Sunday Evening Service - November 16, 2025 Steven Dell Exodus 3:1-12

2025-11-19 | Silicon Wafers 060 | DAILY UPDATES | Yesterday we dipped our toes into the political storm engulfing Zelenskyy's administration. Today we dive into the eye of the storm. For the first time since the full-scale invasion began, it's not only Putin's missiles or Trump's tantrums that threaten peace in Ukraine, but also what's happening inside Zelensky's inner circle. And this threatens to divide Ukraine and create internal animosity in a way that neither Russia nor the US could hope to achieve. The scandal is now inching closer to a man often described as Ukraine's “other wartime leader”, Andriy Yermak. Rumours of his fall may be premature, but even the fact that there are rumours, and even open calls for him to go, tells you about the intensity of the crisis. “Zelensky's Top Aide Could Be Sacked Thursday”On Nov. 18, the Kyiv Post reported that President Volodymyr Zelensky “might fire Andriy Yermak, his close confidant and the head of the Presidential Office, as early as Thursday, according to lawmakers.” (Kyiv Post)The story is based on Ukrainska Pravda's sources inside Zelensky's own Servant of the People party, who say the president has been canvassing options amid a political crisis triggered by a gigantic corruption scandal in the energy sector. (Kyiv Post)One unnamed lawmaker told Ukrainska Pravda that almost everyone in the faction is pushing the same solution: fire Yermak — or risk the ruling party collapsing under the weight of scandal and public anger.

DEUTERONOMY 33-34

When markets are kind, anyone can look like a genius. The test arrives when conditions turn—your systems, skills, and character decide what happens next.  What are the five drivers every leader must master? The five drivers are: Self Direction, People Skills, Process Skills, Communication, and Accountability. Mastering all five creates resilient performance across cycles. In boom times (think pre-pandemic luxury hotels in Japan) tailwinds mask weak leadership; in shocks (closed borders, supply chain crunches) only strong drivers keep teams delivering. As of 2025, executives in multinationals, SMEs, and startups alike need a balanced "stack": vision and values (Self Direction), talent and trust (People), systems and analytics (Process), clear messaging and questions (Communication), and personal ownership (Accountability). If one leg is shaky, the whole table wobbles. Do now: Score yourself 1–5 on each driver; identify your lowest two and set 30-day improvement actions.  Mini-summary: Five drivers form a complete system; strength in one can't compensate for failure in another. How does Self Direction separate steady leaders from "lucky" ones? Self-directed leaders set vision, goals, and culture—and adjust fast when reality bites. Great conditions or an inherited A-team help, but hope isn't a strategy. As markets shift in APAC, the US, or Europe, leaders with grounded values and a flexible ego change course quickly; rigid, oversized egos drive firms off cliffs faster. The calibration problem is real: we need enough ego to lead, not so much that we ignore evidence. In practice that means owner-dated goals, visible trade-offs, and a willingness to reverse a decision when facts change. Do now: Write a one-page "leader operating system": purpose, top 3 goals, non-negotiable values, and the conditions that trigger a pivot.  Mini-summary: Direction + adaptability beats bravado; values anchor the pivot, not the vanity. Why are People Skills the new performance engine? Complex work killed the "hero leader"; today's results flow from psychologically safe, capability-building teams.Whether you run manufacturing in Aichi, B2B SaaS in Seattle, or retail in Sydney, you need the right people on the bus, in the right seats. Trust is the currency; without it, there is no team—only compliant individuals. Servant leadership isn't slogans; it's practical: career conversations, strengths-based job fit, and coaching cadences. Climbing over bodies might have worked in 1995; in 2025 it destroys engagement, innovation, and retention. Do now: Map your team on fit vs. aspiration. Realign one role this fortnight and schedule two growth conversations per week for the next month.  Mini-summary: Build safety, match talent to roles, and coach growth; teams create the compounding returns, not lone heroes. What Process Skills keep quality high without killing initiative? Well-designed systems prevent good people from failing; poor processes turn stars into "low performers." Leaders must separate skill gaps from system flaws. Mis-fit is common—asking a big-picture creative to live in spreadsheets, or a detail maven to blue-sky strategy all day. Across sectors, involve people in improving the workflow; people support a world they help create. And yes, even "Driver" personalities must wear an Analytical hat for the numbers that matter: current, correct, relevant. Toyota's jidoka lesson applies broadly: stop the line when a defect appears, then fix root causes. Do now: Run a 60-minute process review: map steps, assign owners, check inputs/outputs, and identify one automation or simplification per step.  Mini-summary: Design beats heroics; match roles to wiring, make data accurate, improve the system with the people who run it. How should leaders communicate to create alignment that sticks? Great leaders talk less, listen more, and ask sharper questions—then verify that messages cascade cleanly.Communication isn't a TED Talk; it's a discipline. Listen for what's not said, surface hidden risks, and test understanding down the line. In Japan, nemawashi-style groundwork builds alignment before meetings; in the US/EU, crisp owner-dated action registers keep pace high without rework. In regulated fields (finance, healthcare, aerospace), clarity reduces audit friction; in creative and GTM teams, it accelerates experiments. Do now: Install a weekly "message audit": sample three layers (manager, IC, cross-function) and ask them to restate priorities, risks, and decisions in their own words.  Mini-summary: Listen deeply, question precisely, and ensure the message survives the org chart; alignment is measured at the edges. Where does Accountability start—and how do you make it contagious? Accountability starts at the top: the buck stops with the leader, without excuses—and then cascades through coaching and controls. As of 2025, boards and regulators demand both outcomes and evidence. Strong leaders admit errors quickly, fix them publicly, and maintain systems that track results and compliance. Accountability isn't blame; it's ownership plus support: clear goals, training, checkpoints, and consequences. In startups, this prevents "move fast and break the law"; in enterprises, it fights bureaucratic drift. Do now: Publish a one-page scoreboard each Monday (KPIs, leading indicators, risks) and hold a 15-minute review where owners report facts, not stories.  Mini-summary: Model ownership, build coaching and monitoring into the cadence, and make evidence a habit—not a surprise inspection. How do you integrate the five drivers across markets and company types? Balance is contextual: tighten controls in high-risk/low-competency zones; grant autonomy in low-risk/high-competency zones. Multinationals can borrow playbooks (RACI, stage gates), but SMEs need lightweight equivalents to preserve speed. Startups should resist the "super-doer" trap by delegating outcomes early; listed firms should fight analysis paralysis by protecting experiments inside guardrails. Across Japan, the US, and Europe, leaders who pair people development with process discipline outperform through cycles because capability compounds while compliance holds. Do now: Build a "risk × competency" grid for your top workflows and adjust oversight accordingly within 48 hours. Review monthly as skills rise.  Mini-summary: Tune people and process to context; move oversight with risk and capability, not with habit. Conclusion: strength in all five, not perfection in one Leadership success is engineered, not gifted by luck. When conditions turn, Self Direction provides the compass, People Skills provide power, Process Skills provide traction, Communication provides cohesion, and Accountability provides grip. Work the system, in that order, and your organisation will keep moving—legally, safely, profitably—even when the weather's foul.  Author Credentials Dr. Greg Story, Ph.D. in Japanese Decision-Making, is President of Dale Carnegie Tokyo Training and Adjunct Professor at Griffith University.

In a season of Stillness, but I'm still here. ❤️‍

Presented by Lauren Stibgen Did you know the widely-used workplace term servant leader doesn't have roots in the Bible? Sometimes, when something seems to fit what we believe as followers of Jesus, we easily ascribe it to what we know from the Bible. You and I know there is no better wisdom for living than God's Word! Whether in our personal or business life, we find truth and goodness for any situation we face in His Word. And, although the author and scholar who coined this term didn't find this truth from the Bible, we clearly see the Word calls us to lead lives as servant leaders. What is it mean to be a servant leader? Coined by Robert Greenleaf in 1970 in an essay “The Servant as a Leader”, Greenleaf seeks to understand a character from a fictional story—not the Bible. This story talks about a band of men on a mythical journey who have a servant who cares for their every need. “Once he disappears, their band falls apart, and everything is in disarray.” One of the members finds the servant later, and discovers he is a “guiding spirit, and noble leader.”[1] To my listeners today, this is why abiding in the Word and in community with other believers is critical! We might say Greenleaf was reading biblical allegory, but he was not! Greenleaf goes on to describe who a servant leader is. Some of a servant's characteristics include someone who desires to serve and then become a leader rather than having a leader-first attitude seeking unusual power or material possessions. A servant leader makes sure the needs of other people are his highest priority, and they are receiving benefits from the servant leader. Further descriptors of servant leadership include empowering others, standing back to let others shine, humility, authenticity, courage, accountability, acceptance of other perspectives, and stewardship. Let's replace this fictional character and the worldly descriptors and think of Jesus in God's word, which is where we need to seek our wisdom about being a servant leader! --- [1] Greenleaf, R. K. (1970). The servant as leader. The Greenleaf Center For Servant Leadership, Cop.

Can God really do His work through you when your life feels like a total mess? In this powerful episode of the Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher Podcast, Maurice Harker (founder of Life Changing Services and creator of the Spiritual Psychology Masterclass) explores what it really means that “God's work cannot be frustrated”—even by our weaknesses, sins, or failures.Drawing on the story of Martin Harris and the 116 lost pages, early Church history, and real-life examples from modern disciples, Maurice dives deep into spiritual psychology—the mental and emotional patterns behind fear, shame, perfectionism, and “I've ruined everything” thinking. He also shares memorable insights like “the miracle is in the mess” (a phrase coined by Karen Broadhead of Mothers Who Know), and why God often uses our most chaotic, humiliating experiences as the raw material for miracles.

In this message from our Ruin to Redemption series, Pastor Bob Erbig unpacks Isaiah 49:1–13—one of the Servant Songs that reveals how God's chosen Servant cancels the noise of despair with the melody of redemption. Just as noise-cancelling headphones silence distractions, the Gospel quiets the world's competing voices and tunes our hearts to hope, salvation, and mission.Discover how the Servant's melody restores, frees, and unites God's people—and how we are invited to join the harmony until creation itself sings for joy.November 16, 2025

Send us a textThe ash on Job's head and the thorn on Christ's brow seem worlds apart—until you sit with the sorrow long enough to hear the echoes. We took Job 2:12, the image of friends who no longer recognize the man they love, and followed the thread through Isaiah's marred Servant, the garden tomb where Jesus wasn't recognized at first, and all the way back to the first promise in Genesis 3:15. What looks like defeat—a bruised heel, a broken body, seven days of silence—becomes a doorway into victory when we see how Scripture binds its own wounds with hope.We talk about reading the Bible with precision and courage, honoring the real meaning of torn garments and a rent veil, while still letting the patterns teach us. Job remains a type, not the Savior, yet his innocent suffering and steadfast humility help us recognize the form of Christ's path. The incarnation reframes recognition itself: the Son leaves unapproachable light, takes on flesh, and is missed by many who knew the prophecies best. Job, once honored and whole, sits in dust unnoticed by his closest friends. The descent is not the end; it is the shape of redemption.From there, we unpack Genesis 3:15 with fresh clarity. A bruise is temporary, a crushed head is decisive. The cross exposes the serpent's limits; the resurrection makes the verdict public. We also look at the subtle sovereignty in places like Esther, training our eyes to find Christ across genres and centuries. Finally, we linger over seven days of silence as a complete pause that teaches us to wait before we speak, to sit low before God, and to let grief become a teacher rather than a test. If you're ready to see Christ in the places you least expect, press play, share this episode with a friend who loves digging into Scripture, and leave a review to help others find the conversation.Catch On Fire PodcastsThis channel does a deep dive into the scriptures so as to teach what it means to be...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Teaching by Thomas Abbott on the 16th November 2025.

In this message, Pastor Miles teaches the powerful difference between tithes and offerings—and how both shape a heart that impacts the world. The tithe reflects our obedience, but offerings reveal our affection, trust, and desire to partner with God's mission. When we return what belongs to God and willingly release what is ours, we don't just sustain the house—we help send light into the city. Watch this message to discover how a servant's heart can transform lives far beyond the church walls.

As God's Servant to punish the Evil and honor the Good, what do Christians owe the Civil Magistrate? What are the duties of Christian Citizenship? What does it mean to submit to the governing authorities in Romans 13 and is taxation theft or something else?

In 1 Thessalonians 3:1–5, Paul reveals the heart of a self-sacrificing servant, a leader who cares deeply, strengthens faith, encourages perseverance, teaches hard truths, and protects believers from spiritual harm. This passage challenges us to embrace that same Christlike posture: loving one another enough to encourage, warn, and walk together faithfully for the sake of the gospel. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

In a world that trains us to grab power and protect ourselves first, Jesus flips the script. In Mark 10:42–45, He shows that true greatness isn't found in being served but in serving. Moving from selfish to servant begins when we follow His example—laying down our preferences, lifting up others, and choosing the cross-shaped path where love leads and pride dies. Scripture:  Mark 10:42-45

“The Deliverance of God's Servant” Daniel 6              November 16, 2025 Pastor John Choi  Sermon Application [file]   ----more---- Daniel 6:19 Then, at break of day, the king arose and went in haste to the den of lions. 20 As he came near to the den where Daniel was, he cried out in a tone of anguish. The king declared to Daniel, “O Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to deliver you from the lions?” 21 Then Daniel said to the king, “O king, live forever! 22 My God sent his angel and shut the lions' mouths, and they have not harmed me, because I was found blameless before him; and also before you, O king, I have done no harm.” 23 Then the king was exceedingly glad, and commanded that Daniel be taken up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no kind of harm was found on him, because he had trusted in his God. 24 And the king commanded, and those men who had maliciously accused Daniel were brought and cast into the den of lions—they, their children, and their wives. And before they reached the bottom of the den, the lions overpowered them and broke all their bones in pieces. 25 Then King Darius wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages that dwell in all the earth: “Peace be multiplied to you. 26 I make a decree, that in all my royal dominion people are to tremble and fear before the God of Daniel, for he is the living God, enduring forever; his kingdom shall never be destroyed, and his dominion shall be to the end. 27 He delivers and rescues; he works signs and wonders in heaven and on earth, he who has saved Daniel from the power of the lions.” 28 So this Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and the reign of Cyrus the Persian.   Through the deliverance of His Servant, God offers the good news of deliverance to all people.         I.

Pastor Dru Rodriguez reflects on Paul's greeting to the Romans, emphasizing that through Jesus' resurrection power and grace we are called to belong to Christ and live in Spirit-empowered obedience for his name among the nations. Even from hardship, Paul can't help but proclaim why he serves Jesus.

In this episode of Yahweh's Money, we're talking real faith, real care, and real financial empowerment. I sit down with Bethany Hawkins, Client Success Manager at Crusaders for Change®️, LLC, and Founder of Crackers in Soup, to explore the financial, emotional, and spiritual realities of caregivers and senior care workers—those who serve our most vulnerable every day.From navigating personal financial struggles to supporting nurses and CNAs through life's hardest seasons, Bethany shares what she's learned about leadership, humility, and why true care begins with stability at home. Together, we unpack why investing in financial wellness for caregivers isn't just a workplace perk—it's a spiritual calling.You'll discover:The Cost of Care – How untreated financial stress impacts mental health, job performance, and patient care.Faith in the Workplace – What Galatians 6:9 has to teach employers about lifting those who pour themselves out daily.Breaking the Silence on Money Shame – How safe financial conversations can transform retention, morale, and community.From Burnout to Balance – Why financial education, coaching, and counseling are critical in care-based workplaces.The Power of Purposeful Leadership – The difference between managing employees and truly supporting the hands that serve.Featured Scripture:Galatians 6:9 — “And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”Action Step:This week, whether you're a caregiver, leader, or advocate, check in with the people who serve. Ask a colleague, staff member, or friend how they're doing—not just professionally, but financially and emotionally. Small conversations lead to big transformations. Then, explore Crusaders for Change®️, LLC to learn how financial wellness can become an act of faith in your workplace.Learn more about Crusaders for Change®️:Website: crusaders4change.orgFinancial Wellness Program: www.crusaders4change.org/financial-wellness-programs-for-organizations or www.crusaders4change.org/fwp-seniorcare Connect with Bethany: Send us a text

In this episode, I'm opening up about what it really means to be the hands and feet of Jesus to serve others with a genuine heart, but also to allow others to serve you. For a long time, I thought serving meant always being the strong one, the helper, the giver. But God has been teaching me that it's okay to be on the receiving end too. Sometimes letting others show up for you is part of how He reminds you that you're seen, loved, and cared for. In today's world, so many of us are trying to hold it all together, and truthfully, we all need a little help sometimes. I want to talk about the beauty of both sides what it looks like to give selflessly and what it means to receive without shame.  In this episode, I'll share:  How we can show up for others in simple, intentional ways  Why serving doesn't always look "big" sometimes it's just being present  How to let others help you without guilt or pride  What it means to reflect the love of Jesus in everyday life  This is a vulnerable conversation, but it's one I believe so many of us need right now. Because being the hands and feet of Jesus isn't just about doing it's about becoming.

Bold Prayers | #2 | Speak, Lord, Your Servant is Listening | 11/9/25

In some of His last moments with His disciples, Jesus expresses both the status of a humble servant and the posture of prayer. Through His promises, providence, and prayers we have the assurance of Jesus both now and forever. Our Savior is in heaven right now advocating for us before the Father, a powerful and profound thought in our day to day lives.

Send us a textEver wonder how Abraham, Moses, Jacob, and David—deeply flawed and openly sinful—could be called friends of God and welcomed into His presence? We walk through the hard question with a clear answer: God never changed the rules of salvation; He changed the sacrifice. Using Hebrews 10 and Romans 3, we unpack why animal sacrifices were temporary shadows and how the cross became the public demonstration of God's righteousness, showing Him to be both just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.We explore the tabernacle's mercy seat, the meaning of substitutionary atonement, and the vivid picture of blood covering the law that everyone had broken. Then we connect the dots to Isaiah 53's prophecy of a righteous Servant who would be pierced for our transgressions and justify many. Old Testament believers trusted God's promise of a coming Redeemer; New Testament believers trust the Redeemer who has come. Different vantage points, same object of faith. That's why you can say the ancients were “saved on credit” and the debt was paid in full at Calvary.Along the way, we confront the lives of Scripture's imperfect heroes to show that grace doesn't minimize sin; it magnifies the Savior. No sin goes unpunished and no sinner who trusts Christ stands beyond forgiveness. If you've wrestled with guilt, shame, or confusion about how the Bible's two halves fit together, this conversation offers a single, sturdy bridge: one cross for all time. Join us to see how justice and mercy meet in Jesus and why salvation has always been by grace through faith alone.If this message helped you see the gospel's unity across the Testaments, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review so others can find it.Support the showStephen's latest book, The Disciples Prayer, is available now. https://www.wisdomonline.org/store/view/the-disciples-prayer-hardback

Love is the same as absolute consciousness, pure intelligence or the power of God. When you have enough love inside you, there really are no problems. Problems only arise when you believe you're separated and loveless. " - Robert Adams Day 1"Why do you confuse yourselves by worrying? Leave the care of your affairs to me and everything will be peaceful. I say to you in truth that every act of true, blind, complete surrender to me produces the effect that you desire and resolves all difficult situations.O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)Concluding prayer: Mother, I am yours now and forever.Through you and with youI always want to belongcompletely to Jesus."-Servant of God Don Dolindo Ruotolo "Your faith has saved you; go in peace." - Luke 7:50
