Sermon Text“I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. Now they know that everything that you have given me is from you. For I have given them the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me. I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours. All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them. And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one. While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.”— John 17:6–19Cross References“No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known.”— John 1:18“The Lord passed before him and proclaimed, ‘The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children's children, to the third and the fourth generation.'”— Exodus 34:6–7“Behold, the hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home, and will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.”— John 16:32“They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us.”— 1 John 2:19“Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.”— Luke 22:31–32Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. -- Romans 8:3413 Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, 15 but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”-- 1 Peter 1:13-169 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.-- 1 Peter 2:938 For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me. 39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day. 40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”-- John 6:38-4019 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”-- Matthew 28:19-2019 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, 20 by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.-- Hebrews 10:19-25

Today's readings.. (Leviticus 9,10), (Psalm 108,109), (2 Corinthians 1,2)‘Sanctified' means recognized as holy, set apart from the commonplace; treating a situation or place with all reverence.  Above all, this must be our attitude toward God.  In our Leviticus reading today we see the dramatic and disastrous result of a failure to do this. Imagine being there with all the wonder of the tabernacle and the manifestation of the actual presence of God as worship in it began!  We read “the glory of the LORD appeared to all the people. And fire came out from before the LORD and consumed the burnt offerings … [9 v.23,24].  As a result human attitudes of reverence and humility should have been paramount.  The reaction at the time was totally understandable, “they shouted and fell on their faces” [v.24].Aaron had 4 sons, all were involved in assisting their father and today's chapter tells us how tragedy overwhelmed two of them.  In the way we speak today we might judge that their position of importance went to their head!  Nadab and Abihu “each took his censer and put fire in it and laid incense on it and offered unauthorized fire before the LORD which he had not commanded them” [10 v.1]The result was terrifying for they “died before the LORD” as fire from him “consumed them” [v.2]  Moses then says to Aaron, “Among those who are near me I will be sanctified, and before all the people I will be glorified” [v.3]  There is a vital lesson here for everyone who seeks to serve God and have a close relationship with him: this applies to Christians just as much as to Israelites. Several examples of a failure to do this come to mind.  One is the practice of christening of babies in many churches which is not mentioned in the Bible – or even hinted at – instead the followers of Christ practiced baptism, which is described as “an appeal to God for a good conscience” [1 Peter 3 v.21]  Another, is the teaching of people of a “different gospel” to “distort the gospel of Christ.” [Galatians 1 v.v.6,7]  Paul says, “let him be accursed” [v.9] who does that – and this is what happened to two of the sons of Aaron. A most important lesson for us as we follow Christ and the Apostles, doing so in ways which truly follow the example they set and the words they preached.

Dr. JB Hixson Mary welcomes back JB Hixson to explore a Bible topic that is both personal and practical: surrendering fully to Jesus. In John 3:29-30, we read, He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. Therefore this joy of mine is fulfilled. He must increase, but I must decrease. John was said by Jesus to be the greatest among those born of women, but the least in the kingdom. Now that is a conundrum and yet we understand the unique position John was in for all of history, and that he never saw the crucifixion or resurrection. So let’s get practical: what does that mean to decrease and give Jesus preeminence in our lives? What does this look like as the ultimate ministry model? How is the church doing on that front when we consider all the glory some ministries take for themselves? A timely hour with JB.       Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

Reverend James DevenishFPCK

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 6:9-11. When believers forget who they are, they start acting like who they were. That's exactly what was happening in Corinth. The lawsuits, the fighting, the mistreatment, the "me-first" mindset—none of it fit who they had become in Christ. So Paul brings them back to the foundation: Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. — 1 Corinthians 6:9–11 Paul's list is not gentle. He names sins the Corinthians once embraced—sins they preferred not to talk about—sins that defined how they lived, what they desired, and who they believed they were. Then he hits them with four words that change everything: "Such were some of you." Past tense. Former identity. Old life. Dead self. Not who you are anymore. The Corinthians were living as if their old identity still held power over them. Paul reminds them of the supernatural reality that reshaped their entire existence: First | You were washed. Your filth is gone, not managed. Christ didn't rinse you—He cleansed you. Second | You were sanctified. Set apart. Made holy. Placed into a new category of belonging. Third | You were justified. Declared righteous. Given a new standing before God. Not because you earned it, but because Christ secured it. This was Paul's entire point: Believers acting unrighteously had forgotten they had been made righteous. Their behavior didn't match their identity. Paul is not saying, "Try harder." He's saying, "Remember who you are." Identity fuels obedience. Identity kills sin. Identity restores relationships. Identity corrects foolishness like lawsuits, bitterness, pride, and division. And identity always begins with what Christ has done—not what we achieve. Paul drags the Corinthians out of their petty battles and back into their eternal status: Washed from who you were Sanctified for who you are Justified for who you're becoming The gospel didn't just change your destination. It changed your definition. And when you remember who you are, you start living like who you truly are. DO THIS: Slow down today and say these three truths out loud: Washed. Sanctified. Justified. Let your identity shape your obedience. ASK THIS: Which part of my old identity tries to pull me back the most? Which truth—washed, sanctified, or justified—do I struggle to believe today? How does remembering my identity change how I treat others? PRAY THIS: Father, thank You for washing me, sanctifying me, and justifying me in Christ. Help me live from this identity, not from my past. Let my life show who You've made me to be. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Who You Say I Am"

Your connections are shaping your future right now.In Part 2 of the Connections series, Pastor Sawyer unpacks a powerful biblical truth: relationships are fundamentally about connection, and who you are connected to determines the health, direction, and fruit of your life. If your primary connection is strong, everything else begins to align.Just like a phone must stay charged to function, believers must remain connected to Jesus to experience spiritual vitality, answered prayer, lasting joy, and the ability to genuinely love others. Counterfeit connections may feel satisfying for a moment, but they cannot sustain life-giving relationships.00:00 How Connections Shape Your Future00:38 Why Relationship Means Connection02:09 Digital Culture vs Authentic Connection02:51 The Charger Lesson on Staying Spiritually Connected04:56 How to Recharge Through Christ05:47 Recognizing Counterfeit Connections08:18 Abide in the Vine Explained (John 15)11:49 Love Flows From Remaining in Christ13:02 New Creation and a New Perspective (2 Corinthians 5)18:33 Adopted Into God's Family (Romans 8)19:38 Justified, Sanctified, and Righteous in Christ21:35 Why Identity Changes Everything22:10 Facing Life's Challenges With Confidence23:24 Dry Seasons and Developing Deep Roots24:34 Healing Your Identity in Christ26:58 Family Wounds and Relationship Restoration31:04 Counterfeits vs Being Filled With the Spirit34:16 Mutual Submission in Marriage Explained35:17 Biblical Marriage Roles in Ephesians 5–640:39 Protection, Respect, and Security in the Home43:58 The Armor of God for Families45:47 Stand Strong and Flourish in Christ

Pastor Al Dagel believes that we can benefit greatly from what the Bible teaches about being cleansed, set apart for the Lord, and justified through the finished work of Christ. 

Corinthians#1 1 Corinthians 1:1-9 Paul opens his letter by addressing a divided and struggling church with remarkable grace and confidence. Before correcting their behavior, he reminds them of their identity: they are called by God, sanctified in Christ, enriched in Him, and sustained by His faithfulness. Paul grounds their hope not their spiritual maturity, but in God’s unwavering commitment to finish what He started.

1. The Produce in Sanctification 2. The Power in Sanctification 3. The Purpose in Sanctification

The gospel is not a remediation program. It is not a program of moral reform.The gospel is nothing less than a radical transformation of the entire being through the sovereign work of regeneration by the Holy Spirit.And what is the evidence that this regeneration has taken place? The Lord God has sanctified me in such a way that I am a man in Christ - a completely new creation - showing forth the praises of Him who called me out of darkness into his marvelous light.

Today, we pull no punches and tackle a battle that cuts through headlines and hearts—the raging fight over ICE, law enforcement, and the rule of law. In a world seduced by disorder, paralyzed by emotion, and allergic to authority, we plant our flag on Scripture. We honor the men and women defending our borders, upholding law, restraining evil—while culture calls them villains.You want comfort? Look elsewhere. Here, we talk about sacrifice. We talk about spiritual warfare. We talk about the cost—hostility, mockery, rage, and the price of standing tall when others kneel to chaos.Jesus is STILL Lord—even when rebellion masquerades as justice. So what will YOU do when culture calls virtue “evil” and order “oppression”? Will you stand? Or will you shrink?"Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God." – Romans 13:1 The question is: Will you stand or will you surrender when the mental war rages?Episode Highlights:08:32 – This is about whether a nation can survive without the courage to enforce its own laws. This is about whether Christians will think biblically or emotionally. This is about whether truth will stand or be trampled by mob outrage. The fury surrounding ICE isn't Accidental... it's strategic. And if believers don't recognize what is actually happening, we're going to be swept into confusion instead of standing in conviction.16:16 - The truth is simple and uncomfortable. Without law and order, there is no justice, and without justice, there is no peace. Chaos doesn't produce mercy. Disorder doesn't protect the vulnerable. Lawlessness always harms the innocent first. From the opening pages of scripture, God establishes order. Creation itself is an act of divine organization. Disorder is never celebrated in the Bible. Chaos is something God restrains, not something that he applauds.38:44 – Truth spoken without love is brutality. Love without truth is deception. Faithfulness requires both. Christians have got to also reject fear-based silence. Many believers know something is wrong but remain quiet because they fear being labeled, misunderstood or outright rejected. Scripture repeatedly warns against allowing fear to dictate the obedience that we need to exhibit.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite

TItle: Sanctified HatredIntroduction: In a world where love is often celebrated, the concept of "Sanctified Hatred" might seem paradoxical. Yet, in this episode, Robert Militello invites us to explore the depths of divine justice, challenging us to understand the balance between God's love and His righteous judgment.Understanding Sanctified Hatred: Robert Militello opens the study by addressing the uncomfortable yet crucial topic of eternal torment. He emphasizes that understanding God's justice requires a willingness to confront difficult truths, such as the existence of hell and the nature of divine punishment.Theological Insights: Drawing from scripture, brother Militello presents theological arguments that highlight the necessity of justice in the divine order. He explains that God's hatred is not born out of malice but is a response to sin, a necessary counterpart to His love.Balancing Love and Justice: The episode delves into the balance between love and justice, urging listeners to reflect on their own beliefs. Militello argues that to truly love what God loves, one must also hate what He hates, a concept that challenges modern perceptions of morality.Conclusion: As the episode concludes, listeners are left with a profound understanding of the complexities of divine justice. Militello's insights encourage a deeper reflection on the nature of God.Send us a textEmail us at thatsinthebible@gmail.comWebsite: thatsinthebible.comOur podcast theme song "Jesus Is Coming Soon", courtesy of His Reflection a Gospel Quartet from Buckley Road Baptist Church, Liverpool, NY.

How should the church relate to its elders?  And, really, how should the elders, current and potential, relate to one another?

Preached at Watered Garden Church

What even is the Gospel? I think we tend to paint a pretty weak, incomplete picture of this incredible gift from God. His gift is SO much better. His death on the cross purchased SO much more than we tend to describe. Don't cheat yourself out of all God has for you.  This is a series about the Gospel. This is part two.. Sanctified in Christ.

In this sermon from Colossians, pastor Joel turs helps us answer the question, "How shall we then live?", as those who have called on the name of the Lord in baptism. What we will see is that, being rooted in Christ, renewed in mind, and remade in heart, we embody thankfulness through His Spirit. And the world needs the people of God to be who they truly are.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 1:1-3. Have you ever forgotten who you are? Not your name. Your identity. The core of who God says you are. Because life has a way of chipping at that, doesn't it? One comment from someone who doesn't really know you… One failure you can't stop replaying… One season where you feel more worn out than useful… And suddenly you're questioning everything. That's exactly why Paul opens this letter the way he does. He doesn't start with correction. He starts with identity. Paul, called by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and our brother Sosthenes, To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. — 1 Corinthians 1:1–3 Corinth was a moral circus. A city where everything was loud, proud, fast, and compromised. But Paul looks straight at this messy church and says, You're God's people. You're sanctified. You're called saints. Not because they earned it. Not because their behavior proved it. Because Jesus did the work and placed His name on them. And here's the takeaway for you today: Culture doesn't get to name you. Christ already did. You are: Sanctified — set apart by God. Called — chosen for His purposes. Blessed — grace and peace belong to you. Paul says all that before addressing a single issue… because identity always comes before behavior. When you remember who you are, you start living like who you are. DO THIS: Speak your identity out loud today. "I am sanctified in Christ and called by God." Say it before you walk into work… before you see your family… before you face that thing that makes you doubt yourself. ASK THIS: Where have you let the culture tell you who you are instead of Christ? What false label do you need to lay down today? How would your decisions change if you fully lived like a "called saint"? PRAY THIS: Jesus, remind me today who I am in You. Strip away every false label and anchor my heart in Your grace. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Who You Say I Am"

Message SlidessThe Purpose of 1 Peter - Karen JobesStrange Religion - Nijay GuptaStrange Religion Expanded - Nijay GuptaThe Trinity and Salvation - SwindollPeter: Upon this Rock - Brian LitfinINTRODUCTION: παρεπίδημος - Strangers, Sojourners, Aliens (1:1)“living as a long-term resident in a land where you do not have citizenshipand you still live by the laws and culture of your true homeland.”Chosen by God(The Trinitarian Foundation of Salvation)• Chosen by God: Salvation begins with God's choice (1:2a).• Sanctified by the Spirit: Salvation progresses by the work of the Spirit (1:2b).• Redeemed by Jesus Christ: Salvation is accomplished by and for Jesus (1:2c).A Living Hope(The Past, Present & Future of Salvation)• Worship: The right response to the glories of salvation is praise (1:3a).• New Birth: Salvation is a new identity, a new family, and a new start (1:3b).• Living Hope: The hope of salvation is the resurrection of Jesus Christ (1:3b).• Imperishable Inheritance: The full possession of salvation is in heaven (1:4).• Future Salvation: Final Salvation is guaranteed by the power of God (1:5).The glories of salvation are based in the work of the Trinity,secure as a future inheritance of Christ-like resurrection and,assured by God's power to be fully possessed in heaven.Home Church QuestionsIntroduction: Strangers, Sojourners, Aliens (1:1)1. In what ways do you currently feel like an alien or outsider in the world (e.g., culturally, morally, relationally)? How does knowing you are “chosen by God” reshape that feeling?2. If this world is not our ultimate home, how should that truth affect the priorities and investments we make day-to-day (time, money, relationships, ambitions)?Chosen by God: The Trinitarian Foundation of Salvation (1:2)3. The text says we are chosen “for obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood.” How does understanding election (being chosen by God) motivate obedience?4. Sanctification by the Spirit is an ongoing process. Where have you seen evidence of the Spirit's sanctifying work in your life recently?Where do you sense resistance or need for greater surrender?A Living Hope: The Past, Present & Future of Salvation (1:3–5)5. How does Christ's resurrection give your hope a quality that is different from mere optimism or positive thinking?6. How does meditating on this heavenly inheritance free you from fear, envy, or over-attachment here and now?7. What does it mean to you that God Himself is actively protecting your faith and future salvation? How does this truth bring comfort when you feel spiritually vulnerable or when faith feels weak?8. Peter begins by focusing on the glories of salvation rather than their suffering. Why do you think he does this?UPG FOCUS: The Deaf in Pakistan The Deaf live with significant isolation due to communication barriers. Few people know Pakistan Sign Language, limiting education, work, and relationships. Most are Muslim with almost no access to Scripture or gospel resources they can understand. Pray for God to reveal Christ to the Deaf of Pakistan through dreams, visions, and clear communication. Ask for sign-language Scripture efforts to advance and for workers to love and serve this unreached community.FinancesWeekly Budget 34,615Giving For 12/21 30,280Giving For 12/28 23,342YTD Budget 900,000Giving 850,872 OVER/(UNDER) (49,128) Fellowship 101New to Fellowship?

Allie welcomes Skillet front man, John Cooper, for a heartfelt Christmas episode. They unpack the backlash to Skillet's heavy metal “O Come, O Come Emmanuel” and dispel any misconceptions that it is demonic. John shares about his own faith journey from strict legalism to rock gospel and highlights the power of music in evangelism. Amid controversy, John shares how a TV commercial featuring a song by him led two adult industry workers to find Christ and how the death of Charlie Kirk influenced the recording session for Skillet's latest single. Tune in for raw faith, redemption stories, and why true worship defies genre lines.
