When he is finally reunited with the brothers who rejected and betrayed them, he shows mercy and grace and saves them from death.

The Christian Outlook – February 15, 2025

The Book of Hebrews emphasizes Jesus Christ's supremacy and the spiritual rest He offers. Hebrews 4:10 encourages believers to cease from self-driven works and trust in God's grace. Real rest stems from faith in Christ's completed work, freeing us from the pressure of perfection and highlighting our worth through His sacrifice.

Obedience is not always easy, but it is foundational to spiritual growth and God's plan for our lives.Key Themes:The tension between wanting to obey God and the pull of self-interest.The challenge of obeying human authority, especially when leaders are imperfect.Joshua's commands to the Israelites and their response of full submission.The importance of unity and collective obedience in fulfilling God's purposes.Study Notes:1. Joshua's Commands (Joshua 1:10-15)Joshua instructs the people to prepare provisions as they prepare to cross the Jordan.This marks a transition from reliance on supernatural provision (manna) to taking responsibility for their sustenance.The Reubenites, Gadites, and half-tribe of Manasseh are reminded of their duty to help their fellow Israelites claim their inheritance before settling in their own land.This obedience required sacrifice, patience, and trust in God's timing.2. The People's Response (Joshua 1:16-18)The Israelites pledge wholehearted obedience: “We will do, we will go, we will obey.”They affirm Joshua's leadership, recognizing that God is with him as He was with Moses.Their commitment underscores the importance of obedience for spiritual growth and collective success.They recognize that disobedience carries serious consequences.Lessons for Today:Obedience is foundational: It is necessary for spiritual growth, leadership, and God's blessings.Faith and trust are required: Obedience often means stepping into the unknown, trusting God's plans even when they don't align with our expectations.Sacrifice may be necessary: Just as the 2½ tribes had to leave their land and fight for others, we may be called to serve without immediate personal benefit.Encouragement for leaders: The Israelites' obedience strengthened Joshua's leadership—our obedience can encourage those leading us in faith.Reflection Questions:How do you respond when obedience requires sacrifice, patience, or trust?Are there areas in your life where you struggle to submit to authority? How can you align your attitude with biblical principles?What can you learn from the Israelites' willingness to obey wholeheartedly?Final Thought: Obedience may not always be easy, but it is essential. It is the foundation of spiritual growth, the key to effective leadership, and the pathway to God's blessings. May we, like the Israelites, say: “We will do, we will go, we will obey.”Support the showJeremy McCandless is creating podcasts and devotional resources | PatreonHelp us continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

As Naomi returns to Bethlehem, we reflect on friendship, redemption, and the hope in our own unfolding stories.

THE FUTURE IN THE HAND'S OF GOD would give us certainty. But we have to trust that God will only give us that which produces perfect happiness. If we thought God could give nothing other than love, then we would have no apprehension. But we have the fear of the future that we project onto God. This Lesson requires we TRUST in GOD and EXPECT GOOD THINGS to come from the very SOURCE of our BEING.

The Ten Commandments, though ancient, continue to serve as a powerful moral compass on our spiritual journey. In this episode, we explore how these essential Christian principles are not just rules but enduring truths that reach into the heart of human behavior. They urge us to examine our hearts, confront deep-rooted issues, and engage with the profound connections between each commandment. From the first commandment to love God above all else to the commandment of loving your neighbor as yourself, these foundational principles continue to shape our relationships with God and each other.Reflecting on the wisdom of Proverbs and the Gospels, this episode invites you to confront personal brokenness and embrace spiritual healing and redemption at the cross of Calvary.

By opening our hearts to the transformative power of God's love, we experience lasting change. The cross represents not only the sacrifice of Jesus but also the ultimate invitation to experience the freedom that comes with embracing His redemptive grace.Conquering Fear with Faith and Community SupportFear is a natural part of life, but how can we reframe it through the lens of faith? Fear often signals a gap in our trust in God, leading to doubts about His promises and our purpose. What if we could bridge this gap through the power of faith and Christian community? Join us as we explore the dual nature of fear in a believer's life and how the support of a faith-filled community can help overcome personal anxieties.

In this episode of Patriarchy Principles, host Jey Young engages with Dr. Sheila Jackson, an ordained pastor and educator, discussing her transformative journey from a corporate career to global ministry. They explore themes of faith, leadership, and the importance of guiding families in today's complex world. Dr. Sheila shares insights on living faith as a lifestyle, the power of spiritual growth, and the significance of teaching children about God from a young age. The conversation emphasizes the need for patience, love, and trust in God as essential components of effective leadership and parenting. Takeaways Dr. Sheila's journey illustrates the power of faith in making life-changing decisions. Living faith should be a lifestyle, not just a situational response. Patience is essential for spiritual growth and understanding God's timing. Teaching children about God early lays a strong foundation for their faith. Love is a powerful tool in connecting with others and sharing faith. Community and relationships are vital in nurturing spiritual growth. Trusting God means believing in His promises, even when circumstances are challenging. Parents should actively involve their children in faith-based activities.

In this episode, we reflect on Peter's unfortunate boast and Jesus' prediction in Matthew 26:31-35. What can we learn from Peter's errors to avoid similar pitfalls in our walk with Christ? We explore three critical lessons: the danger of judging the future by the past, the pitfalls of spiritual arrogance, and the failure of human confidence. Discover why relying on our own strength can lead to disaster and how humility and trust in God are key to overcoming life's challenges. Let's learn from Peter's stumble so that we may stand firm in faith.

David rises. In this lesson, we explore the rise of David, from his defeating the giant Goliath to his eventual reign as king of Israel. We witness David's unwavering trust in God's power and his numerous military victories. Not only that, but we see David's God-honoring heart, desiring to build a temple for God's presence. God responds with promises in the Davidic Covenant. Later, however, as David's successes grow, so does his pride, leading him to commit grave sins of coveting, adultery, and murder. Confronted by the prophet Nathan, David humbly confesses his sins and seeks God's mercy and forgiveness.Bible Readings1 Chronicles 17Psalm 51Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

In this episode of Beyond Sunday, hosts Michael Shearon, Chaney Guffey, David Rambo, and Paxton Redd discuss The Outpouring giving initiative. They reflect on the recent sermon about Elijah and the Widow of Zarephath, emphasizing the importance of beginning where you are, moving as God leads, and trusting that obedience leads to blessings. Personal testimonies highlight how faith in uncertain moments—whether in finances, career changes, or hardships—has led to God's provision. The guests also share their vision for The Outpouring, from expanding children's ministry to creating more opportunities for young adults and small groups. The hosts address a listener question on how to respond when giving doesn't bring immediate results. They encourage patience, comparing God's timing to a "crockpot" rather than a "microwave," where blessings develop over time. Giving, they stress, should focus on transformation—both personal and within the church—rather than expecting quick returns. The episode concludes with announcements about upcoming mission trips, a special interest night on February 19, and a preview of the next sermon in The Outpouring series. Listeners are encouraged to stay engaged, trust in God's provision, and continue walking in faith.

This new year is an opportunity to believe, hope, and trust in God's power to bring life to what seems lifeless. Let us explore how this vision can guide us in setting resolutions aligned with God's transformative power. Though we typically make resolutions at the beginning of the year, we don't have to wait until the new year. We can start anew at any time.

So, you feel like your back is up against the wall, and there is no way out!Recall the story in the Bible of a man namedJob. If you do, you will read in Chapter 1 how wealthy he is. Then, in Chapter 2, you will read how Job lost everything. Well, just like that, Job lost his wealth, his children, and his health. But did Job give in? No. Did Job give out? No. Job kept his faith in God. In Chapters 3 to 41, Job truly went through the test of a lifetime. Yet he continued to place his trust in God.At the time, Job did not know that he would get it all back, including some.So, when you feel like it's dark and there is no clear view, stop looking around and look up. Do not let go of your faith; God has you.Keep trusting God!Blessings,Presiding Elder Barbara HayesTWFYT | FLSB

For years, Evan struggled with an addiction that kept him from drawing close to God. How can I be worthy of His love? he wondered. So, while he kept going to church, he felt that there was an unbridgeable chasm that kept him separated from God. Yet, whenever Evan prayed earnestly for something, God seemed to answer Him. He also sent people to encourage and comfort him in difficult times. After some years, Evan realized God was constantly pursuing him and showing that He had always loved and cared for him, and that’s when he began to trust in God’s forgiveness and love. “Now, I know that I’m forgiven and can let God draw me close to Him, even though I’m still struggling with my addiction,” he said. Ezekiel 34:11-16 tells us of a God who pursued His people. “I myself will search for my sheep and look after them,” He said, vowing to rescue them and provide for them abundantly (v. 11). This was after their human leaders abandoned them, and they themselves disobeyed their true shepherd (vv.1-6). Whether we’re helpless victims of circumstances or struggling with the consequences of our own sin, God pursues us in love. In His mercy and grace, He draws us back to Him. If you’ve forgotten God, turn back to Him. Then, as He leads, continue to walk with Him each day.

Contact Bryan Barley for coaching at bryan@vothcenter.com.    A man grows in faith:  He matures over a lifetime to live with a “heart” of certainty about God. He knows in his heart that God is always faithful to His promises and is always present in the man's life  He grows in his faith starting with fear, which God gave us to: recognize our need for help hope for an outcome that “saves” me speak our needs face our powerlessness over life express our hopes   By using fear as God intended it to be used (Episodes # 19 and Episode #20), we actually grow our faith, from an infancy to a maturity.    By using our fear to reach out to God with our feelings, needs, desire, longings and hope, we begin to develop a trust in God's presence and action in our lives.   Fear can initiate this equation:  Fear Expresses Hope + Expression of Desire + Risk of Action = Outcomes that Develop Faith   A man needs to grow in:  dependence upon God how God created us how one is uniquely created   As a man (or woman) practices the equation, he finds that “infant” faith grows. In other words, infant faith begins to become “memories” of God's presence in his life.    Through practice over time, a man (or woman) develops a more mature faith that we can call “certainty.”   Infant faith is Hope + Expression of Desire + Risk of Action = Outcomes that Develop Faith.   Maturing faith is having memory of God's presence in the past.   Mature faith is certainty of God's presence even in the most difficult times.   When we feed the roots of the heart (feelings, needs, desire, longings, and hope), we grow the fruits of: living fully loving deeply leading well.    The roots of how God created us are expressed at birth. The APGAR (Episode #2 and Episode #3) speaks to how we come into life with rudimentary faith. We naturally reach for connection, safety, and fulfillment with a desire to grow.   Click here to continue reading the episode highlights. 

Just two months before our wedding, we faced the daunting challenge of finding a home. Discouraged by the scarcity of options and tight finances, we turned to prayer and divine guidance. In a miraculous turn of events, a misplaced piece of paper led us to the perfect rental opportunity, nestled in a gated community with all we desired. This experience reaffirmed our belief in the power of divine guidance and how sometimes, what's meant for us is just waiting to be revealed at the right moment. Our latest episode of the Jamie Luce podcast invites you to explore the transformative power of following divine guidance in every facet of life, from family and marriage to career and spiritual growth. We delve into stories from the Bible, including the Israelites' journey, to highlight the importance of aligning our lives with God's commands. With Jesus' sacrifice granting us direct access to God, embracing His guidance daily becomes a personal responsibility, not just a Sunday ritual. This partnership is like a marriage, requiring unwavering obedience and commitment to walk the path God has laid out for us. Throughout the episode, we emphasize the necessity of cultivating a personal relationship with God by spending time in His word and living according to His covenant. We discuss the dangers of idol worship—whether it's creating false images or idolizing cultural icons—and the significance of prioritizing God above all else. Reflecting on Moses in Exodus 33, we underline the importance of God's presence in reaching our promised land. As we align ourselves with His will, we witness the unfolding of His promises in our lives. Stay connected for future episodes, and I encourage you to seek time with the Lord and follow His guidance as we anticipate our next meeting.

In this week's episode of Your Weekly Calling, Brad explores the powerful example of faithfulness and sacrifice found in the story of Ruth. He begins by reflecting on Ruth 1:16, where Ruth makes a bold and committed declaration: “Where you go, I will go. Where you stay, I will stay. Your people will be my people, and your God, my God.”Brad takes us back to Ruth's context—she was a Moabite widow who, despite the immense loss of her husband, chose to stay with her mother-in-law, Naomi. Ruth's decision to remain with Naomi, rather than return to her own family, was an act of deep loyalty and love. This simple yet profound act of obedience set her on a path that would not only change her life but also reveal God's power to work through everyday faithfulness.Brad challenges listeners to reflect on their own lives and what everyday obedience looks like for them. For example, as we drive to work or engage with others, we can choose to be faithful and obedient in small, seemingly mundane moments. He breaks down Ruth's faithfulness into several key areas:Faithfulness in Relationships: Ruth's loyalty to Naomi was remarkable. Despite Naomi's bitterness and her urging for Ruth to return to her family, Ruth chose love and commitment, stepping into the unknown for the sake of those she cared about. Brad shares his own experience of moving to Minnesota, where his family didn't know anyone but trusted in God's plan despite the uncertainty. He encourages listeners to consider how they can show faithfulness and love to the people God has placed in their lives, even when it's difficult.Faithfulness in Small Steps: Ruth didn't know what her future held, but she took small steps of obedience—working in the fields to provide for Naomi and herself.

He asks, “How can you honor God today in your routine—at work, at home, or in school?”God's Provision: Through Ruth's faithfulness, God orchestrated a beautiful story of redemption. Ruth went on to become the great-grandmother of King David, placing her in the lineage of Christ. Brad reflects on the fact that God can take brokenness, loss, and the mundane and turn it into something extraordinary. He challenges listeners to consider areas in their own lives where they need to trust in God's provision, believing that God is always working behind the scenes for their good.Brad wraps up the episode with a call to action for listeners:Commitment: Reflect on your relationships.

Trust that He sees your efforts, even when they feel unnoticed.Trust in His Timing: Surrender your future to God, trusting that He can use the most ordinary circumstances for His glory. Take one step of obedience in an area where you feel uncertain this week, knowing that God can use even this step to lead you toward His greater purpose.In closing, Brad leads a prayer, asking God to help us be more faithful, just as Ruth was, in our relationships and in our everyday lives. He reminds us that even when the path ahead is unclear, God is always working for our good and His glory.If you were encouraged by Ruth's example of faithfulness, take a moment to reflect on how you can apply these lessons to your own life this week.

Associate Pastor Kenny Dyches continues our brief Winter Wisdom series, preaching on the contrast between worldly wisdom and godly wisdom, using a compelling story about a man who built a successful business but struggled with spiritual emptiness. The man's journey, shaped by a vivid dream and an encounter with a preacher resembling Jesus, highlighted the challenge of surrendering earthly pursuits for true fulfillment in God. Drawing from Proverbs, Pastor Kenny emphasizes that wisdom is not just intellectual knowledge but a lived experience of God, requiring a heart posture of surrender and obedience.He outlines practical steps for obtaining wisdom: receiving, treasuring, inclining one's ear, calling out, and seeking diligently. He stresses that wisdom is cultivated not in isolation but through relationships, community, and submission to God. Using relatable examples and personal anecdotes, Pastor Kenny encouraged the congregation to pursue godly wisdom, trust in God's guidance, and live out their faith in all aspects of life.

This sermon explores Daniel chapter two, focusing on verses nineteen through twenty-three, where Daniel receives and interprets Nebuchadnezzar's dream through divine revelation.

The key takeaway is that God will establish an everlasting kingdom, distinct from human governments. The sermon also metaphorically describes the church as 'God's embassy on earth,' emphasizing its role in representing God's kingdom, providing spiritual refuge, and encouraging believers to act as ambassadors of God's will. Finally, the speaker urges the congregation to trust in God's control and become proactive in sharing the message of God's kingdom.

In this compelling sermon, we delve into the concept of 'the test' as it relates to tithing and our faith walk. The speaker begins with a relatable analogy of unexpected school tests to emphasize the importance of preparedness in our spiritual lives. Through a detailed examination of biblical scriptures, particularly Malachi Chapter 3, the sermon underscores that tithing is not just a financial obligation but a test of faith and an act of worship reflecting our trust in God. It emphasizes three key principles: tithing is biblical, tithing is a test, and tithing is a blessing. The sermon aims to help believers understand the spiritual and practical implications of tithing, encouraging them to live a generous life aligned with God's provisions.For booking and more, visit https://www.ross-steele.com

It's really easy to think we can do this life on our own. In today's message, Pastor Ken says a lot of people push Jesus aside because they don't think they need Him. The reality is that Jesus says, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” When you trust in Jesus, you have access to God. He wanted a relationship with you, so He sent His Son as a sacrifice for your sin. Trust in God today and build your life on the one who'll never fail or forsake you. He loves you.
