Start Your Transformation Now In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim Fortin explores why so many people feel lost, stuck, or overwhelmed in life—not because life is difficult, but because their attention is divided. Drawing from consciousness-based principles, Jim explains that when attention is split between inner truth and outer circumstances, progress stalls. Wherever attention goes, consciousness follows—and whatever consciousness serves becomes the master shaping results in health, money, and relationships. Jim unpacks how most people unknowingly give authority to the world of appearances—bank accounts, symptoms, relationship dynamics—while claiming to trust spirituality or higher intelligence. This inner contradiction creates tension, fear, and exhaustion. By learning to manage attention and live from consciousness rather than conditions, listeners begin reclaiming personal power and peace of mind. If you've been trying harder but feeling more frustrated, this episode offers a profound reframe that can help you stop serving the wrong master and start creating from alignment instead. What You'll Discover in This Episode: (02:50) Why divided attention creates divided results How focusing on both fear and faith at the same time keeps people stuck. (08:45) The real role of attention in creation Why where you place your attention determines what you experience in life. (12:11) Why circumstances are effects—not causes How health, money, and relationships reflect consciousness rather than define it. (17:49) The hidden mistake spiritual seekers often make Why trying to use spirituality to fix a life you still identify with doesn't work. (26:53) The true measure of progress in life Why peace of mind—not improved conditions—is the real sign of transformation. (29:30) Two questions that reveal who you're serving A simple self-check to see whether consciousness or circumstances runs your life. Listen, apply, and enjoy! Transformational Takeaway You are not stuck because life is against you—you're stuck because you're serving the wrong master. When circumstances dictate your peace, they control your life. But when you reclaim authority over your attention, conditions lose their power. Shift the cause, and the effects must follow. Master your attention, and you master your experience from the inside out. Mentioned Resources: http://Jimfortin.com/soul Let's Connect: Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?

Lee shares from Matthew 6 in the final week of our 'Jesus Generosity' series.
Message from Matthew Richey on January 25, 2026
Thyatira - Rev 2:18-29 - You Cannot Serve Two MastersPastor Aaron ThompsonHope Community Church, West Salem, WI
This sermon, drawn from Luke 16:1–13, uses the parable of the unjust steward to challenge believers to examine their priorities and stewardship of earthly resources in light of eternal realities. While the steward's dishonesty is not endorsed, Jesus commends his shrewd foresight in securing future provision, contrasting the world's worldly wisdom with the often complacent faith of believers. The central message is that Christians should be equally diligent in using their resources—money, time, and talents—for eternal purposes, recognizing that true faithfulness in small, temporary matters reflects readiness for greater, eternal responsibilities. The sermon warns against serving both God and mammon, urging a radical reorientation of life toward Christ, where all possessions are seen as entrusted by God for kingdom advancement. It calls for honest self-examination, urging believers to identify what truly occupies their hearts and to live as sojourners preparing for an eternal home, not as those who expect permanence in this transient world.
In this challenging continuation of our series on the Gospel of Matthew, Pastor Karl unpacks Matthew 6, where Jesus lays out His expectations for true disciples in the Sermon on the Mount.Building on the heart-revealing demands of chapter 5, Jesus shifts the focus from mere external obedience to the hidden motives behind our spiritual lives. He addresses three key disciplines—giving, praying, and fasting—assuming His followers already practice them regularly, not for human applause but as genuine devotion to God.With piercing clarity, Jesus warns against hypocritical “performance” that craves the praise of people, declaring that such motives forfeit any reward from the Father. Instead, He calls disciples to secret, sincere acts of worship done unto God alone, promising that the Father who sees in secret will reward what is hidden from human eyes.Pastor Karl highlights the revolutionary big idea: Jesus calls us from performance in the presence of people to authentic presence with God. He then explores the Lord's model prayer as a pattern of adoration, submission, dependence, confession, and protection—emphasizing especially the vital link between receiving God's forgiveness and extending it to others.The message culminates in Jesus' stark command not to store up earthly treasures that moth, rust, and thieves destroy, but to invest generously in heavenly treasures that last forever. Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also—revealing that generosity isn't primarily about raising money for God's kingdom, but about God raising children who trust and resemble their generous Father.A convicting yet grace-filled call to examine our motives, reorder our loves, and realign our lives as authentic disciples of Jesus—moving from religious show to wholehearted devotion that finds its reward in God Himself.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Jesus makes it clear — you can't serve both God and money. This lesson exposes how greed blinds us, why generosity frees us, and how trusting God changes everything. Who or what you serve will shape your whole life.

There are more than 2,300 Bible passages that speak about money. Why? Money is a master Satan frequently tempts us to serve. In fact, out of all the masters competing for our service besides God, money is probably at the top of the list. Money provides us with a false comfort and sense of security. Money serves as a source of pride. This week, Jesus' sharp words identify the impossibility of serving more than one master. More, Jesus teaches that if we dedicate our lives in service to money, money will always let us down. In contrast, God has proven that he is a master worth serving. When we serve God, money is put in its proper place. Instead of it being a master to serve, it becomes a tool in our service of our true Master.

Theme: No one can serve 2 masters. Intro – Serving Self & Money (6:4-6, 12; also 8:4-6) Amos 6:4-6 (NASB) 4 Those who lie on beds of ivory,And lounge around on their couches,And eat lambs from the flock,And calves from the midst of the fattened cattle,5 Who improvise to the sound of the harp,And like David have composed songs for themselves,6 Who drink wine from sacred bowlsWhile they anoint themselves with the finest of oils—Yet they have not grieved over the collapse of Joseph. Amos 6:12 (NASB) 12 Do horses run on rocks?Or does one plow them with oxen?Yet you have turned justice into poison,And the fruit of righteousness into wormwood. Amos 8:4-6 (NASB) 4 Hear this, you who trample the needy, to put an end to the humble of the land, 5 saying, “When will the new moon be over, So that we may sell grain;And the Sabbath, so that we may open the wheat market,To make the ephah smaller and the shekel bigger,And to cheat with dishonest scales,6 So as to buy the helpless for money,And the needy for a pair of sandals,And that we may sell the refuse of the wheat?” God's Attributes in Judgment: 1. Mercy (7:1-3) Amos 7:1-3 (NASB) 1 This is what the Lord God showed me, and behold, He was forming a swarm of locusts when the spring crop began to sprout. And behold, the spring crop was after the king's mowing. 2 And it came about, when it had finished eating the vegetation of the land, that I said, “Lord God, please pardon! How can Jacob stand? For he is small.”3 The Lord relented of this. “It shall not be,” said the Lord. 2. Patience (7:4-6) Amos 7:4-6 (NASB) 4 So the Lord God showed me, and behold, the Lord God was calling to contend with them by fire, and it consumed the great deep and began to consume the farmland. 5 Then I said, “Lord God, please stop! How can Jacob stand? For he is small.”6 The Lord relented of this. “This too shall not be,” said the Lord God. 3. Righteousness (7:7-17) Amos 7:7-17 (NASB) 7 So He showed me, and behold, the Lord was standing by a vertical wall with a plumb line in His hand. 8 And the Lord said to me, “What do you see, Amos?” And I said, “A plumb line.” Then the Lord said, “Behold I am about to put a plumb line In the midst of My people Israel. I will not spare them any longer. 9 The high places of Isaac will become deserted, and the sanctuaries of Israel will be in ruins.Then I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.” 10 Then Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, sent word to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, “Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel; the land is unable to endure all his words. 11 For this is what Amos says: ‘Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel will certainly go from its land into exile.'” 12 Then Amaziah said to Amos, “Go, you seer, flee to the land of Judah; and eat bread there and do your prophesying there! 13 But do not prophesy at Bethel any longer, for it is a sanctuary of the king and a royal residence.” 14 Then Amos replied to Amaziah, “I am not a prophet, nor am I the son of a prophet; for I am a herdsman and a grower of sycamore figs. 15 But the Lord took me from following the flock, and the Lord said to me, ‘Go prophesy to My people Israel.' 16 So now hear the word of the Lord: you are saying, ‘You shall not prophesy against Israel nor shall you prophesy against the house of Isaac.' 17 Therefore, this is what the Lord says: ‘Your wife will become a prostitute in the city, your sons and your daughters will fall by the sword, your land will be parceled up by a measuring line, and you yourself will die upon unclean soil. Furthermore Israel will certainly go from its land into exile.'” 4. Justice (8:1-14) Amos 8 (NASB) 8 This is what the Lord God showed me, and behold, there was a basket of summer fruit. 2 And He said, “What do you see, Amos?” And I said, “A basket of summer fruit.” Then the Lord said to me, “The end has come for My people Israel. I will not spare them any longer. 3 The songs of the palace will turn to wailing on that...

Ps. Jeffrey Rachmat challenges believers to examine what it means to serve God wholeheartedly. He reminds us that when we fully trust in God, money should never be the deciding factor in our decisions. Looking at Jesus' life, we see how He continually strengthened His disciples' faith through miracles and daily encounters. Likewise, God leads us through experiences to grow our faith, teaching us to see every situation through the lens of His possibilities. This sermon challenges us to embrace a faith that sees divine possibilities in every circumstance.
Jeremiah, often called the “weeping prophet” because of his sorrow over the persistent message of God's judgment, prophesied to the nation of Judah from the reign of King Josiah in 627 b.c. until sometime after the destruction of Jerusalem in 586. He dictated his prophecies to a scribe named Baruch (36:4, 32). Jeremiah's task as a prophet was to declare the coming judgment of God. However, throughout the book we also see God's concern for repentance and righteousness in individuals as well as nations. This dual focus is seen in God's instructions to Jeremiah: he was “to pluck up and to break down” but also “to build and to plant” (1:10). Jeremiah sees a future day when God will write his law on human hearts, and “they shall all know me,” and “I will remember their sin no more.”FaithLife Christian Ministries:Download our Free App:https://get.theapp.co/hghqPodcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/faithlife-christian-ministries/id1606442323Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/faithlifecmInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/faithlifecm?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==X:https://x.com/faithlifecmLinkedin:https://www.linkedin.com/in/faithlife-christian-ministries-82ab77191/YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@FaithLifeChristianMinistriesWebsite:https://faithlifecm.comDonate: https://subsplash.com/u/faithlifechristianminist/giveTable Talk with Yvette Gallinar:https://www.instagram.com/yvette_gallinar/https://www.facebook.com/yvettegallinarhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/table-talk-with-yvette-gallinar/id1729036339https://rumble.com/user/tabletalkwithyvettegallinarhttps://x.com/Yvettegallinarhttps://www.youtube.com/@tabletalkwithyvettegallinar
