I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Monday morning, the 8th of September, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Exodus 3:14: ”And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.' “ Wow, what a title! I'm so excited this morning. “I AM who I AM.” I AM is the name of God, and then we go to John 14:10:”Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? “You see, Phillip said, ”Show us the Father.” “I am the Father. I am in Him and He is in me.” I can hear somebody say, ”Oh, are you sure about that?” Don't be like Phillip. Just believe, folks. Our faith is all about believing in the fact that Jesus is God. How can I prove that? Well, Matthew 1:23 is very specific, and His name is Immanuel, which is translated, God with us.Oh folks, today I want to tell you, we need to open our eyes, and we need to ask the Holy Spirit to show us Jesus in this world. You know, I'm a farmer. When I get up early in the morning, as the sun rises. I can see Him in the sunrise, I can see Him in the sunset, I can see Him in the face of a newly born baby. Oh yes I can. I can smell Him when the first rains after a long dry winter start falling onto the dry ground. I can feel Him in my Spirit!Do you remember that beautiful old hymn, “All over the world the Spirit is moving?” If you know it please sing it with me:All over the world the Spirit is moving,All over the world as the Prophet said it would be, Hallelujah! All over the world, there's a mighty revelation,Of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.Oh, deep down in my heart the Spirit is moving,Deep down in my heart as the Prophet said it would be, Hallelujah!Deep down in my heart, there's a mighty revelation,Of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.Jesus bless you. Open your spiritual eyes and you'll see Him today,God bless you and goodbye

Welcome to our Reveal Podcast,How you ever noticed how we often treat Revelation like a strange, and mysterious book at the end of the Bible? Many Christians find it intimidating and a little scary.But there's the truth: Revelation was NOT written to confuse Christians. It was to comfort them.Revelation is not primarily about predicting the end of the world, it's about revealing the One who holds the world in his hands. it pulls back the curtain so we can SEE Jesus for who HE truly is; wise, holy, powerful and victorious.To support this ministry and help us continue our God-given mission, click here:Subscribe to our channel for the latest sermons:https://www.youtube.com/@revealvineyardLearn more about Vineyard Church Reveal Campus:https://www.revealvineyard.com/Follow us on social media!Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/vineyardrevealcampus Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/RevealVineyard

As part of the Ordination Service, we will hear from Pastor Steve Gee, who was invited by Nathan to give the charge. The sermon on will be a charge to Nathan as a pastor, but it will still be a sermon. What I mean by that is that God's Word will be preached and the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ proclaimed. As Nathan receives his charge, it will also be a charge to us, the church. Pastors aren't some kind of class above our outside the rest of the members of the church. Pastors are members of the church who have been given the opportunity to serve the church fully with their time and their lives. And so in the charge to Nathan, we also receive God's Word as his church.------------------------------------------- Connect with us on Social Media Website | Instagram | Threads | Facebook | Vimeo------------------------------------------- Download our AppApple App Store | Google Play Store

Sermon, 08/24/2025: Sir, We Wish To See Jesus
Pastor Alan R. Knapp discusses the topic of "A Sermon on the Edge of the Eschaton: Living By Faith at the Edge of the Eschaton Part One" in his series entitled "Hebrews 2020: We See Jesus" This is Increment 396 and it focuses on the following verses: 2 Thessalonians 1:6-10; Hebrews 10:38-39
Jesus hears when people of faith call to Him for mercy.
Agnostics, Atheists, Seekers, and Christians Watch Jesus Followers; Do They See Jesus or a Christian Hypocrite in You? MESSAGE SUMMARY: In 2 Corinthians 3:12-18, Paul writes a complex statement that tells you, as a Jesus Follower, about the most important tool that God gives you for communicating the Gospel to others-- God lets others see Jesus in you through your life in Christ! Therefore, by living in Christ, your life becomes the most compelling argument for the Gospel – an argument that far surpasses the power for God's Kingdom from written or spoken words. Paul's 2 Corinthians 3:12-18 text reads: “Since we have such a hope, we are very bold, not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face so that the Israelites might not gaze at the outcome of what was being brought to an end. But their minds were hardened. For to this day, when they read the old covenant, that same veil remains unlifted, because only through Christ is it taken away. Yes, to this day whenever Moses is read a veil lies over their hearts. But when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.”. Do others, from your life, see Jesus in you? TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, in order to be with you, I need you to show me how to “create a desert” in the midst of my full, active life. Cleanse me from the pressures, illusions, and pretenses that confront me today so that my life may serve as a gift to those around me. Amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 26). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because I am in Jesus Christ, I will seek God's perspective on my situation. For I know that in all things God works together for good to those of us who love Him and are called according to His purpose.

Jesus said to the Jewish people in John Chapter 5 the following: "John 5:36 But I have a greater witness than John's; for the works which the Father has given Me to finish—the very works that I do—bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me. 37 And the Father Himself, who sent Me, has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form. 38 But you do not have His word abiding in you, because whom He sent, Him you do not believe. 39 You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. 40 But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life. The works He does testifies of Him and that the Father has sent Him." This is in reference to the declaration of Christ and the works He would complete according to the scripture, according to what the law and the prophets declared. He was telling them if they search Moses, Ezekiel, Isaiah and looked they should see Him. He was telling them that He was the fulfillment of the law and the prophets. They testify of Him! Isaiah 53 is a perfect illustration of the declaration of Jesus from the scripture, from the prophet Isaiah. God spoke through Isaiah, written in 53 of Christ's suffering and His resurrection. This is plain in our Bibles. This is God speaking and when Jesus came, the Word God spoke made flesh. However, the whole of the scripture, Genesis to Malachi, is His Testimony. When we go to the scripture, we should be going to SEE JESUS! This should be our desire, that I see Jesus from the scripture. Consider the tabernacle in the wilderness where the presence of God dwelled. When Jesus came, He was the Tabernacle where God dwelled. He was the place of the Offering. He was the High Priest of the Tabernacle. He was the Presence of the Living. In Him was housed the Father. Consider that fulfillment. Consider when God said by Isaiah that he was going to do a new thing that He was speaking of the New Covenant and the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This was the New He was declaring. It was the testimony of Jesus. Jesus was the Word spoken made flesh! Glory to God.
We are still on our Equipping Series and this week Ryan Wallace unpacks the power of “Debates, Questions and Dialogue” through John 4:1–30.In this message, Ryan shows us how Jesus engaged with the Samaritan woman at the well; not with arguments, but with Spirit-filled dialogue that led to transformation.This teaching reminds us that:Healthy questions open doors for gospel conversations.True equipping is about meeting people where they are.Ordinary dialogue can lead to extraordinary impact.Listen in and be encouraged to lean into conversations with grace, courage, and a heart for transformation.Join our family every Sunday at 09:30 AM at Voortrekker High School as we gather to worship, grow, and experience the presence of God together.#christianpodcast #podcast #christian #faith#christianpodcasters #jesus #god #christianity #bible #podcastlife
Jesus Follower's Greatest Witness for the Gospel of Jesus, in a Hurting World, is for Others to See Jesus in Them MESSAGE SUMMARY: You need to live the Christian life in whatever you do – at home; in your job; in the way that you drive; and in the way that you treat your friends. We live in a hurting world, but God wants more for you. To achieve God's desire for your life, you must stay in fellowship and communion with God; and you must let Him work in your life. In Colossians 3:17, Paul challenges us: “And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”. If you live your life, in all places and situations, in the name of Jesus, you will live a better life in our hurting world. As Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 10:31: “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.". Remember, the greatest witness for the Gospel, as a follower of Jesus, that you can give is for others to see Jesus in you. TODAY'S PRAYER: Father, I confess that when difficulties and trials come into my life, large or small, I mostly grumble and complain. I realize the trials James talks about are not necessarily “walls,” but they are difficult to bear, nonetheless. Fill me with such a vision of a transformed life, O God, that I might actually consider it “pure joy” when you bring trials my way. I believe, Lord. Help my unbelief. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 94). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Inadequacy. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Abundance. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5).

When we see Jesus as He really is, the Sovereign Lord of creation changes everything about our lives. There is no part of life that He is not sovereign over.
As You Live on Earth, God Has Work for You; You Are to “Live in Christ” So that Others See Jesus in Your Life MESSAGE SUMMARY: As a Jesus Follower, God Expects You to Both Work for Kingdom and Witness for the Gospel. Also, as a Jesus Follower, you are to live in Christ and to let others see Jesus in your life. If you are to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for you – God has work for you; God's work for you is real work. The spiritual life is work – it is fruitful labor. Also, Godly conduct is a necessity to live in Christ as we are instructed in Philippians 1:27: “Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ . . .”. Not only does God have a work for you, but you, also, have a witness for Him through your actions, words, and your attitudes. Your actions, words, and attitudes constantly reflect who and what God is in your life. Paul admonishes us, in Galatians 6:2,9-10a to follow the law of Christ and to do good and live a moral life: “Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ . . . And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone.”. Also, Paul, in 1 Thessalonians 2:10-12, succinctly presents what it means for a Jesus Follower “to live in Christ”: “To be a witness, and God also, how holy and righteous and blameless was our conduct toward you believers. For you know how, like a father with his children, we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and charged you to walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.". Are you following Jesus so that you are living in Christ and letting others see Jesus in your life? TODAY'S PRAYER: Father, I confess that when difficulties and trials come into my life, large or small, I mostly grumble and complain. I realize the trials James talks about are not necessarily “walls,” but they are difficult to bear, nonetheless. Fill me with such a vision of a transformed life, O God, that I might actually consider it “pure joy” when you bring trials my way. I believe, Lord. Help my unbelief. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 94). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that, because I am in Jesus Christ, I will think like Jesus (Philippians 2:5f). “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.”. (Philippians 4:14).

Read OnlineJesus entered the house of Peter, and saw his mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever. He touched her hand, the fever left her, and she rose and waited on him. Matthew 8:14–15How do we properly respond to the action of God in our lives? In the passage above, we are given the witness of Peter's mother-in-law to answer that question. It should be noted that Jesus was on a continual mission of healing. In fact, before arriving at the house of Peter, Jesus had just healed a centurion's servant. When the centurion came to Jesus stating that he was not even worthy to have Him enter his house, Jesus saw the centurion's faith and healed his servant from a distance. After arriving at the house of Peter, we are told that many people brought to Jesus those who were possessed by demons, and Jesus healed them all. But between the healing of the servant and the healings of the many, another healing occurred. The response to this healing sets for us a wonderful example.Peter's mother-in-law was ill and in bed with a fever. It's unclear just how ill she was, but the fact remains that she was ill to the point of being in bed. Notice, first, that Jesus was not even asked to heal her. Rather, He “saw” her ill and in bed, approached her of His own choosing, “touched her hand,” and she was healed.Within the same sentence describing Jesus' healing, we are told that “she rose and waited on him.” First of all, “she rose.” This should be seen as a symbolic depiction of what we must do when we are touched by grace. The grace of God, when it is given to us, must have the effect of causing us to rise. We rise from sin when we confess that sin and receive forgiveness, especially in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. We rise up every time God enters our lives to give us direction, clarity and hope. To rise is to be strengthened to dispel the burden that sin and confusion causes. We rise in strength, renewed and determined to go about the will of God.After this woman rose, she “waited” on Jesus. This is the reason we rise up when touched by grace. We are not given God's grace so that we can go back to our sin, or pursue our own ventures, or do our own will. We rise so that we can serve our Lord and His holy will. In a sense, Jesus' actions in our lives impose upon us a holy burden. But it is a burden that is light. It's an obligation to serve and give ourselves to our Lord to attend to Him, His holy will, and to all that He calls us to do.Reflect, today, upon this threefold action of the Gospel. See Jesus approaching you and touching you in your prayer. Know that He comes to you not only because you pray to Him but out of His own initiative when He sees you will respond. Then consider your response. Rise from that which keeps you down. Let God's grace free you from the burdens you carry. And as He grants you this grace, determine to wait on Him and to serve His will alone. The service of our Lord is what we are made for, and doing so will enable us to continually receive His grace through His touch of love.My merciful Jesus, You continually come to me, approaching me to reach out and touch me with Your grace. You desire my healing and strengthening every day. Help me to be open to all that You wish to bestow and please free me from all that keeps me down. May I rise up in service of You and Your holy will so that Your Kingdom may be built up more fully through me. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.
