Is God bringing revival to Iran? And what does honoring the Sabbath actually look like for Christians today?   In this episode of LIVE FREE, Pastors Josh Howerton, Carlos Erazo, and Paul Cunningham tackle two powerful topics shaping faith and culture right now. First, they unpack Luke 6 and the biblical meaning of the Sabbath—why God built rhythms of work and rest into creation, how the Pharisees turned the Sabbath into legalistic religion, and why Jesus declaring Himself the “Lord of the Sabbath” changes how believers understand rest today. The conversation explores how Sabbath is not just about stopping work, but about restoring the body, renewing the soul, and remembering that our identity is rooted in Christ—not productivity.   Then the episode shifts to an eye-opening conversation with Iranian-born pastor David Nasser about what's really happening in Iran. Nasser shares his incredible story of escaping the Iranian Revolution, how his family encountered the gospel in America, and why many believe the underground church in Iran is one of the fastest-growing movements of Christianity in the world. The team discusses reports of Muslims encountering Jesus in dreams, the spiritual implications of current geopolitical events, and how the gospel continues advancing even in some of the most restricted places on earth.   From honoring the Sabbath to the rise of the Iranian church, this episode explores how God is still moving powerfully across the world—and how believers today can join His mission.   In this episode, you'll learn: • What the Bible actually teaches about the Sabbath • Why Jesus called Himself the “Lord of the Sabbath” • The difference between legalistic religion and true spiritual rest • Why the church often grows fastest under persecution • What's really happening with the underground church in Iran • How Christians can pray and participate in God's global mission  

When lifelong churchgoers Sean Walsh and Don Roth dug deep into Scripture, original languages, and biblical chronology, they became convinced that much of mainstream Christianity rests on three major errors. In this episode, they join Robert Plank to unpack their book The Three Pillars of False Doctrine and explain why they believe the traditional Friday death / Sunday resurrection, the popular form of the Trinity doctrine, and the modern idea of church as a building or organization all fail the test of the Bible itself. Drawing on Don's work creating a day‑by‑day Biblical calendar from Genesis forward and Sean's “Unlock the Word” ministry, they walk through key passages on the Sabbath, the Godhead, and church, and show how translation choices and tradition have shaped what most believers assume is “just Christianity.” Rather than asking anyone to join a new denomination, Sean and Don challenge listeners to be Bereans checking every sermon, creed, and holiday against Scripture. They discuss why Christ's “three days and three nights” matters, how Ezekiel and Acts are commonly misread to support Sunday worship, and why knowing who the God of the Old Testament is changes how you read the entire Bible. If you've ever felt that certain doctrines didn't quite add up, this conversation and the resources at UnlockTheWord.com and BiblicalCalendarProof.com invite you to put your traditions on the table and let the Bible speak for itself. Quotes: “If your timeline for Christ doesn't fit three days and three nights, it's not the Scripture that needs to move it's your doctrine.” Don Roth “Church isn't a business or a building; Ecclesia is the people God has called out. If you think ‘church' is a place you go on Sunday, you've already missed the context.” Sean Walsh “When you finally read the Bible without defending your denomination, you discover how many ‘non‑negotiable' doctrines collapse under the weight of Scripture.” Sean Walsh Resources: Unlock the World THE 3 PILLARS OF FALSE DOCTRINE

Matt continues our four-part series about the practice of sabbath, which Jesus called, “rest for your souls.” What does it mean to stop, rest, delight, and worship? "The Practice of Sabbath" is part of "Practicing the Way."

Kingdom Logic // Sabbath 101 | Joshua newton

This is perhaps one of the most important, most blunt, most twisted, and certainly – now, particularly – one of most utterly relevant Torah parashot in the Book. Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a provocative two-part look at parsha Ki Tisa, Exodus 30:11 through chapter 34. The Erev Shabbat reading starts with the command to take a head count, and how, and then continues through the infamous betrayal of the ‘golden calf’ — first of many, as it turns out — and the aftermath: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/SSM-3-6-Ki-Tisa-teaching-podcast-xx.mp3 How often do we hear about the idolatry of that ‘Golden Calf’? And the smug dismissal that it was so long ago, but the ‘Church’ is SO much better than that – now. Really? Maybe there’s a lot more to it. And THAT would be why the Whore Church ignores all of that. Ki Tisa: “Why did Moses SMASH the first Tablets?” https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/CooH-3-7-Ki-Tisa-WHY-did-Moses-Smash-the-1st-Tablets-podcast-xxxx.mp3 The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:

Jesus Followers Should Fear, Respect, and Praise God's Power, Sovereignty, and Holiness; but in Life's Trials They Should “fear not for I {Jesus} am with you always” MESSAGE SUMMARY: You should fear, respect, and praise God's power, Sovereignty, and Holiness; but, as a Jesus Follower, you should “fear not” in life's trials and tribulations or at your time of judgment. As David's praise tells us in Psalms 103:13: “As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him.”. David models again and again, in Psalms, how we should praise God. For example, in Psalms 146, David says: "Put not your trust in Princes; Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, Oh my soul!". When we are wondering how to praise the Lord, we can read one of David's Psalms to God like David's praises to the Lord in Psalms 112:1-2: “Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in his commandments! His offspring will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.". Also, we learn in Proverbs 1:7, the “fear of the Lord” and “wisdom” are closely linked: “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.". These verses from the Old Testament point to the fear, respect, and praise that God warrants and demands from His power, sovereignty, and Holiness. On the other hand, as we see when the Apostle John quotes Jesus from Revelation 1:17-18, when Jesus, in all His power and Glory, reassures us of God's Grace and His plan for working out the Salvation and Eternal Life for all those that have accepted Jesus as their Savior: “When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, ‘Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.'”.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, Sabbath rest is truly an unbelievable gift! Thank you that there is nothing I can do to earn your love; it comes without any strings attached. As I close my eyes for these few minutes before you, all I can say is, thank you! In Jesus' name, amen.  Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 133). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM A CHILD OF GOD. Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His Name, He gave the right to become children of God-- children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.

In Mark 3:1–12, Jesus confronts the religious leaders over what truly honors God. When a man with a shriveled hand enters the synagogue, the Pharisees watch closely to see if Jesus will heal on the Sabbath—not because they care about the man, but because they want a reason to accuse Him. Jesus exposes their hardened hearts and shows that God's commands were never meant to restrict life but to restore it.This passage reveals a sobering truth: religious systems can sometimes care more about protecting rules than loving people. But Jesus refuses to let compassion be silenced. With a word, He restores the man's hand and reveals the heart of God—one that values mercy over legalism and life over control.At the same time, Mark shows us two very different responses to Jesus. While the religious leaders begin plotting His destruction, crowds from every direction gather to experience His healing power.In this message, we explore what happens when the kingdom of God confronts hardened hearts, why Jesus challenges the misuse of religious rules, and how His authority reveals the true purpose of God's law: restoring people to life.// SCRIPTURE REFERENCES //Mark 3:1-12More info at the Bible Project: https://bibleproject.com/videos/mark/ // TAKE A NEXT STEP //Want to visit or discover more about Columbia View?

2026-03-08 Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath by Pastor Chris BergScripture: Mark 2:23 - 3:623 One Sabbath he was going through the grainfields, and as they made their way, his disciples began to pluck heads of grain. 24 And the Pharisees were saying to him, “Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?” 25 And he said to them, “Have you never read what David did, when he was in need and was hungry, he and those who were with him: 26 how he entered the house of God, in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those who were with him?” 27 And he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. 28 So the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.”3 Again he entered the synagogue, and a man was there with a withered hand. 2 And they watched Jesus, to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse him. 3 And he said to the man with the withered hand, “Come here.” 4 And he said to them, “Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to kill?” But they were silent. 5 And he looked around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was restored. 6 The Pharisees went out and immediately held counsel with the Herodians against him, how to destroy him.Mandeville Bible Church   "Where God's Word is Our Foundation"https://www.mandevillebiblechurch.org/Come and see that God's Word is alive and at work right here in Mandeville.. and throughout the world!All are welcome. 217 Carroll Street, Mandeville, LA 70448Office Phone: (985) 626-3114Sunday Service: 9:30AMAdult Sunday School: 10:45-11:30AMNursery and Children's church available.

By Mark Welch - Why is the Passover season so meaningful? Why has it carried such power for God's people for generations? More than a story from the past, Passover reveals deeper truths about freedom, redemption, and God's plan for His children. When we begin to explore the many layers within this sacred season, we

By Gary Petty - Looking at many ways we can be deceived.

By Tony Stith - Since the weekly Sabbath was instituted at creation, people have either rejected it or turned it into an increasingly burdensome system of religious rules and regulations. During His earthly ministry, Jesus Christ demonstrated the true purpose of the Sabbath - the blessing it was meant to be for

By Austin Chance - Reconciliation is a process made up of both forgiveness and repentance. It is explicitly commanded by God to forgive others if we want our sins forgiven. Likewise we need to repent in order to receive the remission of our sins. Once both of those are complete we can then reconcile our relationship

By Fred Nance - Few people understand who Jesus Christ really was. They do not understand where He came from, and what He was/is doing, and what He will do in the future. Let us look at what the Bible has to say about His life and work.

By John Elliott - What would you change if you could? God promotes good change, Personal change. We must include God as we make changes in our lives.

By Thomas Randle - The epistle of James was labeled an epistle of straw by Martin Luther. What led him to make such an extraordinary statement? Does the epistle of James contradict what the apostle Paul wrote in Romans and Galatians or does it complement them? When James said that “faith without works is dead” was he

By Rudolph Rangel III - Even Jesus, after resisting temptation and enduring spiritual battle, was ministered to by angels, showing that weariness is not a sign of weakness but part of the journey. God provides help for the weary—through His Spirit and His angels—so we are never running this race alone.

Join us this week on “Honest to God” as we launch the Sabbath Reset Challenge and ask the bold question: can you unplug for 24 hours this Lent? In a world of constant notifications, endless scrolling, and digital noise, we explore what it means to handle technology as Catholics—with discipline, intention, and freedom. We talk about how our phones can either distract us from God or become tools ordered toward truth and connection, and why reclaiming a true Sabbath rest might be one of the most powerful Lenten sacrifices we can make. This episode invites you to step away from the screen, quiet your heart, and rediscover the peace that comes from putting Christ—not your feed—at the center of your life.Follow us on Instagram:@honesttogod_quest Check out our parent network:https://thequestatlanta.com/honesttogodListen On Apple:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/honest-to-god/id1644393955Listen On Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3rVcw6wX03ezNwowTeE6wf?si=34c6ee021e2347fe

Erik Jones discusses Luke 13:16—“Hypocrite! Does not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or donkey from the stall, and lead it away to water it? So ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound—think of it—for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath?”

Stoop Theology S1 Episode 5: Why should Christians prioritize slowing down in a busy world?   How do you actually find the rhythm to start slowing down in a world that never stops? Is the practice of rest a command you have to follow, or a gift you get to receive? In this episode of Stoop Theology, we explore how slowing down can help you overcome "inattentional blindness," why your value isn't tied to your production, and talk practically about how to start your own Sabbath practice. If you're feeling under the spell of the hustle and want to hear God's voice again, this conversation is for you.   Guest Drew Hyun  Stoop Theology is a series rooted in honest, thoughtful conversations about real-life questions. From faith and doubt to culture, justice, relationships, and everyday struggles, we explore what it looks like to wrestle with life and belief—like neighbors talking it out on a stoop. Whether you're deeply rooted in faith, skeptical, or somewhere in between, Stoop Theology is a space for meaningful dialogue about questions that matter.   Hosted by Jordan Rice

Now that we've completed the book of Leviticus, we're jumping into the book of Hebrews, a book that emphasizes Jesus' role as a better great high priest and a better Sabbath. While the writer of the book of Hebrews remains unknown, we do know that this writer can quote the Old Testament Scriptures at length and is very polished in his ability to write and to reason. This letter is unique, as it has no greeting and seems to be directed specifically toward Jewish believers. In today's passage, the writer argues that Jesus is greater than angels, greater than Moses, a better rest than the Sabbath day, and a better high priest.

By Jorge De Campos - Paul explains that at the time of the end, in which we now live, many will depart from the faith through false Satan influnced deceptions. We need to meditate and focus on Godliness, be an example and take heed of ourselves.

Send a textWhat if the quickest path from stress to peace is already in your body and your spirit? We open with the breath, why shallow chest breathing keeps you stuck in survival mode, and how diaphragmatic, nasal breaths boost nitric oxide, widen vessels, and deliver oxygen to the mitochondria that power your energy. Then we connect the science to worship: long, sustained exhales and diaphragmatic support mimic breathwork, while singing with others sparks oxytocin and a sense of safety that can quiet cortisol. It's a whole-body reset hiding in plain sight.We get candid about overload, from year-end hustle to the invisible weight of always saying yes. One five-minute moment of guided breathing dropped blood pressure from 133/101 to 115/83—proof that physiology responds when given space. We also name the hard truth most helpers avoid: every yes comes at a cost. Boundaries are not cold; they're caring. The sacred no is usually just “not today,” and it protects the joy of serving, so it stays a gift rather than a grind. Sabbath is a design pattern for modern nervous systems.You'll leave with simple, actionable tools: deep nasal breathing with longer exhales, worship as a nervous system practice, asking a friend to co-regulate through prayer and breath, and a small menu of quiet resets - tea, a psalm, a walk, a moment of beauty. We talk about honoring limits in small communities, inviting help, and listening to your body's cues before burnout steals your clarity. Peace is not the absence of chaos; it's the Presence that steadies you right in the middle of it.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with someone who needs a reset, and leave a review so more women can find soul-deep calm and spirit-led strength.Support the showConnect with Melissa: Lemon Balm Coaching or Women Connected FB Community Connect with Stephanie: SJP Health and Wellness or Be the BOSS, Be Well FB Community Music by Adipsia

When does Jesus healing of others become a "problem?" And why did He often seem to be upsetting the status quo? Share. Make it a great day in the Love & Lordship of Christ (Luke 13:10-17)!

Matthew 12:9-14 9 [Jesus] went on from there and entered their synagogue. 10 And a man was there with a withered hand. And they asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—so that they might accuse him. 11 He said to them, “Which one of you who has a sheep, if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not take hold of it and lift it out? 12 Of how much more value is a man than a sheep! So it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.” 13 Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And the man stretched it out, and it was restored, healthy like the other. 14 But the Pharisees went out and conspired against him, how to destroy him.

A blood moon sparks fresh waves of end-times predictions, apocalyptic charts, and doomsday rhetoric — but is that really the point? Jase, Al, and Zach push back on the obsession with “when” and “where,” arguing that Scripture shifts the focus to who you're with and whether you're ready. From 1 Thessalonians to Jesus healing on the Sabbath, the conversation reframes heaven not as escape, but as meaningful work in a renewed creation.  In this episode: 1 Thessalonians 4, verses 13–18; 1 Thessalonians 5, verses 1–4; 1 John 3, verses 16–19; John 5, verses 1–17; Matthew 11, verse 28; Romans 8, verse 19; Genesis 1, verse 28 “Unashamed” Episode 1281 is sponsored by: https://texassuperfood.com — Get 35% off your first order when you use code Unashamed. https://trustandwill.com/unashamed — Get 20% off and protect your legacy today!  https://chministries.org/unashamed — See why Christians are ditching health insurance for good.

Our time in Leviticus comes to a close today, as the Lord explains the institutions of Sabbath years and the year of Jubilee. Israel is to work the ground for six years, then on the seventh year they are to rest. After 49 years (7x7) they are to celebrate a year of Jubilee where debts are cancelled and Hebrew servants relieved from their service. Finally, if Israel fails to observe the Lord's commands, they will be cut off from the Lord, and their sacrifices will no longer be pleasing to God. Instead of turning toward the nation of Israel in power and with unmatched favor, the Lord will turn against them in wrath and they will be scattered and overtaken by another nation.

Send a textIf your home feels loud but strangely disconnected, you're not imagining it. This week, we are unpacking six quiet forces that pull families apart—distraction, unending busyness, thin faith rhythms, isolation, marriage silence, and digital traps—and we offer simple, durable ways to push back. From dismantling the myth of multitasking to practicing a real Sabbath, we share how small shifts create big stability: a time budget for one week, a protected nightly check-in after 8:30, shared TV instead of isolated screens, and a daily anchor for Scripture and prayer that actually fits real life.If this episode helps you, share it with a friend, hit follow, and leave a quick review so more families can find it.

This discussion features: Judah Thomas, Lenny Selgado, Mike McHugh, and James Gowell.Edited by: Tim NicholsonIn Week 12 of Thriving in the Word, we continue our discussion on Hebrews 7–9 and talk about covenants, what they are, what the mean/meant and how the old law evolved into bending rules. We unpack the difference between the old covenant (old contract) and the new covenant (new heart), and why God's plan was never just “try harder and do it all right.” From types and shadows to the real thing, we trace how the Old Testament system pointed forward to Jesus—our spotless Lamb, our better Priest, and the One whose blood speaks a better word.Along the way, we get practical (and a little humorous):What does it mean for God to write His law on our hearts?Why do we have an innate sense of right and wrong, and why doesn't that save us?How does hardness of heart keep people stuck in performance mode?We chat about Simon who carried the Cross for Jesus and what it must've felt like to actually have Jesus “blood on you”?Why the first mile is obligation, but the second mile is where we share our faith.If you've ever felt crushed by the idea that you have to be perfect to be close to God, this episode is for you. Jesus doesn't upgrade your effort, He has a new contract.Help us spread the word about Thriving in the Word—and thanks for being part of the family.Have a blessed day.More info: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.thrive.church⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Give: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.thrive.church/give/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Need prayer? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠prayer@thrive.church⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠This is a presentation of Thrive.Church © All Rights Reserved

REST – Winter is the season the soul rests. Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out? Jesus' invitation in Gospel of Matthew 11 isn't about escaping responsibility it's about exchanging heavy burdens for His light yoke. It's about rediscovering Sabbath as a gift, not a rule. From creation in Genesis to the promise of a greater rest in Epistle to the Hebrews 4, Scripture reveals that rest is woven into God's design for our freedom. In this episode, we explore: The true meaning of Sabbath Why our culture resists rest How Jesus modeled healthy rhythms What it means to live in the freedom Christ secured (Galatians 5:1) It's time to sit down. To cease striving. To learn the unforced rhythms of grace.   https://www.lifechurchwilm.com/

Something NewMarch 1, 2026 • Devon Accardi • Luke 5:27–39, Luke 6:1–11In Luke 5:27–6:11, Jesus introduces something radically new: God's kingdom breaking in. Jesus calls Levi, a tax collector, out of his old life and then sits at a table with the tax collectors and sinners, insisting he came like a doctor for the sick—inviting the needy, not congratulating the self-righteous. When the Pharisees push back with their religious expectations, Jesus answers that his presence is like new wine that requires new wineskins, meaning grace can't be contained inside an old framework of rule-keeping and performance. He then confronts Sabbath legalism by declaring himself Lord of the Sabbath and healing a man in the synagogue, exposing hearts that care more about staying “right” than restoring what is broken. Communion Sunday then served as a tangible reminder that Jesus has brought a new covenant of mercy, forgiveness, and rest for anyone who will come.WEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/

"You shall have a tassel to look at and remember all the commandments of the LORD." Following the catastrophe of unbelief, God graciously provides instructions for when Israel finally enters the land. Grain offerings, drink offerings, and sin offerings are detailed. A man who gathers sticks on the Sabbath is put to death, demonstrating the seriousness of God's commands. And tassels on garments serve as constant reminders of covenant faithfulness. In this chapter, we see that God's law is meant to permeate all of life.  The Rev. David Boisclair, senior pastor at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Overland, MO, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Numbers 15.  To learn more about Our Redeemer Lutheran, visit ourredeemerstl.org. The Book of Numbers is far more than an ancient census report. It is the story of a people learning to trust God in the wilderness, and failing, and finding grace anyway.  In this series, host Pastor Phil Booe and guest pastors walk through the Old Testament book of Numbers chapter by chapter. We follow Israel from Sinai toward the Promised Land, through grumbling and rebellion, fiery serpents and a talking donkey, faithless spies and faithful priests. The journey is hard, the failures are many, and God remains faithful to a faithless people.  These ancient accounts point us to Christ. The bronze serpent lifted on a pole points to the cross. The rock struck for water points to the one struck for us. The high priest whose death frees the manslayer points to the Great High Priest whose death sets us free forever. Join us as we discover that the wilderness has more to teach us than we ever expected.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

In part five of Act Like Men, Pastor Jeremy lays out four clear indicators of a strong man — not culture's version, but Christ's: Sabbath, perseverance, humility, and service. Because the real test of strength isn't what you build in this life… it's what they'll say when you're gone.
