My heart is filled with longing for your laws at all times…LORD, I call out to you with all my heart (Psalm 119:20, 145). One more reflection on Psalm 119. Via this Psalm we have explored what it might mean that David was 'a man after God's own heart' (Acts 13:22). We have looked at four things that may have caused God to describe him this way: obedience, humility, integrity and worship. Today, something that brings these different things together. Not something at the top of the list, but something, pardon the pun, that lies at the heart of the matter. Years ago, I read a book called, When Did We Start Forgetting God? It argues that Christians talk a lot about God and do lots of things for God, but we have, in large part, forgotten him. It suggested that a church that has not forgotten God exhibits one principal characteristic: a desire for God—a desire so intense it sometimes looks like drunkenness or even madness. That is what is missing in much of Christendom today. We have lost our desire for God. It is easier for us to be doing things for God and to be talking and yes, preaching and preparing devotions about God, than to fan into flame a desire for him. If you doubt me, listen to David, "You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water" (Psalm 63:1). "One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple" (Psalm 27:4). We see this in the New Testament where, Paul writes, "Everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ and become one with him" (Philippians 3:8-9). I could go on. There are many other examples of this in the Bible. They are rooted in the summary of the law as Jesus gives it, "You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength" (Mark 12:30). I hinted at this in my previous devotions. But I think that any reflections on what it means to be a person after God's own heart that does not ponder this, a deep desire for God, falls short. It is this longing for him, that causes God to describe David this way. If someone were to ask you, 'What do you want more than anything?" Would you answer simply, "God!"? I'm not sure many of us Christians would answer that way. Our desires wander so easily. Thus, I invite you to pray for yourself, pray for your church leaders, pray for the church, that the Holy Spirit would fill us with the desire that filled David. As you journey on, go with the blessing of God: "May God himself, the God who makes everything holy and whole, make you holy and whole, put you together—spirit, soul, and body—and keep you fit for the coming of our Master, Jesus Christ. The One who called you is completely dependable. If he said it, he'll do it" (1 Thessalonians 5:23).

In this episode of Youth Ministry Unscripted, Isaiah Marshall, Josh Hussung, Danny Kwon, and Becca Heck wrestle with how to teach holiness without drifting into guilt, shame, or moralism. Grounded in Scripture, the conversation reframes holiness not as behavior modification, but as a joyful, relational response to the gospel. The hosts explore how youth ministries can unintentionally slip into legalism, how to speak about sin without leaving students feeling hopeless, and how relational discipleship creates space for grace, confession, and growth. With honesty, humor, and pastoral wisdom, this episode offers youth leaders practical ways to model holiness anchored in Christ's finished work, not performance. Scripture & Themes ReferencedLeviticus 11:44 – “Be holy, for I am holy”1 Peter 1:16 – Holiness as a call rooted in God's characterIsaiah 6 – God's holiness and moral perfectionMatthew 5–7 (Sermon on the Mount) – Holiness of heart, not just behavior1 Thessalonians 5:14 – Responding differently to the idle, weak, and discouragedRelational Discipleship – Walking with students over time, not managing behaviorGospel-Centered Holiness – Living from acceptance, not for acceptanceBiggie Size Your Grace in the Pursuit of Holiness by Andy CornettDiscipling Teenagers in the Meaning of the Law by Chelsea Kingston Erickson

In verses 4 and 5 of chapter 3, Paul continues to express his concern for the Thessalonians. He notes the spiritual danger they may face when “the tempter” seeks to destroy their faith.

Send us your feedback — we're listening“Psalm 91:5 — Jesus, Strengthen My Thoughts When the Day Begins to Press In” Thessalonians 3:16 — “May the Lord of peace Himself give you peace at all times…” THEME (PT-BR): estresse do dia • pensamentos pesados • força espiritual • clareza divina - Live from London, England with Reverend Ben Cooper • Brasil • Moçambique • Índia • EUA • Cabo Verde Psalm 91:5 (NIV): “You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day.” 2 Thessalonians 3:16 (NIV): “Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace at all times and in every way.” Jesus, as the day begins to gather speed and responsibilities start to rise, I bring my thoughts before You. Many people across Brazil and the Portuguese-speaking world wake into a rhythm that quickly becomes pressured — worries about work, family, decisions, finances, or expectations that feel heavy before the morning has even settled. But Your word reminds me that I do not need to fear what comes by day, because Your peace meets me in every hour. O Senhor me fortalece. You steady my thoughts, quiet the tension, and breathe calm into the places where stress tries to rule. Lord, strengthen my mind so it does not spiral into worry. Give me clarity, focus, and a steady spirit that does not collapse under the weight of the day. Let my decisions today rise from peace, not panic. Let my reactions be shaped by confidence, not fear. And let the presence of Jesus anchor my inner world so deeply that no external pressure steals the calm You give. Fill my morning, afternoon, and evening with clarity from Your Spirit. Remind me that You walk beside me, carrying what feels too heavy and giving strength where mine runs thin. Jesus, bring peace into my pace, courage into my steps, and light into my thinking so I face this day with hope. oração da manhã Brasil, força espiritual no dia, salmo 91 para ansiedade, clareza mental em Jesus, oração para começar o dia, paz para pensamentos pesados, esperança para o dia, proteção espiritual Psalm 91 daytime prayer, Brazil devotional, Portuguese Christian prayer, anxiety daytime help, Jesus peace, Reverend Ben CooperSupport the showFor more inspiring content, visit RBChristianRadio.net — your home for daily devotionals, global prayer, and biblical encouragement for every season of life.

A alma deseja descanso. Tonight, You offer not only rest but renewal — a quiet restoration that reaches deeper than exhaustion and steadies the thoughts that have been stretched thin. Let Your peace settle gently over every home, every family, every tired soul preparing to sleep. Lord, speak calm into the mind that keeps replaying worries. Lift the one who feels worn from responsibility. Strengthen the person who has prayed throughout the day for clarity, direction, or simply a moment to breathe. Your promise of life, hope, and salvation tells us that the story is not finished, that tomorrow is held securely in Your hands, and that You restore what feels depleted. As the night deepens, let Your presence be a quiet reassurance. Que a paz de Cristo renove o coração. Let tired emotions find steadiness. Let anxious thoughts loosen their grip. Let every listener discover that rest is not only physical but also spiritual — a sacred stillness where courage grows again, hope rises gently, and joy slowly returns. Jesus, renew strength for the day ahead and pour peace into the atmosphere of every room, every home, every heart listening now. oração da noite brasil, salmo 91 descanso, esperança para amanhã, Jesus renova forças, paz interior brasil, restauração emocional, oração antes de dormir, consolo espiritual Psalm 91 Brazil prayer, Portuguese Christian devotional, night prayer Brazil, Jesus renew strength, Reverend Ben CooperSupport the showFor more inspiring content, visit RBChristianRadio.net — your home for daily devotionals, global prayer, and biblical encouragement for every season of life.

As headlines warn that artificial intelligence could upend jobs, industries, and even human identity, Jase, Al, and Zach take a sober look at why the AI age feels so apocalyptic. From stock market panic to viral deepfakes and doomsday predictions, the guys acknowledge that massive cultural shifts are coming. But instead of giving in to a tailspin of fear, they pivot to Revelation and the steady promise that no technological revolution can dethrone Jesus.

Psalm 43 Isaiah 38:10-14,17-20 Psalm 65 1 Thessalonians 5:4-5 Prayer Requests to psp@sqpn.com

What Is the Thessalonian Error in 2 Thessalonians? In this episode, we explain the “Thessalonian error”—the fear that believers are already in the Day of the Lord when, in fact, they are not. Walking through 2 Thessalonians 1–2, you'll see how Paul comforts the Thessalonian church during persecution and corrects false teaching that the Day of the Lord's judgment/wrath had already begun. Key Theme: Day of the Lord Has Not Come Yet Paul affirms the Day of the Lord will come, but he insists it has not arrived because specific prophetic events must occur first. This matters because confusion about end-times timelines can produce unnecessary panic and spiritual despair—exactly what Paul confronts in his letter. Antichrist's Great Tribulation vs. God's Wrath A major focus is the biblical distinction between the Antichrist's Great Tribulation (targeting Israel and the church) and the Day of the Lord's wrath (targeting the ungodly world). You'll learn why these are two separate events, and how Jesus returns to cut short the Antichrist's persecution, rapture the church, and only then does God pour out His eschatological wrath.

Are You a Part of What God Is Doing in Our Country Today? Do You Seek God's Presence in Your Life? MESSAGE SUMMARY: Can you tell what God is up to in the World, in our time, in our church, and in America? Are you a part of what God is doing in the world today, or are you just reacting to what God is doing, thereby, creating conflict and division? Psalms 105 reminds you of God's power in the world if you do seek His presence in your life: “Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually! Remember the wondrous works that he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he uttered.". On the other hand, Paul, in 1 Thessalonians 1:9, warns you of the implications for not including the presence of Jesus in your worldly considerations: “They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might.”. While the Lord is leading, and directing, it seems that we are wrapped up in our agenda and our way of doing things; therefore, we miss God's presence; and we miss the Holy Spirit in our lives.      TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, everything in me resists following you into the garden of Gethsemane to fall on my face to the ground before you. Grant me the courage to follow you all the way to the cross, whatever that might mean for my life. And then, by your grace, lead me to resurrection life and power. In Jesus' name, amen.   Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 100). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Loneliness. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Presence. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Matthew 5:6; Matthew 5:10; Psalms 112:1-6; Psalms 119b:13-24.

"He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it." 1 Thessalonians 5:24   

The Discipline of the Lord (Hebrews 12:5-11) For Believers, discipline is NOT PUNITIVE but redemptive (corrective, protective) Motive: God's Love: Hebrews 12:6; 1 John 2:2 The discipline of the Lord (correction) can “feel like” punishment. (Hebrews 12:11) (Remember and Trust God's motives. This will be tested! Hebrews 12:5b: rebuke: address inappropriate actions, words, attitudes. Blessings of God's Correction: Hebrews 12:7-11 Love, honor, treasures His child Preserved life (Hebrews 12:9) Partakers of benefits of holiness (1 Timothy 4:8; 1 Timothy 6:6) Holiness: set apart to the Lord and separated from the evil one; the flesh, the world's values, and ways of thinking, speaking, choosing The Holy Spirit is the Agent of conviction of our sin: (John 16:8,9) Our sin's root is our unbelief: i.e: fear (2 Timothy 1:7; 1 John 4:16-18) Anxiety: (Philippians 4:4-7) The heart of God is that our discipline, correction is centered in our internal direction and correction! (The heart is “control center” of our lives!) [Proverbs 4:23, Matthew 15:18, 19] “Godly Sorrow”: true repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10, 11) [Recognize how our choices affect the offended and turn away!] If we won't listen and take corrective action internally, God may allow/direct correction from the “outside”. Hindrance from the enemy: if we engage in viewing, thinking, acting in line with the devil's territory, he will start operating in our space. (Spiritually illegal but given access by our cooperation or negligence) (Ephesians 4:27) This interference from the enemy can take various forms, i.e. physical, mental/emotional, relational, financial, etc. (1 Thessalonians 2:18; James 5:15) (Just because we are attacked by the enemy doesn't necessarily mean we are “out of order” in our relationship, fellowship with the Lord!) ASK THE LORD WHERE THE ISSUE IS! The Relationship Between Correction/Discipline and the spiritual law of Sowing and Reaping (Galatians 6:7-9) God's Grace to intervene (bring out) and to sustain (bring through) won't allow us to sink or skip the process! Withdrawn intimacy, distance; turbulence in relationships, resources, etc. Corrective words and action from others (2 Timothy 4:2) Correction from authority: Spiritual Leadership Home: leadership team – position of loving leadership, protection, “line drawing” (Ephesians 5:6) Church: Shepherds (servant leaders, feeders, protectors, overseers) (2 Timothy 4:2, John 10 – His voice by His word) Workplace order: (Ephesians 6:5-8) Legal Authority: (Romans 13:1-5) REMEMBER: His correction is from a heart of Perfect Love, for our benefit! (Hebrews 12:6, 10) ✸FAITH is in my spirit. It doesn't come from my mind. Faith in my spirit requires exercise to grow! (Mathew 17:20; Luke 17:5,6)

Tutankhamen's tomb unsealed… “For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep.” - 1 Thessalonians 4:15 (NKJV)

“When Paul says, ‘I was afraid, so I sent Timothy,' he was reflecting the heart of God, because at the core of the Christian faith is that God loves up close. And because God loves us up close, we move towards others in love, and sometimes it is your heartfelt worry that prevents us from sliding into apathy.” Pastor Austin continues the Thessalonians sermon series this week looking at 1 Thessalonians 3.

Also a stumbling block that many of us would rather keep in the dark: lust.How many of us have done the work to try and actually understand purity and lust, and how many of us understand the way God sees these things?We see these two contrasting concepts brought up throughout scripture, we must acknowledge they are important, and how God views them.Series: Virtues & VicesSpeaker: Aaron MonesScripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:3-8Timstamps00:00 - Purity06:06 - Why did the ancient Israelites so often make blood sacrifices to God?09:02 - “The wages of sin is death.”11:46 - 1 Thessalonians 4:3-814:00 - 1 Thessalonians 4:316:19 - 1 Thessalonians 4:417:18 - 1 Thessalonians 4:5-620:25 - 1 Thessalonians 4:721:40 - 1 Thessalonians 4:824:58 - Romans 6:2326:52 - The call for us is that same as Paul's call to the Thessalonians church in his letter30:03 - Prayer30:52 - Updates31:45 - Discussion & Prayer Focus#faith #mountainviewchurch #jesuschrist #hope #forgiveness #vices #virtues #purity #lustSupport the show

Over the course of 1 Thessalonians chapter 1 verses 8-10 we see the powerful testimony of faith in Christ. The Lord brings about such a change in lost sinners that they turn from their idolatry and sin to Himself. Then He brings glory to His name both in their salvation and their living as servants to His eternal praise!

In 1 Thessalonians 5:1-5, Paul reminds believers that the “Day of the Lord” is certain, sudden, and inescapable for those living in spiritual darkness. Yet for those in Christ, that day will not catch them unprepared or bring condemnation. As believers, we are called to be ready, living holy lives with confident expectation of the rescue and reward Christ will bring. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

Many Christians today question whether they truly need church community, preferring to consume spiritual content independently. However, examining 1 Thessalonians 5:12-28 reveals that God designed His people to grow together in holiness through committed church relationships. Paul outlines four essential ingredients for healthy church life: proper leadership that provides oversight and instruction, helpful relationships where members actively support each other's spiritual growth, Spirit-filled worship characterized by joy and prayer, and genuine family bonds that go beyond casual acquaintance. True church community requires swimming against our culture's individualistic tendencies to become deeply invested in one another's lives, creating a holy family that demonstrates Christ's love to the world.https://www.ankenyfree.church

Pastor Kurt takes a deep dive into 1 Thessalonians 4:1–12, where Paul calls believers to please God by walking in ongoing holiness. But holiness is not merely avoidance of sin; it is the soil in which we practice love—refusing to harm a brother, abounding in brotherly affection, and living responsibly before others.

For two reasons Paul is confident his work among the Thessalonians was not in vain. Firstly, there was visible evidence of the work of God in their lives. Secondly, and most significantly, they were chosen and loved by God, just as Paul, Silas and Timothy were. The first is the fruit and evidence of the second. For those in Christ, we too can just as sure and certain that our labours in life and faith are not in vain, for we too have been chosen and loved by God. Take a moment to look and see the work of God in your own life and give thanks to him for his grace and love towards you.

Preacher: Daniel Pelichowski

Ep. 432 – Remember the Word of God The Supremacy of Christ Hebrews 13:7-9 In a world filled with spiritual noise, shifting doctrine, and persuasive voices, believers are called to remember, guard, and stand firm in the Word of God. Jesus repeatedly warned that false prophets and false christs would arise to deceive many (Matthew 7:15-16, Matthew 24:4-5, [Matthew 24:24). The apostles echoed that warning, urging the church to watch carefully, test everything, and hold fast to sound doctrine (Acts 20:29, Romans 16:17, 1 Timothy 6:20, 1 Thessalonians 5:21-22). How do we remain steady? 1️⃣ Belief in the Incarnation of Jesus True doctrine begins with the right confession of Christ. Jesus Christ has come in the flesh (1 John 4:2). He is the eternal Word who was with God and is God (John 1:1). To deny the Son is to deny the Father (1 John 2:22-23). Orthodox Christology is not optional — it is essential. 2️⃣ Genuine Regeneration Those who are truly born of God persevere in truth. “He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world” (1 John 4:4). True believers continue in what they heard from the beginning (1 John 2:24). Departure from apostolic truth reveals an unchanged heart (1 John 2:19). Saving faith produces spiritual discernment. 3️⃣ Information from God's Word Truth is not subjective — it is revealed. All Scripture is breathed out by God (2 Timothy 3:16). Men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:21). The safeguard against deception is not charisma, emotion, or novelty — it is Scripture rightly understood and faithfully remembered. Join us as we study how to remain anchored in Christ by remembering and guarding the Word of God.

“Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Why are you crying out to me? Tell the people to get moving! Pick up your staff and raise your hand over the sea. Divide the water so the Israelites can walk through the middle of the sea on dry ground.’” (Exodus 14:15–16 NLT) Ecclesiastes 3 identifies various seasons of life: “A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest. A time to kill and a time to heal. A time to tear down and a time to build up. A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance” (verses 2–4 NLT), to name just a few. In Exodus 14:15–16, we find two more: a time to wait and a time to move. When the Israelites found themselves between Pharaoh’s army and the Red Sea, Moses seems to have misread that particular season of life. He believed it was a time to wait. He continued to cry out to the Lord. God helped him understand that it was a time to move. “Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Why are you crying out to me? Tell the people to get moving! Pick up your staff and raise your hand over the sea. Divide the water so the Israelites can walk through the middle of the sea on dry ground’” (Exodus 14:15–16 NLT). Knowing when to wait and when to move is one of the key aspects of discipleship. Waiting is essential. Waiting involves praying. And the apostle Paul wrote, “Never stop praying” (1 Thessalonians 5:17 NLT). But there comes a point when we don’t need to pray about something anymore. There comes a time when we need to act—that is, in the way that God would have us move. Let’s say a couple is having trouble in their marriage. The husband is praying for his wife to change. But maybe he should change his prayer instead. Maybe he should say, “Lord, help me to be the godly person you want me to be. Help me to do my part.” His wife, of course, needs to pray the same thing. Maybe someone has wronged you or offended you. Maybe they’ve wounded you or insulted you. You want to forgive them. You’ve prayed about it. Now it’s time to do it. It doesn’t matter whether you’re feeling it. Just do it. The emotions most likely will follow when you take that step of obedience. Maybe you’ve been praying for the salvation of a friend or a loved one. You’ve prayed for them for years and years. But have you shared the gospel with them? Maybe it’s their moment to come to Christ. Keep praying but do your part. God was saying to Moses, “Stop crying to me. Stop praying about it. Get moving. The miracle is coming.” When you’re led by the Lord, make your move. There’s a time to pray, and there’s a time to move.

By Gary Smith - In 2 Thessalonians 2, the Apostle Paul exhorts the church not to allow anyone to undermine their faith. He wants them to adhere to what they have been taught. Paul then lays out information about the time of Christ's coming so that have the knowledge to counter more fully the false teaching.
