not to be surprised when they experience fiery trials. Fiery trials are not just hardships of inconvenience but they're painful and can give extreme anguish to the soul. Pastor Ricky will be encouraging us to rejoice during trials as well as fiery trials because God will use them to work within us something great. As a Christian, God will work all things out for good in your life, even the worst of tribulations.

Take some time out of your day for God's healing word. http://www.prayerdrive.com/

Paul tells the believers that they should follow his example, and the example of other believers in Philippi. We must learn to keep our eyes on those who follow Jesus, imitate their example of faithfulness and remember that we are citizens of heaven not earth. 

Recorded live at our regular Sunday worship service at the Vel Phillips Memorial High School auditorium, Madison, WI.

Pastor Kurt takes a deep dive into Philippians 3:1–11, where Paul lays aside performance-based religion, rejecting confidence in his own achievements. He embraces righteousness through faith in Christ and commits to knowing Him deeply. His life is now marked by living in pursuit of resurrection power, even through suffering, with the goal of eternal life in Christ.

This sermon from Philippians 2:12–18 was preached on October 5, 2025 by J.P. Stokes as part of the sermon series "Rejoice in the Lord Always."

GOD Loves You 

In Our Suffering, Economic Uncertainty, and Health Crises, You Can Still Rejoice as a Jesus Follower Because Jesus has Made You His Own MESSAGE SUMMARY: By accepting Jesus, you can be born of the Holy Spirit and have your sins forgiven by His sacrificial death on the cross, through God's Grace. Paul explains, in Philippians 3:9b-12, that Jesus “has made me His own”: ‘but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead. Straining Toward the Goal. Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own'.”. Amidst suffering and loss; economic uncertainty; and family crises, you can still celebrate and rejoice because you know that God has given your life and life eternal. We know that God is with us, and He will never leave us.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Surely it is God who saves me. I will trust in Him and not be afraid. For the Lord is my stronghold and my defense, and He is my savior. Therefore, you shall draw water with rejoicing from the springs of salvation. And on that day, you shall say, “Give thanks to the Lord and call upon His Name; make His deeds known among the peoples; see that they remember that His Name is exalted.”. Amen. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because I am in Jesus Christ, I will trust in the Lord with all my heart. I will trust in the Lord with all of my heart and lean not on my own understanding.  In all my ways I will seek to know Him, and He will make my pathways straight.   From Proverbs 3:5f SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Philippians 3:7-12; John 5:24; Matthew 28:19-20; Psalms 78f:61-72.

Live Simply, Rejoice in Creation, Be a Peacemaker, Go out on Mission!

It's Thursday, October 2nd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Hindus barged into church assaulted pastor and destroyed Bibles Praise God! A court in India recently acquitted a Christian who faced charges under an “anti-conversion” law. The state of Uttarakhand passed the measure in 2018. Pastor Nandan Singh Bisht was the first Christian charged under the law. He faced years of legal battles. However, a judicial magistrate finally cleared the pastor of all charges on September 17th. The case began in 2021. Pastor Bisht gathered with 25 Christians in his house for prayer. In response, local Hindus barged into the house, destroyed their Bibles, and assaulted the pastor. Despite the ordeal, Pastor Bisht told Morning Star News that God was “always faithful and sustained my family's needs. This is the result of answered prayers.” In Matthew 5:11-12, Jesus said, “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in Heaven.” Filipino earthquake kills 60 A 6.9-magnitude earthquake struck the Philippines on Tuesday. The powerful quake killed at least 60 people and injured over 150 more. Philippine Red Cross Chairman Richard Gordon told CNN, “Some churches partially collapsed, and some schools had to be evacuated. This [earthquake] was a sleeper. It crept up on us.” Wycliff Bible Translators released 23 complete Bibles & 95 New Testaments Wycliffe Bible Translators released their latest statistics on Tuesday. Over the past year, translators have released 23 complete Bibles and 95 New Testaments. This work brings the whole Bible to nearly 200 million more people. James Poole, the executive director of Wycliffe Bible Translators, stated, “In recent years, we have seen an extraordinary surge in Bible translation. Progress is happening at a pace and scale not witnessed before, and whole communities are beginning to receive the Scriptures far sooner than we could once have imagined.”  Scottish police arrest pro-life grandmother for second time Police in Scotland recently re-arrested a 75-year-old pro-life grandmother for standing outside an abortion mill Rose Docherty simply held a sign that read, “Coercion is a crime, here to talk, only if you want.” It's the second time authorities arrested her under Scotland's buffer zone law.  The U.S. State Department told The Telegraph, “The arrest of Rose Docherty is another egregious example of the tyrannical suppression of free speech happening across Europe.” U.S. Gov't shutdown @ midnight Wednesday The U.S. government entered a shutdown at midnight on Wednesday.  Congressional leaders could not reach a deal to pass a spending bill by the deadline. Republicans are calling for spending cuts, while Democrats are pushing for more social programs and foreign aid. Listen to comments from Vice President J.D. Vance.  VANCE: “To the American people who are watching, the reason your government is shut down at this very minute is because, despite the fact that the overwhelming majority of congressional Republicans and even a few moderate Democrats supported opening the government, the Chuck Schumer/AOC wing of the Democratic Party shut down the government because they said to us, ‘We will open the government, but only if you give billions of dollars of funding for healthcare for illegal aliens.” Previously, the federal government has had 20 funding gaps, resulting in 10 shutdowns since 1976. Contemporary Christian Music ranked 4th and religious stations ranked 2nd Inside Radio released the top 10 radio formats based on current month counts. Religion-formatted stations ranked second, and Contemporary Christian Music ranked fourth. Of the top 10, only Contemporary Christian has welcomed new stations into the format every month over the last year. Religion-formatted stations also saw consistent growth.  Other music formats like Country and Top 40 lost a significant number of stations.   Public & private school students bring their Bible to school today And finally, today is Focus on the Family's annual Bring Your Bible to School Day.  Nearly 1.3 million people and over 10,000 churches participated last year.  Emerson Collins is the Parenting and Youth Program Manager for Focus on the Family. He told The Christian Post, “We're looking at thousands of churches, thousands of schools and 2 million students total participating.” Collins said the celebration is not just about bringing Bibles to school but also talking about Christ. He noted, “That's what we're hoping to create is the curiosity, the connection and the conversation around Christ and the Gospel.” The celebration is inspired this year by James 1:22. The verse says, “Be doers of the Word, and not hearers only.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, October 2nd, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

If Judgment is Silenced, Grace Loses its Depth Exodus 12Episode 7 - Sep. 28, 20251. Some Days Matter More Than OthersGraduation, debt-free, healing, wedding, birth — unforgettable.
Exodus 12 stands above all in Israel's memory.
Still recounted today.
  2. God's Judgment Is RealNine plagues already unleashed. Pharaoh's heart hardened.
Even his officials say, “Just let them go! Egypt is dying!”
Now comes plague #10: Death of the firstborn (Exodus 12:12–13).
“On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn… I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the Lord. The blood will be a sign… when I see the blood, I will pass over you.” Poetic justice: Pharaoh once commanded, “Kill every Hebrew boy” (Exodus 1).
God has seen injustice. God has heard the cries of His people.
Strong Statement: Evil and injustice do not have the last laugh. God is the only Judge.  3. If Judgment Is Silenced, Grace Loses Its DepthOur culture says:“Love is unconditional affirmation.”
“Tolerance is the highest virtue — you do you.”
Leads to: God doesn't judge.
But… God is Love, God forgives, AND God is Holy and Just.
  4. The Lord's PassoverInstructions: spotless lamb, blood painted with hyssop, roasted meal, cloak tucked in, sandals on, staff in hand (Exodus 12:2–11).
This is the Lord's Passover — not Israel's paint job.
 Strong Statements:It's God's Salvation, not your Decoration.
It's God's Deliverance, not your Diligence.
The angel looked for the blood, not the brushstrokes.
Question: What are you trusting in — your effort or His blood?  5. The Blood of the LambIsrael not spared because they were better — they were idolaters too.
They were spared only by the blood of the lamb.
Ezekiel 18:20 – “The soul who sins dies.”
Sin deserves death — but God provides substitution.
 Biblical Hints of Substitution:Genesis 3: God covers Adam & Eve with animal skins.
Genesis 22: Ram provided in place of Isaac, crowned with thorns.
Exodus 12: One lamb for a household.
Leviticus 16: One lamb for a nation.
John 1:29: “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”
1 Cor 5:7: “Christ, our Passover Lamb.”
1 Peter 1:19: “Redeemed… with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.”
 If sin isn't serious, the cross isn't necessary.  6. Why This MattersGod must punish sin and destroy evil.
But God made a way: the blood of Jesus.
Ephesians 2:4–5 – “Because of His great love… by grace you have been saved.”
Hebrews 11:28 – “By faith he kept the Passover and the application of blood, so the destroyer… would not touch them.”
 Questions to the Heart:Are you under the blood of the Lamb?
Are you trusting in Christ's sacrifice or your own goodness?
Will you rejoice, repent — or refuse?
  7. Call to ResponseSalvation isn't found in:Ethnicity
Goodness
Effort
Proximity to God's people
Only in Christ, the Lamb of God.
 Closing Declaration:If judgment is silenced, grace loses its depth — for it is the judgment we deserved that makes His sacrifice our only hope.
Thank you Jesus, you have saved my life.
Come under the blood of the Lamb today. Rejoice, or Repent — just don't Refuse.

Luke 15 Now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus. 2 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.” 3 Then Jesus told them this parable: 4 “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn't he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?  5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.'  7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.   8 “Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Doesn't she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? 9 And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.'  10 In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”   11 Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. 12 The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided his property between them. 13 “Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living.  14 After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need.  15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs.  16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything. 17 “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father's hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death!  18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.  19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.' 20 So he got up and went to his father. “But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him. 21 “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.' 22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.  23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate. 24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate. 25 “Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing.  26 So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 27 ‘Your brother has come,' he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.' 28 “The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him.  29 But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these years I've been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends.  30 But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!' 31 “‘My son,' the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. 32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.'”   There is more than one way to get lost. Wandering Indifference Reckless Rebellion Religious self-righteousness     Make your home in Jesus, and let Jesus make His home in you.

"Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:12As we've studied the Beatitudes in "The Good Life" fall message series, we've learned what it really means to be blessed in all circumstances. At the close of the Beatitudes, Jesus tells His followers to "rejoice and be glad," especially in the midst of persecution. Join us for the conclusion of the fall message series, “The Good Life.” Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Radical Life // Week 2 // Scandalous CallingPastors JF & Ashley WilkersonMatthew 28:16-20 NIV 16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”1. THE BODYMatthew 28:19 NIV 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations.Ephesians 3:4-6 NIV 4 In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, 5 which was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God's holy apostles and prophets. 6 This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.1. THE BODY2. THE BLESSINGGalatians 3:5-9 NIV 5 So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, or by your believing what you heard? 6 So also Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness. 7 Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham. 8 Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.” 9 So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.Galatians 3:26-29 NIV 26 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.Galatians 3:28-29 NIV 28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.1. THE BODY2. THE BLESSING3. THE BEAUTY1 Corinthians 12:12-14 NIV 12 Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. 13 For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. 14 Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.Romans 12:4-5; 9-10; 15-16a NIV 4 For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5 so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others…9 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves…15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. 16a Live in harmony with one another…1. THE BODY2. THE BLESSING3. THE BEAUTY

This week, we are revisiting a favorite episode. We hope you enjoy going back with us.Habakkuk 3:17-18Though the fig tree may not blossom,Nor fruit be on the vines;Though the labor of the olive may fail,And the fields yield no food;Though the flock may be cut off from the fold,And there be no herd in the stalls—Yet I will rejoice in the LORD,I will joy in the God of my salvation.Habakkuk was told a brutal enemy was coming.They were known for violence. They would come with a force, and take all the herds and clear out all the stalls. They would demolish the trees and plant life that bore fruit or food for sustenance and trade. It was a dismal, terrifying horizon.And yet we witness Habakkuk change, even though the circumstances didn't. This three-chapter book impacts me every time.Also, this episode comes with a warning. Though I keep things pretty mellow here at The Quiet Place, there may be some percussion and a cymbal or two at the end of this song.I will sing, "Yet I Will Rejoice."I will read to you from:Habakkuk 3:17-18If you would like to support this podcast with a monthly or one-time gift, thank you!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.sherriyoungward.com/support⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠To find out about upcoming gatherings and new projects, please join my email list at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.sherriyoungward.com

Paul reminds us that salvation is the starting line, not the finish line, and true maturity means recognizing we still have more growing to do. Like a runner pressing toward the goal, we must forget past failures and successes and keep straining forward toward deeper fellowship with Christ. And since the race is too hard to run alone, God gave us the church so we can press on together until we reach the finish line with Him.

Also the last minute is wild, as this Lutheran impastor DOESN'T want people to "pick up their cross and follow Jesus" because "I hate these scriptures."What Does God's Word Say?Luke 16:13-1413 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”14 The Pharisees, who loved money, heard all this and were sneering at Jesus. 15 He said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of others, but God knows your hearts. What people value highly is detestable in God's sight.4 Blessed are those who mourn,    for they will be comforted.In Matthew 5:4, "John MacArthur's Study Bible explains that "Blessed are those who mourn" refers to two kinds of sorrow: sorrow over the tragedy of life and, more importantly, deep sorrow over one's own sin. This spiritual mourning, distinct from worldly grief, leads to true comfort from God, a comfort that brings lasting happiness and satisfaction in the kingdom of God.5 Blessed are the meek,    for they will inherit the earth."Blessed are the meek" refers to a state of spiritual humility and gentleness where one is strong but under God's control, not ruled by self-will or pride, and will inherit the earth. Meekness involves admitting one's need for others and God, receiving correction, and being willing to put others' needs first, leading to a deep and blessed walk with God. 6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,    for they will be filled.7 Blessed are the merciful,    for they will be shown mercy.8 Blessed are the pure in heart,    for they will see God.9 Blessed are the peacemakers,    for they will be called children of God.10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
