In this message on Psalm 37, RUF Campus Minister at UCF Hardy Reynolds encourages listeners to take the long view of life and faith. Preaching to a world where evil often appears to prosper, Hardy unpacks David's wisdom for living with patience, trust, and hope. Rather than reacting with envy or fear, believers are called to “trust in the Lord and do good,” knowing that God will ultimately uphold the righteous and bring justice in His time.Through vibrant illustrations and pastoral clarity, Hardy explores the Psalm's repeated contrasts between the wicked and the righteous—not to stoke pride, but to deepen our confidence in God's promises. This sermon is a call to live faithfully and quietly before the Lord, delighting in Him, waiting patiently, and refusing the anxiety that comes from trying to control the world.

Pastor Patrick Harrison I John 2:13-14 "Stages of Spiritual Maturity – Part 2"

Growing in God is a process called Spiritual Maturity, and it leads us away from being young children in the faith to spiritual Fathers and Mothers to other believers. It requires effort, and it will be a fight to overcome the evil one. But with God's word abiding in you, you can grow in Him.This Week's Scripture:https://bit.ly/3GWYE7z=============================Connect With Heritage:=============================Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heritagech/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/heritagechurchgaOn The Web: https://www.heritagelife.orgGet The App: https://subsplash.com/heritagechurch/app

No Other Name | Week 2 | Ef Salcedo--In this week's lesson, Paul continues his emphasis on Jesus' deity and humanity, stressing his own willingness to suffer as Christ did so that the Colossians could experience the full impact of the good news regarding Jesus. For Paul, Jesus was the Son of God in human form, and this difficult to believe reality was the key to their ongoing transformation into His likeness.

Summary: * Leslie Brennan shares her personal journey of faith and resilience, focusing on her experiences with loss and uncertainty. * She discusses her family dynamics, including blending families and dealing with her husband's past drug addiction. * Leslie recounts the initial shock and self-blame she felt upon discovering her husband's addiction. * She describes the challenges of handling financial instability and maintaining family life during her husband's addiction and subsequent recovery. * Leslie emphasizes the importance of faith, prayer, and support from her family and community in overcoming life's challenges. * She details the process of moving from questioning God's plans to embracing His purpose for her struggles. * Leslie's story includes significant health challenges her family faced, including her husband's motorcycle accident leading to amputation and a subsequent stroke. * She explains how these experiences have strengthened her faith and relationship with God, highlighting moments of divine intervention and grace. * Leslie shares her journey through therapy and healing, discovering her self-worth and identity in Christ. * She is now focused on sharing her story to help others, writing a book, and engaging in public speaking to inspire and encourage those facing similar challenges. PODCAST INTRO: In the face of life's most challenging storms, it's often the faith journeys of resilience that inspire us to keep moving forward. Leslie Brennan's journey, as shared on this podcast episode, paints a vivid picture of how faith in the God of the Holy Bible, His grace, and our perseverance/our faith can transform even the darkest moments into a testament of hope and healing. A faith journey that transformed Leslie's heart, her perspective and her future as she transitioned from, “Why God!” to “How can You use this God?” Embracing the Unexpected Leslie's story begins with the revelation of her husband's drug addiction, a discovery that initially left her questioning her own role in the unfolding chaos. The initial blame, filtered through past trauma, led her to believe she was somehow responsible for the turmoil. However, it was through this painful revelation that Leslie began to see the bigger picture: a journey of faith that would lead her from self-blame to a deeper understanding of God's purpose and His extravagant love. A Journey of Faith and Healing Leslie emphasizes the importance of not abandoning faith, even when life's challenges seem insurmountable. Her husband's addiction, his process to overcome his addiction…and later, separate from any addiction issues, his motorcycle accident that resulted in the loss of his leg, these were pivotal moments that tested their marriage and her faith. Then two years after the motorcycle accident her husband suffers a debilitating stroke brought on by an undetected fragmented bone that prohibited blood flow. Yet, it was through these trials that Leslie witnessed what she describes as "God's extravagant grace." The Power of Vulnerability and Sharing One of the most powerful aspects of Leslie's story is her willingness to be vulnerable and share her journey with others and her story serves as a reminder that our past mistakes and current struggles do not define us; rather, they become a part of the larger narrative of redemption and grace as God brings us inner healing, clarity and purpose to our lives.  A Testament to God's Grace Despite the challenges and heartaches, Leslie has emerged with a stronger faith and a renewed sense of identity. Her journey from questioning "why" to embracing "how" God will use her experiences for good exemplifies a profound shift in perspective that many of us strive for. As she continues to navigate life's uncertainties, Leslie's faith remains her anchor. Her story encourages us all to seek God's presence in our own trials and trust that He is writing an overarching love story with us, one of redemption, healing, purpose and hope. In sharing her journey, Leslie invites us to reflect on our own lives and consider how we can find grace and strength in the midst of our personal storms.  Listen in and discover Leslies' message that God uses every painful moment because no matter how dark the night, in God's hands there's always a breakthrough—a new beginning filled with the promise of God's unwavering love and grace.  Live Loved and Thrive!

The relationship between faith, love, and hope forms a powerful framework for Christian living, as revealed in Colossians. True godly love can only emerge from genuine faith, distinguishing itself from shallow, conditional human love. This faith-based love transforms relationships and situations with divine purpose and depth. Christian hope stands uniquely secured in heaven, providing stability regardless of worldly circumstances such as economic uncertainty or political turmoil.Spiritual growth requires dedicated knowledge of God's Word and will, achieved through regular Bible study, sound theological understanding, and the ability to discern truth from false teaching. While Christianity doesn't promise a pain-free existence, it equips believers with strength to endure difficulties, hope during trials, and power through the Holy Spirit. This combination of faith, knowledge, and hope enables Christians to maintain an eternal perspective during temporary struggles, serving as a powerful testimony to others.Support the show

As parents we expect our kids to grow and mature as time goes by. Maybe your parents would chart that growth on a wall in the house with little marks and dates beside them! Today on a Daily Walk we discover that God wants us to grow up spiritually. Part of that process involves putting off and putting on certain things.

If you're a parent I'm sure you marvel at times at just how quickly the kids grow up. We expect our children to grow up physically and mature don't we! As we'll see today on a Daily Walk, God wants all of us to grow up spiritually too. This side of heaven we never completely mature, and so it's an ongoing process. Our goal is to be like Christ, and as we turn to Ephesians four today, pastor John Randall encourages us to move in that direction here in part one of “Spiritual Maturity.” To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29

As believers, we are given a firm foundation in Christ.  We are forgiven, justified, sanctified, redeemed, accepted, and valued.  Shame prevents us from living in the daily reality of these spiritual blessings in Christ.  We don't feel worthy.  We can believe the blessings are for others but not for us.  Shame distorts our interpretation of reality.  Without trusting what is true or standing on the firm foundation given to us, we cannot mature as believers.  We remain stuck in the lies of shame and assume we are ineligible.   Bruce McNicol, founder and former president of Trueface ministry joins me again this week on the podcast.  He speaks to the importance of a healthy and grace-based faith community for our spiritual growth.  Bruce says that the Holy Spirit is a great teacher and networker who will bring relational opportunities for us to be encouraged in our maturing process.  Bruce's words are full of hope and practical wisdom for our everyday lives.
