Have you ever felt like following Jesus makes you the “weird one” in the room? Like you're left out of family gatherings, friend groups, or opportunities because of your faith? I've been there too.While reading the Old Testament, I kept coming back to the Levites, the tribe God set apart to serve Him. They didn't get land like everyone else, but God Himself was their portion. From the outside, it may have looked like they were missing out, but in reality, they had the greatest gift of all: closeness with God.In this episode, we'll talk about what that means for us today. The same presence that once rested on the Levites now lives in us through the Holy Spirit. So if you've been feeling lonely, misunderstood, or left out because of your faith, remember this: you're not rejected, you're chosen. You're not cast out, you're set apart.Scripture: Deuteronomy 10:8–9 · 2 Samuel 6:6–7 · 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 · Galatians 6:2 · Numbers 1–2 · Leviticus 16instagram.com/growingthrough.pod

In this week's message, Pastor Sean Steinke takes us deep into Acts 16 where Paul and Silas face resistance, persecution, and prison — and yet respond with praise. Through the stories of Lydia, a slave girl set free, and a jailer who finds salvation, we see how the Spirit of God leads His people into obedience, how His power breaks chains, and how worship in the darkest hour can spark joy and transformation. This sermon will challenge you to ask: What is your place of prayer? Who is your person of peace? And when will you lift your song?Come be encouraged to trust God's dunamis power, to find joy in Christ even in trials, and to live in the freedom that only Jesus brings.Scripture ReferencesActs 16:16–40 – Paul and Silas in Philippi: deliverance, persecution, prison, and praiseMatthew 5:11–12 – Blessed are you when persecutedJohn 3:16 – Believe and be saved1 Corinthians 1:22–24 – Christ the power of God1 Corinthians 2:5 – Faith resting on God's powerPhilippians 2:5–11 – The humility and obedience of ChristPhilippians 4:4 – Rejoice in the Lord alwaysPsalm 104:33 – I will sing to the Lord all my lifePsalm 149 – Praise as spiritual warfarePsalm 150 – Let everything that has breath praise the LordPsalm 8:2 – The praise of children silences the enemy

1 Peter is a letter written to be shared with all Christians in the early years of the church in a time of great persecution. Peter walked with Jesus, learned from Jesus, and launched the movement of the church. This letter helps us find hope in the midst of suffering, inspiration to live distinctly as followers of Jesus, and find purpose when we are pushed on every side to give up or conform. This week, we encounter 1 Peter 1:13-25 ESV and our invitation to be set apart and live counter to our culture. Speaker: Michael Bayne Text: 1 Peter 1:13-25 ESV

In this episode, we talk about those seasons when it feels like it's just you and God. No support, no understanding, no one to lean on—but that's exactly where God wants you. Learn why God sometimes isolates you, how to recognize His purpose in it, and how to grow stronger in faith when no one else understands.

Romans opens with a powerful introduction to Paul's identity, mission, and message. He calls himself a “slave of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God.” In these opening verses, Paul reminds us that the gospel is not a new invention but God's eternal plan, promised long ago through the Old Testament Scriptures and fulfilled in Jesus Christ. We see Jesus revealed as both fully man and fully God, the Son of David and the risen Son of God, who brings life and salvation to all who believe.Here are some things we'll learn from Romans 1:1–7:Why Paul begins by declaring himself a servant before anything else.How the gospel is promised in the Old Testament and fulfilled in JesusThe necessity for Jesus to be fully God and fully man.Why the resurrection is central to Jesus' identity and our hope.What it means to live “set apart” for the sake of God's name.How God's love calls us to belong to Christ and to live as saints in His presence.Support our mission and learn more atwww.alloflife.churchGive to the work of the gospel herewww.alloflife.churchcenter.com/giving

Wrinkled but Set Apart: What Linen Teaches Moms About Faith, Fashion, and Legacy Discover the surprising connection between linen, sustainable living, and your legacy as a mom. Learn how this natural, biodegradable fabric — woven through Scripture — reveals powerful lessons about faith, health, and hope for your children's future. Keywords: linen, sustainable living, faith and wellness, non-toxic lifestyle, moms, legacy, biodegradable fabrics, flax, Christian wellness podcast ------ Hi Moms!  Isn't it funny how both babies and linen show their wrinkles? With a little care, they smooth out — but eventually, the wrinkles return. And those wrinkles? They're not flaws, but proof of life unfolding. In this episode, we're exploring why linen is more than just a fabric. It's one of the strongest, most sustainable natural fibers — durable, breathable, and biodegradable — and in Scripture, it's a symbol of holiness, strength, and being set apart. Xoxo, Cynthia Here's what you'll learn in this episode:

In Romans 1:1, Paul reminds us what it means to be set apart for the gospel — living fully surrendered to Christ and committed to sharing the good news with others. Laura Bailey reflects on Paul’s transformation from persecutor to apostle and challenges us to examine our own willingness to share the gospel, even when it feels uncomfortable. Like Paul, we are called to let our lives reflect God’s grace and boldly carry the message of salvation to those who need to hear it. ✨ Highlights What Romans 1:1 teaches about living a life set apart for Christ Paul’s transformation from persecutor to apostle and its powerful testimony Why sharing the gospel message requires faith, courage, and obedience How our stories can point others to God’s grace and salvation A reminder that we’re responsible for sharing the message, not controlling the response

In this message, Pastor Corey Erman teaches what it means to live a life consecrated to God—set apart from the world and devoted to His purposes. Discover how walking in holiness, integrity, and obedience allows you to shine as a light in the midst of darkness. “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” — 1 Peter 2:9To support this ministry and help us reach the nations with revival visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠RiverWPB.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or text GIVE and any amount to (855) 968-3708.

With a panel of students representing from North Paulding, East Paulding, Allatoona, and Hiram High School, we discuss what it looks like to be set apart as an ambassador for Jesus Christ on your schools campus. 

Worship Coordinator Kristin Groene reflects on Leviticus as God's loving instruction to set His people apart and points to Jesus as the once-for-all sacrifice who makes us clean. She calls us to resist cultural patterns and embrace renewal in Christ, especially as we approach Easter.

As we go into this new school year, we are called not to just attend church and live as bystanders but to actively BE THE CHURCH as we have been set apart as sons and daughters of God. Join us for this commissioning from our College Men's Coordinator Danny Fernandez.Support the show

How was Set Apart to Serve part of summer activities for youth around the Synod? The Rev. Dr. James Baneck (LCMS Executive Director of Pastoral Education and Set Apart to Serve) joins Andy for our Set Apart to Serve series to talk about the extensive summer travel that took SAS around the country, the work he sees other people doing to recruit future church workers, why SAS is such a passion for him, and an important message for our listeners.

Today we're talking about pursuing holiness of heart and life, the third distinctive of KMC as a worshiping community. Holiness is weird. Its literal definition is "Set Apart," but that definition feels like it makes more sense"sense" when you talk about the OT nation of Israel. They were literally a set apart country and culture... So what do we do as NT believers that are integrated with believers? Are we called to be monks living in the desert!? How do we loudly/boldly join the world we live in, but stay set apart?

Why listen to the apostle Paul? I. He's carrying God's message to them, v1a. II. He believes the best about God's work in them, v1b. III. He wants God's best for them, v2. 

When we follow the Holy Spirit's leading, we increasingly become like Christ.

How does a family legacy of church work influence younger generations? The Rev. Dr. Todd Allen Jenks (pastor of St. Paul Lutheran Church in Ames, IA) joins Andy for our Set Apart to Serve series to talk about his journey into the pastoral ministry, who had the greatest influence on his decision to consider and enter the pastoral ministry, the story of his family of church workers including his father and siblings, an endowed scholarship in honor and memory of his father at Concordia Seminary St. Louis, how a scholarship like this helps others pursue the pastoral ministry, and his encouragement for those who are considering entering the pastoral ministry.

The Bible teaches us a new vocabulary for understanding the Christian life, and one crucial word it gives to our identity is “sanctified.” Today, Sinclair Ferguson explores what it means to be people who are set apart for God.

God doesn't see time the way we do. While we live according to hours, deadlines, and a focus fixed on the future (chronos), God operates in kairos—sacred moments filled with purpose and a pursuit of being fully present. We can sanctify chronological time by living with eternity in mind—sensing God's presence in every moment.  In this episode, David Hanegraaff explores the importance of a proper theology of time—Kairos—as opposed to a human understanding of time—Chronos. Learning to trust God's timing can reshape our daily lives, reorient our expectations, and draw us deeper into communion with Him.  Let us learn to pray the following prayer: “Lord, stamp eternity on our eyes so we live every moment with Your will and purpose in mind. Help us to live not in the fantasy of past and future, but the reality of Your presence right here, right now. Amen.” This is the second talk given by David Hanegraaff for the Set Apart retreat for young adults at Gospel for Asia in Wills Point, Texas. Interested in serving with Gospel for Asia?
