Hey sisters, Before you build another routine or schedule, it's time to pause and look closely at where your time is really going. In the short term, this process helps you understand your time and tasks—what's working, what's draining you, and what can shift. But the long-term goal is to make space for what truly matters: the time, clarity, and margin to finally declutter and organize your home with intention.

What if joy isn't something you chase… but a home you return to? What if your restless desires aren't the problem—but the pathway?This message by Graydon Scholtz explores the heart of Jesus' parable in Luke 15—not just as a story of two lost sons, but as an invitation to live in delight rather than in duty. Whether you've wandered far in search of fulfillment or found yourself striving for God's approval through performance, this message gently leads us back to the Father's embrace—where delight is the design, not the exception. Through personal story, worship, and rich biblical truth, Graydon calls us to stop settling for spiritual “strawberries” when we were made for the banquet of God's presence. It's not just about returning to God—it's about rediscovering Him as the very joy your soul was made for.Scriptures: Luke 15:11–32; Romans 1:25; Psalm 34:8; Psalm 37:4; Psalm 63:2–5; Psalm 16:11; Romans 8:14–17Connect with us:Website: http://lincchurch.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/lincchurchFacebook: https://facebook.com/lincchurchPodcast: https://apple.co/2Jx8wG0#LINCchurch #LINC To support this ministry financially and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://lincchurch.com/giving

Luke 13:1-9 "Unless You Repent - A Call To Fruitfulness"

Freedom Fellowship

In Luke 13:1–9, Jesus calls us to examine our hearts through repentance and to bear fruit that reflects a life turned toward God. Building on last week's focus on living ready for Christ's return, this teaching shows that readiness is impossible without repentance — without it, there is no fruit and no life. Jesus uses two tragedies — Pilate's slaughter of Galileans and the collapse of the Tower of Siloam — to shift our focus from speculating about others to examining ourselves. Repentance (metanoia) is more than regret; it's a complete change of mind and direction, a daily turning from sin and self toward God. It's not a punishment but a gift that leads to joy, renewal, and a deeper relationship with Him. Through the parable of the barren fig tree, we see God's expectation for His people to bear fruit and His patience in giving us opportunities to respond. This message explores what that fruit looks like in practice — from forgiveness and generosity to growth in the Spirit and turning from idols — and challenges us to live lives of ongoing repentance as we await Christ's return. ✅ Key Points: • Why repentance is central to Christian life and readiness • Jesus' response to tragedy: self-examination over speculation • What true repentance means and how it transforms direction • The daily practice of repentance and its connection to abundant life • God's expectation of fruit and the urgency to bear it • Practical examples of fruitfulness: forgiveness, generosity, growth, and turning from idols

BIBLE STUDY| MIRACLES OF JESUS SERIES.|THE FOURTH MIRACLE OF JESUS pt.59| THE FEEDING OF 5,000 MEN WITH 5 LOAVES OF BREAD AND 2 FISHES| CHIMDI OHAHUNA Welcome back to another enlightening episode of The Miracles of Jesus Bible Study Series! We continue to understand the vital theme of Power as demonstrated in Luke 10:19 and Psalms 91:13. Drawing on the powerful insights from Scriptures (Luke 10 and Psalm 91), we explore how Jesus empowers His disciples to tread upon serpents, scorpions, and all the forces of the enemy. Key Highlights: 1. Understanding Divine Competence: We discuss the nature of power as a competency given by Jesus, empowering His disciples to tread upon serpents, scorpions, and all forces that oppose us. As believers, this divine competency equips us to fulfill the tasks entrusted to us. 2. The Order of Power in Christ: Learn about the essential steps in exercising this power:    - Revelation: Gaining insight into God's Word and His promises.    - Conviction: Developing a strong belief in the truths revealed.    - Persuasion: Becoming fully convinced and ready to share these truths.    - Demonstration: Actively living out and showcasing this power in our lives. 3. Competence Through Association: In this segment, we reflect on the life of Apostle Peter as a testament that true competency in the Kingdom of God comes from close association with Jesus, rather than mere academic education. We are reminded of 2 Corinthians 3:18, highlighting how our transformation reflects Christ's glory. 4. Freedom to Exercise Power: We emphasize the importance of not feeling restricted in exercising the power granted by Christ. As believers, we are encouraged to embrace and activate this power fearlessly. 5. The Journey to Mastery: Mastery in the spiritual realm requires ongoing discipleship. We explore how consistent association with the Lord leads to greater understanding and skill in overcoming obstacles presented by serpents and scorpions. 6. Position as Law-Givers: Discover the empowering notion that as believers, we are positioned as magistrates with the authority to interpret and enact the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. We reference Joshua 1:8 and Romans 8:2 to illustrate this authority. 7. Supernatural Empowerment: Finally, we conclude with a deep dive into the superhuman nature conferred upon us by Jesus—a power that transcends human limitations, allowing believers to operate in the supernatural. Join us as we uncover these profound lessons and equip ourselves to live victoriously in the power of Christ! Whether you're a seasoned believer or just beginning your faith journey, this episode is packed with insights to inspire and empower you. Tune in to The Miracles of Jesus Bible Study Series, where we explore the transformative potential of God's promises in our lives!

The Spiritual Life #43 - Knowing and Doing the Will of God

Thinking on Scripture with Dr. Steven R. Cook

     Those who are positive to God desire to know Him, His Word, and to pursue His will.[1] Jesus said to fellow Jews, “If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know of the teaching, whether it is of God or whether I speak from Myself” (John 7:17). Jesus explained that knowing God's Word is predicated on a desire to do (ποιέω poieo) His will. But some hearts are negative to God. And when the heart is negative, no amount of divine revelation will prove persuasive. For example, Noah preached to his generation for one hundred and twenty years, but they refused to listen (Gen 6:3; 2 Pet 2:5). Jeremiah spoke to the leaders of Israel, saying, “these twenty-three years the word of the LORD has come to me, and I have spoken to you again and again, but you have not listened” (Jer 25:3). Preachers are responsible for the accurate output of the message, not the outcome of response. Jesus spoke to the hard-hearted Pharisees and said, “Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot hear My word” (John 8:43). Jesus then gave the answer, saying, “You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father” (John 8:44). They could not hear His words because they were unsaved and negative to God. These were men who “loved the darkness rather than the Light” (John 3:19). Paul described them as ones “who suppress the truth in unrighteousness” (Rom 1:18). Paul also spoke about the unsaved person, saying, “But an unbeliever does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised” (1 Cor 2:14).      Of the one with positive volition it is said, “his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His law he meditates day and night” (Psa 1:2). The benefit of such a lifelong meditation is that “He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season and its leaf does not wither; and in whatever he does, he prospers” (Psa 1:3). The godly person is positive to the Lord and welcomes His Word. David said, “I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your Law is within my heart” (Psa 40:8). The word delight (חָפֵץ chaphets) means, “to take pleasure in, desire…to delight in…to be willing…to feel inclined.”[2] This speaks of positive volition. God's will (רָצוֹן ratson) refers to what pleases Him. And the word Law (תּוֹרָה torah) means teaching, direction, or instruction. Jeremiah said, “Your words were found and I ate them, and Your words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart; for I have been called by Your name, O LORD God of hosts” (Jer 15:16). To eat God's Word is a picture of positive volition, as Jeremiah welcomed the divine revelation into himself. Once received, it delighted (שִׂמְחָה simchah – delight, joy, gladness, mirth) his heart (לֵבָב lebab – inner person, mind, will). When the human heart is receptive to God's Word, it transforms that person from the inside out, and this is both cognitive and experiential. David and Jeremiah wanted to know and walk with God, and His divine revelation, properly understood and applied, was the means to know and do it.      God will open His Word to the believer who dedicates his/her life to Him. Paul wrote, “I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect” (Rom 12:1-2). A surrendered life to God makes the Christian sensitive to the illuminating ministry of the Holy Spirit, who aids the believer to know God's will. Concerning this passage, Arnold Fruchtenbaum states: "It is hard to understand what the will of God is without this act of dedication because the believer does not have the Spirit's illumination, which is needed to determine God's will from His Word. Dedication brings knowledge of the will of God. Having the knowledge, the logical outworking of the dedicated life is that the believer now does the will of God."[3]      God's Word is powerful and accomplishes what He desires (Isa 55:10-11; Heb 4:12), and it lights a fire in the heart of those who welcome it. For example, Jesus, after his resurrection, walked for several miles with two disciples and gave them a Bible lesson which lasted for several hours as they traveled “to a village named Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem” (Luke 24:13). Luke records what Jesus taught them, saying, “beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures” (Luke 24:27). After His Bible lesson, the two disciples said, “Were not our hearts burning within us while He was speaking to us on the road, while He was explaining the Scriptures to us?” (Luke 24:32). The heart that is positive to God receives His Word and is excited by what is learned.  Theological Categories of God's Will      The will of God can be divided between His secret will and revealed will. Moses wrote, “The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may observe all the words of this law” (Deut 29:29). What God has revealed in Scripture is what He deems important for us to know. But there are secret things that belong to the Lord, and on these matters, He remains silent. To spend our days pursuing what God has sovereignly chosen to keep hidden will only lead to unending frustration. If we have prayed and studied God's Word thoroughly yet received no clear answer, it may be because God does not want us to know—or not to know at this time. Though we may seek to discern God's will through daily experiences, such providential insight must always remain subordinate to His written revelation. Though we don't know many particulars about what God is doing, we know He is in control and directing history to the return of Christ and the eternal state, and we are part of that grand plan. Concerning God's revealed will, Scripture presents several classifications. Steven R. Cook, D.Min., M.Div.   [1] For the Christian, this does not mean our sin nature is removed, nor that we are free from the sinful pressures of living in a fallen world. Paul said, “I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good. For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man, but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members” (Rom 7:21-23). This struggle with sin continues until we leave this world and enter into heaven. Until then, it is God's will that we remain in this world (John 17:15) as His ambassadors (2 Cor 5:20).

Main Idea: On the way back from Jerusalem, Mary and Joseph can't find Jesus because he's hanging out at the temple soaking up every word. He's listening with wide eyes no doubt. Later in his ministry we know that he depends on both his knowledge of scripture and his relationship with his father in heaven. Perhaps we need to recover the story seeking of children who always love to listen to stories. God's story is the overarching story of our lives. Scriptures: Luke 2:41-52

52 Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did notenter in yourselves, and those who were entering in you hindered." Luke 11 finishes with Jesus giving a personal, up-close,scathing word of rebuke and declaration of condemnation and judgment upon the religiousleaders of His day. He pronounced three “woes” upon the Pharisees and their hypocrisy,and three “woes” upon the lawyers who were the religious “experts” interpretingthe Law of Moses for the people.  That is why verse 45, tells us that after Jesus spoke His wordsto the Pharisees, the lawyer said, "Teacher, by saying these things Youreproach us also." The Pharisees believed, and were supposedly practicingall the traditional teachings of these lawyers. This opened the door for Jesusto condemn these lawyers too. I'm convinced that the false teachers of the Wordof God will receive the greater condemnation on judgment day from God. We needto know how to identify them and avoid them.  First in verse 46, they don't practice what they teach.They put a “religious works” burdens on others that they ignore themselves.Secondly, in verse 47-51, they glorify the Old Testament prophets as they attemptto identify with them so that they will appear to be authentic. They appear toknow the Bible better than anyone else. And third, in verse 52, they claim becauseof that, they are the only ones who can properly interpret the Scriptures. The internetand social media are full of these false teachers today! Beware! These “lawyers” that Jesus was condemning were guilty ofrobbing the common people of the knowledge of the Word of God. It was badenough that they would not enter the kingdom themselves, but they werehindering others from going in! It is a serious thing to teach God's Word andnot everyone is supposed to do it (James 3:1). Unfortunately, what some peoplecall "Bible study" is too often just a group of unprepared peopleexchanging their ignorance. The lawyers had convinced the people that nobody couldunderstand and explain the Law except the trained and authorized teachers. Wehave some of that arrogant attitude showing itself today. Teachers whooveremphasize the Bible languages give people the impression that the HolySpirit cannot teach anyone who does not know Greek and Hebrew. We need toalways remember that Jesus is the key to the Scriptures (Luke 24:44-48).  When you take away that key, you cannot understand what Godhas written. As helpful and necessary as theological studies are, the mostimportant requirements for Bible study are a yielded heart and an obedientwill. Jesus said in John 7:17: “If anyone wants to do His will, he shallknow concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on Myown authority.”  In John 14:21 Jesussaid: “He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. Andhe who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifestMyself to him."  The best Bible teachers are men and women who learned thetruth of God's Word on their knees and on the battlefield of life. They wereSpirit-taught, not man-taught. Jesus told His disciples in John 16:13-14: “However,when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; forHe will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak;and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take ofwhat is Mine and declare it to you.” A Spirit led Bible teacher will alwaysglorify Jesus and not himself.  So serious is this danger of false teachers that Jesus willhave more to say about it in Luke 12:1. (Also read 2 Peter 2-3)  Meanwhile, let us beware! God bless!

In this episode, we discuss the difference between judgement and correction. Judgement is not for improvement, it's a conclusion, whereas correction is for the purpose of improvement.  Accepting correction can be hard and oftentimes we interpret correction as judgement.  Scriptures:Luke 6:37Romans 14:10-13Rev. 20:11-13Hebrews 12:11II Tim. 3:16Prov. 3:12Prov. 15:31-32It is  important to realize that when we are not open to correction and instruction, this can hinder our Christian walk. If we do not acknowledge that we make mistakes and sometimes need to change our ways, this can have negative consequences. The Bible informs us that God is our only judge. If we can be given correction and be corrected, we will be able to confidently stand before God in the judgement without condemnation.Contact us at:lifeinspiredproductions@gmail.comFind us on Apple iTunes, Spotify, PandoraFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/EnrichedPInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/enriched_perspectives/YouTube: @Enriched_Perspectives
