David Mathis | What happens when believers meet together? Christians both give and receive grace from the God who gathers them in true fellowship.

What you invest yourself in determines what you reap down the road. That's not a motivational principle — it's a law. It applies to your relationships, your finances, and your faith. And the same law that's been working against you can start working for you the moment you begin training differently.The practical application is less heroic than most people expect. In relationships, training shapes how you treat people — whether you're honest, whether you respect boundaries, whether you can see past your own comfort. In finances, the decisions you're living with today are largely the fruit of choices made years ago — which means the financial life you want in ten years depends on the training you start right now, and the pattern holds across every area: what you allow to build momentum in your life will eventually determine what you experience.The disciplines themselves are straightforward. Prayer — ten minutes a day of honest conversation with God. Scripture — not a program, just a verse you actually sit with. Worship — making Jesus the direct focus of your attention rather than going through motions. Generosity — giving at some level that breaks the cycle of fear-driven accumulation. These aren't heroic acts. They're reps. And over time, the reps produce something no amount of willpower alone ever could: a life that actually looks like the one you were designed to live.Support the mission of the Salty Pastor ministry!

Which of the four practices — prayer, Scripture, worship, generosity — is most absent from your daily life right now, and what would it take to start?2. If you project your current habits ten years into the future, what kind of marriage, faith, and finances do they produce? Are you satisfied with that trajectory?3. Where has a sense of "I've already failed at this" kept you from starting again? What would it look like to simply begin tomorrow?

But how does a dead King usher in all the sweeping promises of the Kingdom that is to come? That’s what’s agonizing Jesus’ followers during his arrest, trials, crucifixion, death, and burial. And honestly, that’s what can agonize you and me as we follow Jesus through this world experiencing the trials and opposition He predicted. Beholding the risen King rightly fills our hearts with joy, resolve, adventure, and steadfastness.

From the Archive: Does God send evil? Does He allow evil? Does he use it to teach us a lesson? Or does He give Satan permission? These are questions that we have to get settled deep within us to truly know who God is. 

By Jorge de Campos - Insubordinates, both idle talkers and deceivers, rebuke them sharply. They profess to know God, but in good works they deny Him. But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine.

Our Lord Jesus Christ took on the punishments for our sins. He gave Himself over to great suffering so that we may be saved. Through the model He established, numerous saints throughout history embraced His path and became victims for the sins of mankind. These great acts of compassion, in unity with Our Lord, helps ensure our salvation.

If you're a Christian, spiritual maturity isn't about becoming more self-sufficient; it's about becoming more childlike.In today's episode, we continue our sermon series from the archives, The Gospel According to Mark, as Paul explores why Jesus welcomed little children to come to him and what their faith teaches us about entering the kingdom of God.To hear more sermons from Paul, visit PaulTripp.com/Sermons

Here's an uncomfortable question worth sitting with: is what you're currently experiencing in your life the result of pure circumstance — or have you somehow trained yourself to experience it? Most people resist that. But at some level, whatever is happening in your marriage, your finances, and your faith right now is connected to how you have or haven't trained yourself prior to this moment.Paul tells his young disciple Timothy to train himself to be godly — using the exact same word that describes athletic training. Consistent, daily, purposeful effort directed toward a specific outcome. The reason most people aren't experiencing more of what Jesus has for them isn't that Jesus is withholding it. It's that they've never trained themselves to recognize it, receive it, or understand it when it shows up.Two things get in the way of that training. The first is deception — and its defining characteristic is that you don't know it's happening while it happens. It almost always starts by pulling you away from the spiritual practices that keep you anchored. One man said it plainly: "I kind of knew I was getting off track before the really bad stuff happened. And the first thing I did was quit going to church." The second obstacle is guilt. Guilt isn't helping you grow — it's one of the primary tools used to keep people locked in the same patterns, too worn down by shame to actually train for something different.Support the mission of the Salty Pastor ministry!

In what area of your life — relationships, finances, faith — can you honestly trace your current experience back to how you've trained yourself over time?2. Have you ever noticed yourself drifting from spiritual disciplines right before things went sideways? What does that pattern tell you?3. How does guilt function in your spiritual life — is it helping you grow, or is it keeping you stuck in patterns you can't seem to break?

The devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus is a devotion to Our Lord's immeasurable love. Although the Sacred Heart devotion had been around since the Middle Ages, its prominence came at a crucial point in ecclesiastical history, namely during the spread of Jansenism in France during the 17th century. Contrary to the belief in God's mercy, Jansenism taught that we can never be pleasing to God. As fallen and fallible humans who are often consumed by our own desires, we find it difficult to return love to Our Lord despite His great love for us. However, His love, and the unfathomable patience that comes with that love, never abates.

Sunday Morning WorshipBecome What Christ is Making You - Colossians 3:12Dr. Paul ThompsonJune 21, 2026Notes | https://calvarydothan.com/wp-content/uploads/2026_06_21_1.pdf

Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! What if the path to real influence isn't climbing higher—but lowering yourself so others can be lifted up? In this message from 1 Peter 5:5-6, we explore Peter's call to "clothe yourselves with humility" and discover why humility is far more than simply being modest. It's a way of seeing others through God's eyes—recognizing their worth, dignity, and value—and choosing to elevate them above ourselves. Pastor Stetson unpacks how Jesus modeled this kind of humility, why God opposes pride, how God's grace flows toward the humble, and what it means to trust ourselves to God's mighty hand. In a world that constantly pushes us to get ahead, this message reminds us that true strength is found in lowering ourselves so others can rise. For prayer and to stay connected, please visit: https://www.cccgreeley.org For Giving: https://www.cccgreeley.org/give/ Discussion guide: https://cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/2026-6-20-21-Group-Discussion-Questions.pdf Tune In: A Father's Day Conversation

Sunday morning sermon audio from Preston Highlands Baptist Church.

What role does baptism play in the life of a new believer and what does it signify? How many times does someone have to be baptized? Are we required to be baptized before we can partake in the Lord's Supper? In his sermon, “United In Death, United In Life: Baptism As the Sign of Union With Christ” centered on Romans 6:1-5, Pastor Alex Trotter answers these questions and more as he shows how baptism is one of the two ordinances of the church, and he explains how believer's baptism is one of the first commandments required of every new follower of Christ.

Joe Clifford's sermon for Sunday, June 21, 2026, at Myers Park Presbyterian Church in Charlotte, NC. Subtitles/closed captions for this video are available by clicking the “CC” button on the video player. Full sermon manuscripts can be found at myersparkpres.org/manuscripts.

1 Peter 3:17-2217For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God's will, than for doing evil.18For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, 19in which he went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison, 20because they formerly did not obey, when God's patience waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through water. 21Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers having been subjected to him.

In week two of The Story We're In, we explore God's call of Abraham in Genesis 12 and discover how His plan has always been to bless the world through a people. Tracing the story from humanity's rebellion in Genesis 1–11 to God's covenant promises, we see that God's faithfulness is greater than our failures. we're reminded that Jesus redeems our brokenness and invites us to become a blessing to others.Check out the sermon on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or bridge.tv/sermons.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrCSupport the show

Jesus claimed that Moses wrote about him long before he ever walked the earth as man. If that's true, how could anyone miss Jesus in the words of Moses?

Nature's intelligence functions with effortless ease. And when we harness the forces of harmony, joy, and love, we create success and good fortune with effortless ease. On today's episode, we discuss the spiritual law of least effort. Faith and love permit us to relinquish concern and embrace ease. Affirm, “My trust in God manifests miracles,” and take note of how trust accomplishes more through ease, than worry and scheming accomplishes with hard work. A direct way of stating this is, “Easy does it: the good you seek is seeking you.” Author and recovering “Hardaholic” Anne Sermons Gillis inspires all of us to relinquish ego driven struggle and embrace the law of least effort.  For more information and/or to contact us go to: https://www.darrellanded.com/ To become a Patreon contributor vist the link: https://www.patreon.com/funniestthing Find Anne Sermons Gillis at http://annegillis.com/ Discover Darrell Fusaro at https://www.darrellfusaro.com/
