You Are Not Alone: How the Holy Spirit Guides Us – John 16In Episode 154 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane continue their journey through the Gospel of John with John 16, where Jesus prepares His disciples for what life will look like after He leaves—and gives them an incredible promise: the Holy Spirit is coming.Jesus tells His disciples that the Spirit of Truth will guide them, teach them, reveal truth, and point them back to Him. What feels like Jesus leaving is actually the beginning of something new: God's presence dwelling within His people.Together, Jamie and Jane unpack what it practically means to be led by the Holy Spirit. How do we recognize His guidance? How do we distinguish His voice from our own thoughts, fears, and desires? And how can we trust His leading when we don't know what's coming next?John 16 also reminds us that following Jesus doesn't mean avoiding difficulty. Jesus tells His disciples plainly that trouble will come—but then gives them a promise we still desperately need today: “Take heart! I have overcome the world.”If you're facing a decision, walking through uncertainty, or simply longing to recognize God's voice more clearly, pull up a chair. You don't have to figure everything out on your own. The Holy Spirit is still guiding.Reflection Question: Where am I trying to figure everything out on my own instead of slowing down and allowing the Holy Spirit to guide me?____________________________________Connect with Jamie:Website: www.jamieklusacek.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacekConnect with Jane:Website: www.janewwilliams.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Who was Polycarp, and what did this disciple of the apostle John teach about Christianity? Explore Polycarp of Smyrna's life, his Letter to the Philippians, and his martyrdom—and discover how the early church passed the apostles' teaching to the next generation.In this video, we examine Polycarp's teaching on salvation by grace, the authority of Scripture, Jesus' true humanity, Christ bearing our sins, and the character of church leaders. We also explore his relationship to the Bishop of Rome, his references to elders and deacons, and his defense of the Christian faith against false teaching.Polycarp's story brings church history into our own lives: Are we faithfully passing on the gospel? Are we making disciples? And will we remain faithful to Jesus when following Him comes at a cost?Watch through the end as we consider persecution in the Roman Empire and Polycarp's refusal to deny Christ.What stands out most to you about Polycarp's life or teaching?

In the first week of this series on the Trinity, Pastor Korey Wilkinson examines God the Father as the sovereign initiator and architect of salvation. The Trinity is foundational to biblical Christianity: one God eternally existing in three distinct persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, each fully God. This message explores the Father's role in planning and initiating our redemption, sending the Son to accomplish salvation and the Spirit to apply it, while also addressing common misunderstandings of the Trinity and why understanding who God is matters for understanding the gospel.

Matthew 18:23-35 | You Can't Keep Holding This — What They Did Was Wrong… But Don't Let It Own YOUSomeone wronged YOU, and YOU have been carrying it ever since.Let's be honest first: what they did was wrong. This is not a message that pretends the offense was small or that YOU should just act like it never happened. The debt was real. The hurt was real. But there is a question this passage forces YOU to face — not whether they were wrong, but what holding onto it is doing to YOU. Because Matthew 18 reveals that unforgiveness does not punish the person who hurt YOU. It quietly imprisons the person carrying it.There is a parable here about a man who was forgiven an impossible debt.He owed something so massive he could never have repaid it in a lifetime. He was completely out of options, facing total ruin. And when he begged for mercy, he received something he did not deserve and could never earn: the entire debt was wiped away. Every bit of it. He walked out of that room free, carrying nothing.Here is what most people miss.That same forgiven man walked straight out and found someone who owed him a small fraction of what he had just been released from. And instead of extending the mercy he had just received, he seized him, refused to listen to his pleading, and had him thrown into prison over a debt that was tiny compared to the one he had been forgiven. He held on to a small offense while standing in the freedom of a massive pardon.And what happened to him next is the sobering heart of this parable.Because his refusal to release what was owed to him did not just affect the other person — it came back on him. He was handed over to the tormentors. That is the picture this passage paints of unforgiveness: it does not lock up the one who wronged YOU. It hands YOU over to torment — replaying it, reliving it, carrying a weight that grows heavier the longer YOU hold it. YOU thought YOU were holding them accountable. YOU were actually holding yourself captive.There is something in the size of the gap — between the debt he was forgiven and the debt he refused to forgive — that will completely change how YOU see the thing YOU have been holding. Because YOU are not being asked to say it did not matter. YOU are being invited to release it so it stops owning YOU.Why was his debt forgiven? What did his unforgiveness cost him? And what does it mean that holding on may be tormenting YOU more than the one who hurt YOU?Press play — because YOU can't keep holding this. What they did was wrong, but do not let it own YOU. This message will show YOU why releasing an offense is not letting them win — it is setting yourself free.If the wound is deep and letting go feels impossible right now, YOU do not have to force it alone — reach out to us, and let us pray with YOU as God helps YOU release what YOU were never meant to keep carrying.

You didn't earn salvation by being good enough. You can't buy it, work your way into it, or achieve it through your own strength. Salvation is God's gift received through faith in Jesus Christ.

Who is this Jesus? He is the Chief Cornerstone. In the last four verses of chapter two we see a marvelous revelation of redemption. Jew and Gentile alike, dead in sin, have been made one temple for the purpose of God dwelling among His people! By redemption in Christ, we are living stones, part of this temple of God which our Lord Jesus is the Chief Cornerstone. What a privilege to be a part of the temple that the living God resides in! Jesus asked his disciples "Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” They gave several answers as to whom people thought Jesus was. Then Jesus asked them the most important question they were ever asked, "But who do you say that I am?” Every person must answer this question!Join Pastor A.J., as we answer this question throughout a series of Bible studies.

In this message from Echoes of the Cross, Pastors RJ & Mary Ciaramitaro unpack the story of Rahab and the scarlet cord as a powerful picture of God's redemption. Rahab's story reminds us that our past does not disqualify us from God's purposes. Through Christ, we are chosen, adopted, redeemed, forgiven, and given a new identity. Ephesians 1:3–14 points us to the fullness of what we have received through Jesus—and the scarlet thread in Rahab's story ultimately points us toward the saving work of the cross. God's grace reaches us where we are, but His redemption gives us a new place in His story. Scripture: Ephesians 1:3–14 Series: Echoes of the Cross Speakers: Pastors RJ & Mary Ciaramitaro

Good morning! Happy Wednesday... (smiling)! This here is

Howdy my friend, abundant blessings of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen. Here is

As Jesus traveled toward Jerusalem, someone asked Him, “Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?” Rather than give a number, Jesus issued a direct challenge: “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door.”In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef explains that this narrow door is Jesus Christ Himself. Salvation does not come through ethnicity, religious tradition, morality, or human effort. It comes through the shed blood of Christ and a heart that turns to Him in repentance and faith.But what does Jesus mean when He tells us to “make every effort”? He is not teaching salvation by works. Instead, Dr. Youssef shows how genuine repentance requires laying down our pride, abandoning every attempt to earn God's favor, and admitting our complete dependence on Christ. As John the Baptist declared, “He must become greater; I must become less.”Jesus warned that outward religion can never substitute for a true relationship with Him. People may perform good works, observe religious rituals, or even call themselves Christians, yet remain outside the Kingdom if they have never truly come to Christ.This devotional is a sobering call to examine where your confidence lies. Eternity is real, and the invitation of the Gospel is urgent. Enter through the narrow door—not trusting in yourself, but in Jesus Christ alone.Pray with me.Jesus, I trust in You and recognize that I bring nothing to earn salvation. You alone are my righteousness. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission. If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.

Join Jennifer Barrett as she journeys to the ancient city of Jericho, where Rahab, a Canaanite prostitute, made a life-altering decision that ultimately led to her place in the lineage of Jesus Christ. We'll unpack the symbolism of the scarlet thread Rahab hung from her window, a powerful emblem of hope and redemption that resonates through the ages.

What do birthdays, bacon socks, bad trivia answers, 16 kinds of meat, and your salvation story have in common?Absolutely nothing—which means they somehow all belong in the same episode of Chasing the Rabbit.This week, the five pastors are together and the rabbits start running early. Jeremy gets “carded” by a first grader who refuses to believe his birthday, Eric introduces the guys to Mount Cleverest and discovers just how much they don't know, and a discussion about an upcoming men's breakfast somehow leads to the unforgettable story of eating 16 meats in 16 minutes…and the resulting “meat sweats.”Eventually, the rabbit trail turns toward something that actually matters: your story.The guys talk about the My Story series, how to share your salvation testimony without glorifying your past, why every testimony matters—even if it isn't dramatic—and what we can learn from Paul's story in Acts. Then comes the question we didn't know we needed: If you could sit down and hear the full testimony of one person in Scripture, who would it be?Jonah? The woman at the well? Mary Magdalene? The man born blind?Or maybe…Brutus.Yep. You'll have to listen.Five pastors. No script. Plenty of rabbits.Welcome to Chasing the Rabbit.

“Women do truly initiate these key movements in redemption history…All of a sudden this narrative came, how each life was linked and…how, more than bread crumbs, it became a highway that people had overlooked.” — Ingrid Faro What would it mean for all of us—women and men—to understand that from the beginning women are a part of God's plan for the world, including its redemption? This question is at the heart of Redeeming Eden: How Women in the Bible Advance the Story of Salvation by Ingrid Faro with Joyce Koo Dalrymple (Zondervan, 2005). This summer Women Scholars and Professionals offered the opportunity to read and discuss Redeeming Eden. We had robust and helpful conversations and were thrilled when the authors agreed to join us for our last call. We recorded so we could share it with you. We hope you enjoy the conversation and are encouraged to pick up and read this book!   For show notes or more information please visit our article on Substack.  If you'd like to support the work of InterVarsity's Women Scholars and Professionals, including future podcasts such as this episode, you can do so at givetoiv.org/wsap.

This week, we're pulling from the archives with a session from Dudley's series Grace: Living in the Liberty of God's Love. Dudley opens Romans 5 — what he calls “the much more chapter.” Salvation is wonderful, but it is so much more than fire insurance or a clean slate for past sins. God has prepared a life abundant and free, far beyond anything we would think to ask for. And for many of us, the first “much more” is the one we need most: knowing we are saved.So how do you know you are saved? Not by winning the debate over eternal security, and not by cataloging verses. Assurance of salvation is a ministry of the Holy Spirit, who speaks to your heart by name. Drawing on a moment from his father-in-law's funeral, Dudley invites us out of doubt and false guilt and into a confident, intimate relationship with Jesus. Salvation is not a bunch of doctrines believed. It is a ministry of Jesus received.You can find the full Grace series, along with more of Dudley's teaching, at StudyWithDudley.com.We pray this message will encourage, challenge, and transform.As always, we invite you to share it with someone who needs it.Get Dudley's Weekly Word delivered right to your inbox every Friday!

Hebrews 12:1-11 | God's Correction Is Proof He Has Not Given Up on YOUThe very thing YOU have been reading as God being against YOU may be the strongest proof that He is for YOU.YOU are in a season that feels like correction — like God is pressing on something in YOUR life, letting YOU feel the weight of a wrong turn, allowing discomfort where YOU wanted ease. And it is easy to read that as rejection, as God being distant, disappointed, or done with YOU. But Hebrews 12 completely reframes what that correction actually means — and once YOU see it, YOU will stop resisting the very thing meant to save YOU.The passage names the pain honestly first.It does not pretend correction feels good. It openly admits that in the moment, it is not pleasant — it is grievous, hard, the kind of thing everything in YOU wants to pull away from. So if YOU are feeling that, YOU are not doing something wrong. That ache is exactly what the passage acknowledges. But then it exposes something underneath that ache that changes its entire meaning.Here is what most people miss.Correction is not evidence that God has rejected YOU. It is evidence that YOU belong to Him. The passage draws a direct line: a father corrects the child he claims, the child he is committed to, the child he is raising for something. And then it makes a startling reversal — it says the truly alarming thing would be the absence of correction, because that would suggest a relationship that was never really there. What YOU have been resenting as a sign God pulled away is actually the sign He is treating YOU as His own.And there is a specific promise about what the correction is producing.It does not stay grievous. This passage says that for those who stop fighting it and let it do its work, correction yields a specific fruit later — something peaceable, something righteous, something YOU could not have gotten any other way. The discomfort YOU are in is not punishment without purpose. It is a Father cultivating something in YOU that will outlast the pain of the pruning.There is something in the difference between resisting correction and being trained by it — the fruit it produces in the one who submits versus the one who fights it — that will completely change how YOU walk through this season. Because God does not correct the people He has given up on. He corrects the ones He is not finished with.Why does the passage admit the correction hurts? What would the absence of it actually mean? And what is the fruit it produces in the one who stops resisting?Press play — because God's correction is proof He has not given up on YOU. Don't resist it — this message will show YOU why the pressure YOU are feeling is not rejection, but the hand of a Father who is still committed to who YOU are becoming.

For centuries Jews have broken bread and taken the cup of salvation without knowing the real reason.

The God who begins the work of salvation will bring it to completion. Dave Jenkins reflects on God's faithfulness in saving, sustaining, sanctifying, and ultimately glorifying his people. Drawing on Philippians 1:6 and Lamentations 3:22–23, he encourages believers to trust God's promises and look to him through every season of life.

James talks about two kinds of wisdom, and earthly and a heavenly wisdom. So what is earthly wisdom? Let's find out together as we read James 3:13-18 and Proverbs 9:1-12.

We are taking a deep dive into 1 Corinthians 15:1 and 2 to see what Paul says about the gospel of Jesus and how it changes our lives. What we are seeing with some of the Corinthians is that the gospel hasn't really made a difference in their lives and they continue to live in sin. Paul has warned them on multiple occasions to quit the sin and get in right relationship with Jesus and with those in the church, but they continue to discredit Paul, his authority, his apostleship, and his message because if they can discredit him, it makes them feel as though they can defend their sinful actions instead of repenting and allowing Jesus and the gospel to change them. Were they saved? Are they saved? Paul puts conditions on their faith and we break it down in this podcast!

In this final message from Matthew 25, we continue our study of Jesus' teaching concerning the acts of mercy shown by His people, as reported to them in the final Judgment. We consider how acts of mercy demonstrate that our faith is authentic, and how Scripture connects genuine faith with a willingness to help others … Continue reading "Expanding on Acts of Mercy (Part 2) | Matthew 25"

Join Kevin & Caroline Rogers as they walk you through this 5-part marriage preparation series. Today's topic is "Expectations". Various expectations will arise throughout your married life; it's important to learn how to identify your own expectations and communicate them with your spouse. Additionally, you need to learn how to listen for and acknowledge their expectations. We will also talk about how to identify an unrealistic expectation vs a realistic one. Tools to Prepare You for a Godly Marriage are more important now than ever—because marriage was never meant to be a burden. It was designed by God to be beautiful, joyful, and deeply fulfilling.When two people come together in marriage according to God's design, it becomes more than a relationship. It becomes a living picture of God's rescue plan for creation—a mirror image of Salvation. That's why marriage matters so much... and why the enemy hates it so deeply.We believe that God designed marriage to work. But just like anything valuable that you love and want to see thrive, it requires care, intention, and the right tools.So let's fight for that kind of love. Let's be vigilant. Let's build something that lasts.If you are interested in having the companion booklet for free to go along with this series, comment here with your email or message us on:IG- ⁠@marriedrogersneighborhood ⁠orFacebook- ⁠@marriedrogersneighborhood⁠

If I don't know whether God intends to remove my son's autism this side of eternity… what exactly do I pray for?In Part 1 of this series, we established a framework: God gets the outcome. I get the assignment. But trusting God with the outcome doesn't mean we stop asking Him for things. Paul didn't. In 2 Corinthians 12, he pleaded with God to remove his thorn three times. Trusting God's sovereignty didn't silence his prayers—and it doesn't have to silence ours.In this episode, I'm getting very practical about what I pray for Graham: salvation, communication, reading, regulation, patience, self-advocacy, friendships, courage, meaningful work, opportunities to use his gifts, and ultimately that he would become a disciple who makes disciples.Because the greatest miracle I could witness in my autistic son's life isn't watching an autistic child become non-autistic. It's watching a spiritually dead sinner be made alive in Christ.And somewhere in all of this, I'm learning how to live in the tension between hope and expectation. I can desperately want something for my son, ask God boldly for it, work faithfully toward it—and still refuse to make that hoped-for outcome a burden Graham has to carry.Ask boldly. Work faithfully. Hope deeply. Hold the outcome with open hands.Scriptures Referenced2 Corinthians 12:7–10Ephesians 2:1–10Romans 8:29Romans 10:171 Corinthians 13Galatians 5:22–23Questions for This WeekInstead of ONLY asking, “Do I pray for my child's healing?” ask:What am I specifically asking God to do IN my child's life?Write it down. Salvation? Communication? Understanding? Wisdom? Courage? Friendships? Regulation? Self-advocacy? A love for Scripture? Opportunities to serve? Greater independence?Then ask one more question:What am I asking God to grow in ME?Because you can't raise an autistic disciple without first being a disciple yourself.Jesus, make my son more like You. Not less autistic. More like Christ.______

Welcome to today's Guided Prayer, where we invite you to find a quiet space to still your mind and body.  Guided Prayers are a daily 5–10 minute, intentionally created moment to slow down and meet with God—through scripture, reflection, and honest prayer.It's not a program you attend.It's a pathway you practice.A guided space where people can stop, breathe, and connect with Jesus—every single day.

We continue diving into a theology of home. Scripture emphasizes the happenings in homes far more than happenings in programmatic religious gatherings. In particular, there is a fascinating gospel narrative in which salvation shows up at a home. It's through Jesus' presence at this home a household experiences salvation and its relation to the world around is transformed. Let's awaken ourselves to salvation present at our tables bringing about rescue and transformation within us and around us. Scripture: Luke 19:1-10

In this message, Pastor Ricky Ortiz shares that the pathway to spiritual transformation begins with receiving God's love — a love that is unconditional, sacrificial, offered first, and freely given.

Guided Question Are you trusting in your own righteousness and good works, or are you relying on the righteousness of Jesus, who perfectly fulfilled the law on your behalf? Summary In this episode, Dr. Robert Lewis explores Jesus' teaching in Matthew 5:17–20 concerning the law. He explains why understanding God's law is essential for understanding God's holiness, humanity's sinfulness, Christ's work, and the greatness of salvation. Jesus did not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it completely. Dr. Lewis distinguishes the Mosaic law from the oral traditions developed by the scribes and Pharisees. While the law revealed God's righteous standard, these additional regulations became so extensive that they could actually contradict and invalidate God's commands. Jesus confronted this legalism and redirected attention to the true intent of God's Word. The law also reveals that righteousness is not merely about outward behavior. Jesus raises the standard by showing that God examines the heart, including motives and attitudes. The law therefore exposes humanity's inability to achieve righteousness through personal effort. This leads to the heart of the gospel: Jesus alone perfectly fulfilled the law. While the law leaves humanity aware of its sin and unable to earn salvation, Christ offers His righteousness to those who trust in Him. Salvation is not achieved through religious performance or good deeds, but received through faith in Jesus Christ. Outline 1. The Importance of the Law The law reveals God's holiness and righteous standard. Understanding the law helps us understand sin, salvation, justification, and Christ's work. 2. What the Law Contains Ceremonial laws Civil laws Moral laws The moral law provides a continuing standard of righteousness. 3. Jesus and the Law Jesus came not to abolish the law but to fulfill it. He fulfilled its ceremonial, civil, and moral requirements. God's Word is completely reliable and trustworthy. 4. The Problem of Legalism The scribes and Pharisees added extensive oral regulations. Their traditions sometimes contradicted the very law they claimed to uphold. Jesus challenged religious traditions that replaced God's Word. 5. Righteousness Beyond External Behavior The law addresses the heart as well as outward actions. Jesus exposes the inadequacy of outward religious performance. True righteousness must extend to attitudes, motives, and desires. 6. The Only Way to Salvation No one can earn salvation by keeping the law. The law reveals our sin and inability to meet God's standard. Jesus alone perfectly fulfilled the law. Through faith, believers receive Christ's righteousness. 7. The Cross Road One path trusts in personal righteousness and good works. The other trusts in Christ and His righteousness. Jesus offers forgiveness, grace, and entrance into the kingdom of heaven. Key Takeaways Jesus Fulfilled the Law: Christ did not abolish God's law; He perfectly fulfilled it. God's Word Is Reliable: Scripture provides a stable and trustworthy foundation in an uncertain world. Legalism Distorts God's Law: Human traditions can become substitutes for God's commands when they are elevated above Scripture. God Looks at the Heart: Righteousness involves motives and attitudes, not merely outward actions. The Law Reveals Our Sin: The law shows that no person can earn justification through good works. Jesus Is Our Righteousness: Christ accomplished what no human being could accomplish by perfectly fulfilling the law. Salvation Comes Through Faith: The gospel offers Christ's righteousness as a gift of grace to those who trust in Him. Scripture References Matthew 5:17–20 — Jesus fulfills the law and calls for true righteousness. Mark 7:5–13 — Jesus confronts traditions that replace God's commands. Exodus 20:1–17 — The Ten Commandments establish foundational moral law. Proverbs 16:2 — God examines a person's motives. 1 Samuel 16:7 — God looks at the heart rather than outward appearance. Matthew 5:21–28 — Jesus applies the law to inner attitudes as well as outward actions. Matthew 23:27–28 — Jesus exposes the hypocrisy of outward righteousness without inward transformation. Galatians 3:22 — Scripture reveals humanity's bondage to sin. Romans 3:20–24 — The law reveals sin, while righteousness comes through faith in Jesus Christ. Romans 3:23 — All have sinned and fall short of God's glory. 1 Timothy 5:8 — Believers are responsible to care for their families.   Recorded 3.13.83

Every professed Christian acknowledges that they have been saved as a result of Jesus' sacrifice. The big questions come after that acknowledgment. How is someone saved, is there a cost for this salvation, or is it a free gift? What are we saved from? Is there a way to lose this salvation or is it an unbreakable and permanent protection no matter what we do? If we go to various denominations with these questions we will receive a wide variety of answers. The challenge is, all these answers do have somewhat of a basis in Scripture. What do we do now? We look at scripture as a whole and find the recurring themes that explain how all of these moving parts come together. Two Phases of Salvation Part I builds a clear foundation for understanding salvation by examining what it is, how it works and who receives it. We walk through key scriptures to explain the difference between salvation by invitation for true followers of Jesus now and salvation by just and merciful inclusion for the world in the future. It also highlights the cost of discipleship, the role of free will and why only spirit-begotten Christians are on trial for eternal life in the present age. This groundwork prepares listeners for Part II, where the warning passages and the question of losing salvation will be explored in depth. Beyond just a moment of belief or feelings of strong emotion, salvation is a process rooted in God's calling. Those drawn to Christ now are justified and invited to present their lives as a living sacrifice, walking a narrow path of growth and faithfulness. Non-Christians can’t lose salvation because they have not yet received it; their opportunity comes later in Christ's kingdom when accurate knowledge of God is provided and evil influences are removed. Only those who are spirit begotten and in covenant relationship with God can turn away from their calling in this age. Understanding these distinctions is essential before approaching the more challenging scriptures addressed in Part II. Key Takeaways Salvation is deliverance from eternal death through Jesus' sacrifice. God's calling now is selective and leads to justification and discipleship. Present salvation requires offering one's life as a living sacrifice. Only Christians who have received the holy spirit are on trial for eternal life today. The world's salvation comes later under Christ's kingdom conditions.

Acts 15 forces the early church to answer a question at the heart of the gospel: What does it take to truly belong to God's people? Their answer clarifies how we are saved by grace and how that grace shapes the way we live together.

Learn how to replace stress and distraction with rest, rhythm, and intentional living—because life is better with less rush and more presence.In this message, Pastor Rick Long concludes a 5-week series titled "The Hurry Problem" by emphasizing the importance of intentionally creating margin in life to make room for what matters most: God, His purposes, and people. He warns against living a life dictated by the "urgent" and highlights that true flourishing requires slowing down.Key Principles for Making Margin (Using the acronym MARGIN):M - Make God's Presence Your First Priority: (16:32) Cultivate a daily habit of starting with God (23:45) and scheduling uninterrupted time with Him.A - Allow Your Soul to be Renewed: (24:47) Develop weekly rhythms of rest and refuse to view busyness as a status symbol (31:51).R - Resist the Rush for More: (32:27) Recognize that "more" will never satisfy the soul. Pastor Rick shares the story of Stanley Tam (35:32) as an example of living with an open-handed, kingdom-focused mindset.G - Give Generously: (40:34) Understand that all resources belong to God. Generosity is not about capital campaigns but living a lifestyle of contribution over consumption (44:41).I - Invest in What Outlives You: (46:42) Focus on things with eternal value, such as mentoring the next generation (48:43).N - Notice People More Than Your Schedule: (51:02) Hurried people often overlook others. Pastor Rick encourages viewing others with compassion, encouraging them with sincerity, and serving with humility (54:11-55:15).The message concludes by inviting viewers to accept the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ and commit to changing their patterns to live a life of purpose rather than constant chaos.0:00 Introduction and Welcome0:40 The Hurry Problem Series Conclusion2:47 Making Room for What Matters Most4:15 Dictated by the Urgent8:27 The Theory of Margin (Howard McCluskey)13:52 Defining Margin15:15 M - Make God's Presence Your First Priority24:47 A - Allow Your Soul to be Renewed32:27 R - Resist the Rush for More35:32 The Story of Stanley Tam40:34 G - Give Generously46:42 I - Invest in What Outlives You51:02 N - Notice People More Than Your Schedule56:14 Summary and Challenge58:59 Invitation to Salvation
