1 Timothy 6:17-19, part 2 "Take Hold of What is Truly Life," Blake Johnson | 1 Timothy by Evangelical Fellowship Church

Ps Andy carries on his series about Abraham's Classroom, this week looking at How to take hold of something by faith. He recaps last week - Abraham and Sarah stepping out in faith on a promise from God. If we are to take a faith Journey with God, its must start with a promise. Every time Abraham had a breakthrough, every time he met with God on the journey, he would take time to stop and worship, build an altar. Last week we crossed into Genesis 13 and we saw how Abraham separated from Lot & leant how we need to be ready to leave something old natural, in order to take on something new.How to take hold of something by faith? We have the promise, we are stepping out, we have a word for the situation but we are not yet holding the outcome. Ps Andy looks at how Abraham conducted himself here in his journey after being told he would be Father of many nations yet had no son. He made mistakes (Ishmael) and more. Ps Andy walks us through this story looking at how we can be frustrated at waiting for fulfilment of God's promises yet the last thing God needs is for us to step in and "help Him". God is Almighty, he needs no help from us! When God gives a promise, the Fulfilment of that promise is on Him, not on us. We need to walk in alignment with the promise but the fulfilling of the promise is based on Him which means He puts His character and His name on the line. We settle back not in apathy, but in simple Faith saying God I don't know how or when but if you promised I know you will. When we have a promise from God, we need to be speaking in alignment with that promise.This is an action packed message, Ps Andy concludes explaining the situation about Abraham and Isaac, where God appears to test Abraham by asking him to sacrifice Isaac after he had waited many years to get him. When God said, take the promised child, go to the region where Jesus was also crucified, sacrifice him as a burnt offering, it was a massive challenge of faith. When God gives something he promised then steps into our world saying can you trust me, we see the maturity of Abraham's faith. In Hebrews 11, Abraham takes Isaac, ready to sacrifice, but knows God will intervene. Abraham reasoned he would receive Isaac back from the dead. Abraham holds a child knowing he's in covenant with God. So God speaks to him telling him to offer his son just as Jesus would die many years later and rise. Abraham does not know God's plan here but does know his son will live. He was releasing God to do something that would save us. This is an amazing and challenging message!

Before Operation: Mindcrime, there was this.Queensrÿche's 1984 debut The Warning is the album that almost didn't happen—at least not the way the band intended. While they were touring Japan, EMI executives remixed and completely rearranged their progressive metal masterpiece without permission, burying the band's weirdest, most ambitious material deeper in the tracklist. But even with corporate interference, The Warning stands as a pivotal moment in metal history: a Seattle band crafting something that sounded like nothing else in 1984, blending Iron Maiden gallops with Genesis-level prog complexity and Jeff Tate's otherworldly operatic vocals.In this episode, we break down why this debut matters—not just as a stepping stone to Mindcrime and Empire, but as a document of a band discovering their identity in real time. We debate whether it's a hidden gem or a rough draft, explore the label drama that reshaped the album's sequence, and dive into the tracks that reveal Queensrÿche's DNA: from the Maiden-esque power of “Deliverance” to the robotic sci-fi weirdness of “NM 156.” This is Double-A ball before the majors—you can see the talent, hear the potential, and witness five musicians isolated in Seattle creating something that would change progressive metal forever.If you love Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Fates Warning, or Dream Theater, this episode is for you.Episode Highlights0:00 – Intro: Poll results and how The Warning won the Metal Union vote5:23 – Album context: Queensrÿche in 1984—Seattle isolation and the progressive metal blueprint12:45 – “Deliverance” – The opening track that wasn't supposed to open the album18:32 – The EMI remix controversy: How the label rearranged the album while the band toured Japan24:15 – “NM 156” – The weird, jazzy, robotic prog odyssey that terrified record executives31:40 – Jeff Tate's voice at 24: Operatic range, theatrical character work, and why he's more than just “metal Bruce Dickinson”38:50 – “Take Hold of the Flame” – The anthem that hints at Operation: Mindcrime44:20 – Geography matters: Why being in Seattle (not L.A.) saved this band from breaking up51:10 – “Road to Madness” – Epic ambition or forced prog?

Many people think that God is old fashioned, outdated, and irrelevant. The God of the Bible is the God of the New: (John 13:34; John 3:7; Ezekiel; 36:26; Isaiah 65:17; Romans 6:4).   God has new plans for you personally, in your marriage and your church. Every day we can expect something new from God (Lamentations 3:22-23). When you have difficulties, sadness and negativity it can be hard to believe that things can change. This was exactly the situation for the Jewish people after they were taken from their country and saw everything destroyed. But from Isaiah chapter 40 onwards, the prophet shows them that new days are ahead.  Isaiah 43:18-19: 18 “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. 19 See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.   1.To Take Hold of a New Future You Must Leave the Past Behind Change your mindset. (Philippians 3:13–14; Revelation 21:5). When God says: “do not dwell on the past” He is saying I gave you those experiences to draw from, not to dwell in. We must learn and move forward.  Apply: Make a decision to not dwell in the past anymore, to not mourn for what did or did not happen in your life. Release and detached from the comfort zone and step into the new.  2.To Take Hold of a New Future You Must Receive a New Vision Isaiah 43:19a: See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?  (2 Corinthians 5:17; Romans 12:2; Genesis 17: 1-2; Psalm 84:7) You must receive a new Vision Apply: Lift your eyes and see the new, a new beginning is not always quitting your job and looking for a new one, sometimes a new beginning is a new attitude towards the people at your workplace, or taking the hands of your family and praying with them.  3.To Take Hold of a New Future You Must Expect Miracles God works through us to bring healing to people, we can see miracles of healing, deliverance, financial provision and miracles of restoration in broken families. Apply: What do you consider to be a wilderness area in your life? In your relationship with God, your personal life, your family and your ministry?

Jesus Followers Reach Out to God When Fear and Anxiety Seek to Take Hold of Life Because They Have a Personal Relationship with the Universe's Creator MESSAGE SUMMARY: Your problems are not too big for God because God is faithful and Sovereign.

And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.".

Our God is a faithful God – reach out to God when fear and anxiety are taking a firm hold on your life.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I now take a deep breath and stop.

Ever notice how easy it is to drift through life without realizing you're moving? Pastor Mike Fabarez reveals how passive spiritual living leads to inevitable drift. He defines the clear difference between hearing biblical truth and actually grabbing hold of it before it's too late.

In our information-saturated age, countless voices compete for your attention every single day. Pastor Mike Fabarez cuts through the noise with a critical warning about spiritual discernment. We'll examine why Christians must become skilled at separating authentic biblical truth from religious counterfeits.

Pastor Mike Fabarez confronts a vital question: how do we ensure God's voice doesn't get lost in all the noise? We'll examine why treating scripture as just another opinion could be spiritually dangerous, and why biblical truth deserves our most careful attention.

Pastor Josh shows us that in order for us to take hold of what God has for us, we must let go of some of the things in our life.

Do you know just how important you are to God? Your confidence in His love for you and in the promises He has given you in His Word are keys to your victory! Join Melissa for Lesson 2 as we discuss how God encourages each of us through how others see Him and also through what He is willing to do – just for us! God wants you to know that no matter what has happened in your past – that you can trust Him to rescue you and to restore your hope and future in Him!

What does it mean to “fight the good fight of the faith” (v. 12)?• How is this different from fighting for faith vs. fighting with faith? • What doctrinal “fights” are worth engaging in as believers?• Which ones are distractions?2. Paul tells Timothy to “take hold of eternal life” (v. 12).• How can eternal life be something we take hold of now, not just something we receive later?• Look at John 17:3 and answer the question above again.3. Why does he warn so strongly about misplaced hope in riches (vv. 17–19)?• What subtle ways might we put our hope in wealth instead of God?• How can generosity and “being rich in good works” reorient our hearts?4. Paul commands Timothy to “guard the gospel” (vv. 20–21).• What are modern threats to the gospel (inside and outside the church)?• What practical steps can we take personally—and as a group—to “guard” what's been entrusted to us?5. Paul ends his letter with “Grace be with you.”• Why is grace the final word of Paul's pastoral instruction?• How does God's grace empower you to live out these commands—and where do you still struggle to rest in that grace?God designed the church to be a battleground for sound doctrine where people place their hope in God and not riches nd by this experience a taste of eternal life here and now.Pray for the Unreached: The Ad Dharma in IndiaThe Ad Dharmi are a marginalized community of over 1 million in northern India, primarily working in leather-related trades. Though socially integrated in some ways, they still face low status in Hindu society. Most follow traditional Hindu practices, seeking blessings through temple rituals and festivals. Despite having access to the Bible and gospel media, there are virtually no known believers among them. Pray that the Ad Dharmi would encounter the love of Jesus and that entire families would be drawn to Him.FinancesWeekly Budget 34,615Giving For 08/24 33,585Giving For 08/31 17,481YTD Budget 311,538Giving 264,549 OVER/(UNDER) (46,989)Fellowship CollegeAre you a college student or between the ages of 18–22?

This week on The Miracle Frequency, I'm sharing an honest and raw episode after taking two weeks away from recording. During this time, I found myself deeply caught in old patterns of fear, doubt, and looping thoughts... tangled in the mind as it tried to take control and disconnect me from my truth. If you've ever felt stuck, trapped in your head, or like you've lost touch with your flow, this episode will guide you back to your center. I share how to recognise when you're resisting your inner guidance, navigate ego-driven spirals, and reconnect to the deeper intelligence of Source. Even though I almost didn't release this episode because the audio quality isn't perfect (I forgot to connect my mic properly!), the message flowing through felt important and needed to be shared. This is a conversation about navigating the moments when your mind feels louder than your soul and finding your way back to trust and flow. In this episode, I open up about: The personal challenges I've been moving through over the past two weeks Feeling trapped in old thought patterns and how I began to shift them How fear and doubt can block your connection to Source Returning to surrender when the mind wants control Rebuilding trust in your inner guidance and highest timeline If you've been questioning yourself or feeling disconnected from your flow, this episode is for you. You'll be reminded that you're not broken, you're simply being called back into alignment. Want to go deeper into connecting with Source?

During the early weeks of the pandemic, Tim Hayward spent 14 days in a coma. He remembers this time vividly – his days and nights filled with strange, incandescent visions and hallucinations. That experience is something he would never choose to revisit but, around the world, large numbers of people are deliberately seeking out powerfully altered states. In this ten-part series, Tim sets out to better understand a group of substances that induce altered states: psychedelics. There's been a surge of interest in their therapeutic potential for various mental health conditions - as well as a range of other clinical possibilities. As research around the world ramps up after years of taboo and prohibition he tries to get to grips with - or at least get a clearer sense of - how science, culture, politics and business might all interact in this changing psychedelic landscape, and what it all might mean. He also explores what might be happening in the brain during a trip and whether, by studying psychedelics, we might uncover more about consciousness, imagination and even the mysteries of reality itself.In this second episode Tim stares at a rose, encounters an inflatable head, and tries to get to grips with the anatomy of a trip.Contributors: Eugenia Bone, journalist and author of “How to Have a Good Trip” Steven A.

Let Go & Take Hold What if the thing holding you back isn't just your past—but your comfort with a present counterfeit? In this message, Pastor Aaron unpacks the story of the lame beggar in Acts 3 and challenges us to see ourselves as the one in need of healing. From brokenness to breakthrough, this week's message explores what it means to move beyond the outskirts of purpose, pivot your perspective, and take hold of the real thing Jesus offers—Himself.  Whether you've settled for less, gotten stuck in shame, or simply need a fresh start, this is your invitation to let go... and take hold.  Acts 3:1-10, Psalm 24:3-6, Isaiah 61:1-3, Acts 3:19 Discussion topics Read Acts 3:1–10. What stands out to you most about the lame beggar's encounter with Peter and John? How might you relate to his story today?  Pastor Aaron talked about the danger of settling for a counterfeit. What are some examples of “counterfeits” people commonly settle for? Why do you think they're so tempting? The lame man had to let go of what he was expecting in order to take hold of what God had for him. What might God be asking you to let go of right now? In what ways have you experienced healing, purpose, or a shift in perspective through Jesus? How could sharing that story encourage someone else in your group or life?  Check out our other audio series and video playlists that can help you find Jesus in every moment and then discover what's next
