Tuesday Bible Studies - All sufficiency and supremacy of God

As trusted advisers to affluent clients for 25 years this year, our wealth management philosophy of making ikigai decisions before money decisions is grounded in real-world experience managing more than S$1.7 billion of our clients' hard-earned assets.In this week's Money Wisdom episode, we continue our 'The Brain Behind' series, where our new co-host and Associate Adviser, Sudhan, speaks with our CEO, Christopher, about his latest Business Times article, 'Thriving in a Messy World: Why the Philosophy of Sufficiency Matters More Than Ever.'In this conversation, Christopher explains why the Philosophy of Sufficiency is even more relevant in today's world of constant comparison and noise. They discuss conventional definitions of success, from the old “5Cs” mindset to modern ideas of wealth accumulation and defining success on one's own terms.In an uncertain world, this conversation challenges how we think about sufficiency, contentment, ambition, and what truly matters in wealth planning, including the quiet balance between chasing maximum returns and sleeping peacefully at night.To gain more perspective on today's conversation, you may begin by reading Christopher's Business Times article here: https://providend.com/thriving-in-a-messy-world-philosophy-of-sufficiency/If you would like an honest second opinion on your current investment portfolio and wealth plan, make an appointment with us today.

n this episode, Nick Bullock, senior pastor of Christ Church (PCA) in New Braunfels, Texas, joins Camden Bucey and Jim Cassidy to discuss an upcoming conference themed "Thy Word is Truth" (February 27–March 1, 2026) and, more importantly, why a sturdy doctrine of Scripture is not a luxury but a necessity for the church. They explore how Scripture's authority undergirds every other theological conversation, shaping how Christians understand God, worship him, and resist the many counterfeit "voices" that compete for allegiance. The conversation also highlights a timely pastoral burden: weak views of Scripture often leave believers vulnerable—whether to "me-and-my-Bible" isolation (confusing sola with solo), or to the perceived stability of traditions that promise rootedness without delivering true unity. By reconnecting the doctrine of Scripture to the doctrine of God—his truthfulness, immutability, and steadfast love—the episode invites listeners to hear again the shepherd's voice in God's word and to respond with reverent, regulated, Christ-centered worship.

THE BELGIC CONFESSION (AD 1561) - ARTICLE VII - THE SUFFICIENCY OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES TO BE THE ONLY RULE OF FAITH We believe that those Holy Scriptures fully contain the will of God, and that whatsoever man ought to believe unto salvation is sufficiently taught therein. For since the whole manner of worship which God requires of us is written in them at large, it is unlawful for any one, though an apostle, to teach otherwise than we are now taught in the Holy Scriptures: "nay, though it were an angel from heaven," as the apostle Paul says. For since it is forbidden to "add unto or take away anything from the Word of God," it does thereby evidently appear that the doctrine thereof is most perfect and complete in all respects. Neither may we consider any writings of men, however holy these men may have been, of equal value with those divine Scriptures, nor ought we to consider custom, or the great multitude, or antiquity, or succession of time and persons, or councils, decree or statutes, as of equal value with the truth of God, since the truth is above all: "for all men are of themselves liars, and more vain than vanity itself." Therefore, we reject with all our hearts whatsoever does not agree with this infallible rule, as the apostles have taught us, saying, "Prove the spirits, whether they are of God." Likewise: "If any one cometh to you, and bringeth not this teaching, receive him not into your house." SCRIPTURE REFERENCES: Galatians 1:8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. Deuteronomy 12:32 Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor tak

At our Holy Communion Service themed Communion for God's Sufficiency, Pastor Femi Paul delivered a timely and liberating word titled Do Not Dwell on the Past. We were reminded that God's redemptive plan is not to keep His people trapped in yesterday's losses, but to move them forward into divine restoration. Anchored on Isaiah 43, the message was clear that God is doing a new thing and opening premium doors of opportunity that will more than compensate for whatever was lost, damaged, broken, or destroyed. Communion became a moment of reassurance that God's sufficiency covers our past, present, and future. The teaching emphasised that while the past may contain lost, missed, wasted, or squandered opportunities, it must never be used as a measure for what God is arranging in 2026. Premium opportunities are game changer moments designed to rewrite stories and shift outcomes in the most important areas of our lives. The instruction was simple but powerful: learn from the past, release it, and move forward in faith. This year, God is calling His people to stop looking back and to step boldly into the greater doors He has prepared. Confession: Father, I release my past into Your hands. I receive premium opportunities in 2026 that restore, renew, and reposition my life. I move forward in faith, confident that You are doing a new thing, in Jesus name. Amen.

Would you like to be more in control of your energy? Do you want to experience a deeper state of "flow"? Lisa continues the conversation today with guest Christy Whitman, two-time New York Times bestselling author and transformational leader for the past 25 years. Christy teaches how to manifest and create your dream life, through the deliberate application of the Universal Laws. Her latest book is "The Flow Factor: How To Master Your Energy and Enter A State of Flow." She discusses the idea of "flow" and how to utilize daily practices to maintain that state. She talks about conscious and unconscious patterns and how we attract things into our lives. If we shine our light brighter, we can increase our "flow." Christy explains how when we go into judgement, we automatically go into negativity and lack. If you get into a negative place through criticism, you can get out by feeling compassion and light. Even giving ourselves a hug for 90 seconds can help to regulate our nervous system. We can tell ourselves that we are safe and that things will improve. We can choose how we feel. We can choose the words we tell ourselves. This can affect our limbic system. If we go into negativity, it can become a whirlwind, but Christy shares an exercise to offer relief and release. Christy invites us to explore the Universal Laws, including the Law of Attraction. She also discusses the healing "Council of Light" which she learned to channel several years ago. She works with Light and Energy to help others to increase their frequency. She talks about the choices we make and the importance of processing our emotions, so we do not stay in a place of worry, fear, or frustration. She reminds us again to bring in self-compassion as a way to shift our state and get back into flow. We will then be in a better position to bring in a solution. We need to come into a space of neutrality. From there we can get into abundance and flow. She also talks about the Law of Sufficiency and how it relates to the Law of Attraction and Abundance, as well as the importance of the words we speak.  This is Part 2 of the interview.

This evening's GO Conference speaker is Dr. Jeremy Kimble, Professor of Systemic and Applied Theology at Cedarville University. Dr. Kimble takes us to a number of passages in 2 Corinthians, and teaches that God meets us in our weakness to strengthen us to live on mission for Him.

Is trauma-informed counseling biblical—or is it undermining the sufficiency of Scripture?In this episode of Remnant Radio, we take a careful, biblical look at trauma-informed care, responding to recent critiques from pastors, biblical counselors, and theologians who argue that trauma-informed counseling is harming the church. Some claim that if Christians would simply repent, trust Jesus, and obey Scripture, trauma-informed approaches would be unnecessary—or even dangerous.So how should Christians think about trauma, trauma-informed counseling, and trauma-informed therapy?In Part One of this two-part discussion, we begin by defining trauma and trauma-informed care, ensuring we are speaking clearly and accurately. We then distinguish between trauma-informed pastoral counseling and trauma-informed therapy, including approaches such as EMDR, somatic experiencing, internal family systems, and polyvagal-informed therapy.We examine whether trauma-informed counseling is supported by Scripture by turning to the Book of Job, one of the Bible's most extensive treatments of suffering, trauma, and pastoral response. Job's condemnation of his friends as “miserable comforters” provides a sobering warning against theologically misinformed counsel that intensifies suffering rather than alleviating it.This episode also addresses key theological concerns, including:-The sufficiency of Scripture for salvation and sanctification-The doctrine of common grace and its relationship to medicine, psychology, and therapy-Whether trauma-informed care excuses sin or undermines repentance-How physiological trauma responses differ from sinful anxiety-Whether modern psychology should ever be subordinate to biblical authorityPart Two will move into practical application, offering a biblical framework for trauma-informed care that upholds Scripture, guards against theological compromise, and equips pastors, counselors, and Christians to care well for those who have suffered trauma.

The Sufficiency of Scripture. 2 Timothy 3:14-17. Lead Pastor Michael Clary

2 Corinthians 3:4-6 December 28, 2025 SS.Paul was confident about the Corinthian's recommendation-letter-status because Jesus Christ gave him that confidence. And he had good reason: he gave them the genuine gospel message, the church was started, and he could see God was doing a work there. So he continued in faith with confidence that the work of the gospel was having an impact. The source of his ministry sufficiency was God, who gave him authority to preach the gospel and enabled him to be effective in that ministry. This is all the more remarkable to Paul because of the nature of his message, a message that is connected to the new covenant.

This week's replay, one of the most popular episodes of 2025, features a profound conversation between Barry Barkan, visionary eldercare advocate and Pioneer Network co-founder, and AgingIN CEO Susan Ryan. These longtime friends discuss reimagining aging and the transformative potential of community, spirit, and consciousness. Barkan shares his journey from founding the Live Oak Institute to helping launch the Pioneer Network, driven by a belief that aging is not a problem to solve but a gift to elevate. He recounts his efforts to create a regenerative, inclusive community at the Jewish Home in Oakland—an idea that initially faced rejection but ultimately gained momentum and global influence, including a successful expansion into 15 homes in Israel. But this conversation goes beyond history. Barkan offers a deeply reflective vision for a paradigm shift—a movement from a worldview rooted in domination and separation to one grounded in interconnection, kindness, and sufficiency. He challenges listeners to see humanity as one living being, where every person and every creature matters. Together, Ryan and Barkan explore the concept of "Elder Awesome" and moving beyond traditional notions of "elder care." They also discuss the "Tao of Blessings"—a personal path to leave grace in every encounter Barkan offers his vision for communities and care environments rooted in equity, dignity, and accountability.

Prosperity doesn't have to be loud. At some point in a woman's life, success stops feeling like "more"  and starts to manifest as peace in the body.   In this solo episode, I explore why true prosperity doesn't come from striving, but from sufficiency, safety, and embodied self-expression.   Not either happiness or money, but both, supported by sustainability.   In this episode, I invite you to ask: • What does success mean when it is allowed to feel secure in the body? • Where am I still struggling internally instead of receiving? •    What becomes possible when sufficiency becomes the basis of my actions?  

Pastor Kurt takes a deep dive into Colossians 2:16-23 revealing how man-made religion looks spiritual but lacks the power to change the heart. In this passage, Paul urges believers to release themselves from religion and its empty rules, and instead root themselves in Christ, the only One who can truly transform their lives.

When I started my business, what I craved more than anything was the freedom to be the real me, the freedom to express myself and the freedom to grow. In this episode, I'm sharing my thoughts on freedom as an entrepreneur as well as what business looks like now as a mum of 4 kids under 5, making a full-time income on part-time hours and feeling safe to show up as myself in every part of my work. I talk about leaving my accounting job with no proof things would work, the quiet self-belief that kept me going and the kind of courage it takes to back yourself before you have results. If you've ever felt the pull to have a business where you can be the real you, this episode will help you reconnect with what you're really building for.

Message from Jon Shea on November 23, 2025

In this episode, Paul challenges the traditional approach to planning for the new year, urging listeners to stop setting goals and start setting aims. He explains that most people design their lives backward, focusing on career first and hoping life fits around it. Instead, Paul walks through a practical reframe: define the life you want, then determine the financial aims required to support that life, and only then plan your career or business strategy. He introduces the concept of "sufficiency" versus "surplus" lifestyles and explains why identifying both is essential to long-term freedom. Paul also explores the 13 Permanent Domains of Human Concern, encouraging listeners to anchor their planning in areas like health, family, and relationships rather than money. Through examples and clear steps, he shows how aiming allows for continual adjustment, new information, and a healthier relationship with progress. Ultimately, he invites listeners to design a future they can intentionally pursue, with clarity rather than pressure. -- Timestamps: 00:42 – The problem with traditional goal-setting 01:30 – How careers trap people into backward planning 02:13 – Start with life design, not income targets 03:00 – Sufficiency vs. surplus lifestyles 04:30 – Introducing the 13 Permanent Domains 06:36 – Turning lifestyle aims into financial aims 08:40 – Why aims beat goals (and how to use them) --   This Material is Intended for General Public Use.

Cessationism vs. Continuationism: Which side is right? Are spiritual gifts really a thing of the past? We're continuing our review and response to cessationist arguments that the spiritual gifts have ceased. We're tackling Pastor Tom Pennington's claims from G3 Ministries, exposing flaws in the logic of his arguments and championing the ongoing reality of spiritual gifts by examining Scripture. In this episode we'll address his arguments about the spiritual gifts in church history, the sufficiency of Scripture, and New Testament rules for spiritual gifts.If you missed part 1 of our review, you can watch that episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCCSiTMkHAY0:00 – Introduction1:38 – Recent Testimonies of Prophecy and Healing5:25 – Episode Overview: Pennington's Arguments 5-77:15 – Argument 5: Testimony of Church History10:59 – Refuting Hebrews 2 and NT Mentions25:15 – Early Church Fathers on Continuing Gifts37:09 – Argument 6: Sufficiency of Scripture44:38 – Responding to Heresies and Sufficiency45:14 – Argument 7: NT Rules for Miraculous Gifts51:14 – Closing Thoughts Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.
