    An episode from Bible Believers Baptist Church (BBBC), a conservative, independent body of King James Bible believers located in Corpus Christi, Texas. Bible Believers Baptist Church's statement of Faith:A Bible Baptist is one who believes in a supernatural Bible, which tells of a supernatural Christ, Who had a supernatural birth, Who spoke supernatural words, Who performed supernatural miracles, Who lived a supernatural life, Who died a supernatural death, Who rose in supernatural splendor, and Who will one day return in supernatural glory to establish a supernatural kingdom on earth. What BBBC believes about Creation: “We believe in the Genesis account of creation, and that it is to be accepted literally, and not allegorically or figuratively; that man was created directly in God's own image and after His own likeness; that man's creation was not a matter of evolution or evolutionary change of species or development through interminable periods of time from lower to higher forms; and that all animal and vegetable life was made directly and God's established law was that they should bring forth only “after their kind.”What BBBC believes about Salvation: “We believe in God's electing grace; that the blessings of salvation are made free to all by the gospel; that it is the immediate duty of all to accept them by a cordial, penitent and an obedient faith; and nothing prevents the salvation of the greatest sinner on earth but his own inherent depravity and voluntary rejection of the gospel; which rejection involves him in an aggravated condemnation.  We believe in salvation by grace through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on Calvary plus nothing.  Therefore, we do not believe that works are necessary for salvation, although once a person is saved, he should be careful to maintain good works.”What BBBC believes about Repentance and Faith: “We believe that Repentance and Faith are solemn obligations, and also inseparable graces, wrought in our souls by the quickening Spirit of God, thereby; being deeply convicted of our guilt, danger, helplessness, and of the way of salvation by Christ, we turn to God with unfeigned contrition, confession, and supplication for mercy; at the same time heartily receiving the Lord Jesus Christ and openly confessing Him as our only and all-sufficient Savior.” A message from BBBC to you: “If you are looking for a church in the Corpus Christi Texas area that preaches the Truth from God's Word, reach out to us at any time.

    Tony and Bre Wood, hosts of the Date Night with the Woods podcast, join E.Z., Mark, and Oscar to discuss their new book on marriage and family. The idea for the book came after a publisher, inspired by their podcast, suggested they put their insights into writing. Writing the book deepened their understanding of marriage's sanctifying nature, allowing them to laugh at past challenges and reflect on how God uses marriage for holiness rather than just happiness.The guys, along with Tony and Bre, talk about marriage as a tool for sanctification, fulfilling God's call for companionship and mutual growth. They encourage couples to view marriage as a lifelong friendship, prioritizing the needs of their spouse and embracing selflessness over personal gain. Bre highlights the importance of discipleship for wives, urging women to seek guidance from older, godly mentors. Feminist ideals often conflict with biblical roles, creating competition instead of support within marriages. Bre and Tony share how scripture and discipleship transformed their own relationship.Selfishness undermines marriage. Couples are encouraged to say something encouraging to their spouse daily, celebrate small victories, and build a framework for forgiveness. Intentionality is key—valuable relationships require work, prayer, and scripture. Tony shared a personal practice of writing thoughts about his day on his arm to share with Bre, illustrating the importance of thoughtfulness. They also stress the importance of conflict resolution, addressing issues like finances or resentment constructively and without delay.For wives who feel their efforts won't matter unless their husband changes, Bre advises looking to Christ's example of love. Husbands should model sacrificial leadership, laying down their lives in small ways to reflect Christ's love. Obedience to God is central. Repentance, confession, and grace can heal even deeply strained marriages, with the gospel at the center of reconciliation. Tony and Bre highlight how marriage impacts parenting and family life. A gospel-centered marriage provides a solid foundation for raising children. Bre shares how modeling forgiveness and scriptural authority has positively shaped their children's understanding of family and faith. Apologizing to children when wrong demonstrates what it means to live with God at the center.God's grace will sustain through weaknesses, and the guys, along with Tony and Bre, encourage couples to lean on the gospel, community, and Christ's transformative power in every aspect of marriage and family life.Send us a textThanks for listening!

From the very beginning, God had a plan for our salvation, which culminated in the sacrificial love of Jesus Christ. The redemptive power of God's love is evident in His foresight, as He knew humanity would need a Savior. Every aspect of Scripture points to Jesus' life, death, and resurrection, the ultimate act of divine love.As we conclude, we celebrate God's unconditional, unchanging love that surrounds us each day, reminding us of His constant presence in our lives.

    Welcome back to the kitchen table. The constant grumbling from our kids—whether it's about dinner, chores, or not getting their way—can be exhausting. Complaining wears us down, but more importantly, it reveals a deeper issue.Bethany walks us through Philippians 2:14, showing that complaining isn't just about words—it's a heart posture that rejects what's been given and dishonors God's design. “Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure.”So where do we start? With prayer. Repentance begins with us. Pray for your child's heart to soften, for gratitude to take root, and for God to shape us as we lead them with humility.Connect with Bethany hereFollow her on Instagram @bethanykimseyStop feeling defeated in your motherhood.

    Forgiveness is an essential part of the healing journey, not because it erases the past but because it frees us from being trapped in it. True healing isn't about forgetting what happened or pretending pain never existed—it's about acknowledging the hurt while choosing to move forward with strength and grace. Forgiveness, whether for ourselves or others, allows us to release the weight of resentment and step into a life filled with more peace, joy, and emotional freedom. It is an act of courage, a gift we give not only to those who have wronged us but to ourselves, creating space for growth, love, and new beginnings.In this episode, we explore the transformative power of forgiveness—both self-forgiveness and forgiving others—and how it shapes long-term happiness and joy with Rev. Lizzie McManus Dail.  Rev. Lizzie has lived all over the world with her boots now rooted in Austin, Texas, where she is living her dream as the founder of Jubilee Episcopal Church. Lizzie is passionate about the evangelism of a God who makes each of us for joy, which is why you might see her doing silly dances and talking about church history on Instagram and TikTok with her 90K followers. As a graduate of Mt. Holyoke College, Lizzie brought a passion for intersectional feminism and queer theology to her studies at Duke Divinity School and Seminary of the Southwest. It was her time in both Massachusetts and North Carolina that brought her into the Episcopal church, where she was ordained in 2020. While grateful for her academic formation, she still swears most things she learned about being a priest she learned from 5 plus years of working in the service industry and access to the arts in her public high school.  Tune in!What You Will Learn:[00:01] Intro and a bit about our guest today, Rev.

    The reason why Psalm 51 is historically famous and frequently taught is because it is ALWAYS relevant. Who among us would dare to proclaim that they never sin? None of us live perfectly as Jesus-followers. We cannot truthfully say that every thought, word, and deed that flows from our lives meets the holy standard of sinless perfection. Though we have been made new in Christ, our flesh still rages against the Spirit of God, and there are times when we cooperate with those impulses that were common in our lives before we came to Jesus. Psalm 51 reveals what we need to do when we fail God and sin. David's words must become ours as we move from sin into repentance, and from repentance into renewed fellowship with our merciful Savior. Psalm 51 lends hope to those who have sinned.

    According to Jesus, everything that comes with eternal life—power over sin, a renewed heart, a changed life—comes through repentance. So what is going on with professing Christians who do not seem to have that kind of spiritual life? Is it possible that they have nothing more than a superficial repentance that leaves them unchanged and still dead in their sins?   Resources we mentioned: The Walk of Repentance (Bible Study) By Steve Gallagher

    In the first week of our Abide series, we explore what it means to have true fellowship with Christ and walk in the light. Beginning with 1 John 1:1-10, we see the foundational truth that Jesus is the eternal Word, the one who was from the beginning (John 1:1-5, Genesis 1:1). The call to abide in Him is a call to repentance, as Martin Luther famously said, "When our Lord and Master Jesus Christ said 'Repent,' he meant that the entire life of believers should be repentance." Join us as we dive into the beauty of confession, forgiveness, and the joy of abiding in Christ.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

    Along with external resistance that tried to discourage, deceive, and distract, Nehemiah was also dealing with internal resistance that threatened to divide. Self-orientation among God's people leads to division. When this happened to Nehemiah's team, he experienced righteous anger and rebuked those who were doing wrong, leading to repentance and restoration. Nehemiah had the credibility to do this because he took up responsibility, laid down his rights, and laid down his resources.

    There is parable that Jesus says is the key to understanding all parables. In this message, Pastor Jamie Nunnally helps us understand this important teaching of Jesus. Jesus didn't use parables to make everything clear, but to make everyone think.Questions to ask when reading a parable:1. Who does each character represent?2. Where is the surprise twist in the story?3. What are the kingdom lessons behind each parable? Today's parable: The Parable of the SowerMark 4:3-9 NLTA sower is someone who plants seed. Mark 4:14 - 20 Questions to ask:Who is being represented in this parable?The farmer is anyone sharing the seed—the truth of God's word.  The seed on the footpath represents people with hard hearts. Like rain on a water-proof jacket, it never soaks in. Why?Offense – holding unforgiveness in your heart makes you suspicious of everyone.Hurt – an unhealed heart will grow hard to protect itself from more hurt.Pride – the prideful heart isn't open to correction because they already think they know everything. Rebellion – the more you choose intentional disobedience, the harder it becomes to obey.Hebrews 3:7b-8a  Satan wants to steal God's truth from you, just like birds want your food. The seed on the rocky soil represents people with shallow hearts. Problems and persecution come and they wither rather quickly. John 16:33 MSG The seed among thorns represents those who let worry, wealth and wanting overtake the growing fruit. 1 John 2:16-17 NIV  The seed on good soil represents those who hear and accept—they repent, apply the word and live in the ways of the kingdom.James 1:23-24 NLT What is the twist in the story?The farmer threw seed everywhere. That was very inefficient farming, but it demonstrates the heart with which God shares Himself.  What are the kingdom lessons in the story?1. God's word is for everyone.He sows seed everywhere.Titus 2:11 You've been given the antidote to this world's sickness—don't keep it to yourself.Don't reject God on someone else's behalf. Don't decide for them—just sow seed. 2. It's the condition of our heart that determines if we receive from God.2 Peter 1:3 This is why Proverbs 4:23 says keep/guard your heart will all diligence and above all else. Safeguard your soil! 3. Our application of God's instruction determines the amount of fruit in our lives.James 2:14 Real faith is evidenced by action. What determines 30, 60, or 100 fold? The quality of the soil. Your production is based on your hearing and accepting—your obedience. The degree to which you obey is the degree to which you'll produce a harvest of spiritual fruit.    James 1:21 NLT ...Humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls.What type of soil are you?

This week, we shift our focus from Joseph to Judah—one of Jacob's twelve sons—and discover how his story is a reflection of our own. Judah's journey is filled with mistakes, deception, and broken relationships, yet through ownership and repentance, his legacy becomes part of God's redemptive plan. No matter how big our mistakes, God does not require perfection—only a willingness to recognize, own, and turn from our sin. If you're struggling with past mistakes or at a crossroads in life, this message is for you.

    PSALM 38 A psalm of David. A petition. 1 LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath. 2 Your arrows have pierced me, and your hand has come down on me. 3 Because of your wrath there is no health in my body; there is no soundness in my bones because of my sin. 4 My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear. 5 My wounds fester and are loathsome because of my sinful folly. 6 I am bowed down and brought very low; all day long I go about mourning. 7 My back is filled with searing pain; there is no health in my body. 8 I am feeble and utterly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart. 9 All my longings lie open before you, Lord; my sighing is not hidden from you. 10 My heart pounds, my strength fails me; even the light has gone from my eyes. 11 My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds; my neighbors stay far away. 12 Those who want to kill me set their traps, those who would harm me talk of my ruin; all day long they scheme and lie. 13 I am like the deaf, who cannot hear, like the mute, who cannot speak; 14 I have become like one who does not hear, whose mouth can offer no reply. 15 LORD, I wait for you; you will answer, Lord my God. 16 For I said, “Do not let them gloat or exalt themselves over me when my feet slip.” 17 For I am about to fall, and my pain is ever with me. 18 I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin. 19 Many have become my enemies without cause ; those who hate me without reason are numerous. 20 Those who repay my good with evil lodge accusations against me, though I seek only to do what is good. 21 LORD, do not forsake me; do not be far from me, my God. 22 Come quickly to help me, my Lord and my Savior. FROM THE LESSON The penitential psalms : These are the psalms of repentance. There are seven of them in the Psalter: Psalm 6, 32, 38, 51, 102, 130, 143 Four characteristics of repentance: A - Ask for His correction with mercy (verse 1) B - Bring it all to Him (verse 9) C - Convicted by your sin (verse 18) D - Desperate for His help (verses 21-22) Four areas David brought to the Lord: 1 the iniquity caused by his sin 2 the ill effects caused by his sin 3 the isolation felt because of his sin 4 the injustice experienced because of his sin A person of repentance: "I don't want to be known as a person who has made a difference,  I want to be known as a person who has been made different." DISCUSSION QUESTIONS ICE BREAKER: Do you have a testimony or story from your life about repentance that you can share with the group? 1. How do you feel about the prayer, "Correct me, Lord"? Read verse 1 again. David is not asking the Lord to not correct him, he is asking the Lord to correct him with mercy. Discuss the difference with your group. 2 The sermon highlighted all of the different areas that David brought to the Lord (each one begins with "my" - ie. my sin, my guilt, my heart). Read verse 9 again. David is bringing "all" of these areas to the Lord. How does his example encourage you? 3 Read verse 18. We must not only confess our sin with our mouths, we must also be convicted by our sin in our hearts. Discuss the importance of both of these responses to our sin.  4 Read verses 21 and 22. What do you hear in David's voice? Do you sense his desperation and his urgency? When are the times when you need the Lord's help most in your life?

    In this sermon by Chris Romig, the letter to the church in Thyatira from Revelation is examined. Despite Thyatira being the least prominent city of the seven addressed, it receives the longest letter due to serious concerns about false teachings led by a figure referred to as "Jezebel," promoting immorality and idolatry. Chirs commends the church's love and faith but warns against their tolerance of these destructive doctrines. He explains the historical context of Thyatira, where Christians were pressured to conform to pagan practices due to economic incentives tied to trade guilds. Chris draws connections to contemporary Christianity, highlighting the dangers of compromising biblical truths under the guise of love. He underscores that true biblical love does not tolerate sin but rejoices in truth. The sermon warns against substituting God's revelation with so-called enlightened teachings and stresses the importance of upholding scriptural integrity. Chris calls the congregation to balance love with discernment, encouraging them to maintain doctrinal purity and resist cultural compromises. The sermon concludes with a call to heed the warnings in the letter to Thyatira, to protect the church's integrity, and to trust in God's promise of ultimate redemption and glory, strengthened by prayer for guidance and wisdom.

    This morning, Keith Pond introduces a sermon series that will be scattered throughout the year as he has opportunity to preach. Francis Schaeffer asked a question that became the title of one of his books: in light of the truth of the Gospel, "How Should We Then Live?" Jesus, in the Sermon on the Mount, begins with great encouragement and exhortation to his disciples regarding what living such a life should look like. Before we delve into the Beatitudes, the background to the Sermon on the Mount. The disciples and the crowds that followed him heard the same message from John the Baptist and Jesus: "Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." What does that mean for us as saints 2000 years later?
