Suffering can do one of two things: break us or break us open.Beginning with Frederick Buechner's unforgettable image, John Ortberg explores Psalm 110 and one of the deepest ways Christians have read the Psalms: seeing the story of Jesus in their suffering, longing, and hope.Drawing from C.S. Lewis, Plato, and the mysterious biblical figure Melchizedek, John looks at how Jesus brings together two ancient hopes: the victorious king and the suffering servant.Jesus doesn't overcome suffering by avoiding it.He enters it.And because the story ends in resurrection, suffering doesn't have to get the final word.The difference between being broken and broken open is hope.In this episode: Psalm 110 • suffering • hope • Jesus • C.S. Lewis • Melchizedek • resurrection#Psalm110 #JohnOrtberg #Suffering #Hope #Jesus #CSLewis #Psalms
Send us Fan MailWhy are we so attracted to chaos, drama, and toxic relationships—even when we say we desperately want peace?In this episode of the 1LoveHTX Podcast, Daniel and Duffy take a brutally honest, funny, and sometimes uncomfortable look at why people are attracted to toxic men and women, unhealthy relationships, emotional chaos, and the “bad boy/bad girl” lifestyle. Why can the safe, healthy, good man or good woman sometimes feel… well, boring?Is culture actually teaching us to crave dysfunction?We talk about toxic relationships, relationship patterns, attraction, dating, culture, emotional baggage, and how chaos can become so familiar that peace starts feeling uncomfortable. But then we introduce a character that doesn't get nearly enough attention:The Righteous Man or Woman.Not someone who thinks they're better than everyone else. Not perfect. Not judgmental.We're talking about a person with character, morality, integrity, conviction, healthy boundaries, and a foundation rooted in God.Why do we assume people with strong values and a relationship with God have to be boring?Are righteous men and women actually out there?Where do you find them?And perhaps the harder question: Are WE becoming the kind of person we're looking for?Because before we diagnose everyone else's dumpster fire, maybe we should check our own.
Lyrics Below “A Righteous Man's Blues” is a soulful Gospel-blues song built on a driving Southern blues shuffle with an early-1970s Latin-rock influence. Warm sustained electric-guitar lines answer the vocals with expressive bends and melodic blues-Latin phrasing, while rolling gospel piano and Hammond B3 bring a rich church-rooted foundation. A melodic bass line, natural drums, congas, timbales, cowbell, and hand percussion give the track a deep rhythmic pulse. Female gospel-soul backing vocals answer the lead in call-and-response and expand into fuller harmonies during the chorus. The song's message is one of perseverance, faith, and complete trust in Jesus through confusion, adversity, spiritual opposition, and life's storms. [Verse 1] Everywhere I'm looking, Lord, I just can't find my way Everywhere I'm looking, Lord, I just can't find my way So I'm gonna put my trust in every word You say [Verse 2] Storm clouds are brewing, heavy rain is gonna fall Oh, storm clouds are brewing, heavy rain is gonna fall Still I'm gonna trust You, Lord, through it all [Verse 3] The enemy surrounds me, and I'm feeling lost Oh, the enemy surrounds me, and I'm feeling lost I'm gonna put my trust in Jesus and the power of the cross [Verse 4] Blessed is the man who walks in righteousness Oh, blessed is the man who walks in righteousness He's gonna see the goodness of the Lord The goodness of the Lord! [Verse 5] Woke up this morning, couldn't shake these blues Woke up this morning, Lord, couldn't shake these blues Then I remembered Jesus paid my dues [Chorus] Come to the Master, He's gonna save your soul Oh, come to the Master, He's gonna save your soul He's gonna lift your burden and make you whole [Chorus] Come to the Master, He's gonna save your soul Oh, come to the Master, He's gonna save your soul He's gonna lift your burden and make you whole [Outro] Come to the Master, He's gonna save your soul Oh, come to the Master, He's gonna save your soul He's gonna lift your burden and make you whole Make you whole Make you whole @ 2016 Shiloh Worship Music

(This podcast was previously published on August 21, 2021) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... Noah was a righteous man, so when God destroyed this present earth by waters covering the earth, God made a way to save the life of Noah and His generations. God later raised up another righteous man: Abram, renamed Abraham by God. Genesis 12 (God speaks to Abram) 1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. 4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; Keeping the Word spoken by God before us is the only thing that matters. As we do that, we follow God. In the coming Podcasts and writings, we will focus on what God said.
Our chapter 57 in Isaiah commences with the above words – but then adds, “and no one lays it to heart; devout men are taken away … “ But then comes a very meaningful statement – which may well become really meaningful for us in the years ahead, it may even be in the months ahead, “for the righteous man (& woman) is taken away from calamity; he enters into peace; they rest in their beds who walk in their uprightness” Coming to v. 15, more words jump out to our minds, “… thus says the One who is high and lifted up. Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: ‘I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite.” In contrast, the chapter ends, “But the wicked are like the tossing sea; for it cannot be quiet, and its waters toss up mire and dirt. ‘There is no peace,' says my God, ‘for the wicked.” It is “my God”, our God who counts us, as righteous in his eyes. As we become more and more aware of the true picture of our present existence – and conscious of the increasing traumas in many parts of the world (and threatening or including ours) how wonderful it will be to be “taken away” – in whatever way God chooses, from the calamity that is starting to surround us. If it should be that “the righteous man perishes” – it is God who “lays it to heart”, such move into God's time – which is instantaneous, there is no awareness of passing time at all. Today's 21st chapter of Revelation has a wondrous description of the ultimate time to come – when “the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God, He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” Let us, from now on, live with this divinely given vision flooding ever more readily into our hearts every day.
Send us Fan MailAs we dive further into Psalm 37, we see that God has much to say about the righteous man. Despite what this life brings, a righteous man's needs are met; his household is taken care of and provided for. He is also generous and giving and this is in stark contrast to evildoers and the wicked. Finally, the steps of a righteous man are upheld by the Lord. God is not going to allow him to stumble or stay down because He watches out for him. A righteous man serves and obeys his God. Therefore, God protects him and keeps his life. Psalm 37 has many promises and this episode outlines several of them. We can take heart. God is with us.

Betrayal hurts, especially when it comes from someone who is loved. A first-century carpenter faced what appeared to be betrayal but chose mercy over retribution. Though he later learned that there had been no betrayal, he is used by the gospel writer Matthew to present a picture of genuine righteousness. This sermon will explore Matthew's teachings on righteousness and how Joseph sets the standard for how God's people are to treat others.A sermon given by Greg Chandler on May 31, 2026.

We often feel the desire to be better than others, and this can cause us to feel happy when we see others stumble. But God's commandment is clear—everyone is made in the image of God, and we must not rejoice in the suffering of others. God requires us, as His children, to have His heart. The Lord calls us to change ourselves internally to become more righteous, but sometimes we get distracted from this inner change and seek external ways to improve ourselves. This distracts us from the true purpose of our lives. It is important to remember that what we do in the world is still connected to our internal change. Our outward actions affect the blessings that are allowed into our own homes. By controlling what we think and say about others and focusing on our own hearts, we can grow closer to the Heart of the Lord, who searches for souls to join Him.

Morning Worship Sermon with Rev. Bud Hance Scripture reference Genesis 6:5-9] 5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. 7 So the Lord said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. 9 This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.
Scripture:Jonah 1:2 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me. 3 But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.Jonah 3:6 For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. 7 And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water: 8 but let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. 9 Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?, King James VersionTo

Earl Newswanger - Sunday Morning Main
In this sermon Pastor Michelle discusses how Joseph ultimately chose the most loving option over his original plan. In the same way, in living a faithful life we are called to choose the most loving options rather than those that follow a strict rigidity. We are called to live with a Christ-like love that while demanding, is not impossible because of God's help.

Secondly, that yet the Lord will protect and deliver those who trust in Him. Thirdly, what that Faith is and what that Trust is to which God has promised this protection in the time of a Plague. Fourthly, I would answer some objections, questions, or cases of conscience.

Christians ought not to drop like other men in the day of trouble. A wicked man's boldness, and a Christian's cowardliness, in times of affliction, are alike ungrounded and uncomely. Why should thy heart, Christian, despond and sink at this rate, upon the prospect of approaching troubles? Are there not safe and comfortable chambers taken up, and provided for thee against that day? Is not the name of the Lord a strong tower, into which thou mayest run and be safe?
