Jesus is the Cornerstone, the Head of the Corner, the Stumbling Block, and the Living Stone

Welcome to Day 2662 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2662 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 73:1-12 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2662 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2662 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Today's Wisdom Nugget is titled: The Stumbling Block of Prosperity - A Trek Through Psalm 73:1-12 Guthrie Chamberlain: Welcome to Wisdom-Trek, your compass for navigating the profound landscapes of faith and life. I'm your guide, Guthrie Chamberlain, and Today, we begin a deeply honest and challenging trek through Psalm 73 in the New Living Translation, starting with its opening verses, 1 through 12. Psalm 73 is penned by Asaph, one of the chief musicians and seers appointed by King David. Unlike many psalms that begin with an immediate cry for help or a declaration of praise, Psalm 73 opens with a profound struggle, a crisis of faith that many of us can intimately relate to. Asaph grapples with one of life's most perplexing mysteries: why do the wicked often prosper, seemingly enjoying an easy life, while the righteous suffer? This question has troubled believers in every generation. In the ancient Israelite worldview, there was a strong emphasis on divine justice being dispensed in this life. Obedience to God was expected to bring blessing and prosperity, while wickedness would lead to suffering and misfortune. So, when a faithful servant like Asaph observed the opposite – the ungodly thriving without apparent consequence – it created a serious spiritual dilemma, shaking the very foundations of his faith. Let's immerse ourselves in Asaph's raw honesty as he confronts this agonizing truth and nearly loses his footing on the path of faith. (Reads Psalm 73:1-3 NLT) Truly God is good to Israel— to those whose hearts are pure. But as for me, I almost slipped; my feet were nearly gone. For I envied the proud when I saw them prosper despite their wickedness. Guthrie Chamberlain: Asaph begins with a declaration that is simultaneously an affirmation and a struggle: “Truly God is good to Israel—to those whose hearts are pure.” On the surface, this sounds like a statement of unwavering faith. It's a theological truth, a bedrock conviction for an Israelite. God is inherently good, and His goodness is particularly directed towards His covenant people, especially those whose hearts are “pure” or upright. This purity isn't sinless perfection, but sincere devotion and integrity of intention towards God. However, the “But as for me” immediately introduces a stark contrast, revealing Asaph's personal crisis: “But as for me, I almost slipped; my feet were nearly gone.” This is powerful imagery. Imagine walking on a treacherous path, perhaps a slippery incline or a narrow ledge. One false step, one moment of distraction, and you could fall completely, losing all your progress, perhaps even your life. Asaph's faith was...

We are instructed to not make another stumble. We are free in Christ, but we should not use our freedom to make other believers in Christ to misstep in their walk with the Lord.

We are back with another episode in our Unschooling Stumbling Blocks series and this time, we're talking about the stories we tell ourselves. Stories is a topic that comes up a lot in conversations on the Living Joyfully Network. In fact, we had a monthly theme by that name! When we start to get curious […]

In 1st Corinthians 8 Pauls says, "Knowledge puffs up, love builds up."  Sometimes we use knowledge to destroy and humiliate others by elevating ourselves as wiser, higher and better than others.   Yet, as Paul says, "Those who think they know something do not yet know as they ought to know."  

Is Jesus the foundation you're building your life on—or the stone you're tripping over? This week, Pastor Ken dives into Matthew 21 and confronts the ultimate question: What are you building your life on? When Jesus was questioned about His authority, He didn't back down. He told the truth boldly, revealing that He is the Cornerstone—and all who reject Him will fall.

Brother Singh asks a sobering question: "When I preach, do you fall asleep spiritually?" Like Paul, he asks, "Because I tell you the truth, am I your enemy?" Too many of us live in a spiritual fantasy world. Others, like the elders in Israel, carry their own stumbling blocks. "The word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their hearts and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?" (Ezekiel 14:2-3).

We are back with another episode in our Unschooling Stumbling Blocks series and this time, we're talking about how it's not the unschooling! It can be really common for newer unschoolers to blame unschooling for the things that come up in their family lives. Unschooling was a big new change in their lives, and so […]

Sunday, March 2, 2025 – Today’s message continues our study of 1 John and is titled “Light Reveals Love.” The Apostle John, known as the Apostle of Love, had a different disposition in his younger years. He and his brother James were nicknamed the “Sons of Thunder” by Jesus due to their hot-tempered and impulsive nature. However, after years of reflecting on Jesus' teachings and experiencing both physical and spiritual maturity, he recognizes that Love is the better way to navigate life. Love is the central theme of today’s message. How we love others is a significant indicator of whether we are genuine followers of Jesus. We live in a world of spiritual darkness; John tells us that we know we are true followers of Christ if we walk in the light and love our fellow brothers and sisters as Christ does. A clear sign of our love is how far we are willing to limit our spiritual liberties to avoid becoming a stumbling block or, in other words, a negative influence in someone else’s life. Scripture warns strongly against those who would cause a weaker or younger believer to stumble and fall away from God's grace. Our Christian liberties come with serious responsibilities and consequences if we live carelessly. Worship and study with us as we are encouraged and challenged in our exploration.

Life isn't about what happens to you—it's about how you respond. In this episode of Personal Mastery Training, we explore how changing your mindset can completely transform your reality. Whether you're facing setbacks, self-doubt, or unexpected roadblocks, you have the power to rewrite the narrative. It's time to stop seeing obstacles as barriers and start using them as fuel for growth. Key Highlights: Use Past Experience as a Learning Tool Every failure, misstep, or tough moment is a lesson in disguise. Instead of dwelling on mistakes, ask: What can I learn? How can I grow from this? The most successful people use past struggles as stepping stones to future success. Being Strong is the Only Choice Challenges are inevitable, but your response is within your control. Strength isn't about avoiding struggles—it's about facing them head-on. When you realize that resilience is non-negotiable, you stop wasting energy on fear and start taking action. Stumbling Block or Stepping Stone? The same obstacle can either hold you back or push you forward. Your perspective determines your path. Instead of asking, Why is this happening to me?—ask, How can I use this to my advantage? Flip the Script and Rewrite Your Story You are not defined by your past or your current circumstances. Small mindset shifts can create massive changes in your confidence and success. Start seeing yourself as the hero of your journey—not the victim of your situation.   Your life is a story, and you hold the pen. Every challenge, setback, or tough moment is just a chapter—not the entire book. Flip the script, take control, and create a life that aligns with your highest potential.  

The 3 Big Questions We're Answering: 1. How can the CrossFit Open serve as a tool for assessing overall fitness in a way that is both enjoyable and beneficial for non-competitive athletes? 2. What are effective benchmarks and alternative methods for measuring fitness that prioritize long-term health and performance? 3. How do we balance the pursuit of fitness goals with the need to listen to our bodies and modify workouts to prevent injury and promote longevity? 

In Matthew 16:21-26, Jesus shifts the focus of His ministry, revealing to His disciples that He must suffer, die, and be resurrected. Jesus then calls His followers to take up their cross and deny themselves to truly follow Him. This is an invitation for any follower of Jesus into a radical way of life—one that disrupts comfort and security. To follow Christ means to embrace the path of self-sacrifice and choose difficult obedience. The way of the cross isn't easy, but it's the way of transformation, love, and eternal life.

Welcome to the Daily Disciple Podcast. As daily disciples, we seek to adore and follow Jesus our teacher into the abundant life that he offers. Because we find Jesus to be irresistible and fascinating and incredibly practical, we want to be students of his teaching found in scripture. Today's episode is found in Matthew 16 "Stumbling Block".

Commercialism and materialism are gods of our age. People earn and hoard all they can get. There is one choice we can make to break greed's grip. Those who make that choice are set free to pursue God and his plan with their whole heart. This choice is nothing short of a game changer.

What does money oer you? Is it status or value? happiness, security, or power? Whatever it is that you're longing for, do you feel like it would be in your reach if only you had a little more money? Another word for that is greed. And greed is a terrible master, it enslaves and it destroys. Come and learn with us how to have victory over this unfair master.
