Read Online“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how many times I yearned to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were unwilling!” Luke 13:34It's helpful to ponder the Sacred Heart of Jesus. His heart is one that is strong and gentle, compassionate and just, merciful and truthful. In this Gospel passage, we are given a glimpse of Jesus' love for the people of Jerusalem. He was not expressing His love for the city, but for the people in the city. It is clear that His deepest desire, His strong yearning, was that they allow Him to draw them close to Him so that He can protect them from all evil.Jesus begins by speaking the word “Jerusalem” twice. This expresses deep compassion for the people of that city. It also expresses a lament that they have not turned to Him, remaining unwilling to change. Their refusal began long before Jesus walked the earth when their forefathers rejected the call of the prophets to repent and turn back to God. The stubbornness of their fathers continued with the people of Jesus' day, and He experienced their rejection. This rejection did not lead Jesus to anger or condemnation as much as it led Him to holy sorrow.The image of a hen gathering her brood under her wings is a lovely image to meditate upon. A mother hen protects her chicks with great courage and without concern for her own safety. When danger approaches, she extends her wings and covers the vulnerable chicks to protect them. Jesus uses this motherly image to express His desire to protect not only the people of Jerusalem, but all of us.If Jesus yearned to gather the people together under his “wings” to protect them, then we should know, with certainty, that we need our Lord's protection. He would not desire something that was unnecessary. He is not an overly protective God Who irrationally worries about His children. His concern is real and necessary, and we must know that we need His protection.As you go about your daily life, do you feel as though you can handle life on your own? Do you act as an independent child who wants to separate yourself from the safety of your parents? Though we must all work to become responsible in life, we will never arrive at a point where we no longer need the protection of our loving God. The world in which we live is filled with dangers from which only God can protect us.At the beginning of today's Gospel, Jesus referred to Herod as a “fox.” That image must be seen in the context of Jesus desiring to act as a mother hen, protecting her brood. Jesus was told that Herod was trying to kill Him, but He clearly was not afraid of Herod. Of Herod's desire to kill Jesus, Jesus said, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and I perform healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I accomplish my purpose.'” As a protector, Jesus took authority over demons, performed healings and opened the gates of Heaven by rising from the dead on the third day. As we go through life, there will be many demons who seek to attack us. We will need many forms of healing, and without the gift of Jesus' triumph over death itself, we will not be led to the glories of Heaven. Demons are real. Wounds are real. And the need for a Savior is real. Reflect, today, upon the image of Jesus acting as a mother hen, extending His wings over you to protect you from the many temptations and diabolical attacks you will encounter in this world. Ponder the fact that you need His daily protection. The demons will never stop their attacks. Mental, emotional and spiritual wounds need His healing. Jesus is the only one Who can protect you and heal you so that He can then pour forth the gift of eternal life. Remain under His protective care, and allow Him to fulfill the yearnings of His Sacred Heart. My compassionate Lord, You yearn to protect me from the many evils in this world. You yearn to heal me of the wounds my sins have caused. And You yearn to bestow upon me the gift of eternal life. I accept Your protection, dear Lord, and pray for the healing I need. Please cover me always and bestow upon me the gift of eternal life. Jesus, I trust in You.

Most people think of October 31st as Halloween—but it’s also Reformation Day, a cornerstone of Christian history that forever changed how believers understand salvation. Rooted in Romans 5:1–2, this devotional reminds us that faith—not works—justifies us before God. Martin Luther’s courage to challenge corruption in the church reignited the truth of salvation by grace alone through faith alone, and his bold stand still calls us to live out the Gospel with conviction today. Highlights Reformation Day commemorates October 31, 1517, when Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the Wittenberg church door. Luther’s actions reclaimed the biblical truth that salvation comes by grace through faith, not by works or wealth. His translation of the Bible into German gave ordinary people access to God’s Word for the first time. Today, over 700 languages have Scripture translations—a legacy of the Reformation’s impact. Believers are called to guard against modern distortions of the Gospel, like prosperity or works-based teachings. Living out Reformation truths means boldly proclaiming salvation through Christ alone and standing firm in sound doctrine. Join the Conversation How can you live out the truths of the Reformation in your daily faith walk? Share your reflections and gratitude for the freedom we have in Christ.

In this powerful sermon, Pastor Michael unpacks Romans 6:20-23, exploring the contrast between slavery to sin and freedom in Christ. Drawing from personal stories and cultural insights, he illustrates how the pursuit of self-directed "freedom" leads to bondage, alienation, and death, while allegiance to Christ brings true liberation, sanctification, and eternal life. Through the story of John Newton's transformation and the miracle at Cana, Pastor Michael shows that God's grace doesn't just reform us—it changes our very essence, creating holiness where none existed. Salvation is both a moment and a journey, offering hope for immediate change and ongoing growth. Join us to discover how God's free gift of grace can transform your life today.

What does baptism say about our freedom in Christ? Like Israel crossing the Red Sea, baptism pictures our deliverance from sin's power. We now walk free, no longer slaves, but alive in Christ.In this four-part series on the command “Baptize My Disciples,” we are invited to see baptism not as a symbolic obligation, but as a profound declaration of our union with Christ. Rooted in the authority and love of the risen Savior, baptism marks the believer's identity in Him, testifying that we have died to sin and been raised in newness of life. Through teaching, testimony, and Scripture, we are reminded that this command is both deeply spiritual and practically essential—anchored in Christ's power, pointing always to His glory, and flowing from a life of discipleship. Join Nate and Gabe as they explore Christ's command to “Baptize My Disciples.”Want to go deeper in studying this command of Christ?

Who for us and for our salvation came down from heaven. If you have been with us the last few weeks in our exploration of the Nicene Creed, you might be asking, “Does all of this really matter?” We have discussed some pretty deep theological ideas. Seems like a lot to think about. Doesn’t doctrine like this divide? We might think that unity is more important than doctrinal clarity. But the bishops at Nicaea knew that the very truth of salvation was at stake. Jesus came into the world to save sinners. God sent Jesus to be born to a virgin mother, live as a man, die at the hands of Pilate, be buried in a real tomb, and then rise again for this purpose, to rescue people. Paul proclaimed this salvation in his preaching, reminding people that Jesus did for us what we could not do for ourselves. And there is salvation no where else and in no other name. To mistake Jesus’ identity and mission is to miss salvation. Furthermore, to have the right doctrine of Jesus, yet fail to authentically believe, is equally damning. Our salvation is the reason Jesus came. Our invitation is to believe the good news and be rescued.

Send us a messageBecause so-called “Progressive Christianity” is rooted in relativism, its beliefs vary widely. Some progressives believe in a higher power, but deny that Jesus ever claimed to be God. Others affirm the Trinity and the sacrifice of Jesus, but reject the Bible as the complete record of the unadulterated Word of God's Truth – and therefore is unreliable.But as Bible believing Christians, God's Holy Remnant stands on the certainty that Truth is not relative – The Inerrant Word of God is Absolute Truth!In this segment, we contend for that Truth while exposing one of Satan's devious attempts to pervert the unadulterated Word of God – to the demise of many who are falling prey to these deadly deceptions.Support the showVisit our website: https://agapelightministries.com/

Faith in a Faithless WorldScripture: Hebrews 11:6—“Without faith it is impossible to please God.”The Bible tells us that without faith, it's impossible to please God. Think about that for a moment—faith isn't optional for us as believers. It's what moves the heart of God. You can't walk with Him without it, and you can't grow without it. Faith is how we breathe in the spiritual life God gives.Strength for the Journey: A 50-Day Prayer Guide eBook: https://tinyurl.com/ebook-PreorderAccept Jesus Today https://youtube.com/shorts/bIwAUlz7Kg4?si=BNOhv44iLWIR4eVJIf you would like to accept Jesus into your heart today, pray this simple prayer:****God, I have sinned against You.

Salvation is a free gift from God. Because God's standard is perfection, no one is good enough to get to Him on their own. But Jesus suffered and died and rose again so that you could have eternal life! That's good news.

Pastor Alan R. Knapp discusses the topic of "SEE: Living by Faith at the Edge of the Eschaton Part Nine: Elected in Him" in his series entitled "Hebrews 2020: We See Jesus" This is Increment 404 and it focuses on the following verses: Ephesians 1:4; 1 Thessalonians 1:4; Hebrews 11:1; 1 Peter 1:20
Mark Booker | Exodus 13:20-14:31 | At the sea, Israel faces impossible odds but witnesses God's power to save. This foundational deliverance, which points to our greater salvation in Christ, reminds us that salvation belongs entirely to God—he makes a way where there is none.
1. Knowing Our Spiritual Blessings2. Knowing the Riches of His Grace3. Knowing the Mystery of His WillToday's sermon explored the incredible spiritual wealth that belongs to every believer in Christ. We discovered that before the foundation of the world, God chose us and predestined us for adoption as His sons and daughters. Through the riches of His grace, we have been given everything pertaining to life and godliness—not based on our merit, but according to His kind intention and will. This has profound implications for our spiritual life: we are not spiritual paupers scraping by, but heirs of God, joint-heirs with Christ, possessing every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. Understanding this transforms how we view ourselves, how we face challenges, and how we extend grace to others.Takeaways:- We possess every spiritual blessing in Christ—our past is forgiven, Christ lives in us presently, and our future is secure in Heaven. God equipped each of us equally with everything we need to fulfill His purposes for our lives.- Salvation is both a divine mystery and a divine gift—God chose us before the foundation of the world, and we respond by receiving Christ. This wasn't earned through our effort but lavished upon us according to the riches of His grace.- We are called to live thankfully, not trying to earn what has already been freely given, but responding in gratitude by living holy and blameless lives that reflect His grace to a world desperately in need of it.As we go forward this week, let us remember that we are not slaves to sin but sons and daughters of the Most High God. May we embrace the fullness of what He has given us and live lives worthy of the calling we have received—not to earn His favor, but because we already have it.

* You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2025Messages/25Oct26.pdf * Over the past two weeks, we have seen that YHWH had promised a rest from work even in His creation of the world. YHWH then declared that Israel had been able to enter into that rest because of their disbelief. David declared in Psalm 95:4 that the rest still remained for those who would not harden the hearts. Therefore, the author of the book of Hebrews urged, "Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience." We enter that rest through faith in the saving work of Jesus Christ. That rest is not for after we die, but also for while we walk on this earth and represent Christ. Last week, we saw that God gave us His Word and the High Priestly ministry of Christ to assist us in maintaining our rest in Him. * Today, we transition into fully looking into the High Priestly ministry of Christ as the intercessor of the saints, the sacrifice for sins, the mediator of the New Covenant, and the Finisher of our Faith. Today, we begin that consideration by picking up where we left off last week - considering His intercessory ministry on behalf of the saints. * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on October 26, 2025 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

Christians are a part of God's army in this Spiritual War. We have each other. God has given us a brotherhood or sisterhood of soldiers that are experiencing the same types of suffering from the enemy. The same types of attacks.
