Today on Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're discussing Kanye West's latest internet meltdown and what it reveals about the state of our unfortunate over-sexualized and depraved culture. From celebrity chaos to societal decay, it's clear—without God, the world spirals into total confusion and sin. We're breaking down the bigger picture and talking about why it's time to turn away from worldliness/wickedness and the dysfunction of degeneracy and back to the truth and love of Christ. Jesus is the only sane way forward, ladies and gentlemen.--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-copy?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=tbs_thebiblestudy_searchads-nixwdmd&tw_source=google&tw_adid=608801073541&tw_campaign=17672311083&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAC-_2dRN1WU6lhTaWFNApFgzBkVe_&gclid=CjwKCAiAwaG9BhAREiwAdhv6Y_Xc6w4LM7_4otTu1-XgzYjKKwhwbNBCdqLFVTDdXToND7Rt6JU2hBoC3hsQAvD_BwE

Too many people in the church today want to hide. They would rather hide than get to work and Paul, as well as Jesus, makes it clear, we are to work for the kingdom! Paul even goes to say that God gives us the desire to work and to accomplish His will. Can we say that if a person doesn't have that desire, then there is a disconnect in their relationship with God? YES! Just like Christmas lights that are connected to a power source yet half the lights aren't working because one little bulb has a disconnect. After you carefully comb through the string of lights trying to figure out which one it is, you discover it, plug it correctly, and boom...the lights are working! Shine your light! Shine THE Light...Jesus! Put your hands to the plow and plant seed!

We are discussing emotional infidelity on the show today. It's a topic no other guest has covered. During my interview with Dr. Grace English, she shared the following statistic from Shannon Ethridge's book, Every Woman's Battle: “More than 90% of women have had emotional thoughts of another man that's not their spouse.” Grace explained that she has struggled with emotional infidelity for many years. Dr. Grace English is a speaker and the director of the Deep in the Heart Conference, which is held in Texas every spring. In Ethridge's book, Grace learned a love-relationship addiction stems from a childhood in which you weren't nurtured. Not having a good relationship with her parents left her with a father-daughter wound and a mother-daughter wound. Sharing her struggles with two close friends led to her realizing that speaking her secret broke its power. In this episode, Grace explains why speaking our struggles is the first step in breaking the stronghold it has over us.Notable quotes from this episode with Grace English:· “Me sharing it [emotional infidelity] with a friend actually opened that door where the power of the secret is broken when it's spoken.”· “He [God] can't speak truth into my life if I refuse to acknowledge the truth of what is actually happening to me.”· “Somebody needs to speak light into the darkness. Shine the light because so many times we want to hide in the dark.”Scripture references:· Matthew 5:28 reads, “But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”· 1 Corinthians 10:13 reads, “No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.”Connect with Grace English:On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/grace.s.englishOn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gracecenglishAbout Deep in the Heart: https://deepintheheartministries.com

In "Shine The Light," a profound part of our "Reflection" series, Pastor Tyler Lynde takes us on an inspirational journey through the powerful words of Isaiah 60:1-3. This sermon delves into the transformative impact of Jesus' birth, exploring the world's journey from the brink of darkness to the brilliance of divine light.Tyler invites us to ponder the depth of darkness that would engulf the world without Jesus. He illuminates the significance of His arrival, not just as a historical event, but as the pivotal moment in God's grand plan for humanity. The sermon unfolds the story of the Bethlehem shepherds, societal outcasts who were divinely chosen to witness the birth of Christ, drawing parallels between their experience and our own call to recognize and radiate Jesus' light.As we walk through the narratives of divine silence, Roman occupation, and the bright beam of God's favor upon the humble, Tyler emphasizes the enduring relevance of these stories. He beautifully weaves together scriptural references and personal narratives, highlighting how Jesus, the light of the world, brings glory to the ordinary and overlooked.The sermon concludes with a powerful call to action for believers. Tyler urges us to not just bask in Jesus' light but to actively shine it in our lives. Through stories, prayers, and scriptural insights, he encourages us to be luminaries in a world that desperately needs the hope and redemption Jesus offers."Shine The Light" is more than a sermon; it's a heartfelt invitation to each of us to embrace the light of Jesus and to illuminate the paths of those around us with His love and truth.We are Trinity Community Church in Knoxville, Tennessee.Subscribe to our Podcast & YouTube channel to find past sermons, classes, interviews, and more!Find us on Facebook & Instagram
Jesus uses the metaphors of salt and light to show who HIs followers are and what they must be in this world. We are in a world of darkness, but we have been transferred from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of light. As the light, we proclaim the truth and rescue others out of the darkness through the Gospel of Jesus Christ, who is The Light.
The Purpose of the Baptism in the Spirit is to receive power to communicate God's blessing (life) to others (Acts 10:38). Once we receive His Spirit upon, we carry His power, and release it by speaking His words. We must have (1) His WORD in our heart and (2) His Spirit UPON us, to empower our words. By His death, Jesus purchased the Blessing of the Spirit, and then He ascended to Heaven on the resurrection morning (John 20:17) to appear before the Father to receive the Spirit on our behalf. Later that day He started giving the Spirit to His disciples - first, the Spirit WITHIN in John 20:21-22: “As the Father has SENT Me, I also SEND you.” When He had said this, He BREATHED on them, and said to them: “receive the Holy Spirit.” This is the Great Commission in JOHN. The 1st Blessing brings us into God's Kingdom, which must come before being empowered to be His ambassador (2nd Blessing). Thus, His teaching up to that point focused on preparing them to receive the Spirit within. But once they received this 1st Blessing, He prepared them to receive the 2nd Blessing 50 days later, the BAPTISM in the SPIRIT, when they received POWER for ministry. So, the evening they received the Spirit within (John 20:22), He then talked about their MISSION, and the POWER He would give them to fulfil it (Luke 24:46-49) - the Great Commission in LUKE. Though they received the Spirit within, they had yet to receive the Spirit UPON, to empower them to witness. In the 40 days, He gave them their mission in greater detail. This is in all 4 Gospels and Acts. Mark 16:14-20 tells us what He said a week later (John 20:26-29) - the Great Commission in MARK, which says God works with us, as we SPEAK His WORD. Matthew 28:18-20 records what He told them later in Galilee - the Great Commission in MATTHEW. "I will be WITH you always" (v20) refers to His anointing with power as we go (Acts 10:38). Then at the end of the 40 days, He again gave them instructions for their mission in Acts 1:4-8 - the Great Commission in ACTS. He said the Spirit would come upon them giving them POWER to WITNESS (the Baptism in the Spirit). This was fulfilled a few days later (Acts 2:1-4). As we WITNESS, we release His POWER. So, the apostles RECEIVED (1) the Spirit WITHIN on the evening of the Resurrection (John 20:22), and then (2) the Spirit UPON 50 days later at Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4). One picture of sharing the Gospel is SHINING the LIGHT of CHRIST. The whole world is in darkness (1John 5:19), and so its greatest need is for us to SHINE the LIGHT of the GOSPEL (John 8:12,12:46). Jesus calls us to SHINE our LIGHT (Matthew 5:14-15). This is a command to PREACH the GOSPEL. We SHINE the LIGHT by our WORDS. This is different from doing good WORKS. Our WITNESS is VERBAL, but our WORKS are also important, for they back up our witness, giving it credibility. In a trial, a witness necessarily gives verbal testimony. Matthew 5:16: "Let (1) your LIGHT (witness to Christ) so SHINE before men, so that (2) they may see your GOOD WORKS, and glorify your Father in Heaven.” We are to glorify God both through our (1) LIPS and (2) LIFE (works). So, God commands us to witness with our lips (shine His light), and live in a way that our lifestyle fits our words, so people will believe us. Good works SUPPLEMENT, but do NOT SUBSTITUTE for our verbal witness. ‘Let your light SHINE' means OPEN your MOUTH! This describes what happens in the spiritual realm when we witness, for the power of the Spirit radiates out of us as we speak His Word. We WITNESS by our WORDS (Phil 2:15-16), backed up by our WORKS. Isaiah 59:20 - 60:3: “My SPIRIT UPON you, and My WORDS, which I have put in your MOUTH, shall not depart from your MOUTH... Arise, SHINE; for your LIGHT has come and the GLORY of the LORD is risen UPON you. For darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the LORD will arise over you and His GLORY will be seen upon you. Gentiles shall come to your LIGHT...” This says we SHINE in the darkness by SPEAKING God's WORDS in the POWER of the SPIRIT. 2Corinthians 4:4-7: “…the LIGHT of the GOSPEL of the GLORY of CHRIST, the image of God, should SHINE on them. For we do not PREACH ourselves, but CHRIST Jesus the Lord. For the same God who COMMANDED LIGHT to shine out of darkness (He released LIGHT by speaking His WORD), who has SHONE in our HEARTS (through the spoken WORD of the GOSPEL) to give the LIGHT of the knowledge of the Glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. We have this TREASURE (the power of the Spirit to shine the Light of Christ through the Gospel) in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the POWER may be of God and not us.” We have the power of the Spirit upon us, and when we SPEAK the WORDS of the GOSPEL, we ACTIVATE this POWER (Acts 1:8), so goes forth with our WORDS to penetrate and illuminate their hearts (Romans 1:16). When we share the GOSPEL, His LIGHT SHINES out of us by the power of His SPIRIT, for as we SPEAK, His POWER is released with our WORDS.

2 Corinthians 4:1-6 Jesus is the Light that transforms hearts to reflect His glory. 1. Have you lost sight of your God-given purpose? 2. If you have never trusted Christ, today is the day of salvation. Will you put your trust in Him? 3. Are you reflecting the light of Jesus to a lost world?

Good morning! This morning Pastor Tom will be continuing through the Gospel of John in chapter 8. We'll be looking at Jesus as our Light so we can walk in the light.
Just wanted to give a few words of encouragement today because life gets busy and the pressure is real. During those times, we must realize that we need fuel for our life so that we can have the light we need to navigate our journey. There's a quote that says " An empty lantern provides no light. Self-Care is the fuel that allows our light to shine brightly. " Take the time to refuel so that your light can shine brightly in your most busiest time.
What comes to mind when you think about loving others the way Christ calls us to? When you think about this do you think about caring for the less fortunate and lonely? Matthew 5:14-16 calls us to be a light to all people. That includes ministering and loving the poor, homeless and most in need. This is what Jesus did and what He encourages us to do as well. What can we learn from this devotional? What did you hear God say to you today? Share your stories, prayer requests, or your response in the comments below.
