The only hope for the Christian is to look away from oneself to rest in the enoughness of Jesus and his perfect sacrifice.

“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” (2 Corinthians 12:9–10 NIV11-GK)

Sufficient

19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, 23 but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!24 “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.25 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? 28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?' or ‘What shall we drink?' or ‘What shall we wear?' 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Sermon Questions:1. Who is your audience? Who do you feel like you perform for?2. What does that lead you to treasure/put your trust in?3.

This week, Pastor Mateo reminds us through 2 Corinthians 12 that Jesus is always sufficient—that our weakness isn't a flaw to fix, but a place where God's power shows up, transforms us, and proves that His grace truly is enough.

Sugar creates similar effects to cocaine and heroin in certain parts of the brain. In one study, if given a choice, a lab rat will go after sugar instead of cocaine! Sugar can alter your hormones and put you in a state of anxiety. It can even cause a mild form of dementia, leading to forgetfulness and memory loss. Sugar affects the hippocampus, which controls memory. The brain can run on glucose, but too much glucose can eventually hinder absorption. You only need one teaspoon of sugar in your blood at one time, but people consume much more than that!Excess sugar is stored as fat. Over time, high sugar consumption can lead to insulin resistance, depriving the brain cells of the energy they need. People often consume way more sugar than they know in beverages like juice or due to hidden sugar in the form of starch. A low-carb diet creates the most benefits for your health. It can reverse diabetes in 10 weeks! You're no longer feeding your brain glucose when you're on a low-carb diet. A low-carb diet forces the body to mobilize ketones to feed your brain. Once you quit sugar, you'll notice an improved mood, better concentration and attention, a better ability to learn, improved memory, and brain fog will be gone. Cutting carbs and quitting sugar will leave many people hungry, unsatisfied, and craving certain foods. The solution is to increase protein! Sufficient protein and fat can help eliminate cravings and decrease the desire to snack. There are also plenty of healthy substitutions that can make it easier to quit sugar.You do not need to consume sugar to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Your liver can create sugar from other food sources.

By Skip Miller - Isaiah 53, an Old Testament chapter, gives a complete and graphic summary of what Jesus went through willingly, lovingly, & completely for you & me.

We can never put God in our debt. It doesn't matter how fervently and consistently we do devotions, or how much money we give to the church, or how many good things we do in a week. We cannot make God obligated to us. Everything good we do came from him in the first place. Tune in this week to The Bible Study Hour to hear Dr. James Boice teach on God's self-sufficiency.

April 13th, 2025 | Jesus is...Enough | Philippians 3:2-11In week four of the Jesus Is series, Pastor Todd Kaunitz brings a compelling message from Philippians 3 with a simple but life-changing truth: Jesus is Enough.We've already seen that Jesus is God, He is Man, and He is Sufficient. But this week, Pastor Todd shows us that Jesus alone saves and satisfies the soul—there is nothing we need to add to Him for our salvation or fulfillment.Through Paul's bold letter to the Philippians, we're reminded to beware of false teachings that try to add religious works to the Gospel. With clarity and conviction, Pastor Todd unpacks Paul's personal testimony to reveal three powerful truths:Jesus is better than religionJesus offers a better righteousnessJesus is a better pursuitReligion can never measure up. Our works can't earn God's favor. But what Jesus offers—His righteousness, His power, His presence—is infinitely greater. This isn't about checking spiritual boxes. It's about knowing Jesus deeply, intimately, and passionately.Whether you're holding on to religion or just coasting in your walk with Christ, this message will challenge and inspire you to pursue Jesus with everything—because Jesus is enough.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

In this engaging episode, Brandon Spain, Lindsy Waters, and BT Wallace chat with pastor and author Anthony Delgado about his book, The Gospel is Bigger Than You Think. They delve into the deeper, broader meaning of the gospel, challenging oversimplified views and exploring themes of redemption, penal substitutionary atonement, and Christus Victor. Anthony shares his thoughts on the importance of seeing the gospel through a unified biblical lens, recounts personal experiences, and unpacks the role of storytelling in understanding salvation. They also discuss masculinity in faith and the church's role in embracing a holistic gospel that challenges and inspires.https://www.anthonydelgado.net/Amazon Author page: https://amzn.to/4fYePwThttps://unrefinedpodcast.comTimestamps:00:08 Division and unity in the gospel00:28 Introduction to the episode01:00 Topic overview: Simplicity of the gospel02:00 Guest introduction: Anthony Delgado03:00 Misconceptions about the gospel05:11 The "ticket to heaven" mentality07:35 Salvation: Past, present, and future10:15 Personal experience with legalism12:20 Balancing grace and obedience14:34 Accessibility of the gospel16:58 Approaching the gospel from different angles19:19 Biblical theology vs. modern propositions21:41 Gospel in counseling and real life24:05 Addressing theological differences26:26 Nominalism vs. active faith28:44 Mega church challenges and pragmatism31:06 Gospel response vs. gospel proclamation33:28 Lordship salvation and kingdom living35:52 Cultural and personal struggles with sin38:07 Practical redemption and restitution40:20 Penal substitutionary atonement explained42:37 Christus Victor and spiritual warfare45:02 Authority of Christ and nations' discipleship47:27 The role of blood in atonement52:18 Sufficient vs. superabundant sacrifice54:44 Restitution in theology and life59:16 The beauty of covenantal salvation01:01:36 Challenges of modern theology01:06:22 Responding to God with gratitude and action01:10:56 Masculinity and spiritual warfare01:18:16 Boldness in faith and martyrdom01:22:57 Restoring biblical masculinity01:30:05 Closing thoughts and next steps

Through Christ, we are fully forgiven, inwardly transformed, and eternally secure in God's grace.

1 Corinthians 10:1-1139 You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, 40 yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life. John 5:39-40Exodus: exit, way out, or departureGod will redeemGod will provide1.

What needs to change?What Does God Naturally Do?For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers,[a] that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, 2 and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, 3 and all ate the same spiritual food, 4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them, and the Rock was Christ.1 Corinthians 10:1-4The CloudThe SeaThe FoodThe DrinkThe Battle10 When Pharaoh drew near, the people of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them, and they feared greatly. And the people of Israel cried out to the Lord. 11 They said to Moses, “Is it because there are no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? What have you done to us in bringing us out of Egypt? 12 Is not this what we said to you in Egypt: ‘Leave us alone that we may serve the Egyptians'? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.”Exodus 14:10-12Red Sea Map Pic***21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the Lord drove the sea back by a strong east wind all night and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. 22 And the people of Israel went into the midst of the sea on dry ground, the waters being a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. Exodus 14:21-2211 And the Lord said to Moses, 12 “I have heard the grumbling of the people of Israel. Say to them, ‘At twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread. Then you shall know that I am the Lord your God.'” Exodus 16:11-12During the Yom Kippur war of 1973 the Egyptian army was unable to last more than three days in the desert, yet in Exodus 2.5 million people survived there for 40 years.David PawsonTaking care of life is not something God does, it is in His natureThey believed that God providing a way out is something He COULD do; not something HE DOES DO.32 “If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount. 35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. Luke 6:32-35For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers,[a] that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, 2 and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, 3 and all ate the same spiritual food, 4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them, and the Rock was Christ. 1 Corinthians 10:1-4What Do Humans Naturally Do?5 Nevertheless, with most of them God was not pleased, for they were overthrown[b] in the wilderness.6 Now these things took place as examples for us, that we might not desire evil as they did. 7 Do not be idolaters as some of them were; as it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play.” 8 We must not indulge in sexual immorality as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in a single day. 9 We must not put Christ[c] to the test, as some of them did and were destroyed by serpents, 10 nor grumble, as some of them did and were destroyed by the Destroyer. 1 Corinthians 10:1-4Murmur (gongyzō): to say anything against in a low tone; of those who confer secretly togetherIn general, you might say you'd submit to anything, but what if it's something specific that really challenges you? Then it's like, “Anything but that.” We usually think any situation is better than the one God has given us, and that's not true contentment.Jeremiah Burroughs13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.1 Corinthians 10:13What Needs To Change?25 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on.

Surgeries come with risks, which include death. Surgery can significantly lower your vitamin D, so if you have surgery and you're deficient, you could be putting yourself at risk.If you're low in vitamin D, your blood pressure can go up. Vitamin D is one of the best remedies for high blood pressure because it increases nitric oxide, which helps vasodilation in the arteries. Vitamin D supports your immune system, helps prevent infection, and reduces inflammation. It also helps reduce cardiovascular complications after surgery. Some people take 100,000 to 300,000 IU of vitamin D before surgery!If you don't have enough vitamin D, your muscles can weaken, which increases your risk of falling after surgery. Post-operative inflammatory indicators increase by 200% if you're low in vitamin D.Vitamin D can increase antimicrobial peptides by 4000%! This compound helps your immune system kill microbes and dramatically reduces the risk of postoperative infection.Sufficient vitamin D cuts the risk of surgical complications in half. One study found that half of atrial fibrillation was reduced with enough vitamin D. Vitamin D is especially important for open-heart surgery, thyroid removal, and cancer removal.Surgery puts significant stress on your adrenal glands. If you're low in vitamin D, cortisol can spike 4x after surgery, slowing healing and increasing inflammation. If you're low in vitamin D, you're 8 times more likely to have cognitive dysfunction after surgery. Vitamin D can reduce the risk of rejection during an organ transplant and is associated with fewer complications with ventilators after surgery.If you take vitamin D before surgery, you can expect shorter hospital stays and faster healing rates. If you only take high doses of vitamin D for 3 days before surgery, you don't need to worry about any toxic effects.
