The word "baptism" is a Greek word (from "bapto") that indicates a dipping into. It is used in four ways in the New Testament: the baptism of John the Baptist, the baptism of Christ's suffering, the baptism of believers, and the baptism in the Holy Spirit. John's baptism unto repentance and confession represented a bridge between the old way of the Law and the prophets and the new way of the Gospel. Jesus instructs his followers to make disciples, baptizing them and then continuing to teach them. The pattern in the New Testament is the hearing of the Gospel followed by baptism.

Repentance is one of God's great gifts to humanity. The ability to move past our mistakes, to cleanse ourselves from our previous trauma, to expunge sin and any of its after effects is indeed a great gift. But this gift may come with some scary packaging. We are all a bit intimidated with the notion […]

It is the work of the Holy Spirit to “reprove” sin, which is to expose sin and to set it right by bringing us to repentance, specifically to turn us from the sin of failing to recognizing Christ.  The ability both to proclaim the word and to receive are dependent on the presence of God's Spirit in us, and once the seed is planted it will produce change in us.  We are warned not to neglect the gift we are given and not to grieve the Spirit.

In this powerful sermon, Pastor Jonathan Galvan addresses the weight of a broken world and the urgent need for repentance, emphasizing that true repentance involves recognizing sin, grieving over it, turning away, confessing, and rejoicing in God's forgiveness through Christ. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 7, he contrasts godly sorrow, which leads to salvation, with worldly sorrow, urging believers to embrace a life transformed by the gospel.   Stay Connected with Redeemer: Website: redeemermidland.org Instagram: instagram.com/redeemermidland Facebook: facebook.com/RedeemerMidland   At Redeemer, we seek to be a Gospel-Centered, Missional Family.

The message of Jesus as Lord and Christ, and the realization that it was this Jesus that they crucified, landed on the hearts of the people of Jerusalem with the force of cutting conviction. They knew they were guilty. What should they do? This Jesus whom they crucified will forgive them. The very death they caused is the means by which their sin is removed. Repentance, faith, and confession of Jesus as Lord is the way forward. This remains the way today. Grace Community Church exists to build spiritually healthy people for ministry in the world. One of the ways that we pursue this mission is by gathering each Sunday for corporate worship, prayer, and biblical teaching.

Judges 10- Lawson Harlow

The weekly podcast of Empowerment Ministries Christian Center, led by Pastor Irene T. Magee

In this sermon, pastor Dylan Dodson preaches from Luke 3 and John 3 as we look at the life of John the Baptist and see what a life of genuine repentance looks like.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Support our mission to teach every verse of the Bible. Read more here: Project23 Our text today is Judges 4:1-3: And the people of Israel again did what was evil in the sight of the Lord after Ehud died. And the Lord sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor. The commander of his army was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth-hagoyim. Then the people of Israel cried out to the Lord for help, for he had 900 chariots of iron, and he oppressed the people of Israel cruelly for twenty years. — Judges 4:1-3 Why do we keep falling back into the same sins we swore we'd never touch again? The story opens with a phrase we've heard before: “The people of Israel again did what was evil in the sight of the Lord.” Notice the timing—after Ehud died. With their leader gone, Israel slipped right back into rebellion. Same song, second verse. This time, God handed them over to Jabin, king of Canaan. And Sisera, his commander, rolled out 900 iron chariots—state-of-the-art war machines. For twenty years, Israel lived under cruel oppression. And finally—they cried out. The cycle repeats: sin → slavery → suffering → supplication → salvation. This is how sin works. Left unchecked, it always drags us back into bondage. Maybe your “Sisera” isn't a general with iron chariots—it's anger, lust, addiction, or pride. You beat it once, but without vigilance, it creeps back, stronger and more ruthless than before. And here's the dangerous part: we learn to live with it. We call it “normal.” We convince ourselves the chains aren't that heavy. But eventually, sin always shows its true colors—it becomes cruel, it takes more than it gives, and it leaves you emptier than before. Don't wait twenty years to cry out to God. Don't wait until the oppression becomes unbearable. Cry out today. The cycle doesn't have to define you, because God's mercy is greater than your failure, and his deliverance is stronger than the grip of your enemy. ASK THIS: What old sin cycle keeps trying to drag me back into bondage? Do I wait until life gets unbearable before I cry out to God? How does the absence of spiritual leadership in my life make me more vulnerable? What's one practical step I can take today to break the cycle? DO THIS: Name your “Sisera”—the sin that keeps coming back. Write it down. Pray over it. And share it with a trusted brother or sister in Christ for accountability. PRAY THIS: Lord, I don't want to repeat the same old sins. Help me cry out to you now, not later, and trust you to break the cycle. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Lord, I Need You."

God's Word is very powerful and that is seen when Jonah preaches to the city of Nineveh. True repentance takes place in their hearts and the judgment that was promised is removed. But how does repentance take place? And what does the preaching of God's Word have to do with it? Jonah 3 gives us a glimpse into a great God and his incredible mercy towards sinners!1) God's grace to Jonah2) God's grace to NinevehText: Jonah 3

This message, The Power of David’s Hunger (Part 2), explores how David’s spiritual hunger drove him to fight battles, overcome criticism, endure jealousy, and remain faithful under pressure. His example shows that true hunger for God sustains us through trials, keeps our hearts humble, and strengthens our resolve to follow Him

Join us for Sabbath Lounge Live, which occurred on September 9th at 8pm, as we tackle the toughest biblical “rabbit trails” about salvation, repentance, sin, the Torah, and the heart of Scripture!  Dive into questions like:   – What are the core elements of salvation? – What does true repentance mean, and what are we repenting from? – What is sin and how does the Bible define “missing the mark”? – Did the meaning of sin change after the Messiah's death and resurrection? – Many more thought-provoking topics! Whether you're searching for answers or want to go deeper in faith, this interactive livestream welcomes all questions. Watch LIVE on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram! Set your reminder, bring your questions, and invite a friend to the discussion!   What elements make up “salvation”? What is repentance? What are we repentant of/repenting from? What is sin? What “mark” are we missing that is called sin? What was sin the day before Messiah died? What was sin the day Messiah was resurrected? Why did they stone Stephen? (I have notes on this for detail) Can we do “all things through Messiah”? Can you keep Torah? What is a Jew? Who was the first Jew? Who is the New Covenant for? What is a “lost sheep from the house of Israel”? What is “the house of Israel” How many tribes of Isreal are there? Do we want His kingdom and will done on earth as in heaven? Where can we look to see what His kingdom looks like? What can we do to live out those kingdom principles now? If you don't want to keep the Torah now, will you want to when Messiah returns? What does Jeremiah say will be “in our hearts” in the New Covenant? What does Ezekiel say it means to have the law in our hearts? When they talk about “the Word” in the NT or “the Scriptures”, what are they referring to? Where do we ever see a prophet say the law will stop being applicable? Where do we ever see Yahushua say the law will stop being applicable? Anti-Messiah has a sign/mark, what is Yah's sign/mark? If Sabbath went away, what is Matthew 24:20 referring to? If we now keep the “spirit” of the law, how are we keeping the spirit of “eat clean”, “feast days”, “don't worship Me as the nations do their gods”?  What is the spirit of these things?   www.sabbathlounge.com

In this insightful sermon, Chris Montgomery explores the metaphor of the wilderness as a transformative experience in Christian life. Drawing from Isaiah 40 and the story of John the Baptist, Montgomery encourages believers to embrace difficult seasons as opportunities for spiritual growth and divine calling. He highlights the importance of remaining open to God's voice during these times, suggesting that wilderness experiences can strategically position us for kingdom work. This message inspires faithfulness and repentance, urging listeners to recognize their current place as divinely ordained.

A Rebuke, A Remembrance, A Repentance, A Response,

Sermon Text: Various Texts Teacher: Coltan Schiefer Scripture Reading: Hebrews 4:12-16

Send us a textWhat does true humility look like? Looking to Psalm 22, we explore Christ's ultimate example—becoming "a worm and no man" to save those who could never save themselves. This profound paradox reveals why God designed reality to magnify humility: to showcase the treasure of His character through the most unexpected means.We dive deep into the nature of genuine repentance, moving beyond simplistic definitions. Drawing from Ezekiel 36, we discover that turning from sin requires something we can't generate ourselves—a new heart. "I will put my spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statutes." This divine promise reshapes our understanding of salvation as God's work from beginning to end.The conversation takes a personal turn when a participant vulnerably shares her struggle to live faithfully amid past pain. The group's response demonstrates Christian community at its best—bearing one another's burdens with practical wisdom: "Go out of your way to annoy God. Beg Him, bug Him around the clock until He gives you what you need."This journey through scripture reveals that humility isn't weakness but the very channel through which God's power flows. When we acknowledge our complete dependence on Him, He smooths our rough paths and makes straight our crooked ways. As one participant reminds us, true strength comes when we "seek Him wholeheartedly, first in everything we do."Join our next live study as we continue exploring Galatians 5 and the contrast between the flesh and the Spirit. Connect with us to experience the power of biblical community where we walk together, learn together, and grow together in Christ.The Balance of GrayFaith That Challenges. Conversations that Matter.

Send us a textThe ancient prophecies of Isaiah come alive in this exploration of Luke 3:4-5, where we discover the profound significance of John the Baptist's ministry as "the voice crying in the wilderness." Far more than historical events, these passages reveal God's masterful plan for reconciliation with humanity.What happens when divine roadwork begins in human hearts? The imagery of filling valleys and lowering mountains paints a vivid picture of God's equalizing grace. The lowly and humble—represented by valleys—are lifted up, while the proud and self-important—symbolized by mountains—are brought low. This spiritual leveling creates equal footing for all who approach the King of Kings, removing barriers between humanity and God.We carefully examine how Jesus himself identified John the Baptist as the fulfillment of Malachi's prophecy about Elijah's return, confirming we're already living in the prophesied kingdom era. This corrects misunderstandings propagated by dispensationalist interpretations that mistakenly push God's kingdom into some distant future rather than recognizing its present reality.The "King's Highway" metaphor would have resonated powerfully with first-century listeners who understood the elaborate preparations made for royal processions. Just as literal roads were straightened and obstacles removed for kings, John prepared hearts to receive Jesus—the divine King whose arrival changed human history forever. The parallel references to "the Lord" and "our God" in these passages offer compelling evidence of Christ's divinity.Whether you're a seasoned Bible student or just beginning your spiritual journey, this message will deepen your understanding of how Scripture's prophecies fit together perfectly in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Let these ancient words transform your perspective as you recognize your place in God's continuing story of redemption.The Balance of GrayFaith That Challenges. Conversations that Matter.

Send us a textThe pathway to God isn't meant to be complicated. Through an exploration of Luke 3:4-5, this conversation unpacks the powerful imagery of mountains being brought low, valleys raised up, crooked paths straightened, and rough ways made smooth—all describing how God has made Himself accessible to humanity.Mountains in Scripture often symbolize pride and self-exaltation, representing our human tendency to elevate ourselves to positions only God should occupy. Throughout history, from Pharaoh to King Saul, those who exalted themselves were eventually brought low. Conversely, valleys represent humility, with God promising to exalt those who humble themselves before Him.Most fascinating is the imagery of straightening crooked paths and smoothing rough ways. The religious leaders of Jesus' time had created unnecessarily complex spiritual pathways filled with legalistic requirements that obscured God's true intent. When Jesus began His ministry, particularly in the Sermon on the Mount, He systematically straightened these paths with His repeated formula: "You have heard it was said... but I tell you..." He wasn't changing God's law but revealing its proper understanding and application.The conversation delves into how repentance connects to forgiveness—not merely changing one's mind but turning from sin toward God. This spiritual transformation involves recognizing our sinful nature and inability to merit salvation through works. Christ's "spiritual roadwork" ensures that no one can claim ignorance as an excuse for not finding the way to God.Perhaps most encouraging is the reminder that even the Pharisees—once keepers of the crooked roads—could experience transformation. As recorded in Acts, many religious leaders eventually embraced the straight path Jesus revealed, demonstrating that God's accessibility extends to all who would humble themselves and follow His clearly marked way.Join us as we examine our own spiritual journeys and consider whether we're still attempting to climb mountains of self-righteousness or humbly walking the straight path Christ has prepared.The Balance of GrayFaith That Challenges.

Send us a textWhat happens when those who claim to love Jesus have never truly followed Him? This powerful episode dives deep into the unsettling reality of Christian apostasy and the stark contrast between genuine faith and religious performance.We begin by examining how the world's values fundamentally contradict God's design. "What success looks like to the world is completely different," one participant notes, highlighting how easily believers can be pulled into seeking validation from others rather than from God. This tension creates unprepared hearts—souls not ready to embrace biblical truth because they're too attached to their current way of life.The conversation takes a profound turn when discussing John the Baptist as "the voice crying in the wilderness." His ministry wasn't merely historical—it represents the urgent call all believers must embody today. Like a herald warning of approaching danger, John's preaching cleared spiritual obstacles, making straight paths for the Lord through boldness, clarity, and simplicity. This preparation, compared to construction work that levels ground before building, remains our model for spiritual readiness.Most compelling is the examination of apostasy using Hebrews 6 and 1 John 2:19. These passages reveal the sobering truth that many who appear to be Christians—attending church, taking communion, even being baptized—may eventually reveal they never truly believed by walking away. "They were enlightened but not illuminated," one speaker explains, distinguishing between those who merely taste aspects of faith versus those who fully consume it.As darkness increases in our world, so does the opportunity for authentic believers to shine more brightly. "The darker it gets," a participant encourages, "the more the world needs your light." This challenge reminds us that true salvation cannot be lost—those sealed by the Holy Spirit remain secure even as apostasy grows around us.Ready to strengthen your spiritual discernment and better understand the difference between genuine faith and religious performance?

Send us a textDive into the crucial distinction between genuine faith and religious performance as we explore what truly separates believers from apostates. This thought-provoking conversation unpacks the biblical evidence that those who "fall away" from faith were never authentic believers to begin with.At the heart of this discussion lies a profound examination of repentance. We distinguish between worldly repentance—merely modifying external behaviors while leaving the heart unchanged—and godly repentance that transforms from within through the Holy Spirit's work. Using key passages from 1 John 2, Hebrews 6, and 2 Corinthians 7, we demonstrate why true salvation cannot be lost.The conversation takes an unexpected turn when we consider why humility might be God's most treasured virtue. We discover that the lower we position ourselves, the more magnificent God's glory appears to us. Pride, by contrast, attempts to trespass on God's territory. Christ Himself modeled this ultimate humility, even referring to Himself as "a worm and not a man" in Psalm 22.For believers struggling with assurance of salvation, this episode offers biblical comfort and clarity. For those developing spiritual discernment, it provides tools to recognize the difference between genuine faith and mere religious performance. The biblical truth remains: those who are truly His will persevere to the end, not by their own strength, but through His preserving grace.Join us for this deeply theological yet practical exploration of what it means to be truly transformed rather than merely reformed. The stakes couldn't be higher—eternity hangs in the balance.The Balance of GrayFaith That Challenges. Conversations that Matter. Laughs included.

Fr. Mike continues reading from the book of Jeremiah and emphasizes God's judgment against the nations surrounding Israel. Fr. Mike also invites us to meditate on the words of the prophets and repent for our own failures and shortcomings. Today's readings are Jeremiah 47-48, Lamentations 2, and Proverbs 18:1-4.

It's Thursday, September 11th, 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 and Adam McManus Papua New Guinea held National Repentance Day Papua New Guinea held its National Repentance Day last month with prayer and worship gatherings across the country. The event began in 2007 to remember the nation's Christian heritage.  The island country in Oceania is home to over 10 million people, most of whom identify as Christian. Papua New Guinea amended its constitution in March to declare itself a Christian nation. Rev. Jack Urame leads the Lutheran Evangelical Church in the country. He spoke at the recent event, calling for genuine repentance. He said, “Repentance is a way of life, acknowledging God as the source of our life, our country, and our very existence.” Matthew 3:8 says, “Bear fruit in keeping with repentance.” Nearly half of Evangelicals are in Africa Researchers shared data on global evangelicalism at an event hosted by the World Evangelical Alliance last week. Dr. Gina Zurlo, editor of the World Christian Database, estimates that there are up to 937 million Evangelicals worldwide. Also, the center of evangelicalism has shifted. Nearly half of Evangelicals are in Africa, 26% are in Asia, and only 11% are in North America. The country with the largest Evangelical population is now China, not the United States.  Poland shot down suspected Russian drones Reuters reports that Poland shot down suspected Russian drones that entered its airspace yesterday.   Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said it was “the closest we have been to open conflict since World War II.” But he also said he had “no reason to believe we're on the brink of war.” Russia denied responsibility for the incident. This marks the first time a NATO member has fired shots since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. Conservative activist Charlie Kirk assassinated on college campus Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old Christian founder of Turning Point USA, a massive conservative student organization on 3,500 college campuses, was fatally shot and killed on Wednesday, September 10th by an assassin at a Utah Valley University event in Orem, Utah, reports The Blaze.com. Justin Hickens was a witness, reports NBC News. HICKENS: “I was about 20 yards away on Charlie's left. There were thousands of people there. Unfortunately, there was no metal detectors. There was security by Charlie. But, you know, anybody could have shown up with whatever unfortunately. And I, I happen to kind of maneuver my way down close on the side. “The first interaction probably took about 10 minutes, it was a religious-related exchange. And then there was someone who stepped up, ironically, coincidentally, who asked the question about mass shootings. And about 60 to 90 seconds in, we just saw, we heard a big, loud shot. I saw a bunch of blood come out of Charlie. I saw his body kind of kick back and go limp, and everybody dropped to the ground. “Luckily, there were no other bullets sprayed into the crowd, because nobody was really able to go anywhere. It was just like a big open pavilion.” Kirk had 5.3 million followers on his X account and drew an audience of more than 500,000 monthly listeners to podcasts of his radio program, "The Charlie Kirk Show." He also authored or contributed to several books, including Time for a Turning Point: Setting a Course Toward Free Markets and Limited Government for Future Generations as well as The College Scam: How America's Universities Are Bankrupting and Brainwashing Away the Future of America's Youth, reports Reuters. Utah Republican Governor Spencer Cox characterized the shooting this way. COX: “I want to be very clear that this is a political assassination. We are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights. First one of those is life. And today, a life was taken. “Charlie Kirk was, first and foremost, a husband and a dad to two young children. He was also very much politically involved, and that's why he was here on campus. Charlie believed in the power of free speech and debate to shape ideas and to persuade people.” While police initially arrested an older man as a suspect, he was subsequently released, reports The Daily Mail. Then, after FBI Director Kash Patel had a subject in custody, he was also released. The manhunt continues. Blaze Media CEO Tyler Cardon said, "Charlie Kirk was one of one. He was a gifted communicator, loving husband and father, visionary builder, and a faithful Christian. He was the most effective representative of conservative Christian values of his generation. A force of nature. I will miss him dearly." Conservative CNN commentator Scott Jennings said this. JENNINGS: “I'll be honest with you, I am in utter disbelief at this. I sat in this room last summer, the night they shot the president. And now they shot Charlie. I'm not sure it's safe to be an outspoken conservative walking around in America right now. “This nation is in desperate need of prayer and some kind of an intervention. What was Charlie doing? Making a speech, engaging in rhetoric, having a debate. That's the bedrock of our nation.” Kirk's appearance at Utah Valley University was the kick-off event for The American Comeback Tour in which students, who disagreed with him, were invited to come to the microphone at the “Prove Me Wrong” table and ask Kirk a question. Blaze TV host Sara Gonzales was incredulous. GONZALES: “Charlie is doing this tour. Why? Because he wants to have a respectful dialogue with people who don't agree with him. That's the entire intention. That's why he sits there and he invites people up to the mic. He doesn't have to have a mic there. He doesn't have to invite people with opposing opinions up there. “The literal intention behind all of this is to have a civil debate, regardless of your opinion. And apparently, in this country, you can't have a differing opinion from the woke radical ideology without someone attempting to kill you.” Turning Point USA, whose revenue exceeded $81 million in 2022, has not only influenced multiple American elections, but has also sparked difficult conversations, changed perspectives, and helped build new connections on college campuses. President Trump addressed the nation last night on September 10th. TRUMP:  “I am filled with grief and anger at the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk on a college campus in Utah. Charlie inspired millions, and tonight, all who knew him and loved him are united in shock and horror. “Charlie was a patriot who devoted his life to the cause of open debate and the country that he loved so much, the United States of America. He's a martyr for truth and freedom, and there has never been anyone who was so respected by youth. “Charlie was also a man of deep, deep faith. And we take comfort in the knowledge that he is now at peace with God in Heaven. “This is a dark moment for America. Charlie Kirk traveled the nation, joyfully engaging with everyone interested in good faith debate. His mission was to bring young people into the political process, which he did better than anybody – ever -- to share his love of country and to spread the simple words of common sense. On campuses nationwide, he championed his ideas with courage, logic, humor and grace.” President Trump objected to how the Left and the media have demonized conservatives like Charlie Kirk. TRUMP: “It's long past time for all Americans and the media to confront the fact that violence and murder are the tragic consequence of demonizing those with whom you disagree day after day, year after year, in the most hateful and despicable way possible. For years, those on the radical Left have compared wonderful Americans, like Charlie, to Nazis and the world's worst mass murderers and criminals. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism that we're seeing in our country today, and it must stop right now.” And Pastor Greg Laurie of Harvest Christian Fellowship shared this emotional reaction. LAURIE: “I'm sure many of you have heard the heartbreaking news. Charlie Kirk has died. This is an incredible loss. Charlie was such a courageous young man. “He was not only a bold and unwavering voice for Biblical truth in our culture, but also a devoted follower of Jesus Christ, a husband and a family man. He will be deeply missed. “As shocking as this news is, we can take comfort in knowing that Charlie is now in Heaven. The moment he took his last breath here on Earth, he took his first breath in the presence of the Lord. That is the hope we hold on to as believers: eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ.” Charlie Kirk is survived by his wife Erika, a former Miss Arizona USA beauty pageant winner, and their two children. Phillip Brown, a Christian businessman in Belton, Texas, said, “I pray that more young men will take his place and not be silenced.”   Hero of 9/11 remembered And finally, today marks 24 years since the tragic 9/11 attacks. In the early morning of September 11, 2001, 19 al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial airliners. The terrorists crashed two of the planes into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. The third plane crashed into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia. And the fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania as passengers fought back against the hijackers.  One of those passengers was a Christian man named Todd Beamer. A call from the plane's phone records how he recited the Lord's prayer and Psalm 23 before confronting the terrorists. The plane crashed, killing everyone on board but saving the hijackers intended target, perhaps the U.S. Capitol or the White House.  Beamer's last recorded words were “Are you guys ready? Let's roll.” It became a rallying cry in the wake of the attacks which left nearly 3,000 people dead. Psalm 23:4 says, “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, September 11th, 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).
