In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins addresses the timely and sobering question: Should Christians pursue persecution? The Bible is clear—persecution is promised for all who desire to live a godly life in Christ (2 Timothy 3:12), but it is never something believers are called to seek out. Instead, Christians are called to faithfulness, courage, and steadfast love in the face of opposition. Through Scripture, church history examples like Polycarp and William Tyndale, and pastoral reflection, Dave explains: Why persecution is promised but not pursued. The difference between faithfulness and provocation. How to prepare your heart to stand firm when trials come. Persecution is not a strategy, but when it comes, it is a privilege to suffer for Christ's name. May we stand firm in faith and stay anchored in His Word.

Today begins a journey into understanding the real enemies that followers of Jesus face and how to stand firm in the victory Christ has already won. Many of us are quick to identify enemies in our lives—people, circumstances, or even cultural forces—but Scripture reveals that our true adversaries are often unseen and spiritual in nature. Drawing from Paul's letter to the Ephesians, we see that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of evil. Paul identifies three primary enemies: the world, the devil, and our own sinful nature. Each of these will be explored in depth in the coming weeks, but today the focus is on the devil—our spiritual adversary.The devil is not a myth or a mere symbol of evil; he is a real, created being, a rebellious angel who opposes God and seeks to destroy the good work of God in our lives. He is not God's equal, nor is the outcome of this cosmic battle in question—Jesus has already won the victory through the cross. Yet, the devil is active, prowling like a roaring lion, seeking to devour, to sow chaos where there is order, division where there is unity, and despair where there is joy. His primary strategy is deception—he is the father of lies, and his greatest weapon is to get us to believe things that are not true about God, ourselves, and our circumstances.The devil's mission is to destroy, to steal, and to kill. He cannot dethrone God, so he targets God's children, seeking to undermine our faith, our relationships, and our sense of purpose. His accusations and slander are meant to paralyze us with fear, shame, and doubt. Yet, we are not defenseless. Scripture calls us to be alert, to resist the devil, and to stand firm in the truth. Jesus himself modeled this resistance in the wilderness, countering every temptation with the Word of God. The truth is our weapon, and abiding in God's Word is the path to freedom.We are called to live from a place of victory, not defeat. The enemy has been disarmed and shamed by Christ's triumph on the cross. Communion is a reminder that we sit at the table with Jesus, even in the presence of our enemies, declaring that the enemy is defeated and that we belong to the victorious King. Let us stop giving ground to the enemy, reject his lies, and draw near to God, who promises to draw near to us.Youtube Chapters[00:00] - Welcome[01:10] - Knowing Your Enemy: Fun Examples[03:19] - The Reality of Spiritual Attack[05:45] - Paul's Letter to the Ephesians: Context[08:09] - Our Struggle Is Not Against Flesh and Blood[11:12] - The Three Enemies: World, Devil, Flesh[14:05] - What Does It Mean to Stand Firm?[16:24] - The Reality of Spiritual War[19:12] - The Devil: A Real Adversary[22:18] - The Origin and Nature of Satan[24:08] - Pride and the Fall of Lucifer[27:44] - Living in Enemy Territory[30:07] - The Devil's Mission and Goals[31:56] - Jesus Exposes the Devil's Character[33:08] - The Devil as Liar and Murderer[34:32] - The Enemy's Strategy: Devour and Divide[36:21] - How the Enemy Attacks: Lies and Accusations[39:33] - Slander and False Accusations[41:26] - The Subtlety of the Enemy's Lies[43:22] - Lies We Believe and Their Consequences[50:24] - How to Resist the Devil[51:32] - Drawing Near to God[54:00] - Jesus in the Wilderness: Our Example[58:30] - The Enemy's Defeat at the Cross[60:10] - Communion: Declaring Christ's Victory[62:00] - Stop Inviting the Enemy to Your Table[63:00] - Closing Prayer and Benediction

September has been declared St Michael's month! As Kate reminds us in this sermon, remaining faithful often means resisting cultural norms and enduring challenges. Drawing on inspiring examples both biblical (Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego) and local (Kate Sheppard and Michael Jones), we are assured that discernment in community and trust in God's presence is the equipping we need. Gospel reading:Matthew 5:13-16Key text:Daniel 3

In this message, we delve into the spiritual armor God provides us to face life's challenges. The central message revolves around the 'belt of truth' - a foundational piece of our spiritual defense. We're reminded that our struggle isn't against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of evil. This battle isn't fought alone; it's a communal effort where we stand united in Christ. The imagery of the armor of God isn't just about individual protection, but about our collective strength as believers. We're encouraged to root ourselves deeply in God's truth, using it as a defense against the lies and schemes of the enemy. This truth isn't just intellectual knowledge, but a person - Jesus Christ himself. As we 'gird our loins' with this truth, we prepare ourselves to stand firm in our faith, ready to face whatever comes our way. This message challenges us to examine where we place our trust and how we can more fully embrace the truth of the Gospel in our daily lives.

This passionate sermon by Pastor Robert Tisdale at Tampa Life Church emphasizes the importance of purity, obedience, and eliminating compromises in one's spiritual life. Drawing from biblical narratives like the Passover in Egypt and the teachings of Jesus and Paul, Pastor Tisdale underscores the need for 'sweeping the house'—removing sin and influences that hinder spiritual freedom and growth. He highlights examples from both the Old and New Testaments, including the metaphor of yeast representing sin and impurity, and the impact of one person's actions on their community. The sermon encourages believers to stand firm in their faith, fight for their families, and resist the trends of normalization of compromising behaviors, ultimately inspiring them to create a legacy of obedience and blessing.00:00 Getting Ready for Urgent Matters00:18 The Night in Egypt: A Prelude to Freedom01:03 The Command to Sweep the House01:59 The Symbolism of Yeast and Purity02:29 God's Fast Deliverance02:59 The Call to Sweep the House05:08 The Annual Tradition of Unleavened Bread06:11 Paul's Warning to the Galatians07:25 Jesus' Teachings on Leaven08:21 The Leaven of the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Herod11:06 The Story of Aiken's Sin14:35 The Rechabites' Obedience18:07 The Importance of Consistency and Obedience22:52 The Power of Small Things24:49 Shamma's Stand Against the Philistines29:30 The Call to Stand Firm and Fight32:04 Fighting for What Matters32:34 The Power of Standing Firm36:06 Learned Helplessness and Overcoming It43:09 The Importance of Small Things46:02 A Call to Action and Prayer50:23 Fighting for Family and Faith55:30 Breakthrough and Joy

Exodus 14 8/17/25

When the storms of life rage and the pressures of this world grow stronger, it can be tempting to waver in our faith. But Paul's words in 2 Thessalonians 2:13-17 call us to something different. He invites us to stand firm, not in our own strength, but in what God has already done for us. This passage reminds us that salvation is the work of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. In the past, God the Father chose us in love. In the present, the Spirit works in our hearts, setting us apart for holiness and building our faith through the truth of the Gospel. In the future, our Lord Jesus Christ will bring us into His eternal glory. This is not just theology to admire. It is truth that transforms. If the Trinity has worked so powerfully for our salvation across all of time, then our response must be to live in a way that pleases God. We are to hold tightly to the teachings of His Word, draw strength from His encouragement, and walk in good works that honour Him. The God who saves us is the God who keeps us, and He calls us to live each day in grateful obedience.Series: Encouragement for Pilgrims on the WayScripture: 2 Thessalonians 2:13-17Speaker: Pastor David Hallett

This isn't just another episode… it's a milestone. Today we celebrate 100 episodes of conversations where faith, family, and identity intersect — and where God's truth and love meet in powerful ways. When The Bridge Between Us began, the goal was simple: ✅ Help one parent feel less alone. ✅ Give one family hope. ✅ Keep one heart connected to Jesus. God has done that — and so much more. In this special episode, Melinda looks back at key lessons learned from the past 100 conversations, honors the guests and listeners who have made this community what it is, and shares four powerful reminders for standing firm in God's truth while loving without fear. 4 Key Takeaways from 100 Episodes Never underestimate the power of listening. Testimonies build faith, compassion, and wisdom for how to pray for and love others well. Trust God's timing and ways. His methods are often unexpected but always purposeful. Grace and truth are not enemies. Both are essential for real transformation. We're not so different from those we're praying for. Healing starts with letting God minister to our own hearts. Daniel 11:32b — “But the people who know their God shall stand firm and take action.” Reflection Challenge This week, take one intentional step to celebrate what God has done in your life on this journey. Grab a journal or note card and answer: How has God strengthened you along the way? How has He revealed Himself to you? What Scripture has He given you to stand on? Write it out and commit it to memory. Episode Resources

In this episode, Pastor Jeff Reynolds is joined by David Tooley, Alex Watkins, Keith Christopher, Lauren Parish, and TJ Renfro for a powerful conversation on the reality of spiritual warfare and how it affects our lives and ministries. They discuss the daily battles believers face, the challenges pastors endure, and the strength we have in Christ to persevere. With honest reflections and practical wisdom, this episode offers hope and encouragement for anyone feeling the weight of the fight—reminding us that we're not alone, and the victory is already won.   --   This episode of The Beyond Sunday Podcast unpacks the sermon “The Sower: Mark 4:1–9, 13–20.” In this well-known parable, Jesus describes a farmer scattering seed—revealing how different hearts respond to the Word of God. We take a deeper look at what it means to be “good soil,” how spiritual growth is often challenged by distraction, hardship, and temptation, and why this teaching is still vital today. This conversation invites us to examine the condition of our own hearts and encourages us to cultivate a faith that's rooted, receptive, and fruitful.   Submit a question - bit.ly/BeyondSundayQuestions

1 Peter - Clarity in the Fire | Standing Firm Together | Pastor Ian Gilchrist

In this final message from 1 Peter, Grace for the Battle, we see Peter's call to shepherd God's flock, live in humility, resist the devil, and rest in the grace of God. Our struggles are real, but so is our hope—rooted in the God of all grace who will Himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish His people.

The Bible warns there's an evil day that comes to all of us, so we have to be wise and stay ahead of the battle by having developed a steadfast immoveable relationship with the Lord. While we don't know the future, we are given the big headlines in the Book of Revelation, says Jerusalem Channel presenter Christine Darg.

What's the key to standing firm in the midst of difficulty? In today's episode, we wrap up this sermon series from the archives, Elect Exiles, from 1 Peter.

In a culture that preaches tolerance (unless you're a Christian), how do we hold fast to our convictions without shrinking back? In today's episode, Lindsey Maestas unpacks the truth that the Gospel is offensive...and that's exactly why it saves. We're in a world facing a mental health crisis, a loneliness epidemic, and a deep spiritual emptiness. People are desperately searching for meaning, and yet, the one truth that could set them free is often silenced in the name of comfort or people-pleasing. Lindsey explores what it means to live boldly and compassionately, asking: What if we had said something? What if we had shown up before they spiraled? What if one hard conversation could have kept someone from self-harm or hopelessness? We can't live in the “what ifs.” The Gospel is meant to be shared; we were never called to water it down for our comfort. If we say we believe it, our actions have to reflect the truth we claim. But if we're speaking truth, our lives must follow the calling found in Scripture. You'll hear: Why the Gospel will always offend culture...and why that's good news. How our silence can cost someone their soul. What it means to live boldly in a post-Christian world. A reminder that truth without love is harsh, but love without truth is hollow.
