Unshakeable: Standing Firm in a Shaky World - Suffering for Righteousness - 1 Peter 3:13-22

In a world growing darker by the day—where churches are being burned, believers mocked, and truth twisted—God still calls us to be the light. In this episode, we dive into 1 John chapters 1–4 to rediscover what it means to walk in the light, even when surrounded by persecution, fear, and confusion. This isn't the time to hide your faith—it's the time to shine brighter for Christ.

In this week's message, part eight of the Standing Firm series, Calvary Church turns to 1 Thessalonians 5:11–28, where Paul calls believers to pursue a faith that remains unshakeable amid life's challenges. Dr. Willy Rice reminds us that stability in a shaking world comes when we seek truth, live at peace, and pursue God with wholehearted devotion. Discover how spiritual maturity is built through obedience, unity, and trust in the faithfulness of Christ—the One who calls us, sanctifies us, and will surely do it.Support the showFind us at!

Recognizing deception, submitting to truth, and walking together in faith.The discussion centered around false teaching, legalism, and the nature of the flesh, with emphasis on the need for discernment and submission to God's truth. The conversation explored how legalism originates from false teaching and how the enemy uses deception to attack the character of God revealed through Christ.The group reflected on how each of the Gospels presents a different facet of Christ—His humanity, servitude, genealogy, and divinity—and how understanding these aspects strengthens faith and guards against error. They discussed that while the enemy cannot stop God's redemptive plan, false teaching can distort how believers experience grace.We emphasized the importance of humility, submission, and maintaining unity within the body, explaining that proper teaching protects believers from the influence of the flesh. The group also discussed the balance between resting in God's will and remaining actively submitted to His leading through the Holy Spirit.The meeting concluded with reflections on community, the importance of prayer for one another, and future direction—including prayer for God's guidance about a permanent meeting place and potential radio outreach to extend their ministry.Themes: Discerning false teaching and legalism Submitting the will to God for true rest Unity and humility within the assembly Dependence on the Holy Spirit for understanding The divine purpose of community and prayerScripture References: 2 Corinthians 4:4Reflection Question: Where might I still be striving in my own strength instead of resting in the finished work of Christ?

Exploring God's sufficiency.The discussion centered on the importance of hope and discernment in light of false teaching. The message emphasized that God's love and grace are fully sufficient for believers, removing the need to strive for perfection and instead inviting rest in His love. The group reflected on the simplicity and completeness of faith in Christ and how resting in His grace brings peace and assurance.Themes: The sufficiency of God's grace and love Dangers of false teaching and striving for perfection Rest and assurance found in faith alone Reflection Question: How can I rest more deeply in God's grace and share His hope with others around me?

Standing Firm in ExileDaniel 1: 1-7 Over and over again one of the central truths of the Bible is "Our Lord Reigns."Even in moments of darkness, even when the future feels uncertain, God is sovereign.He is not distant. He is not silent. He is present and ruling - even when things are falling apart. Daniel 1 teaches about God's sovereignty showing HE is in control even when people suffer, and the importance of standing firm in one's convictions by refusing to compromise faith, despite intense pressure to conform to worldly customs. It demonstrates that obedience to God brings divine favor and wisdom as seen when Daniel and his friends are rewarded with superior knowledge for their faithfulness to a simple diet and their convictions.  God Bless,Jeff Willis

There's more going on in that infamous Republicans groupchat than most realize but the real issue isn't the gossip, it's how easily people trade conviction for comfort.

We'll also cover more updates on the Charlie Kirk case and how Trump's failures in his second term (including his refusal to release the Epstein list and his submission to Israel) prove that no man should ever be placed where only God belongs.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

The enemy wants to prowl around and destroy us. But, we don't have to be easy pray. We submit to God and resist the enemy. When the enemies attacks come we can rebuke him. We employ godly strategies for our life instead of worldly.

As Peter closes his letter, he speaks from personal experience — not as a perfect leader, but as one who has failed, suffered, and been restored by Jesus. He calls the church to lead with humility, to clothe themselves in trust, and to stay spiritually alert as the enemy seeks to devour.

John MacArthur's recent passing is both sorrowful and hopeful, as the church grieves his absence yet rejoices because he is now with the Lord. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar reflect on his significant influence, recalling how he introduced many to expository preaching, faithfully working through Scripture verse by verse instead of letting topics drive the message. They share memories of his warmth in personal encounters, his passion for doctrinal clarity, and his courage to stand firm even when threatened during times of cultural opposition. His voice carried clarity and conviction, always pointing to Christ and letting God's word speak for itself. While recognizing his humanity and imperfections, they honor him as a trailblazer whose ministry built churches filled with a love for truth and whose legacy transcended denominational and theological boundaries. His life and preaching serve as a reminder that God delights in using faithful but flawed people to advance His glory, leaving a legacy that will continue to influence generations to come.Send us a textThanks for listening!
