August 2, 2025; Out of Many, One: Claiming Our Unity in Christ by Rev. Brady Whitton; Scripture Lesson 1 Corinthians 10:16-17; www.FirstMethodist.org
This message was given at Greenfield Presbyterian Church in Berkley, MI. The Scripture Lesson is Luke 12:13-21 Warning against greed 13 Someone from the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” 14 Jesus said to him, “Man, who appointed me as judge or referee between you and your brother?” 15 Then Jesus said to them, “Watch out! Guard yourself against all kinds of greed. After all, one's life isn't determined by one's possessions, even when someone is very wealthy.” 16 Then he told them a parable: “A certain rich man's land produced a bountiful crop. 17 He said to himself, What will I do? I have no place to store my harvest! 18 Then he thought, Here's what I'll do. I'll tear down my barns and build bigger ones. That's where I'll store all my grain and goods. 19 I'll say to myself, You have stored up plenty of goods, enough for several years. Take it easy! Eat, drink, and enjoy yourself. 20 But God said to him, ‘Fool, tonight you will die. Now who will get the things you have prepared for yourself?' 21 This is the way it will be for those who hoard things for themselves and aren't rich toward God.”
Welcome to the Father's Day Service at Greenfield Presbyterian Church in Berkley, MI. The Scripture Lesson for today is Genesis 17:1-14 God's covenant with Abraham 17 When Abram was 99 years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am El Shaddai. Walk with me and be trustworthy. 2 I will make a covenant between us and I will give you many, many descendants.” 3 Abram fell on his face, and God said to him, 4 “But me, my covenant is with you; you will be the ancestor of many nations. 5 And because I have made you the ancestor of many nations, your name will no longer be Abram but Abraham. 6 I will make you very fertile. I will produce nations from you, and kings will come from you. 7 I will set up my covenant with you and your descendants after you in every generation as an enduring covenant. I will be your God and your descendants' God after you. 8 I will give you and your descendants the land in which you are immigrants, the whole land of Canaan, as an enduring possession. And I will be their God.” 9 God said to Abraham, “As for you, you must keep my covenant, you and your descendants in every generation. 10 This is my covenant that you and your descendants must keep: Circumcise every male. 11 You must circumcise the flesh of your foreskins, and it will be a symbol of the covenant between us. 12 On the eighth day after birth, every male in every generation must be circumcised, including those who are not your own children: those born in your household and those purchased with silver from foreigners. 13 Be sure you circumcise those born in your household and those purchased with your silver. Your flesh will embody my covenant as an enduring covenant. 14 Any uncircumcised male whose flesh of his foreskin remains uncircumcised will be cut off from his people. He has broken my covenant.”
Welcome to the Service of Pentecost at Greenfield Presbyterian Church in Berkley, MI. The Scripture Lesson for today is Acts 2:1-21 Pentecost 2 When Pentecost Day arrived, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound from heaven like the howling of a fierce wind filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be individual flames of fire alighting on each one of them. 4 They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages as the Spirit enabled them to speak. 5 There were pious Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem. 6 When they heard this sound, a crowd gathered. They were mystified because everyone heard them speaking in their native languages. 7 They were surprised and amazed, saying, “Look, aren't all the people who are speaking Galileans, every one of them? 8 How then can each of us hear them speaking in our native language? 9 Parthians, Medes, and Elamites; as well as residents of Mesopotamia, Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the regions of Libya bordering Cyrene; and visitors from Rome (both Jews and converts to Judaism), 11 Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the mighty works of God in our own languages!” 12 They were all surprised and bewildered. Some asked each other, “What does this mean?” 13 Others jeered at them, saying, “They're full of new wine!” 14 Peter stood with the other eleven apostles. He raised his voice and declared, “Judeans and everyone living in Jerusalem! Know this! Listen carefully to my words! 15 These people aren't drunk, as you suspect; after all, it's only nine o'clock in the morning! 16 Rather, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel: 17 In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young will see visions. Your elders will dream dreams. 18 Even upon my servants, men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. 19 I will cause wonders to occur in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and a cloud of smoke. 20 The sun will be changed into darkness, and the moon will be changed into blood, before the great and spectacular day of the Lord comes. 21 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
Welcome to the sixth Sunday of the Eastertide at Greenfield Presbyterian Church in Berkley, MI. Eastertide continues until Pentecost on June 8, 2025. The Scripture Lesson for today is Ecclesiastes 4:1-12. Death is better than oppression 4 When I next observed all the oppressions that take place under the sun, I saw the tears of the oppressed—and they have no one to comfort them. Their oppressors wield power—but they have no one to comfort them. 2 So I declare that the dead, who have already died, are more fortunate than the living, who are still alive. 3 But happier than both are those who have never existed, who haven't witnessed the terrible things that happen under the sun. Envy and loneliness 4 I also observed that people work hard and become good at what they do only out of mutual envy. This too is pointless, just wind chasing. Fools fold their hands and eat their own flesh. But better is resting with one handful than working hard for two fistfuls and chasing after wind. 7 Next, I saw under the sun something else that was pointless: 8 There are people who are utterly alone, with no companions, not even a child or a sibling. Yet they work hard without end, never satisfied with their wealth. So for whom am I working so hard and depriving myself of enjoyment? This too is pointless and a terrible obsession. 9 Two are better than one because they have a good return for their hard work. 10 If either should fall, one can pick up the other. But how miserable are those who fall and don't have a companion to help them up! 11 Also, if two lie down together, they can stay warm. But how can anyone stay warm alone? 12 Also, one can be overpowered, but two together can put up resistance. A three-ply cord doesn't easily snap.

Show Notes:I'm here to share with you not necessarily HOW to be confident, but what to EXPECT when you want to be confident. I looked up some verses from the Bible that speak on confidence and wanted to share those with you. I often feel like it's nice to have something you can go back to that will help anchor the mindset you desire to have & something that will comfort you in times of wanting to give up.Philippians 4:13, “For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.”In context, this scripture is Paul expressing how he didn't need anyone to worry about him because he had figured out how to live through anything, with whatever he had because he had so much faith & belief in God to help & take care of him. 2 Timothy 1:7, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.”In context, Paul was telling Timothy to not just sit on the gifts he was given, but to use them and not be ashamed to do so because God has not given him (and all of us) a spirit of fear. He also mentioned that Timothy shouldn't be ashamed of telling people about the Lord, either.When you're confident, you HAVE to believe in yourself. Believe you came up with a good idea or plan.Believe you can figure out how to get it accomplished.Believe you can get the help you need.Believe you can get through whatever setbacks happen.Believe you're worthy of doing this thing.And believe that it's a success, whether it turned out the way you wanted or not.It's the noise around us that prevents us from believing we can do it. We put too much stock into other people's opinions, wanting to impress people that don't really care that much about us, and allowing our past experiences & mistakes to limit us. We need to break free from all that mess and go all in on what we know deep down inside is enough.And, if you need EVEN MORE convincing, God tells us we are his masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10) & have been renewed in Him to do great things. If we are so loved & valued by the God of the Universe, we are good enough to do whatever we are called to do.So, let's go over our dos & don'ts for being confident:Confident people aren't afraid to say NO.Confident people respect themselves.Confident people aren't afraid to tell the truth.Confident people embrace making mistakes & experiencing failures.Confident people don't need to overpower others to get their point across.Confident people embrace and are flexible to change.Confident people don't need to prove themselves to anyone.Confident people find no benefit in being envious or jealous of what other people are doing & accomplishing.Support the showWatch the Video Version of RPG: https://www.youtube.com/@realpositivegirl/podcastsBuy the Planner on AMAZON!: https://amzn.to/3WwthT2Visit me on Instagram or TikTok: @sabrinajoyperozzoTwitter: @realsabrinajoyEmail Me: realpositivegirlpodcast@gmail.com Sign up for my weekly newsletter https://www.sabrinajoy.com/newsletterCashApp Show Donations: $sabrinaperozzo
