This Sunday, Pastor Rheva shared a powerful message from 1 Corinthians 1 titled “Give Us Wisdom.”Paul wrote to the young church in Corinth—a diverse, fast-growing community struggling with division. Pastor Rheva reminded us that, like them, we sometimes let personalities, opinions, or cultural trends pull us apart. But Paul calls us back to unity in Christ, the One who was crucified for us.The message of the cross may seem foolish to the world, but it is the very power and wisdom of God. Human wisdom—no matter how intelligent or advanced—can't replace what only God reveals through His Spirit.Pastor Rheva encouraged us to:Stay united around Christ, not divided by differences.Seek God's wisdom, not the world's opinions.Remember that if we lack wisdom, we can ask—and God gives it generously (James 1:5).Let's continue to walk in the power of the cross and the wisdom that comes from above.For more info, you can go to our website, check us out on Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube.

Are You a Part of What God Is Doing in Our Country Today? Do You Seek God's Presence in Your Life? MESSAGE SUMMARY: Can you tell what God is up to in the World, in our time, in our church, and in America? Are you a part of what God is doing in the world today, or are you just reacting to what God is doing, thereby, creating conflict and division? Psalms 105 reminds you of God's power in the world if you do seek His presence in your life: “Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually! Remember the wondrous works that he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he uttered.". On the other hand, Paul, in 1 Thessalonians 1:9, warns you of the implications for not including the presence of Jesus in your worldly considerations: “They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might.”. While the Lord is leading, and directing, it seems that we are wrapped up in our agenda and our way of doing things; therefore, we miss God's presence; and we miss the Holy Spirit in our lives.    TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, everything in me resists following you into the garden of Gethsemane to fall on my face to the ground before you. Grant me the courage to follow you all the way to the cross, whatever that might mean for my life. And then, by your grace, lead me to resurrection life and power. In Jesus' name, amen.   Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 100). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Hatred. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Love. “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). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Matthew 5:6; Matthew 5:10; Psalms 112:1-6; Psalms 119b:13-24.

Seek God From a Pure Heart by High Street Church

Church Life, “Are You a Good Berean?”                                     (Acts 17:10-15)  The Right Mind (vv. 10-11)Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom. - Charles Spurgeon -  Heb. 5:12-14 12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food, 13 for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child. 14 But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.  Ro. 15:4 For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. The Right Heart (v. 12) The Right Mission (vv. 13-15)How to Develop Wisdom and Discernment (through God's means of grace):1.     Seek God in the word (be a good Berean)2.     Seek God in prayer (Ja. 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.)3.     Seek God in the fellowship of the local church (‘iron sharpens iron')

For 9 October 2025, Thursday of week 27 in Ordinary Time, based on Luke 11:5-13

We started our new series this week, Essentials - 7 Pillars to Being Biblically Grounded. Pastor Matt shared about the importance of seeking God and not sin!

There's always hope for a new beginning with Christ. Don't ignore the warning signs in your life. Seek God, admit your weaknesses, and build your life on the firm foundation of Jesus. We are reminded of these things and so much more in today's sermon.CONNECT WITH SHELTER COVE HERE AT: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sheltercove..

Life rarely unfolds the way we expect. Setbacks, disappointments, and unexpected challenges can leave us feeling disoriented and discouraged. Yet the Bible reminds us that when our plans fail, God is still faithful, and He calls us to seek Him in prayer. In this episode, we'll explore how faithful men and women of God turned to Him in their moments of crisis and how we can do the same today.

Your heart is the control center of your life—what happens when you give it fully to God?

September 23, 2025 Ezek. 24:1-25:11; Ps. 108:5-13; Prov. 23:29-35; Heb. 11:1-7

Summary of the Sermon: “Entering In – The Prayer Journey” Central Theme The message calls believers to develop a deeper, more relational prayer life—“hanging out with God.” Prayer is not merely listing personal requests but a sacred journey of communion, thanksgiving, praise, repentance, and transformation, modeled after the Old Testament tabernacle. Key Biblical Foundations 1 Samuel 12:23 – Ceasing to pray for others is sin; intercession is a duty. Job 42:10 – Job's restoration came when he prayed for his friends, even those who hurt him. Matthew 5:44 – Jesus commands prayer for enemies and those who persecute us. These verses emphasize selfless intercession as central to powerful prayer. Steps in the Prayer Journey The speaker uses the tabernacle layout as a guide, showing how each stage draws believers closer to God's manifested presence: Thanksgiving (Gate – Psalm 100) Enter God's presence with gratitude for all gifts, from basic needs to spiritual blessings. Praise (Outer Court) Praise God for His mighty works in Scripture and personal life, inviting His manifest presence. Repentance (Brazen Altar/Laver – 2 Peter 3:9) Confess sins and clear hindrances to approach God boldly. Sanctification (Laver – 1 Timothy 4:4-5) Speak Scripture over oneself, acknowledging Christ's righteousness and cleansing. Communion & Word (Table of Showbread – John 6:48-58) “Have a cup of coffee with God,” feeding on His Word and gaining His perspective. Spirit-Led Prayer (Holy Place – Romans 8:26) Allow the Holy Spirit to intercede with groanings beyond words, aligning with God's will. Manifest Presence (Holy of Holies) Behind the torn veil is God's deepest mercy, love, and wisdom—true worship and intimate fellowship. Practical Insights & Challenges Prayer is Relationship, Not Ritual: Move beyond quick petitions; spend unhurried time with God. Selflessness: Focus prayers on others; sowing intercession brings blessing back (“boomerang effect”). Honest Conversation: Be real with God—share frustrations, failures, and doubts. Daily Practice: Even a few intentional minutes each day can transform one's spiritual life. Call to Action Believers are urged to: Commit to daily “hanging out with God,” using the tabernacle pattern as a flexible guide. Intercede for others, including enemies. Seek God's manifested presence, not merely His gifts. Embrace Scripture as spiritual nourishment and the ultimate source of wisdom. This sermon invites a shift from transactional prayer to a transformative, intimate friendship with God, leading to spiritual growth, deeper peace, and a vibrant faith.

Message from Harold Smith on September 23, 2025

Seek God and ask Him what He wants you to be doing, then commit to follow Him with a loyal heart and a willing mind. Do not fear or worry, and do not get discouraged. Then, bring the next generation along and teach them to do the same.

Nancy and I are back together to discuss a topic that frequently shows up in our inbox: one-sided marriages. These are spouses who reach out because, even in the midst of disconnect and hurt, they still desire a healthy, God-honoring marriage, but feel like they're the only one who cares or the only one willing to put in the work. How do you reconcile and reconnect? That's the focus of our conversation today. I'm praying this episode encourages those who feel alone and offers hope and next steps for fighting for your marriage.   Episode Highlights: Love like Christ without enabling. Communicate with curiosity, not accusation. Persevere in prayer and faithful action. Seek God's glory above all else   Quotes from Today's Episode: Fighting for your marriage as a Christian means pursuing Christ-like love even when it's not reciprocated This isn't about becoming a doormat or enabling destructive behavior, but rather embodying the gospel in your relationship. Approach with curiosity rather than accusation: "I've noticed you seem really tired lately. How can I support you?"  Continue showing love through actions without demanding emotional reciprocation. Don't take the bait to defend yourself constantly or prove your spouse wrong—this keeps you stuck in an unhealthy cycle. But remember, you can't force insight or repentance—that's between them and God. Humility doesn't mean accepting mistreatment or pretending everything is fine. Your humble confidence in who God created you to be can actually challenge your spouse to rise up rather than settle. Standing in the gap means interceding in prayer, maintaining hope when your spouse has lost it, and continuing to live out your marriage vows even when they're not. The goal is always God's glory and following His heart, which deeply desires reconciliation.  Couples' Conversation Guide: How connected do you feel to your spouse on a scale of 1-10? Do you feel like you are trying to shoulder the burden of your marriage alone? Are there unhealthy patterns in your marriage that need to be addressed?  Are there areas of your marriage that you've settled for mediocrity or disconnect?    Mentioned in this Episode: Find Awesome Marriage on Instagram!

Theme and Central Message The sermon emphasizes prayer as the believer's lifeline, urging a return to deep, personal communion with God. The pastor underscores that prayer is not a ritual to get things from God, but a relationship that transforms us into His likeness. The core progression is Purification → Prayer → Power → Perfected Praise, reflecting how God moves in a believer's life. Key Teachings Urgency of Prayer in Perilous Times We live in spiritually dangerous days, yet believers have direct access to God's power. The church must be a praying remnant, seeking God daily. Jesus' Instructions in Matthew 6 When you give, pray, and fast: These are expectations, not options. Pray privately, not for public show. Avoid empty repetition; God knows needs before we ask. The Lord's Prayer is a model: praise God's name, align with His will, seek daily spiritual and physical sustenance, forgive others, and ask for deliverance from evil. Purpose of Prayer Aligning our will with God's, not convincing Him to act. Daily intake of Scripture is “daily bread,” feeding the spirit and strengthening faith. Forgiveness is essential; unforgiveness blocks prayer. Personal Illustrations Healing of an ulcer after embracing his calling and trusting God's “layaway” provision. Learning forgiveness through prayer for a hostile co-worker, sensing God's compassion for the man's hidden pain. Power of God's Presence Difference between God's omnipresence and His manifested presence experienced in prayer. Prayer invites God's manifest power, greater than any earthly force. Call to Action Dedicated Time: Give God uninterrupted time daily—free from phone, TV, and distractions. Purification First: Like Jesus cleansing the temple (Matthew 21), we must allow God to purify our hearts to pray effectively. Restored Worship: God desires to restore “the tabernacle of David”—deep praise and worship following purified prayer. Closing Challenge The sermon concludes with an invitation: Begin or renew a consistent personal prayer life. Intercede for family, church, nation, and the world. Seek God's kingdom and will above personal requests. Key Takeaway: Prayer is the doorway to God's power and presence. As believers purify their hearts and devote themselves to prayer, they will experience God's power and enter into perfected praise.

St. Vincent Pallotti said, “Seek God and you will find God. Seek God in all things and youwill find God in all things. Seek God always and you will always find God.” When I was in highschool, this was used as a call and response to get the lunchroom or assembly to be quiet. Inhindsight, it is pretty sad that we took such beautiful words and reduced them to a bit of a Pavlovianresponse to get high schoolers to zip it, but I digress. At the heart of Pallotti's sentiment is this: Godis everywhere (this is the Jesuit side of Pallotti coming out) and all we have to do to find him is openour eyes and our hearts and look for him.I have been sitting with this strange scene that is a mix of a drama movie and spiritualwriting. I imagine two people talking after some form of suffering, maybe it is raining for cinematiceffect, with one looking at the other and saying, “how can you endure _____ and still see love?” Theother person, after a pause, responds, “how can I not? It is like opening your eyes on a clear day andtrying not to see the sunlight. All there is around me is love. Every color, shape, and composite thingradiates the love of God. It is inexplicable, but I can't really explain seeing the light either- it simplyis. And so too, in an even deeper way, is the infinite love of God.” I have not played out the rest ofthe script, but I do not think I will write the whole movie anyways.We live in, to say it in highly a-theological language, a pretty messed up world. War, violence,natural disasters, poverty, and so much more make it hard to watch the news and, somewhatunderstandably, hard for people to look at that seemingly endless void of evil and see a God, letalone the Christian God who is infinite love. And yet, as friends and followers of Jesus, we areinvited to open our eyes and to see love all around us. Yes, it is difficult, but it is necessary when ourcontext is the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ.In the last few weeks, I have faced the loss of a friend, accompanied some of my studentsthrough their own loss, and more of the normal ups and downs of life. It has not been easy, and yetwhen I open my eyes, once the dust settles and I have a chance to remember who I am and where Iam, all I see is love. I am aware, though, that this is a conscious choice. The easiest thing is to see thesuffering and to sit in it. As I said in my last post, suffering is a guarantee in life. If that is all we see,life looks bleak and even meaningless. If we see love, we realize that suffering can have meaning inour lives and that death and sin do not have the final say. Today and every day, regardless of whereyou find yourself, what you endure, and how you are feeling, let us follow Pallotti's model and seekGod, because when we do, we will realize that he is all around us and the only thing we can see if wechoose to look for Him. Author:Brian Rhude is the Project Coordinator for the Catholic Apostolate Center where he works in developing Center programming, assists in updating and creating new resources on the Center's website, collaborates on the development of social media content, and provides other services and collaborates including participation at and facilitation of various events and conferences.   Resources:Listen to On Mission: Talking to Children About SufferingOn Mission: St. Vincent PallottiBrowse Self Care ResourcesRead the Ad Infinitum blog Follow us:The Catholic Apostolate CenterThe Center's podcast websiteInstagramFacebookApple PodcastsSpotify Fr.

Are you an overthinker? Do you think about something way longer than anyone else would? I know I do. I sit there and ruminate over things that most people would have let go of after just a couple minutes. This is the struggle I have- maybe you have this same struggle. So I was so excited when I came across this book this summer. It is a brand-new release by Max Lucado called *Tame Your Thoughts: Three Tools to Renew Your Mind and Transform Your Life. After seeing it, I bought this book immediately and read it in one day- it is so good! It is full of some truth and practical advice to help. I am going to share some of my favorite takeaways from his new book as well as from an older book called *Anxious for Nothing by Max Lucado. I highly recommend these books!

Are You a Part of What God Is Doing in Our Country Today? Do You Seek God's Presence in Your Life? MESSAGE SUMMARY: Can you tell what God is up to in the World, in our time, in our church, and in America? Are you a part of what God is doing in the world today, or are you just reacting to what God is doing, thereby, creating conflict and division? Psalms 105 reminds you of God's power in the world if you do seek His presence in your life: “Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually! Remember the wondrous works that he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he uttered.". On the other hand, Paul, in 1 Thessalonians 1:9, warns you of the implications for not including the presence of Jesus in your worldly considerations: “They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might.”. While the Lord is leading, and directing, it seems that we are wrapped up in our agenda and our way of doing things; therefore, we miss God's presence; and we miss the Holy Spirit in our lives.    TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, everything in me resists following you into the garden of Gethsemane to fall on my face to the ground before you. Grant me the courage to follow you all the way to the cross, whatever that might mean for my life. And then, by your grace, lead me to resurrection life and power. In Jesus' name, amen.   Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 100). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Fear. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Faithfulness. “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). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Matthew 5:6; Matthew 5:10; Psalms 112:1-6; Psalms 119b:13-24.

Follow Everyday Prayers @MillionPrayingMomsA Prayer for Our Children to Seek God's Glory God does His most stunning work in hidden places, without seeking human applause. Just as He creates unseen beauty daily, He calls us to live for His glory, not for the praise of people.Today's episode by Tara Cole helps us look at Jesus’ example in John 5. We see how Jesus modeled humility and pointed all glory back to the Father. This challenges us, and especially our children, to shift our focus from likes, applause, and recognition to living faithfully before an audience of One. Reference: John 12:43 Prayer: Lord, may our children seek glory from you this school year and not from those around them. In Jesus' name, Amen.
