In this first of many sermons in the books of 1 and 2 Peter, Pastor Andrew emphasizes the important theme of Peter's first letter: Take Heart! Because of the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, those who persevere in Him can have true hope amidst their own suffering and hardships, knowing that God's saving promises will be delivered both now and forever. This message also introduces the historical background of the Apostle Peter—his identity, relationship with Jesus, role in the early church, and legacy. This first message also highlights the foundational truths of 1 Peter 1:1–25, including the identity of believers as elect exiles, the new birth into a living hope, and the refining purpose of trials. These themes set the stage for the rest of the letter, emphasizing God's grace, the believer's secure future, and the reality of trials in a fallen world. ________________________________________ Links to Sermon Notes & Answers: ➤Sermon Notes (Blank): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_8ae84fa32c58492d9282875e9fd6f208.pdf ➤Sermon Notes (Answers): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_07b9fd2f0068439689b8f6967063b052.pdf ________________________________________ In this video: Review of previous sermons in series Main Points Application ________________________________________ Subscribe to this channel to catch weekly expositional sermons from the Bible. ________________________________________ Explore more sermons and information: https://www.sheridanhills.org/watch-new ________________________________________ Follow us: ➤Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sheridanhills/ ➤Twitter: https://twitter.com/sheridanhills01 ➤Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sheridanhills/

Sunday, June 1, 2025 GCR & Take Heart – Moses Masitha www.LaurelBibleChapel.com
Jesus gives words to the disciples to bring them peace. Because there are times coming where there will not be peace in the world for them. There will be trials, tribulations, trouble. Amidst of all that, the disciples are told to take heart, because Christ has overcome the world. Maybe the same words can be applied to us as we go through trials, tribulations, trouble in our own lives.

Paul is finally on his way to Rome and it is quite a journey! And there are lessons to learn around every twist and turn. When we finally give up hope and have exhausted every human effort, we are in the perfect place to hear from God.

講題 : Take Heart!(4):較正你的心 經文 : 創 32
Even faithful followers of Jesus can face fear and doubt. In this week's message, Pastor J.M. Lee walks us through Matthew 14:22–33, where we find Jesus sending His disciples into a storm — and then meeting them there with power and compassion. When Peter begins to sink, Jesus doesn't scold him — He saves him. Because it's not the size of our faith that matters — it's the strength of our Savior. Take heart: I AM is with you.Mission Church www.missionlasvegas.com
As we enter a new series this week, we're going to consider what it means to slow down a bit, to Godspeed. In our zeal for the Kingdom, we often run ahead of the gentle pace of Jesus, or else, we resign to sit the bench and pout. But life with Jesus is a lot like taking a walk with a child. It's taking the scenic route, with a lot of maddening side quests to consider the lilies. When I was first beginning in full time ministry, I found myself partnered with a very charismatic and thoughtful pastor who was in charge of our young adults' ministry. He was thirty, so I of course supposed that he was in the very prime of his wisdom: he was experienced and educated but still knew all the cool music. Youthful naiveté aside, it truly was a great gift for me to have access to him and I took advantage of every opportunity to annoy him with all the robust curiosity and angst of my 24-year-old self. If you think I'm an idealist now, you should have met that kid. I was constantly feeling frustrated by the immense gap between the vision I was convinced the Bible had for gospel-centered church life and the realities of parish ministry in the suburban south. Probably the greatest gift Robbyn gave me was to insist on a distinction that I still live by today. He told me I had to figure out how to lower my expectations while maintaining and even increasing my longings. This, he knew, would do three things: lowering expectations would keep me from discouragement; increased longing would keep me hopeful for the future, and the internal tension of that widening gap would keep me on my knees. - jsP.S. This Sunday, Aida from Take Heart will be with us. She will give a brief update during the worship service but will also be sharing about their ministry to persecuted Christians during the Sunday School hour in the Youth Room. Everyone is invited!

This week, Pastor Steve Spence talks about the condition of one's heart. He teaches us that we are to guard our hearts from the tribulations of the world as they will be a constant in our lives. We are responsible for the conditon of our heart and when we let worldly issues consume it God becomes less and less in our lives. Join us every week on Sundays at 8:30 and 10:30am, and Wednesday's at 7:00pm!

"I suggest to you that it is because God loves us that he gives us the gift of suffering. Pain is God's megaphone to rouse a deaf world. You see, we are like blocks of stone out of which the Sculptor carves the forms of men. The blows of his chisel, which hurt us so much are what make us perfect."C.S. Lewis' thoughts on the purpose of suffering are incredibly true, and still, naturally, we want to avoid suffering at all costs, because, well, it hurts!Today on Rinse and Repeat we begin a new series on the topic of suffering, and today's message explores 2 Corinthians 4:16Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. Join me today as we TAKE HEART even in dark hours of suffering, and begin to see God's purpose in pain.(RAR2025EP12)

Hello to you listening here, there and everywhere!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.My dear friend, colleague, and fellow podcaster Charlene Norman, the voice behind The 5Cs podcast sent me a post on LinkedIn written by Terry Szuplat (Obama speechwriter 2009-17) and founder Global Voices Communications.Mr. Szuplat's essay, Take Heart - We Will Endure, calls to be shared because we are down in the trenches and welcoming any sign of how to keep our good selves going. This is what he wrote:"To our friends around the world asking, “What's going on?” Well… 77 million Americans voted for Trump. 78 million voted for other candidates…So, no, it was not a “landslide.”It was another close election in a very divided country.How are we doing, you ask?Yes, we're disheartened.Like you, we are deeply, deeply concerned about what we're witnessing every day.Good, innocent people are being hurt -- across the United States and around the world.There's a lot of anxiety and fear, especially about what comes next.But we want you to know -- we're still here.The majority of Americans did not vote for this.A majority of Americans, according to the latest polls, do not approve of this.We know we are not alone.We are not powerless.And we're not going anywhere.Yes, Trump won the most votes. He won the election. He has a right to pursue his policies.But we are still a nation of laws, and he does not have a right to violate them.So we'll keep standing up for the country we believe in.For rights enshrined in our Constitution.For the rule of law.For justice.For treating one another with empathy and compassion.For a country where power comes from the people, not a king.It may not always make the headlines, but know that we're standing up.We're standing up in town halls in our communities.We're standing up in the streets.We're standing up in Congress.We're standing up in the courts.We're standing up in our neighborhoods, schools, companies, libraries, and our organizations.We're standing up here online—connecting with, empowering, and inspiring each other and lifting up the stories and voices of Americans who are courageously speaking out.We're under no illusions.This is not a time for blind faith or wishful thinking. It's not to say that everything will be OK.It won't, especially for vulnerable people.We're only a few weeks in. This will get worse before it gets better.As we stand up, sometimes we'll win. Sometimes we'll lose. We may not be able to stop the worst abuses.But we promise you — we're not giving up.We'll do everything we can everywhere we can every day we can to preserve this country that we love.As a nation, as a people, we've been through challenging times before -- horrors and hardships that have tested whether this great American experiment could survive.Slavery.A civil war.Segregation.A Great Depression.Social unrest.Mass movements for justice and equality.And now, as then, we draw strength from each other and what we know in our hearts:We shall overcome.We will endure.Because when it comes to standing up for the country and values we believe in, we're still guided by those words of long ago:“Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never.”Though hard to see right now, the America you know is still here, and — after the storm — we'll still be standing." 2024 election results: https://lnkd.in/eNVkcXdBWritten by Terry Szuplat, Obama speechwriter (2009-17) | Bestselling author of SAY IT WELL: Find Your Voice, Speak Your Mind, Inspire Any Audience | Keynote Speaker | Adjunct Professor, American University | Global Voices CommunicationsYou're invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a nice shout out on your social media or podcast channel of choice, (including Android, Amazon Music, Audible & Pandora Radio) and join us next time!
