1 Samuel 30If you have ever shown up just a little too late, a little too tired, and found a huge problem to solve—a problem big enough that you were scared and everyone around you was afraid—then you'll know what David is feeling in this week's text. It was scary, and there wasn't much hope—until David strengthened himself in the Lord, who gave His people strength to walk forward and provided for their needs.

Receiving and Sharing God's Love: The Secret of St. John the Evangelist The Witness of Love: Learning from St. John the Evangelist Yesterday, as we honored the Feast of St. Stephen, we reflected on his life and martyrdom. The word “martyr” means to witness—offering a total and unwavering testimony of faith. Today, we celebrate another profound witness: St. John the Evangelist. Among the apostles, he alone was not martyred, yet his entire life was a testimony to God's love. Every day, he bore witness to this love, living in its fullness. No wonder he is called the Beloved Disciple. John was present at the pivotal moments of Christ's life—at the Transfiguration, in the Garden of Olives, and at the foot of the Cross, when others had fled. He was also among the first to witness the Resurrection, running ahead of Peter to the empty tomb. The Gospel tells us that when he saw, he believed. The Secrets of St. John's Witness The first key to John's unwavering faith is revealed in his own writings: “Beloved, what was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen, what we have touched—that is the Word of Life.” To truly witness Christ, we must encounter Him personally. Have we heard, seen, and touched Jesus in our lives? We cannot bear witness to what we do not know. John teaches us that faith begins with receiving God's love—only then can we share it with others. His letters emphasize that we cannot claim to love God if we do not love one another. The second lesson comes from the moment at the empty tomb. John ran faster than Peter, yet he did not enter first—he waited out of respect. When they both entered, the Gospel tells us that John saw and believed. Faith is nurtured by love, reverence, and humility. Perhaps our own struggles in faith stem from not fully receiving God's love, which alone enables us to love others better. A Story of Transformation A story is told of a man who converted to Catholicism. Before his baptism, a priest asked him some basic questions about the faith. “Where was Jesus born?” the priest asked. The man hesitated. “I'm sorry, Father, I don't know.” “Who was Jesus' foster father?” “Gabriel… or maybe I forgot.” The priest, surprised, questioned whether the man was serious about his faith. But the man responded: “Father, before I chose to become a Catholic, I was a terrible husband and father. I drank heavily, smoked, and was violent toward my family. My children feared me, and my wife suffered under my anger. I tried many times to change, but nothing worked. Then, at a funeral Mass, I heard a homily that touched me deeply. I realized God's love was calling me to transformation. And for the first time, change was not impossible—it was happening within me. So, Father, if you ask me where Jesus was born, I may not know. But I do know this—Jesus is my Savior, because He changed me.” Mary: The Final Secret of John's Faith At the foot of the Cross, Jesus entrusted Mary to John. The Gospel tells us that John took her into his home. This is another secret to his unwavering faith—he walked his journey with Mary. She, who carried the Word made flesh, helps us receive and respond to God's love more perfectly. This Christmas, and every day, may we first receive God's love, so that we may share it with others. We cannot give what we do not have. Listen to this Meditation Media.

Have you ever wondered if you were qualified to share Jesus with someone? I want to tell you that you are qualified and this is how I know… Colossians 1 says, This is the secret: Christ lives in you. This gives you assurance of sharing his glory. Because Christ lives in you, you can share His glory! That's a promise. You don't need to know the Bible inside and out, you just need to share Jesus. You can always simply tell others what Jesus has done in your life. Once I was lost, now I am found. I lived in the darkness, now I live in the light. Once, my life felt like death, and now I've come to life. Once, I was wandering, searching for peace, now I've found a home and a family and peace in Jesus Christ. Whatever He has done in your life, just share that! Christ lives in you. Share His glory with the world. Remember, there is always hope with God.

Presented by Lauren Stibgen When you think of your work as your mission maybe this quote from Bob Goff will resonate with you, “It's not mission work, it's just Tuesday.” Seamlessly blending work and mission can help you wake up to say “it's just Tuesday” like Tracy. Tracy leads post-merger and acquisition business integration for a medical device manufacturing and distribution company. Her job is to bring people together under one unified company using the same tools and technologies. She states, “missional living is bringing his kingdom world to light in this world, through everyday acts and behaviors. It is starting my day and incorporating God's mindset to whoever and whatever I do to serve him, not my own ego.” Tracy is truly a builder. The book of Nehemiah has a lot of meaning for her as he is a builder, and her work requires building or rebuilding in many different facets of the business. The joy of the Lord is my strength is a verse Tracy keeps close as she works to build the company and others each day. A few years ago, Tracy didn't depend on God for her work. When her pride was hit hard, working for a boss who didn't believe in her, she realized how much she needed God to help her in a situation she couldn't solve herself. Starting each day reading Scripture and praying helped Tracy change her own mindset about how she thought of work verses how she realized God wanted her to work. Building this daily habit took time, but she couldn't imagine a day without starting in his Word. It grounds her and directs her focus for the day as a leader. Being focused on God's word has helped Tracy to subtly weave God's wisdom into her day to day. Often, she will use his Word in the coaching and encouragement she gives to her team and peers. They may not know it as a specific verse, but she is able to pour into people with God's Word. Sometimes, Tracy will wear something with a bible verse on it to start conversation! It really is subtle, but it is her dedication to being in the Word that helps her keep this consistent in her leadership. When peers have gone through serious professional and personal challenges, Tracy does share her faith. She has felt them welcome God's Word and wisdom into some very difficult situations. Sharing her faith and specific ways she feels God can provide comfort, has also helped her develop deeper relationships at work. This past year, several male leaders at Tracy's company have had severe medical or other personal issues impact them or their families. She came alongside them as an encourager, intentionally checking in, telling them she is praying for them. It has been accepted with much gratitude. She feels like God has positioned her to be an encourager at work and enjoys leaning into this strength that she views as a gift from God. Sharing God at work can be subtle or more direct!

Luke 1:26-45 "Lifting Up Prayers and Sharing God's Story" Pastor Steve Kim

How can you build relationships with your co-workers, so you have an opportunity to share God's love with them, tell them of your faith journey, and be a witness for Jesus on the job? That's what we've been looking at this week. I've offered eight suggestions so far, and if you missed any of them, they are all available on our website at christianworkingwoman.org Today we're looking at the last two ways we can share God's love on the job. 9. Be ready to apologize when you need to. My friend, Janet, says the major difference between her and her co-workers who are not yet believers is she apologizes more often! Being humble enough to apologize when you're wrong is definitely a God thing, and it really does go a long way to breaking down barriers and solving problems. 10. Build relationships with your coworkers by using work break times as an opportunity to talk. It is not appropriate to use any significant amount of company time for personal conversations. But there is your lunch hour and other times you can use for building relationships. Let me tell you about my friend, Cynthia. Many years ago, she worked in a difficult environment, where she was not fully accepted as a co-equal, because she is African American. She sensed this attitude, particularly on the part of one coworker, who told her they could never be friends because of their ethnic differences. But Cynthia, determined by God's grace to overcome those differences, began what she called Project Love. Each week, she invited one of her coworkers to have lunch with her. She even designed special invitations for them, and so one by one, she began Project Love. That began to break down those barriers as her coworkers got to know her and vice versa. And the woman who declared they could never be friends—well, as it turns out, she has become a close friend and confidant of Cynthia's. Even though they no longer work together, they stay in touch, and Cynthia hears from her regularly. Love never fails, my friends. If there are some difficult relationships where you work now, why don't you ask God for your own Project Love idea, instead of giving up on those relationships.

Are we sharing life with others or taking it away by being unkind and unloving?

Have you shared God's love on the job lately? Sometimes it seems like the workplace is the last place we can talk about God or share our faith. Paul wrote to the Corinthian Christians that they were … a letter from Christ … written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts (2 Corinthians 3:3). We can be the word of the living God, a letter of love from Jesus to the people we work with, when we take time to let God's love shine through us. I've given you six ideas on how to do that already this week. Here are numbers 7 and 8. 7. Smile Are you aware your body language is louder than the words you speak? It's true, and so we can send messages of love without saying a word. Smiling is surely one of the easiest and most effective ways to do that. All of us can smile; doesn't cost a thing; doesn't take any time. You just have to remember to do it. Proverbs reminds us a cheerful look brings joy to the heart (Proverbs 15:30.) Why don't we work harder at smiling more? I'm not advocating phony, insincere smiles, but many of us just need to work at smiling more. We feel smiles on the inside, but don't show them on our faces. That's my problem, I know, so I really try to remember to smile more. You may have been born with a smile on your face, so it comes easy for you. But some of us need to remember to smile, because it brings joy to the heart, and it shares a little of God's love with others. 8. Do the “dirty work” sometimes, even if it's not your job. There are always those things that need to be done in a workplace environment that nobody really wants to do. They aren't in anyone's job description. Things like cleaning the kitchen or making the coffee; cleaning up after a meeting or tidying up the general work area. In smaller workplaces, it might be taking out the trash or taking the mail to the post office. If you just do those things occasionally, without being asked and without grumbling, it would be a good way to show a loving, caring attitude toward the people you work with and for. Too often we think the only way we can witness for Jesus is through the words we say—quoting Scripture or giving our testimony or explaining the four spiritual laws. And frankly, there are not many opportunities on any given day to do that. But there are countless ways to show the love of God through our actions and our attitudes. But we must be intentional about it.

I'm offering ten suggestions for sharing God's love where you work. If you missed the first four, you'll find them on our website at christianworkingwoman.org. Now, here are suggestions five and six. 5. Help others with their workload when you can. Maybe you have an assistant who helps you, and you know she or he is just overloaded with work at the moment. If you said, “Hey, I can stay an extra hour tonight and help get that done,” don't you think that could really be an effective way to communicate God's love? Or maybe you know a co-worker is struggling with a certain assignment. Maybe she doesn't know how to get started. If you've got some experience or expertise that would help them, just stop what you're doing and help them out. Obviously, you have your own work to do, which cannot be neglected, but there are times when stopping to help someone else is just the right, thoughtful thing to do. 6. Look for opportunities to congratulate and compliment people any time you can. Think about it: aren't there times in the day when you think something nice about someone, but you don't express it? I try to make myself verbalize the compliments I think. For example, if you like the outfit someone is wearing, and think, “That looks nice on her,” then why not say it to her? If you think, “He did a great job on that,” why not say it? I think we would be more encouraging to others if we simply determined to verbalize the compliments we think. Also, look for ways to congratulate people on any accomplishment possible. “I noticed you stayed late last night and finished that job. Thanks.” “Your daughter made the Dean's List this semester? Terrific!” There are so many little things we can do on any given day to show love and concern for others, to demonstrate we are thinking about someone beside ourselves. We live in a world that is pretty self-centered, but as servants of Jesus Christ, we are called to look not only to your own interest, but also to the interests of others, as we read in Philippians 2. These things we can do because we have the motivation of God's Spirit within us, and the power he imparts to us, and believe me, God's love will be felt as you intentionally seek ways to share God's love on your job.

Have you ever had an opportunity to preach the gospel where you work? If you are in a secular workplace, I seriously doubt it! Then how can Christians effectively share God's love where they work? I'm sharing ten suggestions anyone can do to become the Bible people read, the living Word of God on our jobs. Here are suggestions three and four. 3. Go through your schedule for each day and pray for the people you know you will interact with. I know many of you are facing added stress and pressure from your jobs these days. There seems to be more workload for fewer people, and I hear from many of you that you're expected to do more than you can get done in a day's time. This kind of environment can easily cause interpersonal problems with coworkers. So, pray in advance for the people you will interact with on any given day. Remember, no one is in your life by accident, so even that difficult co-worker can be changed by God's love. Ask God to give you wisdom in how best to deal with the difficult people on your job. Ask him to help you see them the way he sees them and to give you a loving attitude toward them. Remember, you don't have to like someone to show them God's love. Make it a daily practice to pray through your day before it starts, and you will discover God supplies strength and ideas and helps to get you through the day with a loving and kind attitude toward the people you encounter. 4. Plan acts of kindness. And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful (2 Timothy 2:24). If you are a servant of Jesus Christ, your calling is to be kind to everyone—everyone! I think we have to remember to be kind, don't you? You can just get so busy, trying to do your job and keep all your balls in the air, that you forget to do the kind things that matter to people. Here are two easy suggestions. Send cards at appropriate times. You could find out the birth dates of your coworkers, put them on your calendar, and then simply send a birthday card. Even an email card would be fine. It doesn't have to be expensive. Celebrate significant events in the lives of co-workers—like promotions, graduations, or marriages and anniversaries. It doesn't take much effort to bring in some goodies and have a small celebration, and it truly is meaningful. But you need to plan those acts of kindness and be intentional about them.

If you go to a secular workplace every day, you may wonder what in the world you can do in that kind of environment to share your faith in Jesus Christ, to really have an impact for the Gospel. This week I'm going to give you ten suggestions for sharing God's love where you work. Set aside a certain time each day or week to pray for your workplace. I have discovered many Christians don't really pray for their workplace. I think sometimes we separate our “secular jobs” from our spiritual life, as though the two have nothing in common. But for a Christian, everything should be sacred. We should all see ourselves in “full time Christian work,” and so our workplaces are, in effect, our mission field. What is the best way to pray for your workplace? First, pray for those in authority, for your relationship with them, for wisdom as they make decisions. Then pray for the success of the business, that God will bless the efforts of those working there. Pray for the morale of the workers, that there will be good working relationships, a good team atmosphere, conducive to good work. And then pray for whatever distressing or troubling situations you are experiencing. For example, if the company is experiencing a difficult economic situation, pray for new business, for creative marketing ideas, and so forth. I would encourage you to set aside a specific time to pray for your workplace, maybe on Mondays, so you have this programmed into your schedule, and you don't overlook it. Take prayer walks through your company/organization/building, live or virtual. Now, this is a clandestine kind of prayer, not one you advertise or talk about. But it's easy to do. If you're working in your workplace, maybe you could take a lunch hour, say once a week, and walk through your company, up and down the various hallways and floors, inconspicuously, and quietly pray for each person and department as you walk by their office or place of work. Or if it's a small workplace, you might walk around the building. Perhaps you might do this before work one day, when not too many people are around. This is an effective way to remember to pray for the people in your company, department, or division. Or if you work from home, pray through a list of the people who work in your company or division. Here are two things any of us can and should do to bring God's love to our workplace. I truly believe you will be amazed to see how prayer can change things where you work.

Sharing God's Holiness ദൈവത്തിൻ്റെ വിശുദ്ധിയിലെ പങ്കാളിത്തം | Br.Damien Antony | Morning Glory Episode 1333

The world is a very different place from what it was just a few years ago. Today's post-everything world is arguably more divisive, political, indifferent, and impatient than ever. While many believe that the best course of action is to find a way back to how things used to be, is that actually the best way forward? Stephanie welcomes Pastor Daniel Im to discuss his upcoming book, The Discipleship opportunity, releasing June 18, 2024. If you are looking to understand the world we live in, so that you can properly address those around you with the message of Christ but without being “that Christian” then this conversation will help you identify several profiles of people, so that you will know how to address them. Do they need to hear the gospel right now? Or is it more about building relationships first? Could it be about alternative, creative ways to tell them about Jesus? It all depends on how they currently approach their spirituality. What can you do, and how? Daniel Im will help us understand who “sleepers” are, as well as “seekers”. Now, what about the “consumers” in your church? You know, the ones who come to watch and would rather not participate? How do you relate to them? And, if you are what Daniel calls a “disciple” then what is your role in the body of Christ? Given the many ways that our world has changed, it's time for Christian leadership strategies to change, and for churches to approach making disciples, evangelism, and preaching differently than yesterday. The Discipleship Opportunity is a powerful tool for church leaders seeking to navigate the challenges of our rapidly evolving, post-pandemic, post-Christian, and post-everything world. In this helpful resource, Daniel Im equips readers with practical ways to reach those who are spiritually asleep in your church and community and disciple your people to know Jesus deeply. Learn disciple-making principles that are as straightforward as they are timely. Whether you're a seasoned leader or just starting out, don't miss this opportunity to emerge as a stronger, healthier, and more evangelistic church. Gospel Spice is giving away THREE COPIES of this book. All you need to be, is signed up to our newsletter! So sign up today at GospelSpice.com to receive the email that will invite you to enter the giveaway for a chance to win. MORE ABOUT THE DISCIPLESHIP OPPORTUNITY BY PASTOR DANIEL IM The Discipleship Opportunity will equip and empower you to lead, evangelize, disciple, and preach differently in our post-pandemic, post-truth, post-Christian, post-[fill-in-the-blank] planet. Daniel Im debunks outdated assumptions and looks at four types of people in your community—the sleeper, the seeker, the consumer, and the disciple. Then, he unpacks how to understand, reach, and preach with relevancy and passion so that more people will come to know Jesus deeply and be known by Him fully. You'll find the strategies presented in The Discipleship Opportunity will help you to become healthier, stronger, and better able to fulfill Jesus' command to make disciples of all nations. https://www.danielim.com/thediscipleshipopportunity/  We invite you to check out the first episode of each of our series, and decide which one you will want to start with.
