January 01 2026 Thursday Who Jesus Made You To Be / Week 07 All The Good Things We Have In Christ Jesus #findoutwhoyouare My Vision My vision is to teach the world Who They Are In Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior! To Teach them what the Bible says about them and who they have been made to be in the promises of God's Word. This changed my life years ago and completely transformed me from a person full of doubt, fear and unbelief to a strong confident Christian that knows I can do anything through Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. And I'm determined to teach the world what God has taught and commissioned me to teach and that is His Word.  That commission takes me to jails and detention centers weekly along with other open doors at many churches and ministries that are wanting to teach these important truths to the world. My podcast goes out 6 days a week to help the people I am ministering to grow in the truths that God has taught me for many years now. This podcast is free to all that want to listen and grow strong in who God has made them to be in Christ Jesus their Lord and Savior. My Prayers For The World Ephesians 1:15-23 NLT  'Ever since I first heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for God's people everywhere, I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms. Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself.'  Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT 'When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.'

The Sun of Righteousness in the Old Testament is also the Bright and Morning Star of the New Testament. Of course, that Star is our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ—the focus and the “star” of the entire Word of God. This concluding study of Malachi examines God's final words to Israel before a period of silence lasting 400 years.

“Unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” Jesus said those words in Matthew chapter five to His disciples and to a great multitude who had gathered there to hear His teaching. But what exactly does this particular teaching mean? How are we to exceed the righteousness of the Pharisees? Answers come your way next, as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons from the Sermon on the Mount.”

Do you have a guest book for visitors in your home? Or do you use one for special events like weddings and parties? God also keeps a “book of remembrance,” and we're included. Malachi tells us more about this book as he leads us into his important prophecy regarding the Day of the Lord and the Sun of Righteousness.

If you think the New Testament covenant has diminished or replaced the Old Testament law, Jesus would like to have a word with you. In Matthew chapter five, Jesus says very plainly that He did not come to abolish the Old Testament Law, but to fulfill it. Today, Ron takes an in-depth look at the Lord's view on the Law, and on righteousness, as he moves ahead in his series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons from the Sermon on the Mount.”  

As we enter 2026, we are invited to stop striving for life through effort or information and instead come to Christ for the refreshing that is already ours in salvation. Jesus calls the weary to take His easy yoke, to sow to the Spirit rather than the flesh, and to trust that righteousness, rest, and fruitfulness flow naturally from abiding in Him. When we allow Christ to refresh our souls, we become free to sow spiritual seed and experience the life of the Kingdom to the glory of God.

Rev. Scott York preaches on Zechariah 3:1-10 as a part of our sermon series, "Prophets Foretold."  Heaven's standard isn't being good enough - it requires perfect holiness. We all fall short, standing before God like Joshua in filthy garments while Satan accuses us. But God promises a divine solution through the Messiah. Jesus took our sin upon himself at the cross and clothed us in his perfect righteousness. We don't need to clean ourselves up first; we come to God as we are and let him transform us. True faith means complete surrender, trusting Jesus as Lord over every area of life.

This is a standalone sermon from our College Ministry Pastor, Zach Simmons. For more information about Northfield Community Church in Northfield, MN, go to our website - northfieldcc.org.

A series of messages on the Beatitudes ministered by Bishop Alexandre Rodrigues - Back to the Word Apostolic Ministry.Started on 05/24/2015 - Sunday - 9 AM.

Sundays at 8:30 & 10:30 AMWe are branded by the fire of God. We carry the fire of God to ignite our generation to burn for Jesus. Find us:www.fuquayrevival.comwww.facebook.com/cornerstonefuquayig: @cornerstonechurch.fv

Is it ever right to run? Is it ever not a cowardly thing to do? Yes! In fact, there are many times we are commanded to flee certain sins. In this message we see the necessity to run away from the rule of Absolom, and it was no cowardly thing to do, but a sign of complete allegiance to the true king.

Coming to perfection. Obtaining the glory of JESUS. The work of the ministry.

God's armor may not always feel comfortable, but it is necessary. It's not a buffet. It's irreducibly complex. Miss one piece and you're vulnerable—like an old VW bus with 12,000 parts and no brake fluid. One small omission can become a big disaster. We tend to trust our strengths too much. Blind spots are real. David, Peter, Abraham, Moses—giants with gaps. The armor is “of God.” That means the source and the standard are God, not me. I traced the cultural shift in authority: ancient (Scripture), modern (science), postmodern (self). We live in the age of “I feel,” where feelings often sit in the driver's seat. But Ephesians assumes an ancient posture: God speaks; Scripture is authority; I submit my emotions, not the other way around. With God's armor, we CAN withstand. Not easily, but truly (1 Corinthians 10:13; Romans 6). We celebrate forgiveness—and we should—but we should also celebrate that we are no longer slaves to sin. New covenant hearts want God. We get deceived when we trade deep joy for cheap thrills. Cheap is available. Deep takes patience and wisdom. Porn promises intensity and leaves people empty, ashamed, and alone. Shallow “community” at the bar gives the feeling of companionship without the truth that transforms us. Buying kids off with stuff substitutes for the hard and beautiful work of forming souls. When tempted, pause and ask, “What do I most want in ten years?” Pray. Phone a friend. Choose the long game. Then there's “the evil day.” Not Revelation horses. The personal season when the waves don't stop. Some in Scripture fell on their evil day; others stood—Joseph, Daniel, Shadrach/Meshach/Abednego, Paul, and Jesus. We come to the Table to be strengthened, so when that day comes, we can stand.

Sometimes we have a hard time understanding the reason behind God's justice. However, what it reveals is that we have a distorted view of sin, man, and God himself. Nahum is helpful for us here as we see a clearer picture of the character of God. As we wrap up this series may you come away with a greater appreciation of Christ!God's judgment:1) Why is it happening?2) What does it entail?Text: Nahum 3

Steve Klein -- Exceeding Their Righteousness

Steve Klein -- Pursuing Righteousness in a World of Wickedness

Evan Gaertner and Mike Yagley continue their conversation about Martin Luther’s response to Erasmus about the condition of the human will. This episode focuses on why Martin Luther thinks this conversation is important. Righteousness according to moral efforts will always fall short, and God desires that we find our righteousness by having faith in Him. This sort of righteousness must be revealed by God Himself and is not found by our own vain quests for holiness. Beer Break Griffin Claw’s Macchiato.

11.1 There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse,    and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit.2 And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him,    the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,    the Spirit of counsel and might,    the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.3 And his delight shall be in the fear of the Lord.He shall not judge by what his eyes see,    or decide disputes by what his ears hear,4 but with righteousness he shall judge the poor,    and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;and he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth,    and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked.5 Righteousness shall be the belt of his waist,    and faithfulness the belt of his loins.6 The wolf shall dwell with the lamb,    and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat,and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together;    and a little child shall lead them.7 The cow and the bear shall graze;    their young shall lie down together;    and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.8 The nursing child shall play over the hole of the cobra,    and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder's den.9 They shall not hurt or destroy    in all my holy mountain;for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord    as the waters cover the sea.10 In that day the root of Jesse, who shall stand as a signal for the peoples—of him shall the nations inquire, and his resting place shall be glorious.

My Prayers For The World Ephesians 1:15-23 NLT  'Ever since I first heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for God's people everywhere, I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms. Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself.'  Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT 'When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.'

A friend suggested a repriseof a sermon I gave years agoShe called it a rap, but I'm not that cool.It was a poem, at best, it read like a slam.I thought I'd give it another go.But history never repeats itselfIt often rhymes, they say.So I won't do a re-run, that would be lame,But I'll try something new– in the same vein –about this baby who's on the way.I'm no Andrea Gibson or Maya AngelouNo Shel Silverstein or Doctor SeussI'm a preacher whose preached Christmas, 24 years plus oneSo something a bit different seemed like something more fun.I could preach and pontificate, I've done that beforeI could rant, rail, and scare – you can get that next door.Maybe this will inspire both your heart and your headAnd keep you from dreaming of sugar plums and bed.The last time I did this –rhymed my way through Christmas Eve –My youngest – Max – had just been bornMy oldest – Jack – wasn't yet 3.So much has changed, since then, for sure18 years back, where'd you do Christmas Eve?Think of what's different in your life and our worldDid you celebrate something? Or have something to grieve?And how have things been in just the last year?More joys than sorrows, I pray.As we gather again, with our candles and carols,Are you counting your blessings? Or just surviving the day?Whatever it is, this time around,I hope God meets you in this placeThat's the message of Christmas: Immanuel – God with usAnd among us, come what may.And again, history doesn't repeat itselfBut they say it often rhymesThat seems to be true where faith is concernedAnd how God shows up in real timeSo let's see what rhymes this Christmas EveLet's turn back the clock to hearSomething old that could be new againIf we let God's love come near.The history of faith's peoplebegan in a garden long agoWhere God breathed life into dust and bonesBut God's children just couldn't say “no.”They refused to keep their hands offof a tree that promised liesThey heard God in the sound of the evening breezeAnd hid from angry eyesBut God's eyes of righteous judgementEnvisioned hope in equal portionThe Creator could see, beyond their Sin,A future of salvation.Soon there was that awful floodbut God saved the family of Noahand made a promise to love without endAnd sealed it with a bow.Then there was that Babel tower – Humanity tried to reach the divineTheir sins of Greed and Pride and PowerGot them scattered far and wideGenerations laterGod's Chosen Ones were slaves set freeLost and afraid, but guided,By clouds and fire their eyes could seeThey were passed over and sparedAnd they crossed through the Red SeaThey wandered the wilderness,And they followed God's leadAnd there were tablets and tabernaclesSerpents, wonders and signsAll proof of God's presenceThe same, but different, each timeBecause history doesn't repeat itself,But like God's grace, it rhymes.And across generations this history rhymedAs God's people mastered losing their wayThey counted their sins and hid from their GodLetting judgement and shame win the dayBut God was never into just counting our SinFor the sake of proving us wrongGod was all about leading with mercy and loveSo we'd make a world that sounds like a songA song of hope for those with noneA song of faith when fear has wonA song of peace when wars still rageA song of love that might turn the pageA song that rhymes, not repeats, in beautiful waysthat started anew with a SonWho was born so we'd see just what grace could dowhen we walk in the way of God's love Because it's not about you and it's not about meIt's all about “us” and about “them”It's about how – together – we're part of this planTo love one and all to the endBecause God may still show up in rainbows and cloudsIn signs, in miracles, in dreamsBut Jesus showed up to show God revealedin people like you and like meWe're alike and we're different in beautiful waysWe live and we move and we breatheWe walk common ground, we fear, long, and needBut still forget who are neighbors can beLike Jesus they don't have a safe place to landLike his was, their world isn't safeLike Jesus they rely on the kindness of strangersLike him they're dependent on graceHe's the gay kid that's bulliedHe knows about poor, single momsHe's the Dad with no papersHe hides underground from bombsHe shelters-in-place in the classroomHe takes cover beneath pewsHe's on both sides of our borderAnd he's exhausted by our newsHis nights aren't as silent As we pretend they should beHis future's not certainAnd he looks to you and to meIn Jesus God shows up, draws close, comes nearIn Christ, God comes down from on highIn Jesus we're called to do more of the same:To get off our cloud and no longer denyThat grace isn't just ours,it's ours to share at all costsThis Gospel's only good newsWhen it's shared with the lostAnd God knows what it is to be utterly lostThis boy showed up and got lost on the CrossHe died there for our sake, so that we could seeWhat “once and for all” actually means.If you need it today, then take it, for sureIf you're hungry then, please, have your fillBut let this grace find, free, and change youuntil your life overflows with goodwillGoodwill not just for men, but for women, tooAnd for everyone else in-between.Goodwill for the ones who are broken and hurtingFor the hopeless, the loveless, the mean.So, what might make Christmas rhyme once again?We can't repeat the coming of this ChildBut if God stepped into skin once way back thenGod can surely take root in our lives Because we've seen it time after time beforehistory rhymes it doesn't repeatSo let God show up this Christmas, once moreMaking us Love's voice, hands, and feet.Amen. Merry Christmas.

Why praise God?

Galatians 2:16 TPTwe know that no one receives God's perfect righteousness as a reward for keeping the law, but only by the faith of Jesus, the Messiah! His faithfulness has saved us, and we have received God's perfect righteousness. Now we know that God accepts no one by the keeping of religious laws!

This Christmas, we celebrate that the child born in Bethlehem is the King whose kingdom will never end and whose light has already dawned in the world. Jesus declared that this kingdom is here and at work within us, growing quietly like leaven as it fills our hearts. As we live in righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit, we allow His kingdom to spread through our lives and into the world around us.
