Salvation is not just about securing a place in heaven—it's an invitation into deep, daily intimacy with Jesus. In this powerful message, we discover that we are called to participate in both His death and His life. Through His death, we are set free from shame, guilt, and sin. Through His life, we experience the fullness of the Father's love, the presence of the Holy Spirit, and the abundant life Jesus promised.You were not just saved from something—you were saved to Someone. True fellowship with Christ means putting to death the old self and living empowered by His Spirit. It's a life marked by freedom, comfort, spiritual gifts, and deep connection with God.Today, the invitation is simple but life-changing: Will you choose to participate?

In this episode, we discuss the fivefold ministry, often referred to as APEST, outlined in Ephesians 4:11. This powerful passage isn't just for church leaders; it's a ministry call for every believer to step into their unique role. Last time, we discussed how each of us is God's masterpiece, created for good works (Ephesians 2:8-10). Today, we explore the “fullness” that comes when each member of Christ's body operates in alignment with their calling—whether as an Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Shepherd, or Teacher.Scriptures: • Ephesians 2:8-10 – Saved by grace, created for good works • Jeremiah 7:23-24 – Called to obedience and trust in God's direction • Ephesians 4:7, 11-16 – Equipping the saints for ministry and building up the body in unity and maturityAPEST Gifts: • Apostle: Sent to pioneer and extend the mission • Prophet: Challenges the church toward truth and covenant faithfulness • Evangelist: Gathers and shares the gospel • Shepherd: Cares for and nurtures the community • Teacher: Explains and imparts understandingJoin us as we realign our view of ministry, moving away from hierarchy and towards empowering every disciple to live out their unique calling. Let's restore the fullness of Christ within the church and live as a unified body, reaching out to all corners of our world.

For Christians, the battle against unseen evil forces is constant, with fiery darts of doubt and temptation aimed to weaken faith. Yet, we wield the Shield of Faith as our defense, trusting in God's promises to protect and guide us through the spiritual warfare. With unwavering belief, we stand firm, knowing that nothing can penetrate the shield of our faith in the Almighty.   Scriptures: Ephesians 6: 10-17, 1 Peter 4:12, Galatians 5:19-21, 1 Peter 5:8        

Marriage was instituted by God in the Garden where He joins a husband and wife together in a one flesh union. God has specific requirements for husbands and wives. Wives are to be submissive to their husbands as to the Lord, and husbands are to sacrificially and lovingly care for their wives as Christ loved the church. Marriage is to be a vivid picture of Christ's relationship to the church.Scriptures: Ephesians 5:22-33

Scriptures: Can vision = energy? Scriptures: Ephesians 1:17-23 (NIV and The Message), Matthew 8 (NIV)

Society is crazy right now. It may get worse. Regardless, life is full of storms that come unexpectedly. If spouses are not unified, the storm may be the last straw. Married couples must unify to stand together through the good times and the bad. Even the most divided house, can be reunited. But God. :) Scriptures: Ephesians 4:26, Luke 11:17, Ephesians 6:12

Here we go again...tumultuous times...more wars, upheaval and division. This has left people anxious, weary and feeling overwhelmed. Many caring souls are experiencing what we call in psychology, compassion fatigue ( a term that describes the physical, emotional, and psychological impact of helping others — often through experiences of stress or trauma. ) I've heard reports from prayer intercessors who feel overwhelmed in the process, as events seem to pile on top of each others. They are not sure how to pray; who to pray for; and some are wondering even if it makes a difference? Join Sharon and I as we process the recent headlines and how to keep fighting the good fight of prayer; which for us as Christians, is the most compassionate thing we can do. I think you'll be edified and encouraged to keep up your own personal battle in prayer, as God's purposes are being ushered in through them. His light always overcomes the darkness. Be sure to like, rate and share this episode, so you can be part of brining hope and healing to a hurting world! One person at a time! Soli Deo Gloria.

This month has been interesting to say the least, from dealing with my own health scare, to an unexpected death in the family, coupled with news reports of mass murders, death, and destruction it can take a toll on us mentally especially during the holidays which are already hard enough as people mourn lost ones who have transitioned, the effects of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), etc. My heart and prayers go out to all of the family and friends affected by last night's mass shooting at Walmart in Chesapeake, VA; the UVA community from the mass shooting on November 13, 2022; Idaho College Murders on November 13, 2022; and the list goes on.

Summary  — Submission in many households is a bad word, but it is a word God loves. We may be familiar with it in the context of wives submitting to their husbands. However, this word also applies to our businesses. If you are married (husband or wife), God expects us to submit our business to our spouse.

For I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, and they shall be remembered by name no more.”Hosea 6:1-2 (ESV)"Come, let us return to the Lord;    for he has torn us, that he may heal us;    he has struck us down, and he will bind us up. After two days he will revive us;    on the third day he will raise us up,    that we may live before him.” 1 Corinthians 15:4 (ESV)“he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures”Ephesians 5:25 (ESV)“Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her”2 Corinthians 11:2 (NIV)“I promised you to one husband, to Christ”1 Corinthians 6:20 (NIV)“You are not your own, for you were bought with a price”1 Peter 1:18-19 (ESV)"you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.”
