You were never asked to be strong enough. You were asked to trust the One who is.In this third message in the Not Alone series, John Gunter teaches what it means to live with the Spirit of God. We are not called to control everything or act like we have all the answers. Instead, we are invited to lean fully into God's presence, admit our need, and allow His Spirit to intercede when we are weak, tired, or unsure what to pray.Key Themes:The Spirit prays for us when we cannot find the words (Romans 8)God's power is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12)Even youths grow weary, but those who wait on the Lord renew their strength (Isaiah 40)We do not have to be alone, and we do not have to pretend to be strong

Adoption: Neither Rejection Nor Abandonment Could Stop God’s Adoption Plan Introduction The Lies We've Let Ourselves Believe The Phrases of Abandonment and Rejection i.      “I’m not good enough and I need to be perfect or successful to be worthy of love.” ii.      “Everyone secretly hates me and no one wants me around.” iii.      “My emotions are too big to control, so I’m consumed by my anger and rage.” iv.      “I should feel shame and fear [about my life or life experiences].” v.      “I need to medicate the deep internal isolation/rejection I feel with [a physical stimulus].” vi.      “I have no worth beyond what I can provide.” vii.      “I’m a victim to circumstances I can’t escape.” viii.      “I cannot find rest in this world.” ix.      “No one else will ever understand me or what I’m going through.” x.      “I’m in competition with other people; there’s not ‘enough’ for all of us.” What We Say About Ourselves Matters i.      Key Scripture: Proverbs 18:21 [MSG] ii.      There's an enemy on the prowl 1.      1 Peter 5:8 2.      John 10:10 iii.      There’s an enemy on the prowl; he is looking to steal, kill, and destroy, but he has no real power over you. His time and power are limited and he’s looking for you to let him in. Your words can be his way in. iv.      Book Recommendation: Uninvited: Living Loved When You Feel Less Than, Left out, and Lonely by Lysa Terkeurst v.      We have to confront the lies we have allowed ourselves to believe. Jesus did not redeem you so that you can still be stuck believing that your temporary circumstances still define who you are. BUT GOD! Key Scripture: Ephesians 1:5 The Details of Adoption i.      Greek word transliterated into “huiothesia.” ii.      Huiothesia is derived from two Greek words: “huios” meaning “son” and “tithemi” meaning “to place, put, or set.” iii.      Huiothesia literally translates to “placing as a son.” iv.      Additional Scriptures where huiothesia is used: Romans             8:15, Romans 8:23, Romans 9:4, Galatians 4:5 New Testament View on Adoption i.      Roman adoption was almost always something that happened to an adult, not a child Key point: You belonging, your adoption into a new family, was always the plan. Scripture vs. The Lies We Believe Lie: “I’m not good enough and I need to be perfect or successful to be worthy of love” i.      Scripture: Ephesians 2:10 ii.      Key point: You've already been called a masterpiece; the worth is already there. Lie: “Everyone secretly hates me and no one wants me around.” i.      Scripture: Psalm 139:14 ii.      Key point: How can someone shaped by God Himself not be wanted? This is a voice that’s meant to draw you into isolation, don’t follow it… Lie: “My emotions are too big to control, so I’m consumed by my anger and rage.” i.      Scriptures: Romans 12:21; Galatians 5:16, 19-21 ii.      Key point: Hey, all emotions are valid, all behavior is not. The Spirit of the LORD can and will help you not be consumed by your emotions. Lie: “I should feel shame and fear [about my life or life experiences]” i.      Scriptures: Romans 8:33-34; 2 Timothy 1:7 ii.      Key point: It’s okay to leave behind fear and shame. Lie: “I need to medicate the deep internal isolation/rejection I feel with [a physical stimulus].” i.      Scripture: Colossians 2:10 ii.      Key point: You can't find the healing and fulfillment you're craving anywhere else. Every “solution” will be temporary (yes, even healthy ones) when they’re not paired with Christ. When we draw near to God, He draws near to us and this is where healing actually begins. Lie: “I have no worth beyond what I can provide.” i.      Scripture: Romans 5:6-8(MSG) ii.      Key point: We, you and I both, had nothing to offer God. No skill, no talent, no resource, no activity He was interested in, no nothing. He thought and thinks you’re valuable in spite of that detail. We don’t need to beg for “scraps of His love” by presenting Him with our accomplishments, you already are loved and therefore have worth. Additionally, in relationships sometimes you will be the one giving help and other times you'll be the one receiving it, but both times you still have the same worth! Lie: “I’m a victim of circumstances I can’t escape.” i.      Scriptures: Psalm 71:20; 2 Corinthians 4:8-10 ii.      Key point: Your suffering hasn’t gone unnoticed and while it can fool you into believing there is no escape, you are not destroyed. Turn your eyes towards God who has created an escape for you, so that with Him you may be able to bear. Lie: “I cannot find rest in this world.” i.      Scriptures: Isaiah 40:30-31(NKJV); Matthew 11:28 ii.      Key point: I want to point out that to grow weary is not a fault of yours; it’s not some defect exclusive to you…it’s okay to be tired. Even the youths get tired, but here’s the Good News: the wait is over. There’s a lighter burden available, but we need to see it in the spiritual. However, there is a choice to be made: we must choose to come. Lie: “No one else will ever understand me or what I’m going through.” i.      Scriptures: Psalm 139:1-2; John 15:18; Hebrews 12:3 ii.      Key point: Please excuse my sense of humor, but you’re not that special…There’s nothing new under the sun (Ecc 1:9); suffering is not unique to you, it's the human condition. The LORD knows everything about you AND our suffering Savior knows exactly how you feel. You’re not crying out to someone who isn’t empathetic. His innocence met hostility and mistreatment, it’s not an experience unique to you…let Him comfort you. Lie: “I’m in competition with other people; there’s not ‘enough’ for all of us.” i.      Key point: Maybe this isn’t one you’ve said out loud or even admitted to yourself, but I wonder if it has shown up in your behavior. Desperate for acceptance and successful relationships we begin to act out of scarcity. Seeing the success of others begins to make you feel like there’s now somehow less success available for you. The success of their relationship means there is now less opportunity for you. Now suddenly you’re in secret competition with the people you should be praying for. A scarcity mindset is unbelief and comparison kills joy. Be the best YOU because that's who God made you! ii.      Scripture: 1st the admonishment — James 3:14-15 iii.      Scripture: 2nd the truth – 2 Corinthians 9:8 iv.      Scripture: 3rd the requirement – Philippians 2:4 v.      There is a God who is big enough to see and provide for all of us and any statement otherwise is a lie from the pit of hell. Still Room for Improvement Key Scripture: Romans 8:1 Am I Part of the Problem? i.      Understanding your identity as a child of God doesn't mean you just become a perfect person. Wearing a Kingdom identity well requires us to do some work. ii.      An Illustration from King David 1.      Innocent David a.       Scriptures: 1 Samuel 18:28-29; 19:1-5, 9 2.      Not so innocent David a.       Scripture: 2 Samuel 12:1-9 3.      Two things can be true at once: 1) we can be innocent and be mistreated and 2) we can behave in ways that produce negative outcomes. We need to be aware of both. 4.      Trauma shaped identities can cause turmoil in our relationships and result in people not wanting to be around us. This is not persecution; it’s the direct consequence of our undesirable behavior. Fooled By Our Sin Nature i.      “God made me like this.” With love, He didn't. ii.      Scripture: Psalm 139:23-24 1.      God can (and will) reveal to us the parts of our identities that we have taken on that are not from Him. Sin has distorted our standard of right and wrong; this means it’s not safe for us to rely solely on our own thoughts. iii.      Scripture: 2 Corinthians 13:5 1.      Genuine faith should produce obedience and faith and obedience produces Christ-like behavior. 2.      We must repent, turn away from, and make amends when our behaviors cause harm or else we will never maintain and experience the fullness of relationship with others and this is a detriment to our spiritual family and our Kingdom assignment. Conclusion: Taking on a New Identity Key scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17 i.      There is no need to identify ourselves by our hurts, struggles, or failures. There is a more important title for you: An heir to the Kingdom of God. Here’s another one: Beloved Child of God. ii.      It has always been God’s pIan to welcome you home to Him. Please put on and live out your proper identity, the Kingdom needs its workers. Closing Scripture: John 1:12-13

New podcasts every Monday. Each week will feature a different topic, coupled with some of my experiences as a young black woman. I utilize songs, prayer, and scriptures to provide Godly advice relating to each topic.

This Podcast is the final part in the series from Sunday Nov 16th 2025 titled The Bashful, The Bold & The Ugly Pt.3These are some of the Scriptures that were referenced throughout this series:Mark 1:40-42 (NKJV)40 Now a leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, “If You are willing, You can make me clean.” 41 Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.” 42 As soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.Mark 2:1-6 (NKJV)2 And again He entered Capernaum after some days, and it was heard that He was in the house. 2 [a]Immediately many gathered together, so that there was no longer room to receive them, not even near the door. And He preached the word to them. 3 Then they came to Him, bringing a paralytic who was carried by four men. 4 And when they could not come near Him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where He was. So when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.” 6 And some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts,Mark 2:5-7 (NKJV)5  When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.” 6  And some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts,  7  “Why does this Man speak blasphemies like this? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”Mark 2:8-12 (The Message Bible)8-12  Jesus knew right away what they were thinking, and said, “Why are you soskeptical? Which is simpler: to say to the paraplegic, ‘I forgive your sins,' or say, ‘Get up, take your stretcher, and start walking'?Mark 2:13-15 (NKJV)13  Then He went out again by the sea; and all the multitude came to Him, and Hetaught them.  14  As He passed by, He saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, “Follow Me.” So he arose and followed Him. 15  Now it happened, as He was dining in Levi's house, that many tax collectors and sinners also sat together with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many, and they followed Him.Mark 2:16-17 (NLT)16  But when the teachers of religious law who were Pharisees saw him eating with tax collectors and other sinners, they asked his disciples, “Why does he eat with such scum?” 17  When Jesus heard this, he told them, “Healthy people don't need a doctor—sick people do. I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.”Hebrews 1:1-3 (NKJV)1 God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, 2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; 3 who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,more Scriptures: Romans 8:17 (NLT), John 14:8-10 (NLT), 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 (NLT), Hebrews 12:1 (NLT), ACTION Choose ONE this week:1) Identity Declaration: “I am a son/daughter of God, and I live from who I am, not from what I do.” 2) Strip a Weight: Lay aside one habit, thought, or behaviour that slows down your spiritual race. 3) Radiate His Character: Choose one relationship or environment to intentionally reflect Christ.Thank you for listening and join us next time for more great teachings from The Word.If you feel led to give towards this podcast ministry you can do so through the same ways that you give your tithes & offerings by writing Podcast ministry.

Redefined Soul | Becoming WHOLE (Week 3)What does it truly mean to love and follow Jesus with your soul? In Week 3 of our series Becoming WHOLE, we explore how the soul—our emotional life, desires, and motivations—is shaped, surrendered, and redefined through Christ.In this message, “Redefined Soul,” we look at how offering ourselves fully to God transforms us from the inside out. Through passages like Romans 12:1, Galatians 2:20, and Proverbs 4:23, we discover how Jesus renews our inner life so that our emotions, desires, and affections line up with His purpose.Whether you're new to faith, rebuilding your spiritual life, or simply wanting to go deeper, this message will help you understand what it means to let Christ reshape the very core of who you are.Scriptures:

What if the very thing you're hiding is the starting point for your healing? What if your shame isn't a sentence—it's the stage of your sonship?This message explores the transformative grip of God's grace—how He frames your failures, forgives your flaws, and fiercely fathers you through it all. In this vulnerable and hope-soaked sermon, Chad Theron shares his own story of brokenness turned into belonging. Whether you're carrying certificates of success or shame, you'll discover that the Holy Spirit isn't here to inspect your performance but to secure your identity. It's not just about being forgiven—it's about being adopted, embraced, and forever changed by the love of your Father.Scriptures: Romans 8:14–17; Romans 8:1–2; 2 Corinthians 3:18; John 14:16; Psalm 23:4; Galatians 4:6; John 1:12; Jonah 2:1; Nehemiah 9 Connect 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

Ever feel stuck in that maddening cycle where you know what to do… but you still don't do it? You've planned the meals, prayed the prayers, and promised yourself “this time will be different.” But somehow, you keep breaking your own commitments.This isn't just about food, candy, or discipline. It's about the invisible battle inside of you — the war between your flesh that wants comfort and your spirit that craves freedom.In this episode, Sherrie exposes the real reason you can't seem to follow through, even when your heart wants to. You'll discover how spiritual weakness disguises itself as willpower problems, why trying harder keeps you trapped, and how to tap into divine strength that actually follows through when your motivation fades.If you're tired of knowing what to do but still not doing it, this episode will show you how to stop fighting yourself and start partnering with God.Get in The Seeker's Method here.Scriptures: Romans 7:15–25, Galatians 5:16–17, Philippians 2:13

Description Wrong words wrote your life. Today, we kill the script and install truth. It's not a discipline problem—it's a dialogue problem. Conversation → conviction → direction. In this message: • How self-talk keeps you looping the same outcomes • Why “faith comes by hearing” works both ways (truth vs. trash) • Jesus chose standards over suggestions—so can you • Practical steps to end contaminated conversations + start divine dialogue Scriptures: Romans 10:17, Proverbs 4:23, Proverbs 18:21, Genesis 3 (“Who told you…?”), Matthew 16:21–23, Jeremiah 29:11 Pray & Act This Week: Mute a source that feeds fear. Replace one contamination phrase with a truth phrase. Repeat it daily—out loud.

My husband Ray and I have been dealing with house things - a limb from our neighbor's yard fell onto our roof and gutter, needing repair; our hot water heater had to be replaced; and today a plumber is trying to fix a leaky faucet. All these things are expensive and add up. As I pondered these, I thought where in my life do I need spiritual repairing and replacing? Where do you? We're not able to change ourselves. We can only become a new creation through the power of Jesus' blood and His work on the cross and God's grace by the Holy Spirit.Have you ever seen a depressed, fearful, or angry butterfly? No. Butterflies are free and happy. It is a creature that underwent metamorphosis, changing from a caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly.

In Part 2 of this series of the Alex McFarland Show, Alex discusses the confusions in the world today regarding worldviews and what God's word says about it. In Romans 12:2 it states that we should not be conformed to this world but we are to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. God has built into each one of us the capacity to know Him. Listen as he shares the truth of the gospel that is so absolute and definitive.Scriptures:Romans 12:2John 31 John 4:12 Peter 1:19-21Jude 1:22Genesis chapters 1-3Luke 16Acts 282 Corinthians 4:4Alex McFarland WebsiteAsk AlexMy Relationship with God Free e-bookApologetics Core Truths e-book: Free DownloadConversations that Matter - Dr. Gary Chapman31 Days of Prayer for AmericaEquip Retreat CampsThe Cove - July 18th-20th, 2025 & July 28th-Aug 1st, 2025Speaking EventsBook AlexGive OnlineAlex McFarland MinistriesP.O.

We were founded on Christian principles, which makes America a biblically formed nation. On this episode of the Alex McFarland Show, Alex takes scriptural evidence to discuss the battle of worldview's. A government that is separated from a biblical and a moral foundation, runs the risk of being taken over by darkness and evil. The wisest thing we can do as a nation is to follow the truth and where it leads.Scriptures:Romans 12:2John 8:321 John 2:28Ephesians 1:1-2Alex McFarland WebsiteAsk AlexMy Relationship with God Free e-bookApologetics Core Truths e-book: Free DownloadConversations that Matter - Dr. Gary Chapman31 Days of Prayer for AmericaEquip Retreat CampsThe Cove - July 18th-20th, 2025 & July 28th-Aug 1st, 2025Speaking EventsBook AlexGive OnlineAlex McFarland MinistriesP.O.

Romans 9:19–29 continues Paul argument that God is merciful to whomever he chooses and that God hardens whomever he chooses. Human beings need to remember their lowly state before God and acknowledge that he is the one who holds us in his hands, shaping us as the potter shapes the clay. God's mercy shines gloriously against the backdrop human wickedness.Scriptures: Romans 9:19–29

How do we find purpose in our lives? On this week's episode of The Alex McFarland Show, Alex talks about how to find purpose and that everyone will give account to God for our lives. Romans 14:12 in the New Testament encourages everyone that we should pause and evaluate, pray and prioritize our lives. Every new day and every new year can be viewed as a precious gift from God. Listen as Alex dives into the scriptures to share this message of hope.Scriptures:Romans 14:12John 10:10Ecclesiastes 9:10Amos 3:3Isaiah 42:81 Corinthians 6:19 & 201 Corinthians 4:71 Thessalonians 4:11 & 12Alex McFarland WebsiteMy Relationship with God BookletThe Cove - July 18th-20th, 2025 & July 28th-Aug 1st, 2025Speaking EventsBook AlexDonate - Receive the Book: 100 Bible Questions & Answers for FamiliesAlex McFarland MinistriesP.O.

Scriptures: Romans 10:2-4 We each are naturally drawn to varied service projects, but what must accompany our zeal if we are to be useful for God's purposes? (Romans 10:2-4) What can we afford to remove from our lives to bring them better into balance? Tonight Cindy facilitates a conversation with Jill and Colleen O'Steen on “The Well-Balanced Life” and how having an “eternal perspective” can give us an advantage in figuring out how to fine-tune our lives to become more “others-centered.”

Question: Though I've read your excellent discussions on eternal security, I still need understanding of the following Scriptures—Romans 11:21-22: “...if thou continue in His goodness” sounds conditional; Colossians 1:22-23, “If ye continue in the faith…” ditto; Hebrews 3:6, 14 have the same idea; 2 Peter 2:20-22 speaks of those who have “escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord…and who were washed…being entangled again and overcome.” If these apparent contradictions could be covered in a future “Q&A,” it would be greatly appreciated.Response: The New Testament contains frequent exhortations to godly living, to “continue in the faith” and to “hold fast the confidence firm unto the end” (Hebrews 3:6, 14) and to “walk worthy of the Lord” (Ephesians 4:1; Colossians 1:10), and warns of being “cut off” (Romans 11:22).The exhortation is to two classes of people: (1) Those who are false professors, in order to show them that their lives demonstrate that they do not truly know the Lord; and (2) Christians who are living in disobedience, to warn them that if they continue to dishonor their Lord, He will severely discipline them. The latter could be “cut off” from fellowship with other believers, or from this life....

Beloved, the enemy is after your rightful place in the Kingdom of God. He literally comes to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10) and he'll do whatever it takes to discourage and make you doubt what God has already promised to you.But this time, we're not letting the devil win. When he tries to attack our minds with thoughts of doubt, our past, even our current situations - we're fighting back with Scripture. Your spot has already been secured so don't allow him to talk you out of what's rightfully yours.Scriptures:Romans 8: 16-17Ephesians 2: 8-19

How to Have Hope 1. Lay Hold of what You Already Have (1Peter 1:3-4; Heb.6:18-19) 2. Pray Until God Opens Your Eyes (Ephesians 1:15-18; 2Kings 6:14-17) 3. Learn the Scriptures (Romans 15:4; Psalm 145:4) 4. Go Through Tribulation Faithfully (Romans 5:1-4)

GOD'S POWER TO CHANGE ME August 5th - 6th, 2023 - Pastor Ryan Shook The Way to Real Change Not “God, then me.” Not “God, not me.” But “God through me.” Real change isn't behavior modification. Real change is spiritual transformation. The same grace that saves you is also the grace that changes you. Your spiritual why is God's purpose for you. Your spiritual how is God's power through you. Scriptures:Romans 7:14-15, 2 Corinthians 12:9, Romans 7:24-25, 1 Corinthians 15:9-10, Zechariah 4:6 Topics: Power, Change, Trust

Doug Horchak offers insight into what Paul meant when he talked about “the patience and comfort of the Scriptures.” NOTE: There is at least one instance in the New Testament where the term “the Scriptures” is applied to New Testament writings, and that's in 2 Peter 3:16. There, Peter acknowledges some of Paul's writing as having a place among the inspired Word of God. But generally, as noted in this episode, the use of “the Scriptures” in the New Testament refers to the Old Testament writings. This episode is a companion to the following Daily Bible Verse post: https://lifehopeandtruth.com/bible/blog/patience-and-comfort-of-the-scriptures/ Verse by Verse releases every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
