The 10 Commandments Hyperlink Episode (E15) — Sometimes at the close of a series, we'll dig through the podcast archives to find clips that discuss similar ideas from a different perspective. In this 10 Commandments series, we explored how trusting in God's wisdom leads to true life and flourishing, while building lives on our own terms often leads to pain. So in this hyperlink episode, we'll listen to three clips that explore this theme further. First, Jon and Tim break down the literary structure of the stories surrounding the 10 Commandments, which highlight humanity's reluctance to wait on God's commands. Second, Jon, Tim, and former BibleProject scholar Carissa Quinn look at how the golden calf story in Exodus 32 relates to the 10 Commandments. And finally, Jon, Tim, and Carissa discuss how all of the Bible's poems, narratives, laws, and letters are wisdom for us. CHAPTERS The Literary Structure of Exodus 19-24 (0:00-11:32) Obeying God on Our Terms (11:32-31:10) Commandments in a Modern Context (31:10-47:10) REFERENCED RESOURCES Find the 10 Commandments full collection of resources here.

Suffering. Grief. Disappointment. Loss. Any one of these can shake us to our core. So how are we supposed to trust God when everything seems to go wrong? On this episode, Anne Graham Lotz (daughter of Billy Graham) and her daughter, Rachel-Ruth Lotz Wright, walk through the story of Joseph—a man who experienced betrayal, false accusation, and unfair circumstances that turned his life upside down. So how did Joseph remain steadfast in his faith? Anne and Rachel-Ruth explain how God's presence brings peace even in life's deepest pits. You'll discover why suffering is never wasted and how God uses even our hardest seasons to guide us, grow us, and bring about His greater purpose.

As we continue our More Wisdom, More Life series, Pastor Joe explores Proverbs 18:21 and the incredible power of words. He reminds us that our words reveal what is happening in our hearts and have the ability to bring either life or death to those around us. Through the story of the prodigal son, we discover the life-giving words God speaks over us: “I see you,” “I love you,” “I forgive you,” and “come home.” When those truths fill our hearts, our words can become a source of healing, encouragement, and life for others.

THIS IS A SEASON TO TRUST GOD • Sunday Service To give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give Website: www.PastorTodd.org The Freedom Found in Surrender One of the greatest battles every believer faces is the battle for trust. We want answers. We want timelines. We want clarity. We want to know how everything is going to work out. Yet God often calls us to walk by faith before He reveals the full picture. I believe we are in a season where the Lord is teaching His people to trust Him at a deeper level than ever before. Not trust in circumstances. Not trust in governments. Not trust in our own understanding. But trust in Him. The beautiful reality is that trust produces freedom. When you truly trust God, you stop carrying burdens you were never designed to carry. Point 1: Trust Releases Divine Direction Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.” Point 2: Trust Removes Anxiety Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV) “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Point 3: Trust Allows God to Carry the Weight Psalm 55:22 (NKJV) “Cast your burden on the Lord, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.” Point 4: Trust Produces Stability Isaiah 26:3 (NKJV) “You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.” Point 5: Trust Unlocks God's Strength Isaiah 40:31 (NKJV) “But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles.” Point 6: Trust Frees Us from Fear Psalm 56:3-4 (NKJV) “Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You. In God I will praise His word, In God I have put my trust; I will not fear.” Point 7: Trust Opens the Door to God's Provision Matthew 6:31-33 (NKJV) “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?' or ‘What shall we drink?' or ‘What shall we wear?'… But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Point 8: Trust Is Developed Through Trials Romans 5:3-5 (NKJV) “And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope.” Point 9: Trust Brings Rest Hebrews 4:9-10 (NKJV) “There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.” Point 10: Trust Leads to Freedom John 8:31-32 (NKJV) “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Closing I believe one of the greatest invitations God is extending to His people right now is simple: Trust Me. Trust Me with your future. Trust Me with your family. Trust Me with your finances. Trust Me with your ministry. Trust Me with the unanswered questions. Trust Me with the things you cannot fix. The enemy wants you burdened, worried, anxious, and exhausted. But Jesus said in Matthew 11:28, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” There is incredible freedom available right now. Freedom from fear. Freedom from striving. Freedom from anxiety. Freedom from needing to control everything. The more you trust God, the more freedom you will experience. And perhaps the greatest lesson you'll ever learn is this: You don't have to carry what God has already promised to carry for you. Trust Him. He's faithful. He's good. And He's already working on your behalf.  

If you want to give through Grace Church you can do so here: https://pushpay.com/g/grace-alone?src=hpp&r=monthlyStories of Struggle: The Pathway Through is a 10-week series where we look at real people in Scripture who faced fear, rejection, waiting, and more—and how God led them through. Discover how He meets us in our struggles and leads us forward with faith, courage, and purpose.To Learn more about Grace Church go to https://gracechurchco.com/This video, led by Paul Faust at Grace Church, is part of a series titled "Stories of Struggle: The Pathway Through." It explores the theme of turning inadequacy into opportunity by examining the life of Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus.Key Themes and Lessons from Joseph's Life:God Chooses the Faithful: Contrary to the idea that Joseph was just an "extra" in the Christmas story, the message emphasizes that God specifically chose him to raise Jesus. The takeaway is to be faithful with what God has already placed in your hands (12:46 - 13:13).Joseph's Character:Joseph was poor and likely felt the weight and shame of not being able to provide luxury, yet he remained obedient (14:36 - 17:59).He was righteous and compassionate, choosing to protect Mary rather than shame her when he learned of her pregnancy (21:18 - 25:00).He was committed to godly habits, ensuring his family participated in customs and rituals, creating a home where following God was normal (29:40 - 35:31).Becoming a Person God Trusts:Offer stability and protection to the vulnerable: Joseph prioritized the safety of Mary and Jesus over his own plans (35:54 - 44:00).Respond quickly to God's guidance: The narrative highlights how Joseph repeatedly acted upon divine direction (e.g., fleeing to Egypt, returning to Israel) without hesitation (46:39 - 50:13).Trust God with reputation and legacy: Even when Jesus stayed behind in the temple at age 12, Joseph displayed humility, accepting his role and continuing to lead his family (50:15 - 56:15).Core TakeawayInstead of worrying about large, world-changing tasks, the message encourages viewers to focus on their current responsibilities—marriage, children, work, and community—and remain faithful in the mundane. Paul Faust concludes that by being faithful with what is right in front of us, we can witness incredible things and be part of God's greater plan (1:04:41 - 1:05:38).0:00 - Introduction & Welcome0:41 - Grace Kids Extreme Recap5:12 - Celebrating Grace Kids Ministry Stats7:06 - Series Intro: Stories of Struggle7:43 - Personal Story: Dealing with Inadequacy11:06 - Introducing Joseph: The Father of Jesus12:32 - What kind of man did God choose?14:36 - Joseph was poor21:18 - Joseph was righteous and compassionate29:40 - Joseph was committed to godly habits35:31 - How to become a person God trusts35:54 - Offer stability and protection to the vulnerable46:39 - Respond quickly to God's guidance50:15 - Trust God with reputation and legacy56:15 - Living faithfully in the mundane1:05:38 - Call to Salvation1:08:53 - Closing Song: Abide

What usually keeps you from surrendering it to Him?As we are reminded that the Christian life is not freedom from affliction, but confidence that Jesus will deliver us fully in the end. How does that challenge the way you normally think about hardship, suffering, or unanswered prayer?

God's Word shows fathers exactly what children must learn. Being the dad God wants you to be is a tough job, but Scripture provides a clear roadmap for training the next generation. God gives timeless principles for spiritual leadership that apply to every home, every generation, and every believer responsible for influence. These are foundational truths that shape how children understand God, handle fear, make decisions, and develop spiritual stability.Key Takeaways:• Courage over fear — Trust God instead of being controlled by circumstances • Love for God — Develop personal devotion and spiritual motivation • Reverence for God — Respect His authority through His Word • Obedience in decisions — Choose God's way and accept consequences⬇Download Transcript: https://rhem.pub/1087-transcript

This sermon on 2 Thessalonians encourages believers to remain faithful to Jesus during persecution, hardship, and uncertainty by growing in their faith in God and love for others. Paul reminds the church that God is just, will ultimately bring justice to evil, and that Christians can trust His goodness and sovereignty while awaiting Christ's return. The message concludes by urging believers not to be distracted by fear, speculation, or deception about the end times, but instead to stand firmly in the truth, share the Gospel, and live ready for Jesus' return.

Pastor Garry Clark continues his series on a Christian America with the strong message, "The Freedom To Trust God," as seen from Thomas Jefferson's perspective!

Topics:  Jesus/Red Letter/Black Letter, Breaking Animal News, Monopoly, Honorary Doctorate, Prayer For Pets, World Cup, Father's Day, Suffering, Sick Burns of the Bible, your Brain, Hotcake, What You Need (Buc-ee's), Shock Jock, Trust God, Your Job, Unresolved Stories, He Knows You     Quotes: "There are a lot of stories that aren't gonna be resolved until everything's made new." "He knows me better than I know myself. He still loves me." "Jesus holds scripture in extremely high regard." "There's a thing about faithfulness, quiet faithfulness that doesn't get highlighted." "Pretty much everyone suffers. Not everybody learns from it."

Is there a decision you’ve been avoiding because you’re afraid of getting it wrong? How long have you been waiting for certainty before taking a step? Here’s the problem: Certainty rarely comes before obedience. When you make a choice, you stand a chance of being wrong, and who likes being wrong? I’ve never met a single person who enjoys being wrong. Because of our fear of being wrong, we’re often stuck in indecision. Who am I talking to today? Who’s sitting in indecision today, hiding behind a pile of choices because it’s safe to stay there? The truth is, this is an area of great frustration and confusion for many. MAKING A CHOICE is hard to do. And because you fear making the wrong choice, you avoid choosing and thus you stay STUCK. Here’s the question: Is it actually better to be stuck than to be wrong? What if staying stuck is the greater mistake? God isn’t always clear with his direction. I’ve confused what I wanted with what God was leading me toward and it’s taken me down the wrong path. How about you? I’ve cleaned up plenty of messes following wrong choices. But wow did I learn a lot in the process. Looking back, I ask if it would have been better to do nothing? Would it have been better to sit and wonder for a few more years? How many opportunities would I have missed as I waited for that clear sign? My daughters might have spent their entire childhood in that orphanage if I’d demanded absolute certainty before adopting. I’d probably still be in a career that drained the life out of me. I’d still be living somewhere I didn’t want to live, wondering if full-time travel was possible. This podcast might still be sitting in a notebook instead of reaching people today. I would still be stewing over how to make that first retreat work, instead of stepping into retreat 111 next weekend. I bet the same is true for you. You would probably still be waiting to have that first baby, unsure if you were really ready to raise a tiny human being, huh? That career move was risky, but it worked out didn’t it? It’s all working out, even when it was uncertain. Even when you didn’t know what you were doing. Even when you never felt ready. But that first step in faith has brought you further than you ever imagined. There were things you were seeking God for and you never did get that crystal clear answer, but you showed up and did your best instead of sitting in the corner … and aren’t you glad you did? Aren’t you glad you tried? Here’s another question – can God handle our wrong choices? Absolutely. Our mistakes have never been bigger than his sovereignty. He is constantly moving among us to work all things together for good … even our bad moves and wrong turns. If God can hold the universe together, don’t you think he can redirect a missed opportunity? If he can number the hairs on your head, don’t you think he can guide your next step? Isn’t God that big? Isn’t he that powerful? Stop putting him in a box assuming your uncertainty has confused or limited him. God is not limited. God is not stuck. God cares about our choices. Some choices carry consequences, and some paths are wiser than others. But our mistakes are not bigger than God’s ability to redeem, redirect, and restore. Psalms 23:3 tells me “He guides me along the right paths for his name's sake.” He guides ME. Say that with me. HE GUIDES ME. HE GUIDES ME. HE GUIDES ME. Do you believe that? God is guiding you … if you’re seeking him. God is guiding you … if you’re willing to actually follow him. God is guiding you … if you’re refusing to stay stuck in indecision. Are you calling on God for his guidance? Are you seeking his will? GREAT. Then don't be so afraid to make a choice. If you are genuinely seeking him and your heart’s desire is his will above your own, then trust that he will hold true to his word and he will guide you along the right path. However, if you’re not seeking God, you’re likely to get yourself into so many more messes than necessary. If you’re impulsive and led by desires of your flesh over desires of the Spirit within you, get ready for some ditches and trenches. Deep in those ditches and there in those trenches you will undoubtedly learn it would have been far better to pray about it before you jumped into it. Honey, God will still meet you there. And if you take a wrong turn? God isn’t standing there wringing his hands, wondering what to do next. He’s already making a way forward. Who else thought they’d be further along by now? Who else is wondering why the journey is taking so much longer than expected? Me too. Looking back, I can see a few wrong turns and a few unnecessary detours. But I can also see God’s faithfulness in every mile. Somehow, even the roads I wouldn’t have chosen taught me something valuable and brought me closer to where he was leading me all along. So maybe the answer isn’t to obsess over every turn. Maybe it’s to trust the Guide and enjoy the journey. I often pray for doors of opportunity to be opened, but even more often I pray for doors to be closed if they're the wrong doors. I ask for God to lock ‘em up, dead bolt them, seal ‘em tight if I'm not supposed to go through them because I know this much after 50 years of life … if it's not what God wants for my life, I really don't want it either. That’s a powerful prayer. God, if it’s not what you want, I DON’T WANT IT EITHER. Lord, if you’re in it, I want it. If you’re not, I don’t. That all sounds good, doesn't it. I bet you can agree with me so far. But what does that really look like in real life? What do locked doors look like? Sometimes a locked door looks like failure. It looks like the opportunity disappearing. The contract falling through. The promotion going to someone else. The relationship ending. The answer being no. And maybe—just maybe—that isn’t God’s absence. Maybe it’s God’s guidance. GOD GUIDES ME. He is guiding you, honey. I can look back over the past years of my life and see clearly all the closed doors I prayed for. I had some really big ideas that fell flat, and some hopeful situations that never quite panned out. And you know what that was? Upon first glace it looks like disappointment. It looks like setback. But the truth is, that was God faithfully guiding my family. But it kinda sucks when you're going through it. And it sucks so bad most of us just decide to never make a move or dare to change. We won't try the new flavor because what if it's wrong and what if it's a major disappointment. We won’t make a choice and say what we really want because what if it doesn’t work out? You are called to be guided, not certain. Certainty doesn’t require faith. If you can see every step, know every outcome, and eliminate every possibility of failure, you don’t need faith at all. Hebrews 11:6 says, “Without faith it is impossible to please God.” God never promised certainty. He promised guidance. Faith is taking the next step when you don’t have all the answers. Faith is moving forward when the outcome isn’t guaranteed. Faith is trusting that God is leading even when you can’t see the entire path. But sitting in indecision, refusing to move until every risk is removed and every question is answered—that isn’t faith. That’s a demand for certainty. And God didn’t call you to certainty. He called you to seek and trust his guidance. God is a master at redemption. He can turn wrong turns into wisdom, mistakes into growth, and setbacks into stepping stones. Nothing is wasted when it’s placed in his hands. Stop waiting for certainty that may never come. Seek God. Trust God. Make the decision. Take the step. Walk through the open door. And if you stumble along the way, trust that the same God who guides your path is more than capable of redirecting it. God is guiding you. Remember this, you are called to be guided, not certain. Seek and trust his guidance. Take that next step in faith.

In this week's video, we will discuss how to trust God even when it is hard to, how Jesus tells us to trust Him, how to not be anxious, how to not worry about the future, and more!

What if the reason you're stuck isn't your food plan... but the direction you're following? In today's episode, I'm sharing a powerful lesson that came to me while watching my son play baseball—one that has everything to do with your mindset, your faith, and the way you navigate challenges in midlife. So many women are trying to lose weight, improve their health, balance their hormones, and create lasting change, yet they feel exhausted from trying to figure everything out on their own. We want the entire roadmap before we take the next step. But what if God never intended us to carry that burden? In this encouraging conversation, I explore a simple but profound picture of what it means to live with daily dependence on Christ instead of relying on self-protection, self-direction, and striving. If you've been wondering how to change your mindset, quiet the pressure, and move forward with more peace and confidence, this episode is for you. You'll walk away encouraged to trust God with the next play instead of trying to control the entire game. Ready for support from women walking a similar journey?

What do you do when you're facing a crisis and God seems silent? In John 4:42–54, a desperate father comes to Jesus seeking help for his dying son. Instead of an immediate sign, Jesus gives him a word—and the man must decide whether to trust it. This message explores how God grows our faith in the space between His promise and our miracle. Discover how to trust God when circumstances are uncertain, prayers seem unanswered, and all you have is His Word.

Motion Church | Victor, Week 2: "Control" Continuing the Victor series, this week zeroes in on one of the biggest differences between a victim mentality and a victor mentality: how each one thinks about control. The core truth up front: "Did you know that you can be the victim of a circumstance and still come out victorious?" The key is understanding what you do and don't have control over — and who holds the rest. Victims live as if they have no control over anything. And honestly? That's the easier way to operate. "If you're not in control of anything, then you can blame everybody else." No accountability required. Victors, on the other hand, understand something different — "they aren't in control of everything, but they do have some control, and it's just that subtle difference that makes all the difference." More importantly, victors "know the one who is in control, and they trust him." When things are genuinely out of your hands — circumstances that are just plain "above your pay grade" — a victor's response isn't denial or blame. It's trust. "God, I don't understand this, but I trust you. I trust your character. I trust your track record." This week digs into God's response to Job in chapters 37-39 — one of the most powerful passages in all of scripture on the subject of who's actually running things. "Who shut up the sea behind doors... This far you may come, and no further. Here is where your proud waves halt." The God who told the ocean where to stop, who laid the foundations of the earth, who stretched a measuring line across the universe — that's the one we're trusting when life is out of our control. "He is the one in all of his creative authority... and that's the one that I'm going to trust." And from all of that comes confidence — not the arrogant kind, but the kind that shows up when your faith is bigger than your circumstances. "Confidence doesn't mean that we are fully in control of everything, but we are trusting in the one who is." Like a son watching his dad jump off a river rock and then taking the leap himself — "He's already there. And so he just goes blank for a second... and he did it." That's the picture. "I don't know what it's going to feel like when I land. But somebody went before me. My father went before me. He's there waiting on me." The message lands here: "Control what you can control. Trust God in what you cannot control. I will control what I can control, and I will trust you with the rest. That's what it means to be a victor."

Listen to David's closing words in Psalm 4, verse 8:In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe.David had many days and nights where his enemies were stalking, seeking to harm him. Living under threat, confessing that he would fully depend on God to protect him while he slept in peace was a strong statement of faith.Is there a situation in your life right now that feels like a stalking enemy, seeking to harm you?You believe in your head that God is capable of keeping you safe?Can you confess that belief out loud to yourself and to God, just like David did?Trust God with your safety and security. Let your heart find peace.Pray:“Father, grant me Your peace as I lie down and sleep, for You alone, Lord, will keep me safe.”AS ABOVE, SO BELOW.AMEN.

As we continue our More Wisdom, More Life series, Pastor Zach explores Proverbs 20:1 and challenges us to consider what has influence over our hearts and decisions. He reminded us that wisdom begins when we recognize the things that compete for our attention, affection, and trust. While many things in life can be good gifts from God, they become dangerous when they begin to control us. Through Christ, we can find the freedom to live under God's leadership and experience the life he designed for us.

Today, we'll hear from FBC's Children's Minister, Abraham Leonard, as he preaches a sermon from John 6 entitled "Trust God."

What do you do when God gives you a promise but you can't see any evidence that it's happening?In this faith-building message, Pastor Travis Jones walks through the story of Noah from Hebrews 11 and reveals what it looks like to trust God when the results aren't visible yet.Noah spent decades building an ark before seeing a single drop of rain. His story reminds us that real faith isn't just believing God exists - it's obeying God when the outcome hasn't arrived yet.If you're walking through a difficult season, waiting on a breakthrough, battling discouragement, or wondering if God is still working behind the scenes, this message will strengthen your faith and encourage you to keep building.Pastor Travis Jones is the lead pastor of Motivation Church in Richmond, Virginia, which he planted alongside his wife, Brittany.

Send us Fan MailHope gets hardest right where you need it most, when the bills stack up, grief keeps returning, or you feel judged by people who should understand. Saint Marguerite d'Youville doesn't offer a tidy answer. She offers a life that proves “hope against hope” is possible, and that Christian faith can stay steady even when everything looks like it's falling apart.We walk through her true story: born in 1701 in Quebec, marked early by loss and poverty, trapped in an unhappy marriage, then widowed young and left with debt and children to raise, including the heartbreak of losing four of them. Instead of turning bitter, she turns outward. Her radical trust in divine providence becomes practical charity, and that charity grows into the Grey Nuns, the Sisters of Charity of Montreal, serving the sick, the poor, the elderly, and the forgotten.Along the way, we unpack the spiritual engines of her endurance: a Eucharistic heart shaped by Mass and adoration, Marian devotion grounded in the rosary and surrender, and “holy abandonment” that releases control without giving up on love.

Do you ever feel tired and empty, going through the motions but not really connecting? Are you waiting on God and not seeing his goodness?Pastor Barbie's teaching resonates with people who find it hard to stay motivated and those who feel like they are just going through the motions of their faith. Maybe there are some days, you don't want to be open or take a step forward. Sometimes, you can't see God's goodness in your life.Instead of pretending or hiding, think about Jesus. Pay attention to what he has done instead of what distracts or pulls you down. You're surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses and a family by your side, ready to pray, support, and walk with you during tough times.Scriptures ReferencedMatthew 7:7-8, 23:37; Hebrews 10:35-39, 12:1-3Key InsightsWe don't have to see what's next.

When faced with the invitation by Christ to drop everything and following Him, the disciples immediately left everything and follow Him. As humans it is natural to wonder about the future. Will we have what we need? What will the future look like? Unknowns can create anxiety, but when we learn to trust Christ, even the unknowns are blessed. When we trust God, He will always have our back. Learn to trust God and leave anxiety behind.
