"Então disse Jesus aos Seus discípulos: Se alguém quiser vir após Mim, renuncie-se a si mesmo, tome sobre si a sua cruz, e siga-Me; Porque aquele que quiser salvar a sua vida, perdê-la-á, e quem perder a sua vida por amor de Mim, achá-la-á." Mateus 16:24-25."Ora, o Senhor disse a Abrão: Sai-te da tua terra, da tua parentela e da casa de teu pai, para a terra que Eu te mostrarei. E far-te-ei uma grande nação, e abençoar-te-ei e engrandecerei o teu nome; e tu serás uma bênção." Gênesis 12:1-2. Ora, sem fé é impossível agradar-Lhe; porque é necessário que aquele que se aproxima de Deus creia que Ele existe, e que é galardoador dos que O buscam. Hebreus 11:6
What if robbing God is actually robbing ourselves when we do so? We miss out on blessings when we disobey God because we feel the costs are too high. What if the costs are to high to NOT obey? What if our predicaments now that we're in is actually due to past disobedience, and the only way out now actually is our obedience?

Pastor Danielle Frazer explains that Paul's words to the Corinthians call us to root every gift and action in selfless, enduring love—patience, kindness, humility, and hope—reminding us that without love even the greatest deeds are empty. She points us back to God's own sacrificial heart, showing that love begins and remains in Him.
Mental, emotional, and spiritual healing requires more than clinical technique—it demands sacrificial empathy, institutional trust, and a profound affirmation of the image of God in every human being. In this episode, clinical psychologist and Pine Rest CEO Mark Eastburg joins Mark Labberton to discuss the rising need for mental health care—especially for children, adolescents, and those recovering from severe trauma. Eastburg offers insights about the post-pandemic mental health landscape; psychological and emotional resilience; trauma-informed therapy; deep listening; and the theological, moral, and social commitments that drive Eastburg's approach to mental and spiritual health. They also discuss the systemic injustice underlying many mental health disparities, inviting us to see mental health care as a vital form of justice work rooted in compassion, dignity, and Christian witness. Episode Highlights “We're in the healing moments business. That's what we do … and I think those healing moments are the building blocks of the kingdom of God—just like atoms are the building blocks of the material world.” “We're in the healing moments business. … Those healing moments are the building blocks of the kingdom of God.” “Mental health work is justice work … especially when we're helping people who've been victims of injustice get back into community.” “If you just react to people's symptoms, you'll get more symptoms. But if you can see the beautiful human being underneath, you'll see more of that.” “A Christian approach to therapy starts with the belief that every person is made in the image of God—and they are someone's favourite brother or sister.” “Jesus's care for the outsider, for the downtrodden, the excluded—that has to define what we mean when we say we express the healing ministry of Christ.” About Mark Eastburg Mark Eastburg, PhD, is president and chief executive officer of Pine Rest Christian Mental Health Services, one of the five largest free-standing behavioural health organizations in the United States. With a doctorate in clinical psychology from Fuller Theological Seminary, Eastburg has served in both clinical and leadership roles at Pine Rest for over three decades. He is a passionate advocate for trauma-informed care, access to mental health services, and a faith-integrated approach to healing grounded in human dignity and Christian compassion.

On a Memorial Day weekend, where our country remembers those who have sacrificed for our freedom, Pastor Rob guides us through 1 Timothy 6 to learn about the sacrifice of another kind--generosity. As recipients of God's amazing grace, believers are called to be a giving people. But what does this look like practically speaking? How are Christ followers to live as a giving people when it comes to our finances? Listen as Pastor Rob gives our latest message, The Sacrifice of Generosity.
How are the sacrifices arranged? What is the minimum of sacrifices to be offered per year? Why mentioned this here? Daily (28:3-8) Sabbath (28:9-10) First of Month (28:11-15) Feast of Unleavened Bread (28:17-25) Feast of Weeks of Pentecost (28:26-31) First Day of Seventh Month (29:1-6) Day of Atonement (29:7-11) Feast of Tabernacles (29:12-38)
A theological chess match unfolds in Mark 12:35-44 as Jesus, having weathered a barrage of trick questions from religious leaders, turns the tables with a single profound question that leaves them speechless. Drawing from Psalm 110, Jesus asks how the Messiah can be both David's descendant and David's Lord—a paradox that reveals the divine nature of the Messiah and exposes the limitations of His opponents' understanding of Scripture.The crowd delights in this reversal as Jesus delivers a scathing critique of religious leaders who parade around in fancy robes seeking recognition and honor while exploiting the vulnerable. His warning about "greater condemnation" for such hypocrites reveals that judgment comes in degrees, particularly severe for those who use spiritual authority for personal gain.The scene shifts dramatically when Jesus sits to observe worshippers making donations to the temple treasury. Among the wealthy contributors, he notices a poor widow who places two small copper coins—her entire livelihood—into the collection. In this quietly powerful moment, Jesus declares she has given more than all others combined, not by amount but by sacrifice.Through these encounters, Jesus demonstrates divine wisdom and authority, revealing profound theological truths, exposing religious hypocrisy, and elevating humble faithfulness above outward displays of piety. His teachings continue to challenge our understanding of true spirituality and what it means to follow God wholeheartedly.Have you considered how you measure generosity in your own life?

What does love really look like? Is it patient and kind? Sacrificial and strong? On the night before his death, Jesus showed his disciples the full extent of his love—and called them to do the same.This Mother's Day, we pause to honor those who have shown us love in its many forms—mothers, mentors, and others who have helped shape our lives.In a world that often rushes past real connection, Jesus reminds us: “Love one another as I have loved you.” Join us this Sunday as we reflect on the power of Christ-like love—and the people who have taught us what love truly means.

Be Strong Men's Conference | Zach MabryIn a culture that's confused about what it means to be a man, Zach Mabry calls men back to God's design for masculinity. This message is a clear, biblical look at what it means to be a godly man—one who takes responsibility, leads with love, and follows the example of Jesus.Zach challenges men to live with purpose, lead their families well, and grow in godliness. Masculinity isn't toxic when it's tied to Christ—it's a gift meant to reflect God's character. Now more than ever, the world needs strong, faithful men who live as examples worth following.This sermon is a practical and powerful call for men to step up, grow up, and live out their faith with strength and humility.Be Strong Men's ConferencePlease leave a review on Apple or Spotify to help others grow in their faith.

In Mark 12:41-44, Jesus observes a poor widow who donates two small coins, emphasizing that her humble, sacrificial gift is more significant than larger contributions from the wealthy. This passage teaches that God values the heart behind giving over the amount. It encourages trusting God and practicing sacrificial giving, regardless of perceived worth.

Welcome to Day 2580 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2580 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 50:7-15 Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2580 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2580 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. In today's Wisdom Nugget, we will explore Psalm 50:7-15, a passage where God speaks directly to His people, correcting their misunderstanding of true worship. In this passage, God reminds Israel that He does not need their sacrifices, but rather, He desires their genuine faith and dependence on Him. From an Ancient Israelite perspective, this was a challenging message. Sacrificial offerings were central to their worship and covenant relationship with God. Yet, the psalmist Asaph presents God as the ultimate judge, correcting those who relied more on outward religious rituals than on a sincere heart devoted to Him. This passage teaches us that God desires thanksgiving, obedience, and trust—not empty religious actions. Let's begin by reading Psalm 50:7-15 from the New Living Translation: Psalm 50:7-15 (NLT) 7 “O My people, listen as I speak. Here are My charges against you, O Israel: I am God, your God! 8 I have no complaint about your sacrifices or the burnt offerings you constantly bring to My altar. 9 But I do not need the bulls from your barns or the goats from your pens. 10 For all the animals of the forest are Mine, and I own the cattle on a thousand hills. 11 I know every bird on the mountains, and all the animals of the field are Mine. 12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for all the world is Mine and everything in it. 13 Do I eat the meat of bulls? Do I drink the blood of goats? 14 Make thankfulness your sacrifice to God, and keep the vows you made to the Most High. 15 Then call on Me when you are in trouble, and I will rescue you, and you will give Me glory.” God Speaks as the Judge (Verse 7) The passage begins with a dramatic shift. Up until now, God has been summoning the heavens and the earth as witnesses, preparing to judge His people. Now, He speaks directly to Israel: “O My people, listen as I speak. Here are My charges against you, O Israel: I am God, your God!” The phrase “I am God, your God” is significant. It reminds the Israelites of their covenant relationship with Him. This echoes Exodus 20:2, where God says: “I am the Lord your God, who rescued you from the land of Egypt.” God is not addressing foreign nations but His own people—those who should already know His ways. However, they have drifted into a mechanical form of worship, offering...
