This message kicks off a four-week focus on Readiness, Repentance, Service, and Community—starting with Jesus' call to be ready. Walking through Luke 12, Pastor Landon urges believers to live with eternal urgency: girded and lamps burning, watching, working, and discerning the times—because Christ could return at any moment. Key Themes • Readiness: Girded for action; lamps filled and burning (Luke 12:35–40; 1 Pet. 1:13). • Watching & Hope: Joy tied to longing for His appearing; our blessed hope (1 Thes. 4:13–18; Titus 2:13). • Working: Faithful stewardship now—time, talents, treasure—because to whom much is given, much is required (Luke 12:41–48; 1 Cor. 4:2). • Division: Loyalty to Jesus above all else (Luke 12:49–53; Matt. 10:34–39; John 15:18–19). • Discerning: Read the signs of the times; stay sober and awake (Luke 12:54–56; Rom. 13:11; 1 Thes. 5:6). • Reconciling: Settle with God now—today is the day of salvation (Luke 12:57–59; 2 Cor. 6:2; Rom. 5:1). Scriptures Mentioned Luke 12:35–59; 1 Pet. 1:13; Matt. 24–25; Rev. 1; 4–5; 19; 1 Cor. 15:51–52; 1 Thes. 4:13–18; 5:1–6; Titus 2:13; Rom. 13:11; 14:12; 2 Cor. 5:10; Zech. 4:6. Practical Responses • Cut one daily distraction (social, TV, gaming) to create space for Word & prayer. • Journal what God is teaching you; share a reflection with a friend. • Take a step in discipleship—be discipled and disciple someone. • Evaluate stewardship: where are you investing eternally vs. temporally? • If you don't know Jesus, reconcile with God today (2 Cor. 6:2).

When Jesus said that “Salvation is from the Jews (John 4:22)” it is impossible to conclude that Jews provide salvation. Only God — Jesus Christ — provides salvation. Jesus Christ was murdered by the Jews and the Father of Jesus Christ was not a Jew at all. Then in what sense does Christ mean that “salvation is from the Jews?” Christ Himself explains this: Jesus Christ (salvation) is the stone which the builders rejected, he is the Cornerstone of the Third Temple. The builders — the Chief Priests — rejected this Salvation and so God calls others to be saved. In Matthew 21, Jesus said “therefore the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you (the Jews) and given to a people (Europeans) producing the fruit of it. (Europe becomes Christendom — the Kingdom of Christ). The Jews themselves prophesied that “the Romans (Europeans) will come and take away both our place and our nation.” (John 11:48). In this sense Salvation is from the Jews because the Jews reject Salvation and others, namely the Europeans, accept the salvation that the Jews rejected. The Jews are damned by God (Luke 19:27) blessed by Satan (Matthew 4:8-9), are children of the deceiver (John 8:44), the wrath of God eternally abides upon them (1 Thes 2:15-16), and the name Jew is left as a curse (Is 65:15) while His people are called Christians (Acts 11:26) Fritz Berggren, PhD Colorado 17 August 2025 A.D.

Bible readings: Jer 10, 1 Thes 1 Last Sunday’s sermon: “Do not learn the ways of the nations” with Anton Marquez, part of our series “Judgement and Hope”. The post Do not learn the ways of the nations appeared first on All Saints North Epping.

Is your glass half-empty or half-full? In Half Empty or Half Full?, Megan J. Conner reflects on how our perspective shapes our faith. Through the story of Adam and Eve and the subtle lies of the enemy, she reveals how focusing on what we lack leads to spiritual discontent—and how gratitude and truth can shift our mindset back to the goodness of God. This episode is a powerful reminder that contentment starts with choosing to see abundance, even when circumstances tempt us to focus on what’s missing. ✨ Highlights How the enemy uses subtle deception to shift our focus from abundance to lack Why gratitude is key to spiritual peace and emotional resilience The ripple effects of perspective on our faith, speech, and actions A look at Genesis 3 and Proverbs 18:21 to explore the power of words and choices Practical challenge to build a daily habit of thankfulness and see your cup overflow

A FRONTLINES DRIVE and Basham faith-drop! Various revelations and stories as well as ... impressions, shall we say, on the landscape of fishing fer the souls'a men!  AMEN?FAITHBUCKS.COMPray without ceasing (1 THES 5:17)1. Why does the Lord in the Bible repeatedly tell you to pray, when all the time He knows what you need better than you do & He knows what you're going to pray about? Sometimes He even says He'll answer you before you ask. It's mostly for your benefit you have to pray, not for His, a confession to Him that you can't do without Him.2. I know that Christ is, because I talked with Him this morning.3. The power's always on. The message is always there. God's Spirit is like a broadcasting station broadcasting all the time. All you have to do is throw the switch and tune in.4. I don't care how many gifts you have--if you don't keep in touch with the Lord all the time you are in trouble.5.When you're strong in the Spirit, God will do anything for you! You're one with Him, & when this happens, you can command Him to do anything.6. God's broadcasting all the time, You just have to learn how to tune in!7. The Lord does not always answer us right away, which sometimes tests our faith & draws us closer to Him in the Spirit.8. Drown yourself in Jesus--like the drunk drowns his sorrows in drink!9. I don't know all the answers, but I know the answer Man!10. The worst thing in the World you can do is to keep on going when you don't know what to do.11. You cannot do the Master's Work without the Master's Power!--And to get it, you must spend time with the Master!

In Week 4 of the Talking Jesus series, Pastor Torry encourages believers to recognize the power of their personal story as a tool for evangelism. Titled “Your Story, God's Glory,” the message aims to demystify evangelism by reminding us that you don't need a seminary degree or dramatic backstory to share Jesus—just a willingness to be honest about what He's done in your life. The message opens with a humorous story about a push mower that Pastor Torry inherited when living in Florida. Unbeknownst to him, it had a self-propel feature that he never used—making the task far harder than it needed to be. That illustration becomes a spiritual metaphor: evangelism feels difficult when we're trying to do it in our own strength. But God has already built in the power—we just need to engage it. The Blueprint for Evangelism Revelation 12:11 offers a simple but profound formula for kingdom advancement: “They overcame by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony.” Jesus does the saving—that's the “blood of the Lamb.” But we have a role too—the “word of our testimony.” God's strategy has always involved partnership with people. We don't save, but we point. We reflect. We witness. And every believer has a story that can do just that. Why Your Testimony Matters Pastor Torry outlines five reasons why our personal stories carry spiritual weight: Testimonies Are Evidence (Ps 19:1, Rom 1:20) Creation bears the fingerprints of God, and so do changed lives. When grace rewrites your story, it leaves a mark—proof that God is real and good. Testimonies Are Hard to Argue With (John 9) Debates can spark defensiveness. But a changed life? That's hard to refute. Like the blind man in John 9, you don't have to explain everything. “I was blind, but now I see” is enough. Testimonies Build Bridges (1 Thes 2:8) Stories connect in a way arguments can't. They invite vulnerability and relationship. As Paul writes in 1 Thessalonians 2:8, we're called to share the gospel—and our lives. Testimonies Point to Jesus (Gal 2:20) Your story isn't about you—it's about Christ in you. The messier your past, the more glory God gets for what He's redeemed. Testimonies Offer Hope (Titus 3:3-5) People are always looking for meaning. Your story might be what helps them imagine a future touched by grace. How to Share Your Story Naturally Pastor Torry then shares four practical principles for weaving your testimony into everyday life: Look for Open Doors Conversations about stress, pain, or purpose are often invitations. Pay attention. Ask questions. Then gently walk through that door. Share Moments, Not Memoirs People don't need your full life story—they need a relatable moment. A short story about how God helped you through something similar goes a long way. Speak Like a Real Person Avoid the churchy voice. Talk about God the way you naturally would. People notice sincerity—and it stirs curiosity. Embrace the Awkward Faith conversations can feel clunky. That's okay. Call it out, laugh about it, and be real. People aren't looking for polish—they're looking for authenticity. Closing Encouragement Pastor Torry closes with a powerful story about his mother. Years ago, a Sunday school teacher shared a testimony about praying bold prayers for healing. Weeks later, Torry suffered a traumatic head injury. Inspired by that testimony, his mother prayed—boldly and faithfully. And God answered. The takeaway? That Sunday school teacher had no idea her story would become the catalyst for someone else's miracle. You never know how far your story will go or when it might echo into someone else's future. You don't have to save anyone—Jesus does that. But you are a witness. You are a hope-bearer. And your story may be the spark that lights faith in someone else. Tell it. Because your story gives God glory.

All our work to MAGA is like raking dry pine needles up in a forest set on fire.   We aren't even talkning about national repentance or returning to Jesus Christ as a Nation. Theocracy is non-optional -- we are under Satan's theocracy run by his children now. The Jews had the Word of God and then overlaid it with their oral traditions; this is exactly what the modern Christian Church has done with the Words of Jesus Christ and His Apostles.  We don't really like the Jesus of John 8:44, Rev 3:9, Rev 3:9 or 1 Thes 2:14-16 or even Matthew 5:17-19.  We have come up with a new religion, just like the Jews did. Instead of talking about how to role pack the LGBTQ agenda in grade schools, we just be debating the extent to which the Sabbath will be enforced, or whether to give localities the leeway to have a Saturday Sabbath instead of a Sunday Sabbath (I'm a Sunday guy).

Continuing with our series “Connected in Community”, today Pastor Kuulei talks about 3 truths about community and dispels the lies we tend to believe about being in community.Key Scriptures:Acts 2:2-4,42-47, Heb 10:23-25, Rom 12:3-5, Psa 92:12-13, 1 Pet 4:10, 1 Thes 5:11,14, 1 Cor 12:12-27

32 Remember Lot's wife. 33 Whoever seeks to save his life will loseit, and whoever loses his life will preserve it.  Luke17:30-36 describes what will occur when Jesus Christ returns in judgment todefeat His enemies and establish His kingdom on earth (Rev. 19:11-20:6).Believers in every age of the church can take warning from these verses, butthey apply in a special way to Israel at the end of the age (see Matt.24:29-44). When Jesus comes for His church and takes it to heaven, it willhappen "in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye" (1 Cor.15:52). Nobody taking part in the rapture of the church need worry about beingon a housetop or in a field and wanting to get something out of the house!However, when the Lord returns to the earth, His coming will first be precededby a "sign" in heaven (Matt. 24:30-31), and some people might try tohurry home to rescue something. "Remember Lot's wife!" Theverb taken in Luke 17:34-36 does not mean "taken to heaven" but"taken away in judgment" (Matt. 24:36-41). The person"left" is a believer who enters into the kingdom. Noah and his familywere "left" to enjoy a new beginning, while the whole population ofthe earth was "taken" in the Flood. In spite of their sins, Lot andhis daughters were "left" while the people in Sodom and Gomorrah were"taken" when the fire and brimstone destroyed the cities. Thefact that it is night in Luke 17:34 but day in Luke 17:35-36 indicates that thewhole world will be involved in the return of Jesus Christ in glory. "Behold,He cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see Him" (Rev. 1:7). Threetimes the disciples had heard Jesus talk about people being "taken"and "left," so they asked Him a most logical question: "Where,Lord?" Our Lord's reply has the sound of a familiar proverb: "Justas the eagles [and vultures, Matt. 24:28] gather at a corpse, so the lost willbe gathered together for judgment." The description of the last battlein Revelation 19:17-21 certainly parallels the image of carrion-eating birdsgorging themselves on flesh. Inother words, when the Lord Jesus returns to judge His enemies, there will be aseparation of the saved and the lost. Whether it be day or night, whetherpeople are working or sleeping, the separation and judgment will come. Thosewho are saved will be left to enter the glorious kingdom, while those who arelost will be taken away in judgment. Eventhough the primary interpretation of these verses is for Israel in the endtimes, they do emphasize for the church the importance of being ready whenJesus returns. We must not be like Lot's wife whose heart was so in Sodom thatshe looked back in spite of the angels' warning (Gen. 19:17, 26). There aremany professed Christians today whose plans would be interrupted if Jesusreturned! (note 1 Thes. 5:1-11) Our Lord's warning in Luke 17:33 findsparallels in Matthew 10:39; Luke 9:24; and John 12:25, and is a fundamentalprinciple of the Christian life. The only way to save your life is to lose itfor the sake of Christ and the Gospel. Jesuspictured civilization as a "rotting corpse" that would one day beripe for judgment. The discerning believer sees evidence of this on every handand realizes that the "days of Noah" and the "days of Lot"are soon on us. Our Lord can return for His church at any time, so we are notlooking for signs; but we do know that "coming events cast their shadowsbefore." As we see many of these things begin to come to pass (Luke21:28), we know that His return is nearing. Arewe looking for His return, and do we really want to see Him come? Remember, Lot'swife, and don't look back but be looking up! Godbless.

Wrapping up our Easter series “Last Supper with The Chosen”, Pastor Jodi teaches on the resurrection of Jesus, which is the most important event in all of history. Despite what looked like loss, defeat, and sorrow in the crucifixion, everything turned around on that Sunday morning when the disciples realized Jesus was risen! He was risen indeed!!! We too, when we suffer with Jesus, can experience the JOY He has made available to us through the message of the cross. This Sunday we will celebrate the “Super Bowl” of Sundays for those who believe in this message of the resurrection of Christ.Key Scriptures:John 16:20,11:25-26,  Rom 8:17, Phi 3:10-11, 2 Cor 1:5, 1 Thes 4:14-18, Heb 3:15

Now amazing, the place we pick up in Luke 12:22-29, seemsto specifically be for our family during a time like this! Remember Jesusbegins this chapter telling His disciples to “beware of hypocrisy” (vv. 1-12).Then Jesus tells them to “beware of covetousness” (vv. 13-21). You might havenoticed like me, that in verse 22, this is the second time Jesus specificallyaddresses His disciple in this chapter. In verses 1 and 22, we read, “…Jesussaid to His disciples”. Now, In verse 22, Jesus basically is saying to them,and to us, “beware of worry”. Jesus had just told the story of the rich farmer who was afool, not because he was rich, but because he forgot to consider God and eternity.The rich farmer worried because he had too much, but the disciples might betempted to worry because they did not have enough! They had given up all theyhad in order to follow Christ They were living by faith, and faith is alwaystested. First, we should remember that worry is destructive.The word translated "worry" in Luke 12:22 (or “anxious” in othertranslations), means "to be torn apart," and the word “anxious”,translated "doubtful mind" in Luke 12:29, KJV, ASV, means "to beheld in suspense." It is the picture of a ship being tossed in a storm.Our English word worry comes from an old Anglo-Saxon word that means "tostrangle." "Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow," saidCorrie Ten Boom; "it empties today of its strength." Someone said, “Worryis like being in a rocking chair. It will give you something to do but won'tget you anywhere”. It will emotionally wear you out! Worry is also deceptive. It gives us a falseview of life, of itself, and of God. Worry convinces us that life is made up ofwhat we eat and what we wear. We get so concerned about the means that wetotally forget about the end, which is to glorify God (Matt. 6:33). There is agreat difference between making a living and making a life. Worry blinds us tothe world around us and the way God cares for His creation. God makes theflowers beautiful, and He even feeds the unclean ravens who have no ability tosow or reap. He ought to be able to care for men to whom He has given theability to work. Jesus was not suggesting that we sit around and let God feedus, for the birds themselves work hard to stay alive. Rather, He encourages usto trust Him and cooperate with Him in using the abilities and opportunitiesthat He gives us (2 Thes. 3:6-15). But worry even blinds us to itself. We can get to the placewhere we actually think that worry accomplishes good things in our lives! InLuke 12:25, Jesus pointed out that our worries do not add one extra minute toour lives (Ps. 39:5) or one extra inch to our height. The rich farmer'sfretting certainly did not lengthen his life! Instead of adding to our lives,our worries take away from our lives. People can worry themselves into thehospital or into the grave! Once again, Jesus argued from the lesser to thegreater. If God feeds the birds, He will surely feed His children. If Hebeautifies the plants that grow up one day and are cut down the next, surely Hewill clothe His own people. The problem is not His little power, for He can doanything; the problem is our little faith. The emotion of worry should be like an alarm clock to us.It warns and alerts us that we are looking and thinking more about our needs,and focusing on them, rather than our great God who loves us and cares for us, andis more than sufficient to meet those needs. May the Lord often remind us of His cure for worry in Philippians4:6-7, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer andsupplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; andthe peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts andminds through Christ Jesus.” God bless!

On todays cast we begin our coverage of the random Xenos of the galaxy.  Our focus is on some of the Xenos that have no codex.  Thes are races that appear in stories, codexes, and some of GW's side games.  Many of these races have only a few (very well written) paragraphs on them in the lore, so it is more of a quick rundown on each of the races.  On todays cast we cover:  The Tepresi, Cythor Fiends, Caryatids, Rak'Gol, the Slaugth and more.

Do you ever feel tempted to compare the way you live out your faith to the way others are living out theirs? How do we battle this temptation to comparison? In this episode of The Crosswalk Devotional, we explore the concept of a simple call and how it can transform our lives and the lives of those around us. Each of us receives unique prompts from God, inviting us to step into our purpose and serve others. We’ll discuss how these calls may manifest in our daily lives, the significance of responding to them, and the impact they can have on our faith journey. Join us as we share inspiring stories and biblical insights that encourage us to answer the call, no matter how simple it may seem. Join the Conversation: We’d love to hear from you! What simple call have you answered in your life, and how has it shaped your faith? Share your experiences with us on social media @LifeaudioNetwork or via email. What challenges have you faced in responding to God’s call?

Growing up in the vibrant yet gritty town of San Pedro, Thes was introduced to surfing by his uncle, igniting a lifelong passion for the ocean. At the same time, he discovered his love for music, which eventually led him to co-found the iconic rap group, People Under the Stairs. Surfing in San Pedro wasn't always easy—its localized breaks and colorful characters made for a challenging lineup, especially for outsiders. But this unique environment shaped Thes, leaving an indelible mark on both his surfing and his music.While his music career took center stage for much of his early adult life, the ocean never stopped calling. Thes eventually returned to his hometown, rekindling his relationship with surfing and finding balance between his two passions. Now, whether he's on tour or traveling the globe, he makes time to chase waves and soak in the stoke of surf culture. Tune in as Thes shares his journey of navigating the intersections of music, surf, and creativity, and how these passions continue to shape his life today.Support the showBUY THE ENDLESS SUMMER BOX SET HERE!If you like the QuiverCast here are some ways to help us keep going!

God is the only One you can rely on to be faithful to you. “Faithful is He that calls you who will also do it” (1 Thes 5:24). His absolute faithfulness is His grace expression to you. “Great is Your faithfulness” (Lam 3:23). To reciprocate and be faithful to God, you must keep growing spiritually. The more you learn of God's Word and grow in your advance to spiritual maturity, the more you are responsible for. God expects you to be faithful and to glorify Him. “From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more.” (Luke 12:48).
