God is always speaking—through creation and through His Word—and most of us aren't tuned in. The real distance usually isn't a faith gap; it's an attention gap. Psalm 19 is about learning to listen again, and letting what He's said do its work in us.

We want to do God's will, but have we ever submitted ourselves to God's method and timing as well. We think on these things together in Exodus 2:11-15.

Some of the most dangerous problems are the ones we don't even realize we have. In week two of On Time God, we'll explore the older brother in Luke 15 and uncover how it's possible to appear close to God on the outside while being far from His heart on the inside. Whether you feel far from God or like you've “never left,” His grace is available to you.

Ever feel like you've gone too far to come back? In week one of On Time God, we look at Jesus' story in Gospel of Luke 15 and discover a powerful truth: you are not too far gone. Before the Prodigal son could fix anything, his father was already running toward him. That's the heart of God: He meets you right where you are, with grace you don't have to earn and love that never runs out.

Time is our most valuable commodity, so how do we use it in a way that honors God. Pastor Jay teaches us how we can use our time God's way by challenging us to evaluate what is really important and giving our best time to those things.

When a powerful enemy threatened the people and fear spread through the community, it seemed like defeat was inevitable. The situation looked humiliating and hopeless, but everything changed when leadership rose up and courage replaced fear. What appeared to be a certain loss quickly turned into a decisive victory when the people united and took action.This message reminds us that even when circumstances look overwhelming, God can turn the tide in a single moment. What once looked like defeat does not have to define the outcome. When strength, unity, and faith rise up, the battle can shift—and this time, you won't lose.

Hollyview Church sermon from March 8th, 2026. Continuing our series in 1 Chronicles, Marcus Elmer teaches from 1 Chronicles chapter19.

Send a textIf you're in your 40s and quietly wondering if you're behind financially, behind in life, or behind where you thought you'd be, this episode is for you.So many women carry unspoken pressure to hit certain milestones by a certain age: marriage, children, financial stability, a “figured-out” life. And when our lives don't match that picture, it can feel like we missed something or missed God.But what if the timeline you're comparing yourself to didn't come from Scripture… but from society?In this episode of Hustle in Faith, we unpack what the Bible actually shows us about timing, purpose, and becoming, especially later in life. You'll hear powerful biblical examples of men and women God called after waiting, loss, obscurity, and refinement.This is a faith-based reframe for women who feel like they're starting over, redefining success, or being called into something new in midlife.You are not late.You are not behind.You may finally be aligned.If you're navigating singleness, career shifts, financial rebuilding, or a deeper spiritual awakening in your 40s, this conversation will bring clarity, peace, and biblical perspective. Reflection Question: Where did you think you'd be by now—and what is God inviting you to redefine in this season?If this episode encouraged you, share it with another woman who needs the reminder: God's timing is never late.Suggested Episodes:How Christian Women Can Build Confidence Without Compromising Their FaithActivate Your Calling: Create, Build, & Promote Your Gift Workshop Replay Video: https://hustleinfaith.gumroad.com/l/activateSign up to be notified about Faith to Launch Community: https://bit.ly/FaithtoLaunchPlease join me in my YouTube only series, 30 Days to Becoming a Stronger, More Confident You in Christ: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfkkBA4-h1A56MxObeO__s873pdUnnWQ5

Bottom line, don't test God … don't test God … unless … unless … God says, “Test me.” Which God does … only once in the Bible. It's wrong to test God, but it's equally wrong to disobey God if he tells us, explicitly, “Test me.” … Let me show you.

We all know that history is written by the winners. So it seems awfully odd that in a book dedicated to telling us how God (Yahweh, Israel's version) is omnipotent, contains a story where he takes a beating that even a Brown's fan would call embarrassing. Unfamiliar with that story? Don't worry, Bael & Riff can't wait to give you the blow by blow. 

Nobody likes to wait—especially when it feels like your prayers are hitting a ceiling. When you're in a season of waiting, it's easy to feel like God is silent. In this message by Pr Nikki our Acts London Students Pastor, we learn that a delay is not always a denial, and that God has a plan that is far better than what we could imagine.

Fullness of Time | God's Perfect Timing 

Send us a text

The apostle Paul wrote, “But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law” (Galatians 4:4). Today I examine how reason led to an understanding of law by 50 B.C. that was ready for the law to become incarnate. Its the story we need to hear in our day, especially Christian lawyers. It's amazing! And I explain why the story of the person of Jesus is more important than ever.

"Listening is everything. Without listening, there's no music, no art, no understanding—just noise.” (Charlie Peacock, from the episode) Acclaimed musician, producer, podcaster, and author Charlie Peacock joins Mark Labberton to reflect on music, art, attention, listening, faith, and spirituality. From his groundbreaking work in pop music production (e.g., Amy Grant, Switchfoot, the Civil Wars), to his deep engagement with faith and mentorship, Charlie explores how attention shapes creativity, why making space for beauty is a spiritual discipline, and how a life of music can be an act of service. Through stories of artistic risk, collaboration, and calling, this conversation explores the rhythms of a flourishing life. In this episode, they discuss: Charlie's new memoir, Roots and Rhythm: A Life In Music The communal nature of making and producing music The unsung music heroes from Charlie's life Non-neutrality and the interdependence of all things Hearing and visualizing music The intersection of creativity, spirituality, and paying attention, How listening transforms both art and relationships, Life lessons from jazz, pop, and worship music production, And the role of both sound and silence in artistic and spiritual life. About Charlie Peacock Charlie Peacock is a six-time Grammy Award–winning musician and producer, having produced Amy Grant, Switchfoot, the Civil Wars, and many more artists. A three-time recipient of the Gospel Music Association's Producer of the Year Award, he's named by Billboard's Encyclopedia of Record Producers as one of the five hundred most important producers in popular music history. His latest book is Roots and Rhythm: A Life In Music, and you can listen to his podcast, Music & Meaning. For more information visit charliepeacock.com. Episode Highlights "If you're not paying attention, you're missing the song that's already being sung around you." "A mentor doesn't hand you a map; they help you learn how to navigate." "Faith and art are both about trust—trusting the unseen, the unfinished, and the uncertain." "The hardest and best lesson for any artist: keep showing up and doing the work." "Music isn't just a product—it's a means of connection, healing, and worship." Show Notes Charlie Peacock, Roots & Rhythm Music and community The unsung music heroes from Charlie's life Non-neutrality and the interdependence of all things Hearing and visualizing music Michael Polanyi tacit understandings Re-creation of the old into the dramatically new—e.g., Notre Dame Cathedral The joy of generational community Jazz: spirit, skill, and ability “That's what I love about jazz improvisation. There was nothing and then there was something. Over and over again. … When you have those people in a room making music … it's hard to go to sleep at night.” “I have been pursued by a loving Creator … God-haunted since I was a little boy.” “I wanted to know everything. … how, why, what, when … everything.” “Never once was there a moment when I was out of God's grip.” Charlie Peacock's Secret of Time: “God gives you time to be saved.” John Coltrane's spiritual journey “250 people a night…” “I took the F-word out of two songs, and stopped taking 10% from the bar tab.” Hans Rookmaaker Inklings Time in England and the Netherlands, including time at L'Abri (run by Francis and Edith Schaeffer) “An artist and a follower of Jesus, and how those two could be congruent …” “Our death is life to life. The kingdom has already begun. We have been living it. And we will continue to live it.” “Playing with the entire history of music in your brain.” The Civil Wars: “We re-presented hyper-dynamics. … A lot of people have never heard that before. … It invites you in and lets you sit back.” (e.g., pianissimo to forte) Over-compressed music. “That lean in to the music is a part of your participation. … I'm committed to this music.” “I produced music in the ‘80s. I know how to ruin a record. … Big hair and big snare. … But really it had to do with technology.” Music in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s Neil Postman: “To a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail.” “When I use this tool I have to make sure it doesn't use me.” “My subtext is that this is a book about epistemology. … To say, ‘This is how I know what I know.' It came through God, people, and place.” A worker-bee in the music business “Like a house with a party going on” Vocation, epistemology, and how an artists become who they are Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment magazine and Fuller Seminary.

Jesus prays to the Father before His death, a powerful prayer for Himself and His disciples that displays His authority as God. Pull up a front row seat to hear Jesus' prayer for you—a prayer for safety, joy, holiness, and unity—and be encouraged that God always answers His own prayers.

The only time God is given this unique name...

Ephesians 3: 20 - 21

Jeanette interviews Lissa Figgins, a "Recovering Busyness Owner," about Christ-centered strategies to manage time, break free from hustle culture, and steward time as a gift from God. She shares her experience of overcoming busyness and reveals her three pivotal shifts: changing your beliefs about time, stepping into the role of a steward instead of a manager, and focusing on purpose through the question, "What is it time for?" Tune in to learn insights for balancing life, business, and faith while building a God-glorifying, time-redeemed life. Lissa has UN-hurried her heart, breaking free from the addiction to controlling time, multitasking, and constantly "doing." Her God-given mission is to transform the way Christian women business owners approach time, helping them increase their ROI in less time, all for the glory of God. As a coach and teacher, Lissa empowers her clients to steward time as a gift from God, stepping into their role as a C.E.O. (Christ Empowered Operator) of a WITH-God Life + Business. Her message is simple but profound: YOU. HAVE. TIME. Lissa's approach combines faith, purpose, and practical strategies, inspiring women to align their time with God's calling and live a life that reflects His abundance. "Our busyness isn't a disordered calendar—it's a disordered heart." "You have time. God gave you 24 hours today, just like He did yesterday "Multitasking isn't your superpower—it's your kryptonite." The enemy wants us busy and distracted, because then we're no threat to him and no use to the kingdom." With God, there's always an abundant ROI—because He is the supplier and the multiplier." "Stop trying to manage time. Be a steward of it instead."   In this episode:    How to shift your mindset about time and view it as an abundant gift, not a scarcity to manage. How to prioritize with faith at the center and build your schedule around your God-given purpose. How to create margin for the Holy Spirit to leave room in your life for divine interruptions. How to stop multitasking and focus fully on one task at a time to avoid mistakes and wasted effort. How to live as a steward, not a manager, to approach time with gratitude and purpose, just like the parable of the talents.

"The reality is, we see God's goodness all the time—when we wake up in the morning and there's light streaming in through the window and the rains fall and water the earth—there are these things that are happening all the time that we can miss that are displays of God's goodness and his sustaining grace."— Tina Boesch Today's Episode: You won't want to miss today's episode about the amazing goodness of our God!

Firstly, here is a link to John Mark Comer's book: Practicing The Way.Today we covered the idea of "No Accidental Saints" - The path to greater discipleship, apprenticing under Christ, is a distinct and intentional one. But that doesn't mean the hardest working people are the ones who get there. It's about faith. We looked at three losing strategies:1) Willpower (your own ability to try harder)2) More Bible Study (if knowledge is all you get out of it)3) The Zap from Heaven (expecting results without the struggle)Why can't these things work? They seem good enough to get the job done. Well, there are many reasons. But here are two big ones:1) Sin (mine, others, the world - there is just too much need for God's grace)2) You (Ha. You being formed, shaped by habit and others into stories you believe)So what do we do? Well, next week we will dig in on NINE amazing things. But for today, here are five words that represent A Working Theory of Change:1) LEARN - Learn something. Get up everyday expecting to be changed.2) PRACTICE - Be working on something. Have a daily focus of incremental change.3) SHARE - That is, be around people and share with those who want all this too!4/5) GOD and TIME - God is with you and at work on you and in you. You are not alone. Let faith in that sustain you. But God likes to use time. He likes it to take a while, so you can, you know, learn new practices. So relax a little. Don't expect or demand immediate change. God is at work in the struggle over time to greater things.
