Scripture Reference: Hebrews 1:1-2a Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey captured the imaginations of the world this summer. The story of the Epic Quest resonates even with modern audiences.

Join us as Pastor Tommy speaks on Sarah's faith. Sarah's story is one of the most relatable in all of Scripture. Yet when Hebrews 11 looks back over Sarah's life, it doesn't remember her for her laughter, her doubt, or her failures. Sarah's story reminds us that God's timing is not our timing, but His faithfulness never fails. He keeps His promises. He redeems our stories. And He has the final word.Scripture Reference: Hebrews 11:11 To get connected visit: https://www.midtownvineyardchurch.com...To Donate https://midtownvineyard.churchcenter....

Join us as Pastor Tommy teaches on Abraham's faithfulness. Abraham's faith was surprisingly simple. He obeyed. And he went. Hebrews does not celebrate the destination as much as it celebrates the first step. Abraham teaches us that faith is movement. Faith trusts God's promises enough to leave what is comfortable, obey what He says, and follow Him into the unknown.Scripture Reference: Hebrews 11:8
Join us as Pastor Tommy continues the sermon series Big Faith. Abel becomes the first person named in Scripture's great Hall of Faith. Yet unlike Noah, Abraham, or Moses, Abel never builds anything, leads anyone, writes anything, or accomplishes anything remarkable by the world's standards.

Scripture Reference: Hebrews 1:1-4
He Gets Us#RTTBROS #Nightlight"For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin." — Hebrews 4:15Eric Liddell is one of the most remarkable Christian athletes who ever lived. Most people know him from the film Chariots of Fire, the Scottish sprinter who refused to run on Sunday at the 1924 Paris Olympics because of his convictions, then went on to win gold in a race that wasn't even his specialty. What fewer people know is what happened after the glory days.Liddell went to China as a missionary and was eventually captured by Japanese forces during World War II and interned in a prison camp at Weihsien. He spent his final years not in stadiums, but behind barbed wire, ministering to fellow prisoners, tutoring children, and organizing sports for the internees to keep their spirits alive. He died in that camp in February 1945, just five months before it was liberated.One of the testimonies that came out of that camp afterward was the account of a young man who had been struggling terribly with despair. He went to Liddell and poured out his heart, and Liddell didn't offer him platitudes. He said, "I know what it is to have everything stripped away and to wonder what God is doing." He had lived it. He had run in glory and he had suffered in a prison camp, and because of that, the young man felt genuinely understood. Not just advised. Understood.That is a pale picture of what Jesus offers us in Hebrews 4:15. The writer tells us that our High Priest, Jesus Himself, was touched with the feeling of our infirmities. He was tempted in all points as we are. He knew hunger, exhaustion, grief, betrayal, loneliness, and physical agony. He wept at a graveside. He sweat drops of blood in a garden. He cried out from a cross.When you bring your pain to Jesus, you are not bringing it to someone who has only read about suffering in a book. You are bringing it to the One who entered into the full weight of human experience and carried it without sin. He is not a distant God who looks down from a comfortable heaven and offers you theological explanations. He is a Savior who says, "I know. I have been there. Come to me."Whatever you are carrying tonight, He understands it at a depth no one else can reach.Let's pray: Lord Jesus, thank You for not staying at a distance. Thank You for entering into our pain, our temptation, our sorrow. Because You understand, we can come boldly to You tonight with everything we are carrying. In Your precious name, Amen.#BibleWisdomDaily #BiblicalWisdomTeaching #ChristianWisdom #Faith #DailyDevotion #TrustGod #SpiritualGrowth #RTTBROS #NightlightBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe, it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbrosSHOW NOTESEpisode Title: A High Priest Who Knows | Nightlight with RTTBROSEpisode Description:This Nightlight episode with RTTBROS offers bible wisdom daily rooted in Hebrews 4:15 and a truth that changes everything about prayer: Jesus doesn't just hear your pain, He has felt it.

Life can feel like a storm, can't it? The Bible, God's book of truth, promises this, “...we who have fled to him [that means Jesus] for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us. This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls.” At the cross, Jesus secured our forgiveness; when He was raised to life, He offered us unending life. And this is His promise: if you're anchored to Him, you will not be alone in life's storms. Do you want to take hold of God and allow Him to anchor you? Start now by praying with me: “Jesus, be my anchor. Thank You for offering me life through Your death on the cross. I choose to fasten my hope to You. Hold me steady, teach me Your ways, and help me to know You. Amen.” Always remember, there is hope with God. Scripture Reference: Hebrews 6:18-19 radio.hopewithgod.com
What is the Church—and why does it matter? In this message from our Church Series, we look at what Scripture says about the Church, the real challenges it faces, and the unshakable hope Jesus gives His people. From the bad news of a real enemy who seeks to discourage and divide (1 Peter 5:8), to the good news that Jesus is building His Church and nothing can stop it (Matthew 16:18), this sermon invites us to see the Church not just as a place we attend—but a people we belong to. The Church was never intended to be a place we go, but a people who gather around a great truth...Jesus Changes Everything. OUTLINE:Bad News 1 Peter 5:8Some News 1 Peter 5:8Good News Matthew 16:18 QUESTIONS:When you think of the Church, what comes to mind first-building, service, family, mission? Why do you think that's your first picture? What does the Bible say the church is? (1 Peter 2:9-12)The Bible tells us that we have an enemy who seeks to devour us. Where have you grown weary or lost heart in ministry, community or relationships? What has been discouraging you about church or serving?Where do you see God working in our body? What is one simple step you sense God is calling you to to build up the body at Hillside? SCRIPTURE REFERENCE:Hebrews 10:23-25NEXT WEEK:John 17:13-21
Fourth Sunday in Advent The Branch From Jesse 11 A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit. 2 The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him— the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord— 3 and he will delight in the fear of the Lord. He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes, or decide by what he hears with his ears; 4 but with righteousness he will judge the needy, with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked. 5 Righteousness will be his belt and faithfulness the sash around his waist. 6 The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling[a] together; and a little child will lead them. 7 The cow will feed with the bear, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox. 8 The infant will play near the cobra's den, and the young child will put its hand into the viper's nest. 9 They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. 10 In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to him, and his resting place will be glorious.

Who do you turn to when you have an emergency? Maybe you have close friends or family who help you out when bad times come. Or maybe you're doing your best to just cope with life's struggles on your own. Whatever the case may be, when troubles come, you can turn with confidence to God. He is the One with the power, and the desire, and the commitment to really help you. Whether you know Him or not, He's already made you a promise—He's just waiting for you to say yes. Here's what God's book of truth says about His promise: So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us. This is a promise for you today. Come to God and find refuge. Always remember, there is hope with God. Scripture Reference: Hebrews 6:18 radio.hopewithgod.com

Episode 172: Ways to Engage Jesus in Everyday LifeHow do we engage Jesus in the process of everyday life? 1. To engage Him in our day to day activities, we must invite Him in and ask for His help.2. We should engage Jesus in our daily decisions. Invite Jesus in and ask for His wisdom and His help as you make simple decisions and difficult decisions.3. We are to engage Him in all areas - including our finances, filing our taxes, etc. - and let Him guide us.4.. As you set goals, make plans, or take your next steps - engage Jesus into the process of setting these goals, making these plans, and taking these steps. Allow time to pray - maybe even 30 days - praying and listening.5. Engaging is talking, listening, and reading God's word. Allow some quiet time and wait to hear from Him. Practice engaging the presence of Jesus.6. Engage Jesus in the hard season. Seek Him - not for the answer - but because He IS The Answer. Engage Him because this is the time that you can grow and see your faith strengthened. He wastes nothing and He redeems everything.7. Engage Him and ask Him to help you lead others to Him.Scripture Reference: Hebrews 1:1-3 We hope this is an encouragement to you.CONNECT WITH US AT:▶︎Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/EngageforMore▶︎Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/engageformore/Engage for More is a Top 100 Christian Podcast on the Feedspot List.
