In this sermon, Pastor Andrew Coleman continues our 1 Peter series. In 1 Peter 2, believers are reminded that though the world may reject Christ, He is the Cornerstone—chosen and precious in God's sight. Those who belong to Him are not ordinary; rather, Christians are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His own possession. Peter calls believers to remember who they once were: lost in darkness, stumbling in unbelief. BUT now, through Christ, Christians are God's redeemed people, brought into His marvelous light. This identity isn't earned by works but is given by God's sovereign choice, His mercy, and the blood of Christ that purchases sinners. As living stones built on Christ the Cornerstone, Christians are called to live holy lives, proclaim His excellencies, and show the world what it means to belong to God. This truth gives believers confidence, security, and purpose, even in a world hostile to the Christian faith. ________________________________________ Links to Sermon Notes & Answers: ➤Sermon Notes (Blank): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_93313fdc7c134c119d55fe3850e1d6ec.pdf ➤Sermon Notes (Answers): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_3c619281182149b0a4587854e3a7e69b.pdf ________________________________________ Subscribe to this channel to catch weekly expositional sermons from the Bible. ________________________________________ Explore more sermons and information: https://www.sheridanhills.org/watch-new ________________________________________ Follow us: ➤Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sheridanhills/ ➤Twitter: https://twitter.com/sheridanhills01 ➤Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sheridanhills/

Original Air Date: July 21, 2021 Eckhart Tolle touches on the purpose of human existence which he sees as evolutionary, awakening, to become fully human. He then answers related questions from a live audience on a wide range of topics: How much of our lives are within our control? Can we really plan for the future? How do we deal with the pain-body and also stay conscious? Eckhart says if we align with the “is-ness” of the present moment and pay attention to our state of consciousness, the future will look after itself. It's only by embracing the here and now that we have the opportunity to lead lives with clarity and purpose. We also must learn to accept each moment as if we had chosen it. Because we did.

If you continue on your current path where will you be in 5 years..? How about 10 years..? Is your current path going to put you where you really want to be or are you headed - the wrong way..?

WWJ auto analyst John McElroy says SPACS have been bad for the auto industry, in part because the EV market is growing slower than expected.  

Special purpose entities (SPEs) are frequently employed in commercial real estate transactions to mitigate bankruptcy risks associated with borrowers or their properties. To qualify as bankruptcy remote, these entities must meet specific requirements, such as appointing "independent directors" and "springing members." With the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) now in effect, mandating the disclosure of beneficial owners, SPEs must ensure compliance to avoid severe penalties for non-reporting or false reporting. In this episode, Cameron Weil and Dustin Lauermann join Jay Wardlaw to explore the intersection of the CTA and SPEs and discuss how those affected can ensure compliance.

This week was relatively slow in market news…..until the Trump verdict came out.  Donald Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts brought against him in the hush money trial, which throws more uncertainty into upcoming election cycle.  The financial world changed on Tuesday as well, as the stock settlement cycle was shortened from T+2 to T+1.  We cover what all this means for you, how the markets reacted to the Trump verdict, and whether the investment vehicle Trump used to take Truth Social public is something you should consider for your portfolio.

  Psalm 103 tells us to not forget the benefits of the Lord. One of the greatest benefits of knowing Jesus is godly wisdom. When you receive Jesus, you receive wisdom. However, you must learn to draw upon that wisdom in order for it to help you. Wisdom will help you in so many areas, including your finances, your health, your family, your business or profession, and more. Enjoy this message on video or audio and be encouraged that wisdom belongs to you, in Jesus' name. Notes: WISDOM—A GOSPEL BENEFIT But because of Him you are in Christ Jesus, whom God made unto us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. (1Corinthians 1:30, MEV). MT: When you receive Jesus, you receive the wisdom of God, which comes by the Holy Spirit. One of the ways He redeems your life from destruction is through wisdom.  Benefits of Wisdom: Avoid mistakes and their consequences, understanding of truth and how to apply it (finances, relationships, physical, mental, and emotional health), how-to anything, guidance). Paul prayed for the church to have a “spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him.” God gives us wisdom to apply knowlege for success in the Christian life.  I. He Saves by the Foolishness of Preaching 1 Corinthians 1:18 II. Not by the Wisdom of Man 1 Corinthians 2:1-5 Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall not enter it.” (Mark 10:15, MEV). For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy. For I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. But I fear that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve through his trickery, so your minds might be led astray from the simplicity that is in Christ. (2Corinthians 11:2-3, MEV). Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this world, let him become a fool that he may be wise. (1Corinthians 3:18, MEV). III. The Wisdom of God Comes by the Holy Spirit 1 Corinthians 2:6-16 Mystery—something hidden to the unitiated. 2 Cor. 4:  If our gospel be hid … John 3:3 Except you be born again, you cannot see. The Holy Spirit is Your Teacher But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things. (1John 2:20, MEV).

In der Mittagsfolge sprechen wir heute mit Maximilian Zoller, Principal von HV Capital, über die Herausforderungen und Chancen der Gründung von Special Purpose Vehicles.HV Capital unterstützt Internet- und Technologieunternehmen über verschiedene Fondsgenerationen und ist einer der finanzstärksten Frühphasen- und Wachstums-Risikokapitalgeber in Europa. Die Fonds des VCs haben bereits in rund 200 Unternehmen investiert, wozu auch Zalando, Delivery Hero, FlixBus und SumUp gehören. Das Gesamtkapital der Fonds beläuft sich auf 1,7 Milliarden Euro. Der Kapitalgeber unterstützt Startups mit einem Kapital zwischen 500.000 Euro und 50 Millionen Euro. Der Fonds wurde im Jahr 2000 als Investment-Arm der Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holtzbrinck unter dem Namen HV Holtzbrinck Ventures ins Leben gerufen.Maximilian Zoller ist Principal bei HV Capital und hat bei Thermondo eine Zweckgesellschaft gegründet sowie geleitet. Außerdem hat er den Erfolg von Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) in Startups miterlebt und kann einen Überblick über die Herausforderungen und Chancen von SPV-Strukturen darstellen. Ein SPV ist eine Tochtergesellschaft, die dazu dienen kann, finanzielle Risiken zu isolieren, Vermögenswerte zu verbriefen und separate Finanztransaktionen durchzuführen. Die Praxis erfährt regelmäßig öffentliche Kritik, da die konsolidierungsfreie Ausgliederung von bedeutenden Vermögenswerten und Liquiditätsrisiken in Zweckgesellschaften missbräuchlich dazu genutzt werden können, um Jahresabschlüsse durch Bilanzverkürzung von Risiken zu befreien, die eine Unternehmenskrise auslösen oder verstärken würden. Chancen bestehen allerdings auch darin, beispielsweise den Klimawandel zu bekämpfen, indem durch eine SVP-Struktur erneuerbare Anlagen einfacher finanziert werden können.

Remote Work Another sign that workers will be coming back to the office was a report that showed tech companies over-hired and that working from home did not prove to be that effective. Year to date, tech companies have laid off approximately 168,000 people and the layoffs are occurring for a couple reasons. First, they discovered that people were working only 4 to 5 hours a day logging in at 11 o'clock in the morning and wrapping up and logging off by 4:30 that same day. It was also discovered that some tech companies did become overzealous and looked at hiring more people as an ego boost and an indication that they felt business was going to grow rapidly in the future and they would need a lot of employees. Part of the hiring was done to keep talented employees from going to the competition, a hoarding of employee talent so to speak. No matter how you slice it, this is not a problem with the economy, but more with tech companies and people working from home. Special Purpose Acquisition Companies Another year has passed, and more data is in on what a bad investment Special Purpose Acquisition Companies, also known as SPACs, were. I hate to tell people I told you so but back when these blind investment pools were hot, we warned people. In 2022 the total write downs amounted to $11.6 billion a huge increase from $2.7 billion in 2021. The reason for the write downs is based on what is known as goodwill. This comes about when a business is acquired for more than the value of its assets. Accounting rules require the measurement of fair value to the assets annually. If that figure is less than the amount recorded in the books, the value of goodwill must be reduced. I have been in the investment world for 40 years, and I continue to see these hype investments that make Wall Street a lot of money. Unfortunately, in many cases the average investor loses money. This is why I continue to be a value investor and invest in a company when it's on sale and sell it when it's overpriced. Value Stocks I know people are fearful about investing now and when I tell them I expect to have a very good year come December 31st, I think they question my thoughts. Currently value stocks are very inexpensive compared to growth stocks. They are discounted more than they have been for four-fifths of the time in the history of the stock market. Another study also showed when inflation runs between 4% and 8% per year value stocks outperform growth stocks by 6 to 8%. People may be afraid of inflation, but it actually is a benefit to value stocks. I will keep investing!

For many small business owners, the first step on the credit ladder is the hardest, and they may miss opportunities to build business credit and grow their business while relying on personal credit instead. On the latest episode of the ABA Banking Journal Podcast — sponsored by R&T Deposit Solutions — Amegy Bank EVP Jevaughn Sterling talks about Zions Bancorporation's Small Business Diversity Banking Program, organized as an “special-purpose credit program” under Equal Credit Opportunity Act. Sterling discusses: What defines an SPCP and how it is designed to improve access to capital by helping small business owners build business credit instead of relying on personal credit. How Zions designed the Diversity Banking Program to be tailored to the needs of disadvantaged small business borrowers. How loan terms may look similar and different for Diversity Banking Program participants. The nuts and bolts of designing, getting regulatory approval for, launching and marketing the Diversity Banking Program. Results seen, lessons learned and tips for other banks considering a special-purpose credit program. His own career journey as a commercial lender.

The MK12 / Special Purpose Rifle was instrumental to the development of most modern accurized AR pattern rifles. What many now call the "SPR" or "RECCE Rifle" comes from a long lineage of research and development within the US Special Operations community. The MK12 has a rich history and helped to progress the AR15 into what is it today.  In this episode we are joined by "Brown Rocket Actual" to discuss the history and concepts behind the MK12 SPR, and how it is still a viable platform today. The MK12 concept is also very cohesive with the "modern minuteman" mission and mentality.

You may have noticed that most weeks in our ‘rapid fire' questions to featured authors, we ask if they have a favorite author. Little secret: Sometimes we are looking for ideas. A few weeks ago, John Irving told us he would read anything John Boyne has written just because Boyne wrote it. So we got busy reading John Boyne. It turns out he has a new book released just this past November, All the Broken Places, that is a continuation of sorts of a book released many years ago that was made into a terrific movie, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, that we both saw and admired. All the Broken Places centers around a now 91 year old woman who deals with the shame she feels knowing her father was commandant of Auschwitz, having tried to hide her past for decades. How that haunts her makes for an engrossing read. Thank you to John!

Katie Neilson is the co-founder and president of Assure, the leading provider of Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs), which are transforming how venture capital investment is structured and administered. As lifelong entrepreneurs, Katie and her co-founder and husband, Jeremy Neilson, quickly realized that the venture capital industry was slow to adopt technological developments despite being focused on funding the most forward-thinking innovations. The irony was not lost on Katie and Jeremy, and they knew by experience that if a business didn't find a way to adapt to market conditions, it would quickly be left behind. One of Katie's missions is the unlocking of funding for underrepresented founders, including women, people of color, veterans, and those in the LGBTQ+ community. They are seeing barriers crumble through innovation and technology spark growth in these areas for two reasons. First, it has become easier for founders to access investors through virtual events and meeting platforms such as Zoom. The pandemic lockdowns have eliminated the requirement to be physically based in traditional VC hubs, like Silicon Valley. Second, Assure's SPV product has made it possible for a broader range of investors to now participate in supporting these businesses. Today, founders can affordably find investors that have similar passions to their own and nothing is standing in the way of turning those passions into investment capital. assure.co https://structured.assure.co/the-assure-podcast https://www.linkedin.com/company/assureco/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/katieneilson/ https://twitter.com/assureco --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jay-feldman5/support

How a SPAC operates

We kicked off this episode with book picks. Eric is fascinated by the incredible Dolly Parton and her best-selling book with James Patterson, Run Rose Run. Nayla is loving The House of Special Purpose by John Boyne which is about the Romanov family (no, not Natasha's origin story)- highly recommended   Getting into today's topic, we discuss a listener/client question about “HOW to prioritize?” and the mini-epidemic we've noticed around our worries about not being able to manage our responsibilities and being too busy. The goal of prioritizing isn't to create a better list. We question the assumptions and biases that lead us to overcommit, how the “post-it-note” method/massive to-do list might be a casual disregard of our time, and the critical questions to ask yourself to add more awareness of what is and what should be on the “list”.   To learn more about the ideas and resources discussed in this episode, us and our work, and to join our mailing list, visit the show notes.   You can continue the conversation with us through our new, free, online Inside Job Podcast Community, which you can find here: https://insidejobthecommunity.mn.co/feed      Inside Job is brought to you by Nayla Bahri and Eric Johnson.
