Your spiritual gifts determine how God wants to use your life.  Are you willing to allow God to use your life, for His glory, to build the kingdom of God?  Are you willing to say “yes” to God?Main Points:1. The Bible has a lot to say about spiritual gifts.  There are at least 20 of them listed in the Bible.  We don't have time to define them all today, but you can read about them in these passages of Scripture:  Romans 12, 1 Corinthians 12, and Ephesians 4.  2. Peter contends that each of us has received at least one spiritual gift when he states, “As each one has received a gift.” These gifts of grace are to be distinguished from natural talents, skills, and abilities.3. What this tells us is that God wants to use our lives uniquely. He has gifted and enabled us to serve Him and others. God intends for your life to be a blessing to others. You have a particular role in the work of God, and by the Holy Spirit, God has given you a gift to make this happen.Today's Scripture Verses:1 Peter 4:10-11 - “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ.”Romans 12:6 – “We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us.”1 Corinthians 7:7 – “But each of you has your own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

Dick Griffith shares Monday's devotional podcast from Bible Fellowship Church. [Scripture: Romans 11]

Why do we keep doing the very things we hate? Paul wrestled with this same question in Romans 7, and if we're honest, so do we. We want to do good, but sin trips us up. We make promises, but our flesh craves shortcuts. We even create conflict just so we can justify sin. In this message, we uncover the lie that sin will somehow work for us—even though it's never worked for anyone else in history. We'll explore why we can't trust our own hearts, why God's commands are necessary, and how the RELATE process helps us break free from predictable patterns of destruction. If you've ever asked, “Why do I keep messing up?”—this sermon will give you clarity, hope, and the good news that Jesus Christ is the One who sets us free.

What if a better marriage starts not with more work, but with changing the way you think? This week we're sitting down with author and speaker Ted Lowe to talk about his book Us in Mind and the simple things that separate happy couples from struggling ones.

Whether your marriage feels stuck or just needs a little spark, we hope this conversation leaves you encouraged and equipped to do the next right thing.Episode Recap:How are great marriages different from struggling marriages? (6:42)Happy couples think in a way that unhappy couples don't (8:42)“Madly in love” couples focus on what they do love about their spouse, not what they don't (12:00)What you think about yourself affects how you interact with your spouse (17:08)Why do celebrations make such a big difference in our marriages? (25:12)Empathy is huge for happy marriages (30:01)Two words that changed Ted's marriage (33:53) For Christians, our marriages are not just about us (38:44)Scripture: Romans 12:2 “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”Philippians 4:8 – “Whatever is true, whatever is noble… think about such things.”Discussion Questions:How does the way you think about your spouse shape the way you act toward them?Ted talked about “seeing the best” in your spouse. What does that look like in your marriage right now?Why is empathy so powerful in marriage? How could you practice “stepping into the puddle” with your spouse this week?How do you typically respond to your spouse's successes or joys? What's one way you can celebrate with them more intentionally?Which of Ted's practical shifts (empathy, celebration, reframing thoughts, writing notes, pausing in conflict) feels most helpful for your current season of marriage?Marriage is meant to reflect the love of Christ.

SCRIPTURE - Romans 9:27-33SERIES - Romans: Righteousness By FaithSPEAKER - Pastor Cory Taylor

"Loving God with All Your Mind" - The Jesus Creed Series (Week 5) Scripture: Romans 12:1-2 In this fifth installment of our Jesus Creed series, we explored what it means to love God with our intellectual life, addressing the false divide between faith and reason that permeates our culture. Drawing from Paul's call to "be transformed by the renewing of your mind" in Romans 12:1-2, we discovered that our minds are gifts from God designed to know truth, not accidents of evolution. Key Message: Loving God with all your mind means thinking God's thoughts after Him, letting His truth transform your thinking, and using your intellectual abilities to know Him and serve others. The message examined four crucial truths: how our minds are gifts from God designed to know truth, why mind renewal requires intentional engagement with Scripture rather than passive cultural absorption, how intellectual honesty includes both asking hard questions and accepting biblical answers, and why a renewed mind serves God by thinking biblically about every area of life—work, relationships, money, entertainment, and civic engagement. We learned that our minds will either be conformed to worldly thinking or transformed by God's truth—there's no neutral ground. True intellectual honesty means having both the courage to wrestle with difficult questions and the humility to accept biblical answers even when they conflict with our preferences or cultural pressure. The sermon concluded with the reminder that loving God with our minds isn't compartmentalized to theology but affects every decision we make, from how we treat colleagues to how we handle our finances to how we engage with politics and entertainment. Perfect for: Anyone who's been told faith and reason are incompatible, believers wanting to develop biblical thinking skills, or those struggling with intellectual challenges to their faith. Series Context: This message builds on our exploration of loving God with heart, soul, and strength while preparing for our upcoming focus on loving our neighbors as ourselves.

How does it summarize or describe the way God loved Israel, in the Old Testament? How does it summarize or describe the way God loved the world through Jesus?Looking at Romans 12:9-21, what specific instructions does Paul give about how Christians should care for others? How do these particular instructions relate to the idea of “incarnation”? Think back on your own experiences with evangelism. What kinds of “evangelistic” approaches seem most effective? What kind of “evangelism” once reached you?Kenny argues that “caring is love incarnate.” What do you think this means? What are some practical ways we can make God's love tangible and touchable for others in our daily lives?Who in your life has made God's love real to you through their actions, and what specific things did they do?What motivates your own faith journey: fear or love? How does that motivation affect the way you interact with others?At the end of the sermon, Kenny reminded us that the patient, intimate, and generous love of God really is the most powerful and transformative thing in our world. Is this hard to believe sometimes? Might it be true?

Biblical Talks  Signs are all around us and they are commands, warnings, directions, or all three. Signs can also be an indicator of the times. In this episode of Biblical Talks SD and Lady V discuss Matthew 24:1-51 English Standard Version. Jesus tells the disciples the signs of the end of the age. Thus, it is important for believers to pay attention to the signs.  With that in mind, here are a couple questions for you. Have you read Matthew 24:1-51. If so -- what are your thoughts? If not, no worries, we've got you covered. In any case, join us with your Bible or Bible app.  Also, go ahead and use the player at the top of this blog post or subscribe and listen via your preferred podcast platform to follow along.  Then get encouraged by joining SD and Lady V in this Biblical Talk — Pay Attention to the Signs.  Scriptures Referenced in Episode Discussion  Matthew 24:1-14 Genesis Chapters 6, 7, & 8 John 3:16-17 Romans 10:9-10 Numbers 6:24-26   Receive your Free Gift of Salvation – The Gospel of Jesus Christ  Explanation  If you are reading this, it is not by chance. This is your time to receive the Gift of Salvation through Christ Jesus.  Now, you may be wondering, "Why do I need that?" Oh, I'm so glad you asked. The Bible says, that because  Adam ate fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil -- he released sin into the world.  And ultimately, Adam's sin brought death and death spread to everyone.  No doubt, you may be thinking, "Of course, everyone is going to die." But, my question to you is "Where will you spend eternity?" Because there is life after death. In fact, when you die you go to one of two places -- heaven or hell.  Also, it is important to understand that Adam's sin also brought an eternity in hell. But for those who choose not to receive the free gift of eternal life. Thus, you must make that choice before you take your last breath.  Romans 5:17 New Living Translation says,  “For the sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over many. But even greater is God's wonderful grace and his gift of righteousness, for all who receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ.”  To sum it all up, Romans 6:23 New Living Translation says,  “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.”  So, if you are reading this, don't let another day go by without receiving this life-changing gift.  Scripture   Romans 10:8-10 New Living Translation says,  “8 …“The message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart.” And that message is the very message about faith that we preach:  9 If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.  10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.”  Salvation Prayer  Lord Jesus, I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins. I ask You to forgive me. I want to follow You, Jesus. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith, I ask You to be my Lord and Savior. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for your gift of grace and for eternity with You.  Listen to We R S.H.E.Talks Podcast  Use the web player above this blog post to listen or subscribe and listen via your favorite podcast platform.   Bible Study Resources  Holy Bible [NLT, NIV, ESV, NASB, NKJV, KJV]  Bible App by YouVersion  NLT Chronological Life Application Study Bible  Read the Bible Online – Bible Gateway  Read the Bible and Commentaries Online – Bible Hub  Read Living by the Book: The Art and Science of Reading the Bible by Howard G.

Scripture: Romans 12:3-5

SCRIPTURE - Romans 9:14-18SERIES - Romans: Justification By FaithSPEAKER - Pastor Cory Taylor

Jesus Christ was not just born. He had an existence before he was born; and therefore, Jesus was not just born—he was given to us. Jesus is the one gift that, if you have it, you have all the other gifts. Jesus is the one gift that, if you reject it, you lose all other gifts. The apostle Paul says that Jesus is the inexpressible gift. By thinking about Jesus as a gift, I think we'll come to understand more of who he is and how we should relate to him. So let's look at three essential qualities of a gift: 1) gifts are surprises, 2) gifts can be insulting, and 3) gifts are immensely valuable. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on December 19, 1993. Series: Understanding Jesus. Scripture: Romans 8:32.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break, you aren’t alone. This Christian meditation podcast offers space for Bible meditation, scripture reflection, and faith‑based guided prayer. This series is shaped by the twelve steps—a time‑tested path to spiritual healing and transformation—because we all have hurts, habits, or hangups that hold us back. Whether or not you consider yourself an addict, these meditations are for you. We all long for lives characterized by freedom—lives rooted and grounded in God and His goodness. But the truth is, we all struggle. Step One helps us admit what we feel but don’t want to name: we are powerless over our deepest problems and our lives can become unmanageable. That honest admission isn’t despair; it’s the threshold of grace—the place we discover that while we can’t, God can. And He wants to. In today’s meditation, we sit with Romans 7:21–25, where Paul wrestles with the push and pull we all know—the desire to follow God and the struggle with sin. You’ll be guided to listen, reflect, respond, and rest, opening your heart to the healing and wholeness God wants to bring.

Here's todays meditation Scripture: Romans 7:21–25 (NLT) I have discovered this principle of life—that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. I love God’s law with all my heart. But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me.Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death?Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord. So you see how it is: In my mind I really want to obey God’s law, but because of my sinful nature I am a slave to sin.

Connect with me here! Send me a text message! The reminder for you today is that you are a daughter of the most high king. Kingdom Daughters was birthed from a place of me growing in my identity and realizing that I needed to be rooted and grounded in His love and move from that space. In our busyness we can get lost in WHO we are or who we are SUPPOSEd to be. And be striving to be something by doing..instead of just being who God created us to be….which is His daughter! You are loved deeply by your heavenly father and when you come FULLY to that realization and receive His love..then you can walk boldly into the calling He has for you! Without stress or striving or performance!Boom bam.I spent most of my life trying to earn a place in the kingdom. Thinking that I had to work and be a perfect christian to walk in freedom. It wasn't til I started to understand the depth of God's love and His intention towards me that I realized I didn't have to strive for perfection or perform a certain way to earn His love. I just had to be me. Now side note to this…grace and love are a free gift…but that isn't a free ride to live however you like. If you are in a deep loving relationship with God- by knowing Him and spending time with Him in His word, prayer and worship- then you will one be transformed in His presence and two have a desire to live your life in honor and praise….your actions will reflect the worship..ya know?Anyway…. I'm telling you right now that there is freedom from walking in the knowledge that no matter what I DO, as long as I am choosing to seek Him first of course, He will always love me because He created me, sees and knows me and loves me for who I am and not what I do. Boomshakala lol So I just have  a few points to help with this topic…just to encourage you in this belief system!!Scripture: Romans 8:16-17 – “The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs, heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, …”Key Points:You are adopted and chosen. You're not a servant—you're a daughter with full access to the Father.- isn't this awesome! We are heiresses to the kingdom!We can approach His throne boldlyEphesians 3:12: "In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence        -Hebrews 4:16: "Let us then approach the throne of grace with             confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of needNow that you know these beautiful truths(and I suggest listening back to some of the earlier podcasts if you haven't already to really dive into some of the scripture on identity!)Living as royalty means reflecting your Father.When we truly know who we are in Jesus we should speak, think, and act from a place of kingdom authority.- This comes from spending time with Him and knowing Him well so that you know how to reflect who HSupport the show

SCRIPTURE - Romans 9:1-5SERIES - Romans: Righteousness By FaithSPEAKER - Pastor Cory Taylor

We all have very strong moral convictions about what we think is right and wrong. And in a pluralistic society, we need to find ways of sharing our beliefs and being honest about who we are in a way that's respectful and promotes peace. One of the ways we can make for a more civil conversation is to ask a more fundamental question: Where do you get your moral convictions? How do you determine what is right and wrong?  There's almost no place I know that has a more interesting answer to this question than Romans 2. It tells us three things: 1) no one can succeed in being a relativist, 2) no one can really succeed in being a moralist, and therefore, 3) this is our only hope. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on October 27, 2013. Series: A Public Faith. Scripture: Romans 2:12-29.

Jesus, you are my confident hope in this time of trouble. Keywords: Confidence; hope; near; prayer; patience; trouble; strength.Scripture: Romans 12:12 Resource: The Spirit-Led Heart: Living a life of love and faith beyond borders by Suzanne Eller 

If we're going to have a truly open society, we have to learn how to be public about our deepest faith beliefs, and yet to do so in a way that's respectful to others and promotes peace.  So how do you talk about God and God's existence? One way to talk about this with more reflection is not to ask, “Does God exist?” but to ask, “How do you know whether God exists?” I don't think there's any more brilliant answer to the question, “How can we know whether God exists?” than in Romans 1. Paul actually gives four answers, all at once. He says, 1) we can know God, 2) we do know God, 3) we don't know God, and 4) we can truly know God.
