Called to contemplate the cost of discipleship, we might be helped by translating Paul's request to Philemon into our prayer of the day: Refresh my heart in Christ. Strengthened by the company and forgiveness of Christ in holy communion and recalling God's grace in remembrance of baptism, we can be strengthened in this hour to “choose life”—to choose life in God as our own.Scripture Reading: Psalm 1; Philemon 1-21; Luke 14:25-33
Team Internet Group plc (AIM:TIG, OTCQX:TIGXF) CEO Michael Riedl and chief financial officer Billy Green talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's transformation strategy, financial performance, and outlook for the remainder of 2025. Riedl said that Team Internet is now “leaner, sharper and more balanced than a year ago”, with strong fundamentals supporting long-term value creation. The company has modernised its product portfolio, entered new markets, and streamlined its cost base. Each business unit is now contributing to growth, with recent success in long-term contracts such as the ten-year .co domain contract in Colombia. He also highlighted the international scaling of the comparison business and the successful transition of the search division to the Related Search On Content (RSOC) model, which he said has received strong interest from advertisers. Green added that the company has maintained a clear focus on cash generation and debt reduction. He noted that net debt, which was £109.9 million at the end of June 2024, had been brought below £100 million and continues to decrease. Green stressed that despite the focus on debt, the company continues to reinvest in its platforms and maintain capital expenditure where necessary. Riedl concluded by reaffirming confidence in the strategy, adding: “We have demonstrated that we can grow profitably in broad markets… and advertisers absolutely love [RSOC].” For more interviews and updates, visit Proactive's YouTube channel.

In the last two verses of Hebrews 10, we read, the just shall live by faith, but if any man draw back, My soul shall have no pleasure in him. Now in Hebrews 11, the writer continues to encourage Hebrew believers of the first century (and us) to continue in the faith of Christ, looking forward in hope to the promise of eternal life in heaven.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“Grace puts its hand on the boasting mouth, and shuts it once for all.”~Charles Spurgeon “Certainly we should be very active in seeking God, and Jesus himself called us to ‘ask, seek, knock' in order to find him. Yet those who enter a relationship with God inevitably look back and recognize that God's grace had sought them out, breaking them open to new realities.”~Tim Keller “A man can no more take in a supply of grace for the future than he can eat enough today to last him for the next 6 months, nor can he inhale sufficient air into his lungs with one breath to sustain life for a week to come. We are permitted to draw upon God's store of grace from day to day as we need it.”~Dwight L. Moody “Your worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God's grace. And your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God's grace.”~Jerry Bridges “When the worst thing you could ever imagine happens, there is something that was not there in your imaginings—and that is the grace of God.”~Elisabeth Elliot SERMON PASSAGE7 Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith. 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. 9 Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, which have not benefited those devoted to them. 10 We have an altar from which those who serve the tent have no right to eat. 11 For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy places by the high priest as a sacrifice for sin are burned outside the camp. 12 So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood. 13 Therefore let us go to him outside the camp and bear the reproach he endured. 14 For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come. 15 Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name. 16 Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God. 17 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you. 18 Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience, desiring to act honorably in all things. 19 I urge you the more earnestly to do this in order that I may be restored to you the sooner.

Strengthened and renewed after my time of prayer this summer, next week I shall be speaking to more than 1500 young people at their annual All-Central Asia Youth Conference, where I have been the main guest speaker for several years. This move of God in Central Asia is so feared by the authorities that the founder and organiser is not allowed to speak or even show his face at his own event – or he will be arrested! But he is my good friend, and we will spend time together! Supporting and facilitating such a significant event takes money and needs much prayer.

When kids swear, it often feels jarring, disrespectful, or even threatening. But swearing isn't about defiance or being a bad kid- it's a clue about the state of your child's nervous system. Swearing might mean your child is overwhelmed, dysregulated, or struggling to find their real voice. Of course, understanding the behavior isn't excusing the behavior. BUT! When we understand where the behavior is coming from, we get much better and more effective ideas about how to address it.In this episode, we explore what's really going on beneath the swearing, why it might be possible to consider that swearing isn't inherently bad, and how parents can respond in ways that build regulation, connection, and felt safety.In this episode, you'll learn:Why your own reaction to swearing is the first thing to explore, and how to regulate through itWhat swearing might really be communicating, including pain, overwhelm, or a need for controlHow to scaffold emotional expression so your child learns to use their real voice instead of cussing Resources mentioned in this podcast:Regulated Does Not Equal Calm {EP 31}Boundaries with Connection Part 1 of 3 {EP 111}Boundaries With Verbal Aggression with Juliane Taylor Shore {EP 115}How I've Strengthened my Psychological Boundaries {EP 117}Match The Energy, NOT the Dysregulation {EP 155}The Club is welcoming new members starting next Tuesday!

August 3rd, 2025 | REIMAGINE | Ephesians 3:14-21What if your prayer life wasn't built around limitations—but on the limitless power of God? In this message from Ephesians 3, Pastor Matt Darby kicks off a two-week journey to reimagine what God can do—not just around us, but within us.This week, we unpack Paul's powerful prayer in Ephesians 3:14–21, a turning point in his letter to the Ephesians. Paul prays for believers to be:Strengthened with supernatural power through the Holy SpiritAnchored in the indwelling presence of ChristRooted in and overwhelmed by the incomprehensible love of JesusFilled with the fullness of GodToo often, we settle for being saved and stop short of living the abundant life. We get spiritually bored and start asking, "Is Jesus really enough?" Pastor Matt calls us to recapture the wonder of what God can do through a Spirit-empowered life.At New Beginnings, we're also stepping into a renewed commitment to prayer. Why? Because prayer is what positions us to engage, experience, and witness the immeasurable power of God. It's not about doing more for Him—it's about opening ourselves to receive more from Him.Let this message be an invitation to reimagine what your life, your home, and our church could look like if we were fully strengthened, indwelt, rooted, and filled with God Himself.“Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think...” (Eph. 3:20)Do you know JESUS? https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesusNeed PRAYER? https://www.nbgilmer.org/praySupport through GIVING: https://www.nbbctx.org/giving

Guiding Question How do you stand strong and live well when you're spiritually on your own? Summary In this message, Robert Lewis draws a parallel between the emotional farewell of parents dropping their child off at college and the apostle Paul's final words to the Corinthian church in 1 Corinthians 16. These “parting words” from Paul are short but charged imperatives meant to prepare the young, struggling Corinthian believers to live faithfully when left to stand on their own. Lewis opens by summarizing the spiritual condition of the Corinthian church: educated and gifted, yet immature, morally confused, and spiritually wobbly. Then he unpacks Paul's five closing exhortations in verses 13–14—urging believers to be spiritually alert, to stand firm in their faith, to be courageous, to draw strength from Christ, and to do everything in love. Each imperative comes with vivid illustrations and real-world applications. The message concludes with a personal challenge: When you're spiritually alone—at work, at home, or in a crisis—what's actually true of you? And if it's not working, are you ready to become something more? Outline: Introduction: A Parent's Parting Words – Connecting college send-offs to Paul's final exhortations. Snapshot of the Corinthian Church – Gifted but immature, well-taught but not spiritually grounded. Paul's Parting Words (1 Corinthians 16:13–14): Be spiritually alert – Stay awake to the spiritual realities and threats around you. Stand firm in the faith – Hold fast to historic Christian truth amid cultural drift. Be courageous – Take bold leaps of faith and live for eternal rewards. Be strong (in the Lord) – Draw inner strength from the living presence of Christ. Do everything in love – Let love temper your convictions and your courage. Application Challenge – What is true of you when you're spiritually alone? Key Takeaways Living the Christian life means learning to stand alone with strength, courage, and clarity. Faith requires spiritual alertness in a world filled with subtle and overt threats to your soul. You must decide if you truly believe “the faith” (historic Christian teaching)—because you can't stand firm in what you're not sure of. The Christian journey involves leaping into faith experiences that feel risky but reveal God's power. Inner strength comes not from self, but from Christ alive in you. Love must guide all your spiritual practices; without it, truth becomes harsh and courage becomes pride. Scriptural References 1 Corinthians 16:13–14 – Paul's five imperatives: “Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong, let all you do be done in love.” 1 Corinthians 3:1–3 – The Corinthians were spiritual infants. Hebrews 5:14 – Mature believers have trained their senses to discern good and evil. 2 Thessalonians 2:15 – “Stand firm...and hold to the teachings.” Ephesians 3:16 – Strengthened with power through the Spirit in the inner man. Colossians 1:27 – “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” John 14:23 – Jesus promises to make His home with those who love and obey Him. Recorded 8/8/04
Through 1 Corinthians 15, Sam reminds us that Jesus didn't just die and rise again for a one-time rescue, but offers daily grace to stand, grow, and keep going even when life feels overwhelming.

Today,we're continuing to look at the mysteries of Gethsemane in Luke 22:40-46. Jesus is preparing for that hour, the hour that He willlay down His life on the cross for the sins of the world. Literally, when Satandoes everything he can to keep Him from the cross. But what the devil means for badand evil, the Bible tells us, God often means for good. The first Adam, who should never have sinned, sinned andbrought sin into the world. But the second Adam, Jesus Christ, as 1 Corinthianschapter 15 tells us, is the only One who is able to take away the sins of theworld, as John chapter 1 states. HereJesus is in the garden, and this passage, unique to Luke's gospel, says that anangel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. Jesus is praying,He's facing a tremendous trial—mentally, emotionally, physically,spiritually—it's overwhelming. Yet Jesus, the Son of God, has an angel helpHim, strengthen Him. I can't help but meditate and think about this but admit Idon't understand it totally. Jesus was all God; yet at the same time, He wasall human, and His humanity needed strengthening as He faced the cross, thecruelties, and the slander. He came to His own, but His own received Him not.He was rejected, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. He said alreadythat He was overwhelmed with sorrow. Tomorrowwe are going to talk about the prayer where He prays and then the sweat and theblood seem to flow from Him. But today, Jesus is there at the cross, goingthrough this ordeal of great sorrow. He's pouring out His soul to the Father, "NotMy will, but Thy will be done. Take this cup from Me." He's facingthat trial, that temptation that we face as human beings to do our will, to dowhat we want to do. But Jesus was committed to the will of God. He always wascommitted. "I came to do Thy will, O My Father." I love how even thisprayer begins with "Father." Jesus often referred to God asFather, and you find that one of the most popular words in the gospel of Johnis "Father." Interestingly,as a side note, John doesn't mention this prayer in the garden of Gethsemane.He mentions the high priestly prayer on the way to the garden somewhere. MaybeJohn chapter 17 is a prayer that Jesus prayed in the garden, but John doesn'ttell us that because after that prayer, it says they left the upper room andwent to the garden nearby, in John 18, and then he goes directly into Judascoming to betray Jesus. Luketells us that Jesus has an angel come and strengthen Him in the gardenof Gethsemane. Jesus needed that strengthening, and you and I need to bestrengthened. God has many different ways to do this. We need the strength ofother Christians praying for us. We need the strength, comfort, andencouragement of fellowship with other Christians in the church. We definitelydo. But there are times that no one can help us but God Himself, and God cansend ministering spirits, angels, that will take us through that trial, thathard suffering, whatever it is. I'llnever forget a time when I was in the depths of despair in my life, and I knowthat night I was strengthened by an angel. I don't want to go into the detailsof that, but it was definitely an angel who spoke to me, encouraged me, and Iknew that I heard him say that there were more with me than there were againstme. That's what he told me, and I'm telling you, my friend, God will strengthenyou, and if He needs to do it miraculously with an angel, He will. That'show He did it with Jesus, and I'm thinking if Jesus needed it, I need it too attimes. I've learned by experience that whenever I am obedient to the will ofthe Father and yield my life to Him and the Holy Spirit, in some wonderful andmiraculous way at the moment I receive His energy and grace for the challengeI'm facing! Itrust you will continue to meditate on these things and be in awe of your greatGod and Savior Jesus Christ and Father in heaven.

Habakkuk 1:1-17 The oracle that Habakkuk the prophet saw. 2 O Lord, how long shall I cry for help, and you will not hear? Or cry to you “Violence!” and you will not save? 3 Why do you make me see iniquity, and why do you idly look at wrong? Destruction and violence are before me; strife and contention arise. 4 So the law is paralyzed, and justice never goes forth. For the wicked surround the righteous; so justice goes forth perverted. 5 “Look among the nations, and see; wonder and be astounded. For I am doing a work in your days that you would not believe if told. 6 For behold, I am raising up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, who march through the breadth of the earth, to seize dwellings not their own. 7 They are dreaded and fearsome; their justice and dignity go forth from themselves. 8 Their horses are swifter than leopards, more fierce than the evening wolves; their horsemen press proudly on. Their horsemen come from afar; they fly like an eagle swift to devour. 9 They all come for violence, all their faces forward. They gather captives like sand. 10 At kings they scoff, and at rulers they laugh. 12They laugh at every fortress, for they pile up earth and take it. 11 Then they sweep by like the wind and go on, guilty men, whose own might is their god!” 12 Are you not from everlasting, O Lord my God, my Holy One? We shall not die. O Lord, you have ordained them as a judgment, and you, O Rock, have established them for reproof. 13 You who are of purer eyes than to see evil and cannot look at wrong, why do you idly look at traitors and remain silent when the wicked swallows up the man more righteous than he? 14 You make mankind like the fish of the sea, like crawling things that have no ruler. 15 He brings all of them up with a hook; he drags them out with his net; he gathers them in his dragnet; so he rejoices and is glad. 16 Therefore he sacrifices to his net and makes offerings to his dragnet; for by them he lives in luxury, and his food is rich. 17 Is he then to keep on emptying his net and mercilessly killing nations forever?

The Apostle Paul prays for Christians to be strengthened that Christ may dwell in their hearts with the result that they may be rooted and grounded in love. He prays that they would be able to comprehend Christ's love so that they may be filled with all God's fullness. Thus, as we continue pursuing love, we understand not only what has already been done for us, but we also show to others that love which is paramount in the life of the Christian. Ephesians 3:14-15 To name is to exert power over, often as the creator. The Father is the supreme source of everyone on earth as well as the spiritual powers in heaven. It's always helpful to remember to whom you're praying at the start of your prayer. Ephesians 3:16-17 Here God's spirit strengthens so Christ can dwell in our hearts with the result that we become rooted and grounded in love. God's love shown through Christ is the most powerful redeeming force in the universe, capable of turning enemies into family (John 3:16; Rom 5:6-8). As Martin Luther King Jr. said, “Love is the absolute power” (Love Your Enemies Sermon, March 7, 1961, Detroit, MI). Ephesians 3:18-19 Paul prays that Christians would be able to grasp a truth so deep and profound that it surpasses knowledge—the love of Christ. Loving others when they've given you reason to hate them doesn't make sense, but it follows Christ's example and can result in total transformation. When we finally experientially know the love of Christ, we can be filled with all God's fullness—a staggering thought! As Christ was filled with God, so can we (Col 2:9; John 3:34). Ephesians 3:20-21 God is capable of doing so much more than we can ask or even imagine. He is worthy of our devotion and dedication. In fact, our lives are to bring Him glory, not only individually, but also as a group. Is your life bringing glory to God?The post Ephesians Part 6: Strengthened, Rooted, Filled first appeared on Living Hope.

Summary: Back in February, we were joined on the show by Stuart Haselden, CEO of outdoor apparel company, Arc'Teryx. Hearing about his retail philosophy and personal story was absolutely fascinating, so we decided to revisit the episode for listeners who may have missed it the first time around. You've heard it before: "The customer is always right." For many businesses, that's sound advice. But for premium brands, the road to success often takes a different route. Rather than reacting to every shift in demand, it's about staying rooted in a philosophy: delivering quality, staying authentic, and fostering relationships that stand the test of time. Today's guest has fully embraced this approach, leveraging his brand's strengths to set a new standard of excellence in the technical apparel market. Stuart Haselden has been the CEO of Arc'teryx since 2021 and brings over 20 years of global experience in retail and premium brands to the company, having worked in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia for brands such as Away Travel, Lululemon, J.Crew, and Saks Fifth Avenue. His career began in the United States Army where he served as a Cavalry Officer—a defining experience for him that has shaped his views on leadership. It was also the beginning of a lifelong love of mountain and alpine sports, as Stuart learned to ski in the Austrian Alps while stationed in Germany. In this episode, Stuart shares how Arc'teryx has expanded its direct-to-consumer model while preserving the brand's authenticity. He explains how a relentless focus on performance and innovation has fueled the company's growth and set it apart in the competitive technical apparel space. Stuart also talks about the leadership strategies that have guided Arc'teryx's evolution—and how they're shaping its future.
