Welcome to the Grace Coach Podcast! Mike and Kevin share their insights from the Book of Colossians as they dive into Chapter 3:1-17. 3 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. 5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. 6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.7 You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. 8 But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. 9 Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. 11 Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all. 12 Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. 15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. 17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Our thoughts impact our words, and our words can define our reality. How can we ensure our reality reflects growing spiritually in the Lord? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson shares two behaviors the Bible tells us are essential for growing: giving thanks to God and guarding our hearts. Gratitude starts in our thoughts, and Pastor Allen teaches about the benefits of thankfulness versus complaining. He shares stories of the Apostle Paul, Silas, Jonah, and Job to demonstrate the power of praise, even in discouraging and frightening situations. Let's be willing to engage in behaviors that allow God to bring new growth into our lives!

God's Spirit can bring us lasting and complete peace, no matter the circumstances. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the need for gratitude in our daily lives. When we practice thankfulness to God for His perfect character and provision, He gives us His peace—a peace that surpasses understanding. Pastor Allen teaches about the biblical foundation for a gratitude that dispels anxiety, as well as how to live out this biblical idea. Additionally, he shares about the consequences of ungratefulness we see throughout the Bible. We can be secure in God's peace when we give expression to thankfulness.

How can you live a life of overflowing thankfulness when you have so many things to concentrate on each day? The Bible gives us the answer.

Psalm 75 invites us to a kind of thankfulness we rarely consider. In this sermon, we are led to give thanks not just for gifts and blessings, but for God's justice and judgment. The psalm opens with a call to communal gratitude, rooted in remembrance of God's wondrous deeds. As it unfolds, we hear God's voice promising to judge with equity at the time He has appointed, even as the pillars of the world seem to sway. This message warns against pride, reminding us that no human strength can stand against God's verdict. Yet it also points us to hope. Though the cup of God's wrath is real, Jesus drank it in our place. Thankfulness, then, is not a lighthearted list of comforts, but a humble, worshipful response to the one who steadies the world, silences the arrogant, and spares the guilty. The question is not simply whether we are grateful, but whether our gratitude has grown deep enough to include even the justice of God

No one is excluded by heritage, past, or position. His grace reaches beyond borders, and His house is to be a place of prayer for all people, where anyone who desires to know Him can find a welcome, a name, and a lasting place in His presence.

SummaryIn this episode of the Major Gifts Fundraiser podcast, Clark Vandeventer discusses the importance of morning routines, personal fulfillment through the three-hour rule, and the balance between maintenance and intensity in life. He emphasizes the need for self-care and intentionality in both personal and professional development, encouraging listeners to reflect on their own routines and goals.TakeawaysThe three-hour rule allows for personal fulfillment.You don't have to be intense all the time, but you must maintain.Life belongs to the community, and we should serve it.Morning routines set the tone for the day.Self-care is essential for peak performance.Budgeting and scheduling are forms of life energy management.Maintenance mode is necessary for long-term success.Reflect on when to have intense periods of work.Thankfulness for the opportunity to serve others is vital.

LESSON 170There Is No Cruelty In God And None In Me.No one attacks without intent to hurt. This can have no exception. When you think that you attack in self-defense, you mean that to be cruel is protection; you are safe because of cruelty. You mean that you believe to hurt another brings you freedom. And you mean that to attack is to exchange the state in which you are for something better, safer, more secure from dangerous invasion and from fear.How thoroughly insane is the idea that to defend from fear is to attack! For here is fear begot and fed with blood, to make it grow and swell and rage. And thus is fear protected, not escaped. Today we learn a lesson which can save you more delay and needless misery than you can possibly imagine. It is this:You make what you defend against,and by your own defense against it is it real and inescapable.Lay down your arms, and only then do you perceive it false.It seems to be the enemy without that you attack. Yet your defense sets up an enemy within; an alien thought at war with you, depriving you of peace, splitting your mind into two camps which seem wholly irreconcilable. For love now has an “enemy,” an opposite; and fear, the alien, now needs your defense against the threat of what you really are.If you consider carefully the means by which your fancied self-defense proceeds on its imagined way, you will perceive the premises on which the idea stands. First, it is obvious ideas must leave their source, for it is you who make attack, and must have first conceived of it. Yet you attack outside yourself, and separate your mind from him who is to be attacked, with perfect faith the split you made is real.Next, are the attributes of love bestowed upon its “enemy.” For fear becomes your safety and protector of your peace, to which you turn for solace and escape from doubts about your strength, and hope of rest in dreamless quiet. And as love is shorn of what belongs to it and it alone, love is endowed with attributes of fear. For love would ask you lay down all defense as merely foolish. And your arms indeed would crumble into dust. For such they are.With love as enemy, must cruelty become a god. And gods demand that those who worship them obey their dictates, and refuse to question them. Harsh punishment is meted out relentlessly to those who ask if the demands are sensible or even sane. It is their enemies who are unreasonable and insane, while they are always merciful and just.Today we look upon this cruel god dispassionately. And we note that though his lips are smeared with blood, and fire seems to flame from him, he is but made of stone. He can do nothing. We need not defy his power. He has none. And those who see in him their safety have no guardian, no strength to call upon in danger, and no mighty warrior to fight for them.This moment can be terrible. But it can also be the time of your release from abject slavery. You make a choice, standing before this idol, seeing him exactly as he is. Will you restore to love what you have sought to wrest from it and lay before this mindless piece of stone? Or will you make another idol to replace it? For the god of cruelty takes many forms. Another can be found.Yet do not think that fear is the escape from fear. Let us remember what the text has stressed about the obstacles to peace. The final one, the hardest to believe is nothing, and a seeming obstacle with the appearance of a solid block, impenetrable, fearful and beyond surmounting, is the fear of God Himself. Here is the basic premise which enthrones the thought of fear as god. For fear is loved by those who worship it, and love appears to be invested now with cruelty.Where does the totally insane belief in gods of vengeance come from? Love has not confused its attributes with those of fear. Yet must the worshippers of fear perceive their own confusion in fear's “enemy”; its cruelty as now a part of love. And what becomes more fearful than the Heart of Love Itself? The blood appears to be upon His Lips; the fire comes from Him. And He is terrible above all else, cruel beyond conception, striking down all who acknowledge Him to be their God.The choice you make today is certain. For you look for the last time upon this bit of carven stone you made, and call it god no longer. You have reached this place before, but you have chosen that this cruel god remain with you in still another form. And so the fear of God returned with you. This time you leave it there. And you return to a new world, unburdened by its weight; beheld not in its sightless eyes, but in the vision that your choice restored to you.Now do your eyes belong to Christ, and He looks through them. Now your voice belongs to God and echoes His. And now your heart remains at peace forever. You have chosen Him in place of idols, and your attributes, given by your Creator, are restored to you at last. The Call for God is heard and answered. Now has fear made way for love, as God Himself replaces cruelty.Father, we are like You. No cruelty abides in us, for there is none in You. Your peace is ours. And we bless the world with what we have received from You alone. We choose again, and make our choice for all our brothers, knowing they are one with us. We bring them Your salvation as we have received it now. And we give thanks for them who render us complete. In them we see Your glory, and in them we find our peace. Holy are we because Your holiness has set us free. And we give thanks. Amen.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Thankfulness is a heart condition, while giving thanks is an action. King David, a man after God's own heart, was thankful toward God - not only for what God had done for him, but thankful to God for all that he is. Nathan Pearl continues his series on the kings of Israel.

How should we respond to the God who died for us that we might live with him? I. Don't refuse him because He is speaking to you in his Son, v25. II. Be grateful because you are receiving an enduring kingdom, vv26-28. III. Be reverent in your worship and service because our God is a consuming fire, vv28-29.

In this episode of the Gratitude Podcast, Ed Hart explores the concepts of gratitude and thankfulness, emphasizing their differences and the importance of cultivating a spirit of gratitude in daily life. He shares personal anecdotes, biblical insights, and encourages listeners to embrace gratitude as a deeper emotional connection that lasts over time. The episode highlights the power of prayer and the significance of giving thanks in all circumstances, ultimately inspiring listeners to reflect on their own gratitude and the joy it brings.

In this solo episode, Pandora opens up about her ongoing recovery from an eating disorder — sharing both the challenges and the quiet, everyday victories that come with trying to rewire deeply embedded habits. From the emotional resistance to balanced meals to the complex relationship with control and routine, she reflects honestly on what it means to move toward healing.Pandora also introduces a practical support tool she's using: a lunchbox meal system designed by a chef who specialises in eating disorder recovery. She explains how having meals prepared externally helps reduce decision fatigue and opens space for self-compassion. Alongside this, she shares her efforts to build new patterns using Jay Shetty's ‘TIMES' acronym — focusing on daily practices of Thankfulness, Insight, Meditation, Exercise, and Service.This episode is a gentle reminder that recovery isn't linear — but small acts of care, consistency, and kindness toward ourselves really do add up.Stay Connected with Hurt to Healing:Instagram: instagram.com/hurttohealingpodTikTok: tiktok.com/@hurttohealingpodLinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/hurt-to-healingSubstack: substack.com/@hurttohealingWebsite: hurttohealing.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

Often, moments of beauty, joy, and laughter in life are so fleeting. The challenges and griefs of life in this fallen world can quickly overshadow our perception of the good that God brings into our lives. Mike Emlet lists ten ways to stretch a momentary joy into a more lasting posture of gratitude. You can read the blog here.

*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. Summary: God is working His will out in those who open up to Him and totally give over their will to Him. This spiritual balance between God's working and the intuitive of faith and willingness in us produces an atmosphere that God can create His will in us. In all that He allows us to go through, we give back to Him a deep worship and thankfulness knowing that He is working out His perfect will in our lives. Show Notes: God is the beginning and the end in our lives. There is a balance between God working in us and our initiative to do His will. We allow Him to work in our lives to accomplish his will. He is faithful to finish His work in us. In all He lets us go through good and bad, we are commanded to give thanks. When we give thanks in all things we are saying You are the Lord and I submit to your working out Your will in my life. Quotes: God starts something and He's gonna finish it. He's the alpha and He's the omega. He's the beginning and the end. Yes, He is that, but what He does in us is the same thing. There's a balance in this because if, if we say that He is the, Alpha and the Omega, we're His workmanship, but we take an attitude I don't have to do anything and He's gonna do it all. There is an initiative on our part that we have to open the door so that He can become in us what is necessary to bring us totally into the presence of the Father. It's about allowing Him to come into our lives and be that part of us that we are constantly in, in a relationship with. He can actually lead us...

In this down-to-earth and inspiring message, Pastor Robert Shingleton walks us through what it really means to live a life of gratitude. From being thankful when things go our way to trusting God even when they don't, we dive into the three levels of thankfulness and how each one can grow our faith. It's a reminder to not take God's blessings for granted, to drop the entitlement mindset, and to appreciate the grace we've been given—especially the kind we didn't earn or deserve. This message challenges us to look beyond surface-level thankfulness and embrace a deeper, soul-level gratitude for salvation and eternal life through Jesus. At the end of the day, every good thing in our lives points back to Him.

True thankfulness begins with awareness, expresses itself through action, and draws us into deeper relationship with Jesus.

Conflict is inevitable in every relationship, especially in marriage. In Song of Solomon 5, we see that even the most passionate love stories encounter moments of hurt and misunderstanding. The honeymoon phase fades, and real-life challenges arise. The bride's initial rejection of Solomon's romantic invitation creates a moment of offense and separation, a reminder that the ones we love most have the greatest power to wound us. What happens next is key, Solomon chooses forgiveness over offense. Instead of allowing hurt to build a fence between them, he tears it down with grace and love. This teaches us that the success of our marriages depends not on avoiding conflict, but on how we resolve it. Key Takeaways: 1). Conflict is inevitable: Every relationship will face moments of misunderstanding and hurt. 2). Offense builds fences: Unforgiveness creates barriers that separate people from each other. 3). Forgiveness tears down fences: Choosing to forgive restores intimacy and connection. 4). Thankfulness heals hearts: Reflecting on the good in others rekindles love and friendship. The way you tear down a fence is through forgiveness and thankfulness. Ephesians 4:32, “And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.” This message isn't just for married couples. Whether single, dating, or building friendships, these principles apply to every relationship. Forgiveness and thankfulness are keys to healing, restoring trust, and experiencing deeper connection. Join Pastor Phil Hopper as he shares lessons from the Song of Solomon on forgiveness and thankfulness in marriage.
