Paul was so concerned about the Thessalonian believers that he sent Timothy to “strengthen and encourage (them) in (their) faith.” When he received word that they were indeed “standing firm in the Lord” he was greatly encouraged himself.

In a world full of discouragement and spiritual fatigue, this is your reminder: you can stand firm because Christ has already won. 1 Corinthians 15 tells us that death has lost its sting and victory belongs to Jesus. That victory isn't just theological—it's fuel for your faithfulness. Your labor is not in vain. Your obedience, your sacrifice, your endurance—it all matters, because the outcome is already decided.
Rose takes on the host seat as the crew elaborates on the dress code for spiritual warfare.

Stand Firm in Freedom (Galatians 5:1) • Moms (and all of us) need to hear this: you are not loved because of your performance. You're loved because Christ has already secured your worth. 2. Love Over Law (Galatians 5:2–6) • Encourage moms today: Your quiet acts of service are seen by God. 3. Beware of the Leaven (Galatians 5:7–9) • Paul says: Don't let that stuff grow. It spoils freedom. 4. Serve One Another in Love (Galatians 5:13–14) • This is Jesus-shaped love—the love that lays down its rights for the good of others. 5. Avoiding the Bite (Galatians 5:15) "But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another." (Galatians 5:15) • Love guards the mouth. Selfishness weaponizes it. • You can't avoid the bite by trying harder-you must walk by the Spirit. Next Step Questions: 1.) Do you need to experience freedom in Christ today? 2.) What do you need to do today to avoid the bite?

Welcome to NAPC! Join us as we study God's Word together! Todays sermon was preached by Dr. Gregg Long on 05/11/25 and is from Colossians 2:1-10
In a world filled with distractions, we need to be careful to not be led astray from the gospel and from God's Word by the things of this world, through bad teaching, or because of difficult circumstances. We need to be careful to live in such a way so as not to place a stumbling block before the gospel. This is what we talk about from 2 Corinthians 6:1-10.

For this week's episode of Fearless, I sat down with Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council (FRC), to unpack what it means to live with moral courage in today's culture of confusion and compromise. Tony draws from his decades of experience in public service, ministry, and policy advocacy to talk about how to stand for truth—even when it costs you.Together we explore the alarming lack of moral courage among today's leaders and the pressing need for Christians to fear God more than man. Tony highlights FRC's ongoing efforts to equip pastors and believers through resources like the Stand Firm app and the Center for Biblical Worldview. He also addresses misconceptions about the separation of church and state, outlines the importance of the Free Speech Fairness Act, and assesses the Trump administration's policies supporting religious freedom and life.As we take a deeper look at the spiritual battles often found behind political struggles, we emphasize that true hope lies in a national spiritual awakening, not political reform alone. If you've ever wondered how to speak truth in love, stand firm in a hostile world, or what it really means to be fearless—I hope this conversation will compel you to be the salt and light our world needs in your sphere of influence. Learn more about the Family Research Council on their website: https://www.frc.org/#gsc.tab=0.
Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm (Ephesians 6:13). Amen!

Raising girls to stand firm in Biblical truth has never been more urgent. In today's culture, truth is often seen as relative, faith is regularly deconstructed, and identity is shaped more by screens than by Scripture. On this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, guest host Erin Marco, American Heritage Girls Director of Marketing & Communications, sits down with Abigail DeJarnatt, Founder and CEO of Counteract USA, to discuss how Gen Z girls can live with bold conviction and unshakable grace in a world that challenges their faith at every turn. After witnessing her generation wrestle with doubt, isolation, and cultural confusion, Abigail followed God's call to launch Counteract USA—a movement dedicated to equipping young Christians to stand on the unchanging truth of God's Word. This inspiring conversation explores the cultural lies young women are believing, the crisis of worldview among Gen Z, and how parents can provide their daughters with the tools, community, and confidence to respond with both courage and compassion. From the battleground of social media to the lunchroom conversations at school, Abigail shares practical advice for helping girls articulate their faith and live it out daily. She and Erin talk about the importance of pairing truth with grace, building a faith-filled support system, and encouraging girls to take part in worldview discussions that matter. Whether your daughter is questioning her beliefs, struggling to find her voice, or simply trying to walk faithfully in a confusing culture, this episode is filled with encouragement and equipping for the journey ahead. Listeners will also get a behind-the-scenes look at how Counteract USA uses small groups and strategic online content to disciple young believers and foster real, Christ-centered conversations. Abigail's story is a powerful reminder that no generation is too lost to be led, and no girl is too young to be used by God. If you're passionate about raising a girl who shines brightly in a dark world, don't miss this hope-filled and empowering episode. Subscribe today so you never miss a moment of encouragement, equipping, and Gospel-centered truth.

This powerful Bible talk explores what it means to stand firm in God's promises, no matter what storms come our way. Discover key Scriptures, practical wisdom, and inspiring truths to help you live an **unshakable life** in Christ!
Paul shows the Galatians how their strict adherence to the law for their righteousness is returning them to a life of slavery, apart from Christ. He calls them back, urging them to stand firm in the same freedom they were initially saved into because of Jesus. Comparing this with the parable of the two sons in Luke 15, we consider the ways in which we also return to a yoke of slavery and how we should respond when we do.

Episode Synopsis:Episode 29 of Season Three of the Blessed Hope Podcast brings our deep dive into 1 Corinthians to its conclusion. As we come to the end of our study of this remarkable letter and take a moment to look back at the ground we have covered, it quickly becomes apparent how truly important this letter is for those of us living in the 21st century in the midst of an increasingly pagan and hostile culture. There is, perhaps, no letter in the New Testament which speaks as directly to the pressing issues we face as Christians as does 1 Corinthians. Paul's final words to the Corinthians are both poignant and straightforward. The Corinthians are people Paul knows well, yet who are struggling with the challenges of a new church in the midst of a city like Corinth–a thriving multi-national seaport, thereby ensuring that the temptations of the flesh are ever present. So too, Corinth was a thriving center of pagan religions and practices ensuring an inevitable collision between Christianity and pagan religion and philosophy. Corinth was a difficult place for a church to flourish, but of great strategic significance to Paul's Gentile mission.Paul concludes this letter by making it clear that he has not abandoned them, that he is sending help, he explains the situation regarding Timothy and Apollos, and he describes his plans to return when the Lord wills. The apostle details the offering he hopes to send from Corinth back to the Jerusalem church in order to provide relief during a severe famine. He extends a series of commands regarding the things which the Corinthians are to do in the meantime, before concluding with the apostolic benediction–Maranatha, Lord come! This is indeed a truly remarkable letter and should be studied carefully in churches today.For show notes and other recommended materials located at the Riddleblog as mentioned during the Blessed Hope Podcast, click here: https://www.kimriddlebarger.com/
In this raw and real conversation, Joby Martin—pastor of Church of Eleven22—joins Goose and Gladiator to talk about everything from biblical masculinity to modern ministry struggles. Is your church asleep? Are men still leading? What's the real deal with “mega church” criticism? We talk tattoos, alcohol, discipleship, and the real battle men are facing today. Joby drops wisdom, wit, and some spiritual uppercuts. Whether you're in ministry or just trying to be a better man, this conversation will wake you up.
Don't hesitate to speak boldly about your choice to honor and follow your husband's will. Whether it's around friends, family, or coworkers—stand firm. You are not weak. You are not a disgrace. You are a woman who knows what she believes, and you live it out with conviction. Embrace the role of a submissive wife with pride and confidence. The world may not understand, but that doesn't mean you should shrink back. Let your marriage be a testimony to the beauty of traditional gender roles, godly order, and biblical values. Be the woman who inspires others not by rebellion, but by reverence.

This message is from our "Suffer Well" series.Suffering is a natural consequence of surrender.

The book of Ezra-Nehemiah reveals a simple truth to us: Whenever we set out to do a work God has called us to, we should not be surprised at opposition or challenge associated with it. The opposition can be trials and tribulations, it can be spiritual opposition, and it is even often ourselves—our own tendency to get in way and mess things up. This is exactly what happens in the midst of the revival or renewal that God was working for the community in Ezra-Nehemiah, and it will happen to us as we seek to take Jesus seriously and build our lives only on the rock of his teaching and gospel. In this message, Pastor Joel shares the opportunities different kinds of opposition can present to us.

In the sixteenth chapter of Corinthians, you'll find these two verses, tucked in there, seemingly as a random stream of consciousness, part of Paul's closing in his first letter to this church in Corinth: "Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love." (1 Corinthians 16:13-14) Standing firm means maintaining allegiance to biblical principles regardless of ridicule, and contending for Scripture not by being dogmatic but by graciously appealing to the doubter's conscience. As some have said, "God's truth can take their hits." Read the transcript for Stand Firm in the Faith Sign up for the Wisdom In All Things weekly email

Some command respect. Others create chaos. Welcome to The Daily, where we go through the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day. Today, we're looking at Ecclesiastes 10:2-4: A wise man's heart inclines him to the right, but a fool's heart to the left. Even when the fool walks on the road, he lacks sense, and he says to everyone that he is a fool. If the anger of the ruler rises against you, do not leave your place, for calmness will lay great offenses to rest. — Ecclesiastes 10:2-4 Every person's heart leans in a direction. Wisdom pulls toward righteousness, while folly drifts toward destruction. The way we walk, the choices we make, and even how we respond to authority reveal what governs our hearts. A fool stumbles through life, making their lack of sense obvious to everyone. They react instead of thinking, speak without listening, and let emotions lead. But a wise person walks with purpose and self-control, steady even in moments of crisis. When tension rises—whether at work, in relationships, or with those in authority—how do you respond? A fool reacts emotionally, making the situation worse. A wise person stays steady, responding with calmness and patience. Scripture reminds us: “If the anger of the ruler rises against you, do not leave your place, for calmness will lay great offenses to rest.” Wisdom isn't just about knowing what's right—it's about standing firm when things get heated. Instead of reacting in frustration, take a deep breath, hold your ground, and respond with grace. A calm response can turn conflict into resolution, while a reckless reaction only deepens the divide. Let me pray for you today: Lord, incline my heart toward wisdom. When I face tension or confrontation, help me stay steady, speak with grace, and reflect Your righteousness in my response. Amen. #WisdomVsFolly, #BiblicalManhood, #StayCalmUnderPressure ASK THIS: In what areas of life do you tend to react instead of respond? How can you practice calmness when facing authority or conflict? What does your daily walk reveal about the direction of your heart? How does wisdom influence the way you handle pressure and adversity? DO THIS: The next time tension rises in a conversation, pause, take a deep breath, and respond with calmness instead of reacting emotionally. PRAY THIS: Lord, incline my heart toward wisdom and self-control. When tensions rise, help me respond with grace and steadfastness, reflecting Your righteousness in my actions. Amen. PLAY THIS: Stand.
