Today's devotion reminds you why it's worth holding on.This was first aired on Radio HCI Today via the WeLove Radio App.

Faithfulness never goes unnoticed by Heaven.

Send us a textWhat if the most crowded parts of your week are actually the doorway to deeper peace? We step straight into the rush—kid drop-offs, work sprints, grocery runs, weekend marathons—and ask a harder, better question: where is the space for God when every square of the calendar is filled? The answer isn't to tidy up first. It's to bring the whole mess—exhaustion, pressure, deadlines, and all—and let God meet you there.We unpack a simple, strong framework from James 1: count it all joy, let steadfastness grow, ask boldly for wisdom, and pursue righteousness that shows up in everyday choices. Joy in trials sounds impossible until you see what it really is: perspective anchored in promise. Steadfastness isn't a heroic moment; it's the daily habit that readies you for the tests you didn't plan for. Wisdom isn't scarce; God gives it generously to those who ask. And righteousness isn't earned; it's received in Christ, then expressed as being quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger.To make this real, we walk through imperfect heroes—Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Samson—people who stumbled and still stepped into God's purpose. Their stories remind us that failure isn't final and your past doesn't get the last word. We get honest about anger and bitterness, how they masquerade as protection but function like chains. Freedom comes when we lay them down and invite the Holy Spirit to form new reflexes. We talk practical rhythms too: putting God first before the phone, building community that keeps you grounded, and creating small, repeatable practices that hold when life gets loud.If your life feels messy, you're not disqualified—you're ready. Listen, share it with a friend who needs the reminder, and subscribe so you never miss a conversation that brings peace into the middle of real life. And if this spoke to you, leave a review with one insight you're putting into practice this week.Cornerstonehttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/Follow Jesushttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/follow-...Life Groups https://www.cornerstoneaz.org/life-gr...Giving https://cornerstoneaz.churchcenter.co...Church Center App - Download then add Cornerstone Christian Center in Avondale, AZiOShttps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-ch...Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/de...----Instagram cornerstoneaz Facebook cornerstoneaz.org Twitter cornerstoneaz.org

Faithfulness is not stillness but fiercely guarding belonging for all who are cast aside until God's new light rises.

If you are a pastor-preacher, and your heart is where it should be, then this short sermon is likely to resonate with you. However, it may be that, if you are not a pastor, you have rarely or even never thought about the way in which an under-shepherd of Christ's flock considers the sheep entrusted to his care by the Great Shepherd. This short sermon expresses the deep concern and abiding affection which a true pastor has for the people to whom he preaches and over whom he watches. Spurgeon describes is as the pastor's life being “wrapped up with his people's faithfulness.” There is nothing that more grieves him than a departure from the way of truth, there is nothing that more delights him than to see the saints standing fast. He looks at all sides of this experience—those who are not in the Lord at all, those who appear to be in the Lord but are not standing fast, and those who are in the Lord and standing fast, who bring deep joy to an overseer's heart. This sermon will help you, on the one hand, to consider your own heart; on the other, it might give you a glimpse into the heart of your pastors, and help you to appreciate and to pray for them.

The Power of the 41st Day!

Philippians 4:1-13 Closing Appeal for Steadfastness and Unity 4 Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, dear friends! 2 I plead with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord. 3 Yes, and I ask you, my true companion, help these women since they have contended at my side in the cause of the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are in the book of life. Final Exhortations 4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. Thanks for Their Gifts 10 I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. 11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

Send us a textThere are two very important components to our Christian walk. Having truth isn't enough if we don't have the steadfastness to walk in truth. The same can be said with steadfastness, if a person has the willingness to commit but are committing to something other than the truth of God's word it will do them or those around them no good.  Listen as Pastor Chuck examines the importance of being steadfast to the truth of God's word.  Support the showFor more information about Wings of Healing Worship Center please visit our website at www.wingsofhealingwp.orgOur services are streamed live on YouTube and Facebook, and you can follow us on Instragram, Facebook, and YouTube for more information and updates.Have a wonderful day!

In this episode of Pathway to Peace, the presenters explore the timeless virtue of steadfastness -what it means, how it is understood across cultures, and why it remains vital in our lives today. Through reflections on the Holy Prophet Muhammad's (peace & blessings be upon him) example and the sacrifices of early Muslims, we learn how steadfastness transforms hardship into worship and endurance into spiritual strength. How does this quality apply in mental health, relationships, and personal growth, anchoring us in a world of constant change, fleeting trends, and shifting ideologies.

Steadfastness—endurance and patience under pressure—is an active, Spirit-powered response to trials that God uses to shape us into Christlikeness, proving His presence and refining our faith rather than signaling His absence.

When we gather together, we do so to honor God, to seek His kingdom first, and to trust that He is present with us—Emmanuel, God with us. Life is full of unexpected events, and how we respond to them reveals the true state of our hearts. Easy days rarely show our character; it's the curveballs, the tragedies, and the moments of loss that expose what's really inside us. Whether it's a personal crisis, a national tragedy, or simply the daily grind, these moments test us and shape us for eternity. Reflecting on the story of David in 1 Samuel 30, we see a powerful example of how to respond when everything falls apart. David and his men returned to find their city burned and their families taken. The initial responses were deeply human: some wept until they had no strength left, others looked for someone to blame. These are natural reactions, but they don't bring healing or restoration. Pain is unavoidable, but misery is optional; it's all about how we steward our pain. David, however, chose a different path. Instead of looking inward in despair or outward in blame, he looked upward—he strengthened himself in the Lord. This was a hinge moment in his life, a turning point that prepared him to become king. He prayed, sought godly counsel, praised God, remembered God's past faithfulness, and sometimes simply waited in trust. These practices are not just ancient history; they are the blueprint for how we can respond to our own trials. We are called to cast our cares on Jesus, to surround ourselves with people who point us back to Him, to praise even when it's hard, to remember God's faithfulness, and to wait on Him when we have no words left. Communion reminds us that evil does not win—what looked like the darkest day in history became Good Friday because God turned evil to good. We live in hope, knowing that one day all evil will be destroyed and we will dwell with God forever. Until then, we don't waste our days in fear or bitterness, but we find our strength, rest, and victory in Jesus.

Pastor Mike invites listeners into a sermon about steadfastness and spiritual habits, inspired by Ephesians and Matthew. He explores how small, faithful actions — like saving, praying, and choosing integrity — compound over time to produce significant spiritual growth. The message outlines four elements of "grit": grace, resilience, integrity, and teachability, and encourages believers to be faithful in little things so God can work through them and yield lasting, eternal rewards. -- Steadfastness Takes GRIT! Matthew 17:20 Introduction:  “Stick and Stay and it will Pay” Being faithful in the little things is a big Matthew 17:20; Luke 16:10 Faithfulness compounds over time, but it takes GRIT! G - Grace “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” - 2 Corinthians 12:9  R - Resilience Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. - Galatians 6:9 I - Integrity If you have integrity, nothing else matters. And if you don't have integrity, nothing else matters. The integrity of the upright will guide them, but the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them. - Proverbs 11:3 T - Teachability “Instruct the wise, and they will be even wiser. Teach the righteous, and they will learn even more.” Proverbs 9:9 NLT “If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall.”- 1 Corinthians 10:12 NLT Conclusion: Faithfulness compounded.  “Well done, good and faithful servant! …”- Matthew 25:21 NIV with Pastor Mike Curry -- Find other Podcasts, Sermon Notes and the Bulletin here. https://www.mvcnaz.org/live Stay in touch with our Church Center App at https://www.mvcnaz.org/churchcenter Contact us through our CONNECT form at https://www.mvcnaz.org/connect

We were reminded that God is the faithful foundation of our lives, the One who never changes even as everything around us shifts. We reflected on the sufficiency of His Word and the assurance that His promises hold us steady. Through prayer, thanksgiving, and reflection on Scripture, we were encouraged to remain steadfast, discerning, and grounded in truth as we await the Lord's return.

In many ways, this podcast has been ours—a space to think, laugh, question, and reconnect. Here's what we're all about: • Raw honesty and deep curiosity • Stories that spark fresh thinking • Celebrating competence and being fully alive • Humor that helps lighten the load Today, we raise a toast—to our steadfastness, our friendship, and to you, our listeners. Your support makes all of this possible. So for the 200th time… come on in. Grab a snack. Welcome!
