Preparing His Bride | May 24, 2025 As a believer, you have been designed by God to live as an overcomer, not as a victim of circumstances. This overcoming life isn't optional—it's your spiritual DNA and divine calling. Understanding this truth will transform how you approach every challenge you face. Your journey involves conquering several distinct categories of opposition. First, you must overcome sins of the flesh—fornication, lying, stealing, strife, and immoral behavior. These obvious sins can disqualify you from God's kingdom if practiced habitually. But beyond these visible sins, you must also conquer sins of the heart: hatred, murmuring, and hidden resentments that you might camouflage from others but cannot hide from God. Perhaps most challenging is overcoming your personal disobedience to God's specific instructions for your life. These aren't grand biblical commandments, but daily, seemingly small directions from the Holy Spirit: visit someone, give financially to a specific person, spend extra time in prayer, or simply stay home and seek God. Your obedience to these "little" instructions determines whether you'll hear God's voice for bigger assignments. You must also overcome self—particularly vain glory, the desire for human approval and recognition. This subtle sin causes you to structure your actions around gaining applause from people rather than approval from God. Additionally, you're called to overcome trials and tribulations, whether they're daily irritations that test your patience or major persecution that comes because you follow Christ. Finally, you must overcome sickness and death in your physical body, and the snares of this world that would entangle you in ungodly systems and compromise. God hasn't left you defenseless in these battles. The moment you became born again, Christ took residence in your spirit, and the Holy Spirit became your guide. This means the overcoming nature is already within you—you possess the spiritual authority and power needed for victory. However, having this equipment and knowing how to use it are different matters. Your spiritual maturity requires intentional training, just as becoming a medical doctor requires years of study and practice. God wants to raise you from a spiritual child (technon) to a mature son (huios)—someone who can discern and do the Father's will. This training comes through daily disciplines that many believers resist or neglect. You must build yourself up through prayer in the Holy Spirit, allowing this supernatural language to strengthen your inner man. Study God's word not just for knowledge, but to understand His character, judgments, and ways. Learn to recognize His voice above the competing voices of your soul and the enemy. Most importantly, submit to the Spirit's leading in seemingly insignificant daily matters. When He prompts you to help someone, visit someone, or sacrifice something, your obedience in these small things trains your spiritual ear for larger assignments. Disobedience in minor areas will eventually cut off your ability to hear God's voice entirely. God needs mature believers who can be led by His Spirit to accomplish His work on earth. Many Christians never enter the first phase of their true ministry because they remain too busy for genuine fellowship with God, mistaking their own thoughts for His voice, or prioritizing their comfort over His training. Live each day expecting God to train you. When trials come, ask not "Why me?" but "What are you teaching me?" When you face daily irritations—difficult people, frustrating situations, inconvenient demands—see these as opportunities to demonstrate Christ's character. Submit your schedule, your finances, your relationships, and your ambitions to the Holy Spirit's direction. Don't argue with God or negotiate His instructions. Like Moses waiting on the mountain for God to appear, develop the patience to wait for divine timing rather than rushing ahead with your own plans. Remember that you overcome by the blood of Jesus Christ. This isn't just a spiritual concept—it's a practical weapon. Declare this victory over every area where you're being challenged, knowing that Christ's sacrifice has already secured your triumph. The overcoming life isn't achieved through human willpower but through intimate partnership with the Holy Spirit. Yield to His training, trust His process, and watch as He transforms you into the mature believer who can fulfill the assignment for which you were created. This is not just your calling—it's your inheritance. Step into it with confidence, knowing that the same Spirit who raised Christ from the dead dwells in you and will empower your complete victory.

In this episode of the Servants of Grace Theology Segment, Dave Jenkins answers a listener's question: “Why do cults use God falsely in their mission?”Cults often use religious language and biblical imagery to manipulate and control. They twist Scripture, exploit faith, and claim divine authority to lead others into deception. In this episode, Dave unpacks how these spiritual traps work — and how Christians can recognize them and respond with truth, wisdom, and discernment.Audio: Watch Video:What You'll Learn:How cults use religious language to gain trustWhy leaders invoke God's name to justify controlCommon tactics: isolation, fear, control, shameBiblical discernment to spot false teachingHow Christians can stand firm in truth and graceScripture References:Matthew 7:15–172 Timothy 4:3–4Galatians 1:6–9Acts 17:112 Timothy 3:16–171 Timothy 4:1Ephesians 6:10–18Subscribe & Follow:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/22CmXpzbz6JYjemSV0CMwt→ Listen and follow us on SpotifyApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/servants-of-grace/id1240932035→ Subscribe and leave a review on AppleYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/servantsofgrace→ Watch episodes and subscribe on YouTubeTheology Segment Archive: https://servantsofgrace.org/servants-of-grace-theology-segment/→ Explore more theology-focused content

Send us a textThe concept of the temple stands as one of Scripture's most powerful symbols, yet countless believers today have been misled about its true meaning. In this provocative and enlightening discussion, we strip away centuries of confusion surrounding temple prophecy to reveal what Jesus Himself declared: "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."While modern dispensationalism has Christians anxiously awaiting a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem, we explore the revolutionary truth that Jesus Christ is Himself the rebuilt temple that fulfills all Old Testament prophecies. More shocking still—you are part of that temple too. As living stones built on the foundation of apostles and prophets, believers constitute God's dwelling place on earth.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as we examine Daniel's seventy weeks prophecy, particularly the six elements that would mark its fulfillment: finishing transgression, ending sin, reconciliation for iniquity, bringing in everlasting righteousness, sealing vision and prophecy, and anointing the most holy. When viewed through Christ's completed work, these prophetic elements reveal something radically different than what many popular teachers claim.We also tackle the painful reality many sincere believers face: where do you go when churches themselves have fallen into confusion? One participant's journey from Catholicism to spiritual homelessness resonates deeply as we discuss the challenge of finding true biblical teaching in a landscape of denominational chaos.This conversation will challenge your preconceptions, strengthen your understanding of Scripture, and perhaps most importantly, fill you with renewed appreciation for Christ's declaration that something "greater than the temple is here." Study God's Word for yourself and discover the freedom that comes from embracing the true temple—Christ in you, the hope of glory.Support the show

In this Bible study on Joshua 2, we see that God can change anyone. You seldom, if ever, meet anyone named "Rahab." Yet she is in the hall of fame of the faithful in Hebrews 11. James also lauds her faith in action in James 2. She is a reminder that God's grace can cover every sinner, no matter their background or past.We hope that this study will encourage you and be a reminder that God's grace can wash away all of your past sins, no matter how bad they were.Joshua 2 Bible study -https://studyandobey.com/inductive-bible-study/joshua/joshua-2/Joshua Bible Studies With Discussion Questions - https://studyandobey.com/inductive-bible-study/joshua/Joshua Bible study guide on Amazon -https://amzn.to/3N0yBcLJoshua E-book Bible Study -https://studyandobey.com/product/study-joshua-ebook/Study and Obey's Bible study guides on Amazon -https://amzn.to/48SgPEN(As an Amazon associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.)Study and Obey Free Weekly Podcast on Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/study-and-obey/id1571266150Our website of 800+ practical and free Bible studies - https://studyandobey.comSupport this ministry -https://studyandobey.com/support/25+ Bible study guides for individual or group study on many different books of the Bible - https://studyandobey.com/shop/Support the show

Jesus Rejected at Nazareth | Luke 4:16–30 What a comfort to know that Jesus brings His gifts to you! In this message, we reflect on how Christ comes to us in our poverty, captivity, blindness, and oppression, offering the sanctity and beauty of life both now and forever. Though rejected in His hometown of Nazareth, Jesus continues to shine the light of His love upon us, forgiving us, washing us, feeding us, and giving us life. He comes to you in your struggles: When you've been chasing what doesn't last, He brings true treasure. When you're captive to sin, He sets you free. When you're blinded by worldly distractions, He opens your eyes. When you're oppressed by darkness, He declares a lifetime—an eternity—of the Lord's favor. Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing. Join us as we explore this powerful moment in Luke's Gospel and rejoice in the gifts Christ gives.

In this Bible study, we wrap up our three-part series looking at Israel's fall into Idolatry in Exodus 32 followed by a look at Moses' relationship with the Lord.  God tested Moses by offering to create a new nation through him (Ex 32.10), but Moses selflessly pleaded with the Lord and offered himself as an atonement for their sin (Ex 32.31-32).  In Exodus 33 and 34 we see a back-and-forth conversation between God and Moses which ends with God's renewing of the covenant promises started in Exodus 19.  We also see an amazing declaration of God's name and his character in Ex 34:6-7 which Dave spends a good deal of time discussing in this Bible study. Outline: 01:28 - Recap 05:16 - Exodus 34.1-4  07:44 - Exodus 34.5-7 - God's Glory and His name.  This is a declaration that is foundational to all Jewish and Christian theology.  Moses repeats these words in Numbers 14 (at Kadesh-Barna).  Num 14.18; Neh 9.9-21; Jona 4.1-4, Psa 86.15; Psa 103.6-18; Rom 2.1-6; 2 Pet 3.9; Rom 3.23; 1 Jhn 4.9-10; Rom 10.9-10; Rev 3.20 27:40 - Generational Sin 29:46 - Exodus 34.8-9 - Moses pleads again for his people 30:29 - Exodus 34.10-11 - God renews his covenant. 32:31 - Exodus 34.12-28 - God reminds them of specific (important) details of the covenant. 45:25 - Fasting - Moses fasted 40 days and 40 nights without bread or water.  Matt 6 Study on Matthew 6 (Fasting): https://youtu.be/mqqtXApiPVs?si=e1ZjMxKlhZi4-Tzd&t=1874 47:18 - Exodus 34.29-35 - Moses radiates the glory and love of the Lord.  Mat 17.1-13; Psa 34.5; 2 Cor 3.7-18 Wiersbe said it well, “when a child of God, looks into the Word of God and sees the Son of God, he (or she) is transformed by the Spirit of God into the image of God for the glory of God.” God renewed his promise and showed Moses a glimpse of His Glory.  God forgave the sins of the nation and Moses returned to the people with the stone tablets.   Support Iron Sheep Ministries: https://Ironsheep.org/donate Listen to the podcast: https://anchor.fm/ironsheep Contact Dave & the ISM team: info@ironsheep.org Be notified of each new teaching, join the email list: http://eepurl.com/g-2zAD Books/resources used or referenced: Dave reads from an NIV (New International Version) of the Bible.

There are moments in life when the assignment God gave you has come to an end. It's similar to when God instructed Elijah to go to the brook Cherith, where ravens would bring him meat, and he could drink from the brook. But eventually, the brook dried up, and it was time for him to move on and take a new direction. However, there are also times when we must remain steadfast in what God has instructed us to do and not drift away from the original instructions. If we stray too far from what God called us to do, we'll drift away from the anointing of success. God's anointing for your success lies in what He told you to do, not in what you decide to do on your own.

Have you ever wondered why God created us? Well, in today's study we dig into God's purpose for creating us. 

I have discovered through the Word of God that when we have a financial need, asking God for money is the wrong prayer. The reason is that God can only give us what He has. Money is a human creation, not a divine one. Therefore, we need to ask God for what He can give, which is wisdom that leads to making money.

God desires for you to live in total abundance, with nothing missing and nothing broken. Whatever you need or desire, God is big enough to take care of it—and He wants to take care of it. You might think your reality doesn't match this concept. Here's the thing: just because your current reality isn't abundant doesn't change God's desire for you to live in abundance. Listen to this message to increase your faith and walk in the total abundance God desires for you.

God's desire is for you to have provision upfront before you start your calling; however, while fulfilling your calling, you may experience periods of lack. When lack occurs, it's not the time to quit but a time to allow God to lead you through the financial lack and guide you to provision.

Today, we jump right into our devotion, "The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple." Psalm 19:7b You will well say, "Fred, a bold claim from a simple mind." You know, patient family, that I claim no part of high intellect, in fact, "O Lord, my heart is not proud, nor my eyes haughty; Nor do I involve myself in great matters, Or in things too difficult for me," Psalm 131:1 is a near motto of my limitations. Yet… Knowing and seriously considering the word of God does not make us an astronaut, Einstein, nor wise according to the flesh, but: "The wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy. 18 And the seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace." James 3:17-18 Oh, how we need that today. Facing my limitations, I can confidently say that the universe is not here by "mysterious forces, cosmic lightening, and luck," as I heard a brilliant guy once assert, but "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." Genesis 1:1 "For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God." Hebrews 3:4 Neither does it take a thousand postgraduate degrees to apprehend that 99 percent of our troubles stem from the fact that we are "untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful." Yet, those who call us small and despised, are bent on being those who cannot be trusted, loving or merciful. Our So What?

In this episode of Expositors Collective, recorded at the "Pizza and Preaching" night in Santa Maria, California, Mike Neglia gave an interactive talk about the essential practice of studying a Bible passage and crafting an effective sermon outline. Our discussion covers: Hermeneutics: Understanding the science and art of Biblical interpretation. Study Techniques: Discovering the meaning of a passage through repeated readings, thoughtful questioning, and contextual understanding. Contextual Familiarity: The importance of understanding the larger context before diving into specific verses. Application: How to thoughtfully apply the passage to your life and your congregation. Personal Reflection: Emphasizing the overlap between the preacher's life and their message. Expositional Preaching: The benefits of preaching through books of the Bible verse-by-verse. Creating an Outline: Organizing thoughts into a coherent outline and crafting a memorable thesis statement. "For Ezra had set his heart to study the Law of the Lord, and to do it and to teach his statutes and rules in Israel." Ezra 7:10  Key Points Discussed: 1. Hermeneutics and Initial Study:    - The importance of understanding the Bible's message through repeated encounters and contextual analysis.    - Tools for Bible study, including different translations and the sections before and after the passage. 2. Context and Application:    - Brooding over the passage to understand its relevance to the preacher, the culture, and the congregation.    - Internalizing the message through prayer and thoughtful reflection. 3. Communication of the Message:    - The goal of clear and effective communication, avoiding hidden messages or new interpretations.    - The role of commentaries and free online resources such as EnduringWord.com and BlueLetterBible.org. 4. Practical Preaching Tips:    - Personal engagement with the text and the concept of the "Hermeneutic of Obedience".    - Ensuring the message impacts the preacher's life as well as the congregation's. 5.

Unfortunately, in society the way you look (physical characteristics, weight, height, gender, race, etc.) can be an advantage if you have the look society deems attractive. If you don't have the look society desires, then that can be a disadvantage in climbing the ladder of success. However, none of that matters to God because God's blessing for your success is not based on societal biases.

I have been guilty of this many times. Here is the story: God gives me an idea. I start implementing it, and then I run into some challenges. At this point, I throw up my hands and say, “God is going to work it out.” However, it crashes and burns. Did God let me down? No. The problem is that “God is going to work it out” is not a strategy for success. God needs us to plan.
