When anxious thoughts flood your mind and you feel like you're living in a fog—disconnected from the moment and overwhelmed by “what ifs”—you’re not alone. In today’s devotional, Kelly Balarie vulnerably shares how anxiety hijacked her thoughts even in the middle of everyday moments with her kids. But instead of staying stuck in the spiral of fear, she turned to Psalm 27:1 and found refuge in God's Word:“The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear?” We encourage you to pray: “Lord, help me to release what I’m holding onto so tightly. Let me trust that You are my stronghold, my refuge, and my salvation—even when I feel like I’m falling apart.” When our grip on life feels weak, God reminds us: He’s the one holding on tight.Let this be your permission to stop rehearsing worst-case scenarios and instead rest in the truth that God is your Light, your Refuge, and your Stronghold. When we move out of the way, we make way for the Way Maker. Join the Conversation:Have you ever been so anxious that you struggled to be present? What verse has helped anchor you in those moments? Let us know @LifeaudioNetwork or by email. We’d love to hear your story and stand with you in faith.

I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. Philippians 4:11-13 NLTHe who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth with his income; this also is vanity. Ecclesiastes 5:10 ESVGreed only and always leads to discontentment.To much is never enough for the person trapped in a the stronghold of discontentment. Discontentment will shadow you if your primary focus is always on yourself.Humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor. Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. I Peter 5:6-7 NLTHe must increase, but I must decrease. John 3:30 ESVWhen I choose what the Lord thinks and wants, I'm content, but when I choose what I think and want, I'm not.This is what the LORD of Heaven's Armies says: Look at what's happening to you! You have planted much but harvest little. You eat but are not satisfied. You drink but are still thirsty. You put on clothes but cannot keep warm. Your wages disappear as though you were putting them in pockets filled with holes! “This is what the LORD of Heaven's Armies says: Look at what's happening to you! Now go up into the hills, bring down timber, and rebuild my house. Then I will take pleasure in it and be honored, says the LORD. You hoped for rich harvests, but they were poor. And when you brought your harvest home, I blew it away. Why? Because my house lies in ruins, says the LORD of Heaven's Armies, while all of you are busy building your own fine houses. It's because of you that the heavens withhold the dew and the earth produces no crops. Haggai 1:2-10 NLTThe pursuit of happiness doesn't lead to contentment, but the pursuit of God and His priorities does.Discontentment is a deception that the enemy uses to coax people out of the will of God.True godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can't take anything with us when we leave it. So if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content. 1 Timothy 6:6-8 NLTThe root word for contentment is the Latin contentus, which means “held together” or “intact, whole.”Whole and held together by God is a miraculous reality the devil doesn't want you to discover.Contentment comes from pursuing the right treasure for the right reasons with radical trust in your creator.Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 NLT

Do you have a place/person of refuge during times of trouble?

When we're putting our trust in God, what are we choosing to do? And what are we getting from Him? We often don't trustGod I because we don't know the answers to these two key questions. Ps. 91 uncovers the connection: when we choose to make God our shelter and stronghold, He promises we'll get Him and His life.

We're so glad you are here! Thanks for checking out Sunday's message!-- SUNDAY'S NOTES --I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. I want to do what is right, but I can't. I want to do what is good, but I don't. I don't want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway. - Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death? Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 7:18-19 & 24 NLTBy grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 ESVSalvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone! We're not saved because we win over sin, but rather we win over sin because we're saved.Well then, since God's grace has set us free from the law, does that mean we can go on sinning? Of course not! Don't you realize that you become the slave of whatever you choose to obey? You can be a slave to sin, which leads to death, or you can choose to obey God, which leads to righteous living. Romans 6:15-16 NLTIt's not God's will that His sons and daughters live as slaves to habitual sin. When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God. Galatians 5:19-21 NLT1) Sin is not worth it.. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23 ESVUntamed passions will take a prince from the palace to a prison, while consecrated passions will take a prince from a prison to the palace!2) You have to own your sin to overcome your sin.If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness. 1 John 1:8-9 NLTTemptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death. James 1:14-15 NLTNo temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. 1 Corinthians 10:13 NIVI can follow God to Freedom! 3) You can Identify and Avoid Temptation's Traps. Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace. Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts. 2 Timothy 2:22 NLT Real freedom requires a willingness to make wise, even radical choices. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8 ESVIf your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. Matthew 5:29 ESVWe all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is mature, able also to control the whole body. James 3:2 CSBCompromise in areas you think you don't struggle will cost you in the areas you know you do.Isolation is one of our enemies most effective strategies.Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 NLT Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire. Proverbs 18:1 ESV4) To resist the sin nature is to surrender to God's natureThe Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit's leading in every part of our lives. Galatians 5:22-25 ESV5) Live all in with God Ephesians 6:12-13 NLTI know all the things you do, that you are neither hot nor cold. I wish that you were one or the other! But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth! Revelation 3:15 NLT Luke warm will never win against sin. It takes God's armor, God's weapons and God's favor to win the war against sin.-------------------------------------------------Download the 828 Church app!To view our latest e-newsletter, the Midweek Momentum, and subscribe to our weekly updates, go here! https://linktr.ee/828church

Pastor Dan | Christ Stronghold | Forgiven | Part 8 | Friday 04 April 2025

Adam Peters, a military veteran turned advocate for fellow veterans, has successfully transitioned into civilian life with a mission to improve the quality of life for others. His journey took a transformative turn in July 2023 during an ayahuasca ceremony in Terrapoto, Peru, where he discovered self-love and confidence, elements he found lacking in traditional transition programs like ACAP. Motivated by his newfound insights and a friend's suggestion, Adam became active on LinkedIn, connecting with other creators and focusing on veteran support. Through his podcast and the Stronghold community, he emphasizes resilience, personal growth, and the power of community, advocating for mental health practices like plant medicine and mindfulness as crucial tools for veterans navigating their post-military lives.

Welcome back to the Insurance Leadership Podcast! What happens when the uniform comes off—but the mission isn't over? Army veteran and entrepreneur Adam Peters joins co-host Casey Combest to talk life after service, rebuilding identity, and leading with authenticity. From combat zones to boardrooms, Adam shares how discipline, vulnerability, and purpose helped him launch Stronghold—a thriving community supporting veterans in transition. This episode is packed with leadership insights for anyone navigating change, redefining success, or learning to lead from who they truly are.  

In the seventh episode of "Christian Meditation," Brother Duane teaches how our thoughts become strongholds in a spiritual battle. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 discusses pulling down strongholds and taking every thought captive to Christ, revealing the spiritual warfare involved in our thinking patterns. Many believers struggle with strongholds. A stronghold starts with a thought. Some thoughts are from us, some are from our past, and some are opinions and ideologies of the world. Strongholds are not demons but false beliefs and thought patterns that become a fortress that Satan uses to enslave us. Satan hides in our mental strongholds, but the process of meditation renews our minds and pulls down spiritual strongholds. 

Federal Conservative Party Leader, Pierre Poilievre, was positioned for a landslide win over the federal liberals, but incomes a new rival leader, and voters seem to have no problem moving the pendulum - and fast! Recent leaks from inside the campaign paint a chaotic picture for the federal tories just one month out from when Canadians head to the polls, and with the unpredictability of a diminishing Canada-US relationship, the concerns that shape the big ballot question come April 28 no longer mirror what they used to be just a few weeks ago. Host David Smith speaks to CEO of Abacus Data, David Coletto, about what's driving the pre-polling tank for a party once destined for victory, as well as what's grabbing the attention of Canadian voters in a time of economic despair, a pending North American trade war, and a sudden burst of Canadian patriotism.

Ps 27 continues with David concluding his confident declaration of faith (v1-6), saying: “And now my head shall be lifted up (in honour) above my enemies all around me” (v6a). God will exalt him to be king (v5). If we exalt Him in worship, He'll exalt us. Time in worship gives us confidence in God's protection & hope for the future. He sees beyond the present to God's victory, when he'll praise God with His people, thanking Him for manifested victory: “Therefore, I will offer sacrifices of joy in His Tabernacle; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord” (v6b). God gave him victory over the immediate threat (v1-6), but he had to endure a hardness for 8 years, in constant danger & need for His help, so now he moves to humble entreaty for ongoing favour & deliverance (v7-12). Knowing himself as weak & sinful, dependent on God, he doesn't presume on His blessing, but urgently asks for continuing mercy & grace. v7: “Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice! Have mercy also on me, and answer me” (v7). Due to the wait time between promise & fulfilment, he battles negative thoughts of fear & condemnation. But as a worshipper (v4-6), rather than giving into fears, he gives them to God in prayer (v7-12) & comes into assurance (v13). “When You said: “SEEK My FACE (Presence)!” My HEART said to You: “Your FACE (Presence), Lord, I WILL SEEK” (v8). He reminds God, He initiated this relationship by inviting him to seek Him. This is God's command to all, for the first ‘seek' is plural. He graciously invites all to seek & find Him, to know Him personally. True prayer is our response to His gracious initiative. He reminds God he did respond by setting his will (heart) to seek & know Him. So, he was sure he'd find Him, for God reveals Himself & blesses all who seek Him (Deut 4:29, Jer 29:13, Matt 7:7). Those who don't find God have not set their heart to seek to know Him. Saying: “I WILL seek” shows intentionality. He was a man (who sought) after God's heart (v4, 1Sam 13:14, Acts 13:22). We need to pay attention to God, if we want Him to pay attention to us (hear our prayers). He realises he's not perfect & deserves condemnation, so has to deal with negative accusing thoughts, which he does in prayer: “Do not hide Your FACE from me, do not turn Your servant away in anger” (v9a). When His face shines on us, He's gracious toward us, but if He hides His face, He's displeased, and we need to confess our sin & turn back to Him. “You have been my help (in the past, so); do not leave (abandon) me (now) nor forsake me (in my time of need), O God of my salvation” (v9b). In his weakness, he abandons himself to God, expressing total dependence on Him. This is how to handle inner fears - bring them to God. When you sin don't run from God, but to God. He's the God of your salvation. Despite our failings, if we seek Him (v8), He'll not hide His face from us (v9). He knew God as His Saviour (v9) & perfect Parent: “When (even if) my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take care of me (receive, gather me up as a father lifts up his son & provides for him)” (v10). Even if our strongest relationships fail, God will not forsake us. He has that assurance, for God is what every parent should be (merciful, faithful, loving & forgiving). Having spent face to face time with God, he now prays for guidance, to walk in His will: “(1) TEACH me Your WAY, O Lord, and (2) LEAD me in a smooth (straight, level) path, because of my enemies (lit: watchful foes, looking for him to go wrong & take advantage)” (v11). (1) We need to know the WAY and (2) be LED step by step in it. “Do not deliver me to the will (desire) of my adversaries (v3, including demons); for false witnesses have risen against me, and such as breathe out (threats & acts of) violence.” Having faced his inner fears, he prayed through into the light of assurance: “I would have lost heart, UNLESS I had (firmly) BELIEVED that I would SEE (look steadfastly on, as in v4) the (manifest) goodness (promised provision) of the Lord in the land of the living (in this life)” (v13). Thus, it finishes as it starts with confidence God's plan will come to pass (he'll be king). If we look on the Lord in worship (v4) & wait on Him in faith (v14), His glory will change us and bring God's will to pass in our life. v14: “WAIT (in FAITH) on (set your HOPE on) the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart. WAIT, I say, on the Lord!” WAIT is repeated for emphasis. He speaks to himself, then us. YLT: “LOOK to Jehovah, be STRONG, and He will STRENGTHEN your HEART, yea, LOOK to Jehovah!” When God promises, its time of fulfilment is in His hands. Sometimes there's a delay, as with David. The danger is to lose heart. So, in this time, we must stand strong in faith, believing He'll bring it to pass. Wait patiently & expectantly in faith for Him, looking to Him for directions. Then His Spirit strengthens, encourages, enlightens our heart & empowers us to obey (v14).

We're so glad you are here! Thanks for checking out Sunday's message!-- SUNDAY'S NOTES --Make allowance (bear with) for each other's faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Colossians 3:13 NLTForgiveness is not an occasional act; it is a constant attitude. MLKPeter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven times?” “No, not seven times,” Jesus replied, “but seventy times seven! Matthew 18:21-22 NLTThe Stronghold of Unforgiveness!Resentment - Anger - Bitterness - Guilt - Shame - Isolation Judgment is without mercy to the one who has not shown mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment. James 2:13 CSBUnforgiveness is like being locked in a prison cell, holding the key in your hand but refusing to use it. You're intention may be to punish the one who wronged you, but you're the one locked up.Summarize Matt 18: 23-31 - You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me. And should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?' And in anger his master delivered him to the jailers, until he should pay all his debt. Matthew 18:32-34 ESVTo choose unforgiveness is to build, brick by brick, the walls of your own spiritual and emotional prison. So what do we do about it? - - Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you. Ephesians 4:31-32 NLTForgiveness isn't explaining away the hurt, it's working through the hurt with Jesus.Forgiveness isn't stuffing your anger, but rather resolving your anger by releasing the offense to God.Forgiveness ins't excusing a wrong, but letting God execute justice and mercy according to His will and wisdom.Even the unforgettable isn't unforgivable.Forgiveness isn't reconciliation and doesn't require an apology.Forgiveness isn't a feeling but rather a grace empowered choice and act of the will.Forgiveness Isn't an option! 1) Forgiveness is you forgiving yourself and receiving the forgiveness Christ has given you. - Guilt and Shame!?The unforgiven are generally also very unforgiving!If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 ESVRepentance is a God graced prerequisite to forgiveness and forgiving yourself.A consistently self-condemning attitude will keep you incarcerated in the prison of unforgiveness.Stop - You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins. He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. In this way, he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross. Colossians 2:13-15 NLT Self-condemnation is doubt in disguise.2) Forgiveness is you giving what you've been givenRemember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Colossians 3:13 NLT There is connection between what God does and what you do. You can't get forgiveness from God, for instance, without also forgiving others. If you refuse to do your part, you cut yourself off from God's part. Matthew 6:14-15 MSGTo be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you. C. S. Lewis3) Forgiveness is trusting Jesus to bring your healing, restoration and redemption. The God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. 1 Peter 5:10 ESVHe heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Psalm 147:3 ESVChoosing forgiveness is how you let Jesus cleanse and heal any wound.Don't you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now, life for many people. Genesis 50:20 MSGForgiving others is an act of gratitude and trust and the only right response to the merciful Messiah who has so graciously completely forgiven us. -------------------------------------------------Download the 828 Church app!To view our latest e-newsletter, the Midweek Momentum, and subscribe to our weekly updates, go here! https://linktr.ee/828church

Ephesians 4:31-32 NLTForgiveness isn't explaining away the hurt, it's working through the hurt with Jesus.Forgiveness isn't stuffing your anger, but rather resolving your anger by releasing the offense to God.Forgiveness ins't excusing a wrong, but letting God execute justice and mercy according to His will and wisdom.Even the unforgettable isn't unforgivable.Forgiveness isn't reconciliation and doesn't require an apology.Forgiveness isn't a feeling but rather a grace empowered choice and act of the will.Forgiveness Isn't an option! 1) Forgiveness is you forgiving yourself and receiving the forgiveness Christ has given you. - Guilt and Shame!?The unforgiven are generally also very unforgiving!If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 ESVRepentance is a God graced prerequisite to forgiveness and forgiving yourself.A consistently self-condemning attitude will keep you incarcerated in the prison of unforgiveness.Stop - You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins. He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. In this way, he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross. Colossians 2:13-15 NLT Self-condemnation is doubt in disguise.2) Forgiveness is you giving what you've been givenRemember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Colossians 3:13 NLT There is connection between what God does and what you do. You can't get forgiveness from God, for instance, without also forgiving others. If you refuse to do your part, you cut yourself off from God's part. Matthew 6:14-15 MSGTo be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you. C. S. Lewis3) Forgiveness is trusting Jesus to bring your healing, restoration and redemption. The God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. 1 Peter 5:10 ESVHe heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Psalm 147:3 ESVChoosing forgiveness is how you let Jesus cleanse and heal any wound.Don't you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now, life for many people. Genesis 50:20 MSGForgiving others is an act of gratitude and trust and the only right response to the merciful Messiah who has so graciously completely forgiven us. -------------------------------------------------Download the 828 Church app!To view our latest e-newsletter, the Midweek Momentum, and subscribe to our weekly updates, go here! https://linktr.ee/828church

Pastor Dan | Christ Stronghold | Your Sins Are Forgiven You | Part 7 | Friday 28 March 2025

What is that one weakness, bad habit, rotten attitude? Where does Satan have a stronghold within you? Stronghold. Ahh, that's a...

A Stronghold To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1002/29

Join the Stronghold crew as we talk about our exciting new campaign, game system, and cast members. Welcome back to Stronghold!

The Armour of God is described in Ephesians 6:14-17. The GOSPEL SHOES: "having shod your feet with the (shoes of) preparation (readiness) of the Gospel of Peace (another aspect of God's Word)” (v15). To be ready for battle, you need the right shoes to give you a firm footing, so you can stand your ground on God's Word and the completed victory of Christ. These are the shoes of the Gospel, which declares His finished work over sin and every enemy, thereby bringing us into peace with God (peace comes after victory). We put on the Shoes by knowing and embracing the Good News that He has won the victory and we stand firm in that truth, ready for action. We standing in His victory, rather than trying to get the victory. Then v16 says: “above (covering) all, taking (up) the SHIELD of (the) FAITH, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts (arrows) of the wicked one (God's Word is powerful).” The Shield that protects us is not our faith, but God's Word (the Faith), we need to trust in God's Word rather than our faith, but it is by faith that we take up the Shield and put it in front of us. The Word must not just wrapped around our heart, but lifted up in front of us, where it can cover every area of our life, by confessing His Word and thanking God for His promises and who He is to us (Heb 13:5-6). The roman shield was like a door covering the whole body, made of 6 layers of animal hide, anointed with oil (the Spirit) and drenched with water (Eph 5:26), able to protect even against fiery arrows filled with combustible liquid designed to explode on impact. Likewise, the anointed Word of God is empowered to protect us, even against the worst weapons of the enemy. These fiery arrows are words (thoughts) set on fire by hell (Jam 3:6), with spiritual power to penetrate our soul and set it on fire (with bitterness, anger, fear, discouragement etc) if our Shield is not up. But if we activate our Shield, by declaring: "The Lord is my Strength, Stronghold, Light, Peace, Provider Shield, Victory..." then the fiery darts will not be able to penetrate our heart and mind and emotions. Derek concludes by giving a classic example of how to put up the Shield of Faith as demonstrated by Paul in Romans 8:28-39, where he says we must not be passive in the face of the things (attacks) of life, but we must declare God's truths (Christ's love for us and His finished work) in response to these things. he asks: "what shall we say to these things?" (v31), and then tells us what we should say (v31-39). In this way, we activate our Shield of God's Word, which quench the evil thoughts (words), sent from the enemy to hurt and destroy us.

I cast you to the ground. Ezekiel 28:17 ESVPride is the original stronghold and a consistent high-minded perspective the enemy exploits for attack. But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”. Genesis 3:4 ESV Self-Righteousness If you think you're more humble than someone else, you're probably prideful!Self-righteous pride by it's nature is hard to see in yourself and easy to see in others.Then Jesus told this story to some who had great confidence in their own righteousness and scorned everyone else: “Two men went to the Temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a despised tax collector. The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed this prayer: ‘I thank you, God, that I am not like other people—cheaters, sinners, adulterers. I'm certainly not like that tax collector! I fast twice a week, and I give you a tenth of my income.' “But the tax collector stood at a distance and dared not even lift his eyes to heaven as he prayed. Instead, he beat his chest in sorrow, saying, ‘O God, be merciful to me, for I am a sinner.' I tell you, this sinner, not the Pharisee, returned home justified before God. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” Luke 18:9-14 NLTWhere jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice.

Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Philippians 2:3 ESV For by the grace given to me, I tell everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he should think. Romans 12:2 NLT Humility isn't thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less! Then he told them a story: “A rich man had a fertile farm that produced fine crops. He said to himself, ‘What should I do? I don't have room for all my crops.' Then he said, ‘I know! I'll tear down my barns and build bigger ones. Then I'll have room enough to store all my wheat and other goods. And I'll sit back and say to myself, “My friend, you have enough stored away for years to come. Now take it easy! Eat, drink, and be merry!”' “But God said to him, ‘You fool! You will die this very night. Then who will get everything you worked for?' “Yes, a person is a fool to store up earthly wealth but not have a rich relationship with God.” Luke 12:16-31 NLTThe right and lite way to live is to put God and others first!Self-RelianceSelf-Reliance = The idea that we did or can do anything on our own, without God!?What do you have that God hasn't given you?

Click here to try it out!Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review!In this episode, we venture into the deep, mysterious world of Top 5 Forests in Film, before tackling two very different but equally gripping movies—The Stronghold (Bac Nord) (2020), a tense French crime thriller, and Giant Jack, a fresh take on the classic fairy tale. Whether it's the lawless streets of Marseille or a land above the clouds, this episode has something for everyone.Top 5 Forests in FilmFangorn Forest – The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) The home of the Ents, Fangorn Forest plays a key role in the battle against Saruman. With its ancient, sentient trees, this woodland feels alive in every sense.The Forbidden Forest – Harry Potter Series (2001–2011) A magical (and dangerous) place filled with centaurs, giant spiders, and hidden secrets, making it one of the most memorable locations in the Harry Potter universe.Sherwood Forest – Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991) This legendary forest serves as the hideout for Robin Hood and his band of outlaws as they fight against oppression and tyranny.Aokigahara (The Suicide Forest) – The Forest (2016) Based on Japan's infamous real-life location, this eerie and unsettling forest is the setting for a chilling supernatural horror story.Pandora's Bioluminescent Forest – Avatar (2009) James Cameron's vision of an otherworldly jungle is breathtaking, filled with glowing flora and deeply connected to the Na'vi way of life.The Stronghold (Bac Nord) (2020)This intense French crime thriller, directed by Cédric Jimenez, delivers a raw and unfiltered look at law enforcement in the high-crime districts of Marseille.Based on true events, The Stronghold follows a trio of police officers—Greg (Gilles Lellouche), Yass (Karim Leklou), and Antoine (François Civil)—who operate in one of Marseille's most dangerous neighborhoods. Frustrated by the lack of resources and overwhelmed by the escalating violence, they resort to morally questionable methods to get the job done. However, their desperation leads them down a path that threatens to destroy their careers and their lives.The film explores the blurred line between justice and corruption, showing how the system can sometimes push good people into bad decisions. It's a thought-provoking look at the ethical dilemmas faced by those tasked with maintaining law and order.Giant Jack (2024) Created by Max Keane and produced by Netflix, Giant Jack is a heart-warming animated series about a boy and his best friend—a big, lovable garbage truck. Hank, a six-year-old with a big imagination, spends his days exploring the world with his best friend, Trash Truck. Whether it's helping out around town or going on fantastical adventures, their friendship fuels endless fun and learning experiences.The series encourages kids to find joy in the little things—whether it's playing outWe love to hear from our listeners!

We're so glad you are here! Thanks for checking out Sunday's message!-- SUNDAY'S NOTES --For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 ESV.It's hard to win a war, you don't realize you're fighting. Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. Ephesians 5:11 ESVWe have what we need to overcome the enemy in his efforts to deceive and defeat us! The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds. 2 Corinthians 10:4 ESVA place where the enemy holds the high ground for attack.You can't win the spiritual war for your life and destiny without taking out the strongholds.We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:5 ESVA spiritual stronghold is any thought, thought pattern, mindset, or belief that exalts itself against God and His truth.We are not wrestling against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12 NLTThere are real intellectual beings waring against Godly thoughts, designs and decisions.The Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared. I Timothy 4:1 ESVThe devil and his minions spend most of their time perverting culture and constructing strongholds.The enemy doesn't have the authority to build a stronghold in your life.Give not place to the devil. Eph 4:26 NKJVOpen doors lead to strongholds Kick your little sin friend out or he's going to build a stronghold!Put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires. Romans 13:14 ESV Your old life and new life are not compatible, they're combustable. Throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God truly righteous and holy. Ephesians 4:22-24 ESV Don't X-out the Jesus factor! The Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil. 1 John 3:8 NLTThe power for my breakthrough is not earthly, it's eternal!Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Ephesians 6:10 NKJVDon't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. Romans 12:2 NLTWhy can't Jesus wear jewelry? - Because He breaks every chain!It happens so regularly that it's predictable. The moment I decide to do good, sin is there to trip me up. I truly delight in God's commands, but it's pretty obvious that not all of me joins in that delight. Parts of me covertly rebel, and just when I least expect it, they take charge. I've tried everything and nothing helps. I'm at the end of my rope. Is there no one who can do anything for me? Isn't that the real question? The answer, thank God, is that Jesus Christ can and does. Romans 7:21-25 MSGNo hurt, history, or stronghold of the enemy can contain the believer who's faith and focus is in Jesus.-------------------------------------------------Download the 828 Church app!To view our latest e-newsletter, the Midweek Momentum, and subscribe to our weekly updates, go here! https://linktr.ee/828church

I Timothy 4:1 ESVThe devil and his minions spend most of their time perverting culture and constructing strongholds.The enemy doesn't have the authority to build a stronghold in your life.Give not place to the devil. Eph 4:26 NKJVOpen doors lead to strongholds Kick your little sin friend out or he's going to build a stronghold!Put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires. Romans 13:14 ESV Your old life and new life are not compatible, they're combustable. Throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God truly righteous and holy. Ephesians 4:22-24 ESV Don't X-out the Jesus factor! The Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil. 1 John 3:8 NLTThe power for my breakthrough is not earthly, it's eternal!Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Ephesians 6:10 NKJVDon't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. Romans 12:2 NLTWhy can't Jesus wear jewelry? - Because He breaks every chain!It happens so regularly that it's predictable. The moment I decide to do good, sin is there to trip me up. I truly delight in God's commands, but it's pretty obvious that not all of me joins in that delight. Parts of me covertly rebel, and just when I least expect it, they take charge. I've tried everything and nothing helps. I'm at the end of my rope. Is there no one who can do anything for me? Isn't that the real question? The answer, thank God, is that Jesus Christ can and does. Romans 7:21-25 MSGNo hurt, history, or stronghold of the enemy can contain the believer who's faith and focus is in Jesus.-------------------------------------------------Download the 828 Church app!To view our latest e-newsletter, the Midweek Momentum, and subscribe to our weekly updates, go here! https://linktr.ee/828church

On this week's show we look at a Ford Motor patent that has potential implications for home entertainment. We preview a potential Homepod 3 and we finish off with a listener review of DirecTV MySports. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news News: Bundle of Disney+, Hulu and Max Has a Strong Hold on Viewers NESN 360 slashing price by nearly $100 per year Roku Channel reveals MLB Sunday Leadoff schedule for 2025 Others: What Does Q Think? - YouTube Ford Seeks Patent For Multi-Vehicle Audio System Big tech companies like Apple file patents all the time. Some of these, like Apple's patent for an AirPods case with a built-in display, or the one for an iPhone that folds in half, could easily become products if Apple thinks they'll make money. But sometimes, these patents outline technologies that seem impossible, or at least unlikely. Full Story …  Apple HomePod 3: Everything We Know So Far (From Tom's Guide)  Apple is anticipated to launch the HomePod 3 later in 2025, marking a significant upgrade from its predecessors. Key rumored features include the introduction of a touchscreen, which could position it against competitors like Amazon and Google's smart displays.  Full article here… Rumored Release Date: Analysts speculate that the HomePod 3 could be unveiled in either spring or summer 2025. However, there are rumors of a possible delay to the third quarter, coinciding with Apple's WWDC. Potential Price: No official pricing information has been released, but the current HomePod 2 retails for $299. Given the competitive landscape, analysts speculate the HomePod 3 might be priced around $249, but if bundled with accessories, the total could elevate to $499 or more. Display and Design: The standout feature of the HomePod 3 is expected to be its 6 to 7-inch OLED display, which would function as a smart home control hub. The device is anticipated to be slightly smaller than an iPad mini and could include a FaceTime camera for video calls and possibly act as a home security camera. Additionally, the HomePod 3 may incorporate presence sensors for smart home automation and feature a new custom-made Bluetooth and Wi-Fi chip. Interface:The Apple HomePod 3 is primarily designed as a smart home hub, with an interface focused on controlling HomeKit devices, possibly resembling the Apple TV's layout based on recent code findings. Reports suggest a strong emphasis on security, enabling users to view live feeds from compatible security cameras and interact with visitors, though compatibility with HomeKit remains limited compared to competitors. While the HomePod 3 will prioritize smart home functionality over audio, users will still be able to manage playlists. Interaction will occur through both touch and Siri voice commands for tasks like setting timers and family communication, and the integration of Apple Intelligence will enhance its smart capabilities, the specifics of which are yet to be clarified. What We Want to See: For the HomePod 3, there are several desirable features that users would like to see, starting with a larger interface, as a 6-inch screen feels limited compared to similarly sized smart displays from Amazon that support a variety of streaming services. Users hope for an interface akin to the Echo Hub, which visually represents the layout of a home and displays smart devices in their respective rooms for easier interaction. Additionally, an ambient mode that showcases images from Apple Photos would allow the device to function as a digital photo frame when not in use for controlling smart home devices. If Apple Intelligence is a prominent feature, it is desired that users can create smart home routines effortlessly, such as setting commands to turn on lights and play music simultaneously upon unlocking the front door. Updates regarding the HomePod 3 will follow as more information arises. DirecTV MySports (A Listener Review) Listener Quincy of, What Does Q Think? - YouTube Channel, tried the five day trial of DirecTV's MySports and has written us a brief review.   I tried the 5-day trial of DTV's MySports and it's not bad, but not good enough for me to switch from YouTube TV.  Although I'm paying $84 for YTTV against the 3-month promo price of $50 for DTV, I still love the convenience of YTTV. I won't bore you with a long essay, but in a nutshell I'll list some of my pros/cons. MySports Pros:  The Sports Central section gives you nothing but sports-related material.   You can set your favorite teams and easily follow/record their games as well as hide the scores to avoid spoilers. You also get all of the DTV free streaming channels, so there are over 100 channels available at sign-up (from what I've heard. I didn't count).   You can get 3 months at $49.99/mo. before it goes to the regular price.  Last day for the promo is 2/28. Unlimited DVR will keep your programming for up to 9 months. Two free 4K sports channels. MySports Cons:  The two free 4K sports channels only offer a game or two per week.  Some of them require a subscription to another package. I was only offered two local stations (FOX and NBC), so I have to rely on other apps in order to get ABC and CBS programming.   The screen layout is not bad, but I still see a lot of non-sports stuff on the home page.  You have to go to the Sports Central section to get away from most of that. You can only do a Season Pass/Wishlist for teams in men's sports.  I tried to set a season pass for a women's college basketball team and a WNBA team and it forced me to record the entire league instead of just one specific team. It doesn't have Key Plays/Rapid Replay options to speed you through highlights to catch up to live TV for games. It would only allow me to fast-forward 15 seconds at a time instead of a continuous fast-forward other programs give you when you hold down the FF button. I just felt like I was stepping back into the past by switching to MySports, so I decided against it.  Hopefully, they'll improve and modernize their features a bit.  Although YouTube TV has its faults and a high price, as a sports fan, I love the Key Plays and the ease in finding any sports team or event and setting a season pass/wishlist. -Quincy Ridgeland, Mississippi
