On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're addressing the troubling reality of the Epstein list and Donald Trump's failure to bring it to light, holding it up to the standard of biblical justice. God's Word commands that evil be exposed, not hidden in the darkness. I also take time to answer a variety of questions from you, my beloved audience.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee
Pastor Jesus Arriaga explains how the priests' washing at the tabernacle points to our ongoing need for purity before God, now made possible through Jesus and the daily cleansing of God's Word. He urges cultivating a steady rhythm in Scripture so God transforms our heart and mind.
Following Jesus is a journey of transformation and sanctification. It begins when we go “in” through Him, continues as we go all in with our lives, requires us to go without the things that hold us back, and calls us to go all the way through the refining process. Sanctification is not instant. It is the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit shaping us into the image of Christ. Even with rough edges, God is faithfully making us holy and completing the good work He began in us.
Forging is violent. It's hot. It's pressure.And it's what God uses to shape a man into who he was made to be.In Daniel 3, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego stand in the fire—not because God failed, but because He's forming something. Sanctification isn't what earns our place in God's family. It's what proves it.In this episode, we break down:Why spiritual pressure is often confirmation—not contradiction—of your callingWhat biblical manhood looks like under trialThe truth about worship and the subtle tyranny of compromiseHow Daniel's friends changed a king by refusing to bowThe real meaning of sanctification and how it shapes everything from family to legacyIf you're feeling heat in your home, your work, or your soul—this is for you.Kavod Family is a 501(c)(3) Non-profit Christian Ministry.
What does it truly mean to live a holy and sanctified life in today's world? In this sermon, Pastor Donnie McClurkin draws from 2 Corinthians 7:1 to teach the importance of separating from sin and unholy practices. He addresses the misconception that grace gives permission to continue in sin, reminding us that true believers are called to live free from carnality and worldly influences. Pastor McClurkin also warns against modern religious compromises, calls for a return to Biblical standards, and urges personal repentance with a crucified flesh. He sheds light on the dangers of false prophets and emphasizes the vital need to maintain a strong, unshakable relationship with God. Holiness is not optional. It is the daily commitment to walk in purity, reject compromise, and pursue God wholeheartedly.

New Testament Reading 1 Corinthians 13
Reformed Brotherhood | Sound Doctrine, Systematic Theology, and Brotherly Love
In this episode of The Reformed Brotherhood, Jesse Schwamb takes listeners on a deep theological journey into the distinction between law and gospel. Drawing from Martin Luther's theological insights, Jesse explores how these two words from God—the law and the gospel—reveal His righteousness and intersect with Christian living. He reflects on the ways the law exposes sin and reveals the justice of God, while the gospel offers the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ. This timely discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding how God's law and gospel work in harmony to declare His glory and transform lives. Jesse unpacks the theology of the cross versus the theology of glory, highlighting how the gospel is scandalously counterintuitive, displaying God's power through weakness and Christ's ultimate act of obedience—His death on the cross. Through thought-provoking metaphors and personal reflections, he illustrates how the law's demands drive us to despair but ultimately point us to the gospel, where we find redemption and freedom in Christ. The episode also delves into the transformative power of the gospel, contrasting it with the law's inability to save. Jesse encourages listeners to consider how the gospel empowers obedience, not as a means of earning righteousness, but as a response to the righteousness imputed to us by Christ. This episode is rich in theological depth and practical application, providing a framework for understanding God's justice, mercy, and love.
The sound of a hammer against steel is unmistakable in knife forging. Sparks flying and the ringing of steel against steel is all part of what it takes to take a worthless piece of iron from the ground and turn it into something beautiful and useful. On today's program, we will meet a young man with a passion for turning something seemingly useless into something that is beautiful and useful to the master. He's a knife maker and he uses a forge to not only share a Gospel Message, but to teach through discipleship those who are looking to be forged into what God wants them to be.
God loves us exactly as we are, but too much to let us stay that way. In the Bible, the process by which God changes a person and makes them more holy is called "sanctification." Sanctification isn't anything we can do on our own; we need an outside force. That's where the Holy Spirit comes in.
Sanctification is about so much more than just not sinning. It's about living in all the fullness that we already have in Christ. The post The FULL EXTENT of Sanctification (Pt6) appeared first on Ryan Rufus.
SummaryIn this stirring message from Wayman Wednesday, Pastor Wayman Mitchell calls believers to a life of radical commitment, sacrifice, and sanctification. Using Acts 21 as his primary text, Pastor Mitchell challenges Christians to remove all boundaries in serving God—whether in ministry, outreach, holiness, or personal sacrifice.With vivid illustrations from military service, missionary work, and scripture, he confronts the modern church's comfort-driven mindset and calls for a generation willing to say, “Whatever it takes” to fulfill the will of God.Key Scriptures:Acts 21:10–14, 261 Timothy 1:12Jonah 1:1–32 Corinthians 4:5, 12:15Nehemiah 4:13–151 Thessalonians 4:3–4Titus 2:11–12Chapters00:00 – Introduction: Wayman Wednesday on Taking the Land Podcast01:36 – A Conference Filled with God's Presence03:58 – The World's Mentality: No Longer Worth Fighting For04:53 – The Church's Need for Paul's Spirit07:10 – Commitment Over Personal Preference08:35 – Choosing God Over Secular Priorities10:06 – The Will of the Lord Be Done12:03 – Lessons from Military Commitment13:47 – Guerrilla Teams & Outreach Mindset15:53 – Understanding We Are at War17:19 – No Excuses: Whatever It Takes18:51 – Sacrifice: A Lost Word in Today's Church20:54 – Paul's Willingness to Suffer for Christ23:01 – Examples of “Whatever It Takes” in Scripture24:43 – Sanctification in a Prophetic Generation26:20 – Holiness vs. Religious Appearance27:42 – The Call to Purification and Set-Apart Living29:52 – Possessing Your Vessel in Honor31:08 – Avoiding Sinful Entertainment31:36 – Holiness is for Every Believer33:39 – Sanctifying the Lord in Your Heart34:28 – Removing Boundaries in Serving God35:43 – Whatever It Takes: Even in Giving36:54 – Consecration in Attitudes and Relationships38:29 – Reverence in Prayer39:34 – Biblical Responses to God's Presence40:51 – Isaiah's Vision of the Lord41:13 – Jacob's Encounter with God42:07 – Closing Challenge: Whatever It TakesShow NotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!

Aug 3, 2025GRAND PARKWAY BAPTIST CHURCHNeil McClendon, Lead PastorGrand Parkway Baptist Church The Kingdom And The Power ThereofMatthew 3:1-12Purpose of Matthew a) tell the story of Jesus b) apologetic and evangelistic c) explore the reality of the Kingdom d) catechetical- to teach the truths of Christianity and their ethical implications1. The proportionality of repentance, v. 1-3The Kingdom of heaven/God is best understood by two words… a) reign b) realm2. The requirement of baptism, v. 4-10 a) confession, v. 6 b) demonstration, v. 7-9Repentance is a change of mind and actions wherein we cease our approval of wickedness (in others) and justification of bad behavior (in self). It is foremost a decisive reorientation of one's life away from the self and toward the Lord. But this subsequent repentance flows from and confirms the initial act wherein we realize our desperate state, admit our need of pardon and come to Jesus in a childlike manner.c) sanctification, v.10“Sanctification is a progressive work of God and man that makes us more and more free from sin and like Christ in our actual lives.” -Wayne Grudem, Systematic TheologyGalatians 5:22-24“Repentance is an inward matter, which has its seat in the heart and soul, but afterwards yields its fruits in a change of life.” - John Calvin3. The moreness of Jesus' baptism., v. 11-12-Romans 8:9-11a) Holy Spirit- the person of Godb) fire- the power of GodMental worship… 1. Do you spend more time asking God to bless your will or submitting to His? 2. How would you describe the Kingdom of God in one sentence? 3. What do you point to on the outside that is proof that you have been changed on the inside? 4. What do you walk away wanting to think more about this morning? 5. Which do you seek more often, forgiveness or fire? 6. How do you keep your love for God from getting cold?
There is a time for everything, but who controls that time? We are created beings and not God. This chapter of Ecclesiastes reminds us of our limitations and how those limitations point us to an eternal God.

In today's podcast, Bob Bashawaty joins Randy to talk about Justification, Sanctification, and the importance of Personal Spiritual Discipline.
Therapy is often seen as an answer as people grapple with personal struggles and look for direction and peace. While therapy may have its place, it is essential that followers of Christ keep their eyes on Him, understanding Scripture as the source of truth and the center of gravity in their lives.
• Saved from the POWER of sin: sanctification • What happens to our sin nature when we are saved? • What IS sanctification? • What to do in the ongoing battle with our sin nature • Examples of “saved” from the power of sin • What about the person who never shows any spiritual growth? Do you understand the difference between justification and sanctification? Listen to this lesson to learn that justification occurs when someone trusts in Christ as their Savior and God declares them positionally righteous. Sanctification, on the other hand, follows justification and is a daily choice to study God's Word, confess sin, and pray in order to grow to spiritual maturity. We cannot accomplish this on our own but only by means of the Holy Spirit who indwells us. Learn all the details of this important blessing for all believers.

Pastoral ministry is not about filling empty seats but about seeing souls conformed to Christ. In this fourth sermon from our Summer Series, Pastor John MacArthur opens Galatians and exhorts pastors to embrace the sacred agony of shepherding their people toward holiness.
Why does keeping Christ's commandments matter so much? Because obedience leads to intimacy. Jesus promises to manifest Himself to those who treasure His words (John 14:21). As we keep His commands, we receive His love, experience answered prayer, grow in joy, and reflect His heart to others. In loving Him this way, we find life and lasting fellowship.In this series, we've seen that true love for Christ is shown by keeping His commandments—not to earn His favor, but because we already have it. As we treasure His Word, He transforms our minds, fills our hearts, and draws us into deeper intimacy. Obedience is not a burden, but a pathway into the joy and presence of the One we love.Want to go deeper in studying this command of Christ?

Back To Basics // Week 13 // SanctificationPastors JF and Ashley Wilkerson1 Thessalonians 4:1-3a NIV1 As for other matters, brothers and sisters, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more. 2 For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. 3 It is God's will that you should be sanctified…but youSanctification Involves…1. Being Saved And Then ShapedIsaiah 64:8 NIV8 Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your handJeremiah 18:1–4 NIV1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 2 “Go down to the potter's house, and there I will give you my message.” 3 So I went down to the potter's house, and I saw him working at the wheel. 4 But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him.Sanctification Involves…1. Being Saved And Then Shaped2. Being Refined So You Can Reveal1 Peter 1:6–7 NIV6 In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7 These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.Daniel 3:16-18 NIV16 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to him, “King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. 17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty's hand. 18 But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.”Daniel 3:23-25 NIV23 and these three men, firmly tied, fell into the blazing furnace. 24 Then King Nebuchadnezzar leaped to his feet in amazement and asked his advisers, “Weren't there three men that we tied up and threw into the fire?” They replied, “Certainly, Your Majesty.” 25 He said, “Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods.”Daniel 3:26-28 NIVSanctification Involves…1. Being Saved And Then Shaped2. Being Refined So You Can Reveal3. Being Rooted So Not To Be RestlessJohn 15:1-4 NIV1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.John 15:5-9 NIV5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. 9 “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.Sanctification is not achieving, it is abiding.It's about trusting deeper, not trying harder.Philippians 2:12-13 NIV12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.Galatians 3:1-3 NIV1 You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. 2 I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard? 3 Are you so foolish? After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh?1 Thessalonians 5:15-24 NIVPhilippians 1:6 NIV6 Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion…Sanctification Involves…1.
