Podcasts about trusting jesus

 Matthew 21 opens with Jesus's Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem—his coronation as King. Pastor Karl unpacks why this moment was unlike any earthly coronation: a king who arrived not on a warhorse but on a humble donkey, fulfilling prophecies spoken generations earlier through Isaiah, Zechariah, and Daniel. As King, Jesus fulfills God's mission, exercises God's authority, restores proper worship according to God's Word, and extends God's compassion. From the crowds shouting "Hosanna" to Jesus clearing the temple of corruption, this passage reveals a King who demands total allegiance while never withholding compassion from those who come to Him in need.

Troubled World, Untroubled Heart: Trusting Jesus When Life Feels Uncertain – John 14:1–11 In Episode 147 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane step into John 14:1–11, where Jesus speaks some of His most comforting words to His disciples: “Do not let your hearts be troubled.” Jesus knows what is coming. The disciples are facing uncertainty, confusion, and fear—yet He doesn't promise them an easy road. Instead, He gives them something greater: Himself. Together, Jamie and Jane unpack what it means to have an untroubled heart in a troubled world, why trusting God doesn't require understanding everything He's doing, and the hope found in Jesus' declaration: “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” When the world feels uncertain, our circumstances don't have to determine the condition of our hearts. Jesus invites us to trust Him, know the Father through Him, and find peace in the promise that He is preparing the way. If your heart has felt anxious, overwhelmed, or uncertain about what's ahead, John 14 is an invitation to remember who Jesus is—and why you can trust Him. What is troubling my heart right now—and what would change if I trusted Jesus with it instead of trying to control the outcome? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

The good news for people who can't walk on water. A sermon on Matthew 14:22-33 by Rev. Justin Morgan.

Remember God loves you so much he sent his Son Jesus Christ to take the punishment for your sins. You are of great value. Jesus loves you and He is just a prayer away! This episode includes AI-generated content.

In this message, Pastor Karl walks through Matthew 19, where the Pharisees approach Jesus with pointed questions about divorce — testing him against the competing rabbinic schools of Shammai and Hillel. Rather than settling the debate on their terms, Jesus redirects them to God's original design for marriage from Genesis, addressing not just the surface question but the deeper issue underneath it: a hardened heart that looks for loopholes instead of surrendering to God's standard.Pastor Karl unpacks what Scripture teaches about marriage, divorce, and remarriage with pastoral care and honesty about how difficult these teachings can be to live out. He also explores the chapter's turn toward children, and the story of the rich young ruler — a man who came asking about religious righteousness but was really wrestling with money and control.The big idea: Jesus confronts the hardness of our hearts because his kingdom calls for commitment and sacrifice, while our natural tendency is to search for loopholes and excuses. This message is an invitation to let Scripture rebuke, correct, and train us — and to rely on the power of God's Spirit rather than our own willpower to live faithfully.Join us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Brisbane • Auckland • Singapore • Charlotte • Bogotá PEACE • WISDOM • DISCERNMENT Good morning, and welcome to DailyPrayer.uk. I'm Reverend Ben Cooper. Come in for five minutes, let's open God's Word together, and let's pray. Every day brings countless voices asking for our attention. News headlines compete for our thoughts, expectations pull us in different directions and hurried moments can tempt us to react before we have truly listened. Yet the Lord offers something beautifully different. He invites us to allow the peace of Christ to become the quiet guide within our hearts, gently shaping our words, our choices and the way we respond to every situation. Colossians 3:15 (NIV) “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts… And be thankful.” What a timely invitation for today. When the peace of Christ rules our hearts, fear no longer becomes our counsellor, and anxiety no longer has the final word. Instead, God's wisdom begins to shape our decisions, His grace softens our responses and His love becomes visible in the way we treat those around us. So today, let's gently remind ourselves that fear will not win, because Jesus Christ fills our hearts with His peace and faithfully leads us with wisdom that never fails. Father, thank You for the gift of Your peace that reaches deeper than changing circumstances. Thank You that Your wisdom is always available, Your grace is always sufficient and Your love continues to steady every willing heart. Lord Jesus, bless every listener today.

Across the world, from Brisbane to Auckland, from Singapore to Charlotte and Bogotá, may every listener discover the quiet strength that comes from allowing the peace of Christ to guide every step.

Send us your feedback — we're listening2 Corinthians 12:9 — My Grace Is Sufficient For You Today Live from our studios in London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Brisbane • Auckland • Singapore • Charlotte • Bogotá GRACE • STRENGTH • ENDURANCE Good morning, and welcome to DailyPrayer.uk. I'm Reverend Ben Cooper. Come in for five minutes, let's open God's Word together, and let's pray. By this point in the day, many people are already carrying more than they expected. The pace has quickened, demands have increased and the weight of responsibility can begin to feel overwhelming. Perhaps you are trying to stay strong while quietly feeling exhausted inside. If that is where you are today, God's Word brings a gentle reminder that His grace has not run out, and His strength has not diminished.  2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV) “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.'” These words remind us that God does not wait until we are strong before He draws near. He meets us in our weakness with grace that is sufficient for today. We do not have to pretend that we have everything together. So let's quietly remind ourselves that fear will not win, because the strength of Jesus Christ is greater than our weakness, and His grace will faithfully sustain us through every moment of this day. Father, thank You that Your grace is never exhausted. Thank You that You understand our weariness, You know every hidden struggle and You continue to strengthen those who place their trust in You.

Perth • Christchurch • Singapore • Houston • Santiago HOPE • STRENGTH • RENEWAL Good morning, and welcome to DailyPrayer.uk. I'm Reverend Ben Cooper. Come in for five minutes, let's open God's Word together, and let's pray. A new day often begins with fresh questions. Some wake with energy, while others rise carrying worries that never seemed to sleep.

Isaiah 40:31 (NIV) “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” What a wonderful promise to begin the day. God does not ask us to manufacture our own strength. He invites us to place our hope in Him, trusting that He will provide everything we need for today. So as this new morning unfolds, let's quietly remind ourselves that fear will not win, because our hope is anchored in Jesus Christ, whose strength never fails and whose love never lets us go. Father, thank You for the gift of this new day. Thank You that Your mercies are new every morning and Your faithfulness remains constant through every season of life.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningRomans 8:38–39 — Nothing Can Separate Us From The Love Of Christ Tonight Live from our studios in London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Hobart • Hamilton • Singapore • Birmingham, Alabama • Curitiba LOVE • SECURITY • PEACE Good evening, and welcome to DailyPrayer.uk. I'm Reverend Ben Cooper. Come in for five minutes, let's open God's Word together, and let's pray. As this day gently comes to its close, there may still be questions resting on your heart. Some prayers are still waiting to be answered, some burdens are still being carried and tomorrow remains unseen. Yet there is one certainty that never changes: the love of Jesus Christ remains constant through every hour of our lives. Tonight, before you rest, allow that truth to settle deeply within your heart.  Romans 8:38–39 (NIV) “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future… nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” What remarkable hope these words bring. Our confidence does not rest in a trouble-free life but in the unbreakable love of Christ. Whatever today has held, and whatever tomorrow may bring, His love remains unchanged. So tonight, let's quietly remind ourselves that fear will not win, because nothing can separate us from the love of Jesus Christ, who is faithful yesterday, today and forever. Father, thank You for Your unfailing love that has carried us throughout this day. Thank You that Your grace has been sufficient in our weakness, Your peace has remained available in every moment and Your presence has never left our side. Lord Jesus, watch over every listener tonight. Bring healing to those who are unwell, comfort to those who feel lonely, rest to those whose minds are weary and fresh hope to everyone facing tomorrow with uncertainty. May we lie down in peace, knowing that we are held securely in Your everlasting love. Holy Spirit, quiet every anxious thought, surround every home with Your peace and prepare our hearts to welcome a new day with confidence, faith and joyful expectation.

Brisbane • Dunedin • Singapore • Charlotte • Medellín COURAGE • STRENGTH • GOD'S PRESENCE Good morning, and welcome to DailyPrayer.uk. I'm Reverend Ben Cooper. Come in for five minutes, let's open God's Word together, and let's pray. By now, many of us have stepped into the responsibilities of the day. Meetings have begun, families need our attention, decisions are waiting and some are already facing unexpected challenges. If today feels bigger than your own strength, pause for these few moments and allow God's presence to become greater than your pressure. Isaiah 41:10 (NIV) “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” This promise is more than comforting words—it is the faithful voice of God speaking into ordinary lives. He does not promise that every difficulty will disappear, but He does promise that we will never face those difficulties alone. Let's hold firmly to this truth today: fear will not win, because the Lord Himself is our strength, our helper and our constant companion through every challenge. Father, thank You for Your unfailing presence. Thank You that when our own strength feels limited, Your strength never fails and Your faithfulness never changes. Lord Jesus, strengthen every listener today. Bring healing to those who are unwell, courage to those facing difficult conversations, peace to anxious hearts and renewed confidence to everyone carrying responsibilities that seem overwhelming.

Come in for five minutes, let's open God's Word together, and let's pray. Night has a way of uncovering the worries we managed to set aside during the day. Questions about tomorrow, concerns for those we love and burdens we can no longer carry often become louder when everything else grows quiet. If your heart feels full tonight, let's place every care before the Lord and receive the peace that only He can give.  Philippians 4:6–7 (NIV) “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God… will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” What a beautiful promise to end the day. God does not invite us to pretend that our worries do not exist. He invites us to bring every one of them into His presence. As we pray tonight, let's quietly remind ourselves that fear will not win, because God's peace is standing guard over every heart that is surrendered to Christ. Father, thank You for Your constant care throughout this day. Thank You that no burden is too heavy for You, no prayer is too small for You and no child of Yours is ever forgotten. Lord Jesus, we place our homes, our families, our health and our future into Your loving hands.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningRomans 15:13 — Overflow With Hope Through The Holy Spirit Live from our studios in London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Melbourne • Wellington • Singapore • Chicago • Bogotá HOPE • JOY • PEACE Welcome to DailyPrayer.uk. I'm Reverend Ben Cooper. Come in for five minutes, let's open God's Word together, and let's pray. There are seasons when the headlines seem heavy, the future feels uncertain and hope can quietly begin to fade. If you're looking for encouragement today, praying for renewed hope or asking God to strengthen your heart through a difficult season, let's pause together and allow His promises to speak more loudly than our fears.  Romans 15:13 (NIV) “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Our hope is not built upon circumstances that change from one day to the next. Our hope is rooted in the unchanging character of God. Even when answers take longer than we expected, even when the road ahead is unclear, the Lord continues to work with faithfulness, wisdom and love. His promises remain secure because He remains faithful. Father, thank You for being the God of hope. Thank You that Your joy is deeper than our circumstances and Your peace is stronger than our fears. Lord Jesus, fill every listener with fresh hope today. Bring healing to those who are unwell, comfort to those who feel discouraged, strength to those carrying heavy burdens and renewed confidence to everyone wondering what tomorrow may bring. Help us to trust You with joyful expectation, believing that Your plans are always good. Holy Spirit, overflow our hearts with peace, strengthen our faith and help us become people who carry the hope of Christ into every place You lead us.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningPhilippians 4:6–7 — Let The Peace Of Christ Guard Your Heart Live from our studios in London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Brisbane • Christchurch • Singapore • Charlotte • Buenos Aires PEACE • PRAYER • TRUST There are moments in every day when our minds begin to race ahead of us. A conversation may not have gone as we hoped, a message may still be waiting for an answer, or a decision may be asking more of us than we feel able to give. Before those thoughts take root, let's pause together and place them into the hands of the One who knows the end from the beginning. Philippians 4:6–7 (NIV) “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God… will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” The Lord does not ask us to carry our worries until they become too heavy. He lovingly invites us to bring them to Him while they are still forming. As we pray, His peace begins to steady our hearts—not because every circumstance changes immediately, but because His presence remains constant. Father, thank You that You welcome every prayer we bring. Thank You that nothing is too small for Your attention and nothing is too great for Your power. Lord Jesus, breathe Your peace into every anxious heart today. Bring healing to those who are unwell, wisdom to those making difficult choices, comfort to those carrying hidden burdens and renewed strength to everyone who feels overwhelmed. Teach us to trust You more deeply with every concern. Holy Spirit, quiet every restless thought, help us recognise Your gentle leading and fill us with the peace that only You can give. Across the world, from Brisbane to Christchurch, from Singapore to Charlotte and Buenos Aires, may every listener discover the deep and lasting peace of Christ, trusting that He is holding every detail of their lives.

Auckland • Melbourne • Singapore • Toronto • Lima FAITHFULNESS • HOPE • ASSURANCE Wherever you are listening today, perhaps your heart has quietly asked a question that many people carry but rarely speak aloud: “Lord, are You still with me?” Sometimes the pressures of life, unanswered prayers or unexpected disappointments can leave us feeling isolated, even though we continue to trust. If that is where you are today, let's pause together.  Hebrews 13:5 (NIV) “…Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” These are not simply encouraging words; they are God's promise. His presence is not measured by our feelings or by our circumstances. He remains faithful in seasons of joy and in seasons of uncertainty. Even when the path ahead is unclear, the Lord continues to walk beside His children with unfailing love. Father, thank You that Your promises never change. Thank You that Your faithfulness is greater than our fears and Your presence is nearer than we often realise. Lord Jesus, draw close to every person listening today. Bring healing to those who are weary in body, comfort to those carrying grief, peace to anxious minds and renewed hope to hearts that have become discouraged. Help us to trust that You are holding us securely, even when we cannot yet see the way ahead. Holy Spirit, remind us that we are never forgotten.

What does persistent faith look like when God's response seems difficult or delayed? In Episode 171 of the 2 Minute Disciple podcast, we meditate on Mark 7:24–30, one of the most challenging and profound encounters in the Gospels. A Gentile woman approaches Jesus, pleading for her daughter's healing, and receives an unexpected response. Yet instead of walking away discouraged, she responds with remarkable humility, courage, and unwavering faith. Her simple reply—“Even the dogs under the table are allowed to eat the scraps from the children's plates”—reveals a heart that trusts completely in the mercy of Christ. Jesus honors her faith, and her daughter is healed. This contemplative devotional explores the beauty of persistent prayer, humble faith, and trusting God's goodness even when His timing or His answers are difficult to understand. Through guided prayer, Scripture reflection, and a practical spiritual exercise, you'll be encouraged to bring your unanswered prayers back to Jesus with renewed confidence. Whether you're praying for healing, reconciliation, direction, or breakthrough, this episode reminds us that the mercy of Jesus is more than enough—and that faithful persistence is never wasted. In this episode: • Mark 7:24–30 devotional reflection • The faith of the Syrophoenician woman • Persistent prayer and humble trust • God's mercy for all people • Christian meditation and contemplative prayer • Trusting Jesus through delayed answers • Growing in resilient faith

What do you do when following Jesus becomes difficult? In Episode 167 of the 2 Minute Disciple podcast, we meditate on John 6:66–71, one of the most sobering moments in Jesus' ministry. After hearing His hard teaching, many disciples turn away and stop following Him. Rather than chasing them or changing His message, Jesus turns to the Twelve and asks a piercing question: “Are you also going to leave?” Peter's answer remains one of the most powerful confessions of faith in Scripture: “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life.” This contemplative devotional explores what it means to remain with Jesus when faith is tested, understanding is incomplete, and the crowd is moving in another direction. Through guided prayer, reflection, and spiritual practice, you'll be invited to consider the reasons you continue to trust Christ and why there is nowhere else you would rather be. Whether you're walking through doubt, disappointment, confusion, or spiritual fatigue, this episode offers encouragement to stay close to the One who alone has the words of eternal life. In this episode: • John 6:66–71 devotional reflection • Peter's confession of faith • Following Jesus through difficult seasons • Persevering when others walk away • Christian meditation and contemplative prayer • Spiritual endurance and discipleship • Trusting Christ when understanding is incomplete

What do you do when Jesus says something you don't understand? In Episode 166 of the 2 Minute Disciple podcast, we reflect on John 6:60–65, where even Jesus' disciples struggle to accept His teaching. Their response is honest: “This is very hard to understand. Who can accept it?” Rather than softening His message, Jesus points them toward a greater reality and reminds them that true understanding comes through the Holy Spirit. This contemplative devotional explores the tension between faith and understanding, the temptation to walk away from difficult teachings, and the invitation to remain with Jesus even when His words challenge us. Through guided prayer, Scripture meditation, and spiritual reflection, you'll be encouraged to trust God's Spirit when your mind cannot yet fully grasp what Christ is saying. Whether you're wrestling with doubt, confusion, or a difficult passage of Scripture, this episode offers a gentle reminder that faithfulness often begins by staying with Jesus through the hard things.

Working for Food That Lasts Why are you really seeking Jesus? In Episode 161 of 2 Minute Disciple, we meditate on John 6:22–29, where the crowds search diligently for Jesus after He miraculously fed thousands with a few loaves and fish. At first glance, their pursuit seems admirable. They cross the lake looking for Him. They are determined, persistent, and eager to find Him. But Jesus sees deeper than their actions. He lovingly exposes what is driving them: they are following Him because He fed them, not because they understood who He truly was. The crowd wanted another meal. Jesus wanted to offer them something far greater. He redirects their attention from temporary needs to eternal realities, telling them not to spend their lives chasing food that perishes but to seek the food that endures to eternal life. When they ask what God requires of them, Jesus gives one of the most surprising answers in all of Scripture: “The work of God is this: to believe in the one He has sent.” Before service comes trust. Before obedience comes faith. Before doing comes believing. Jesus reminds us that Christianity is not primarily about performing for God. It begins with trusting Him. This passage invites us to examine our motives and ask whether we are seeking Jesus Himself—or merely the things we hope He will provide. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why Jesus challenged the motives of the crowd • The difference between seeking God's gifts and seeking God Himself • What Jesus means by “food that endures to eternal life” • Why belief is the foundation of the Christian life • A practical exercise for examining your spiritual hunger Scripture John 6:22–29 (NLT)

Send us Fan MailFear doesn't always show up as open persecution. Sometimes it's a quiet dread about tomorrow, the temptation to shrink your faith down to something “safe,” or the constant pressure to blend in. We're leaning into a story that refuses to let courage stay theoretical: St. Marcellinus and St. Peter, two believers who stood firm under Roman persecution and found strength in Jesus when the cost turned deadly. We trace who they were, what it meant to follow Christ during Emperor Diocletian's crackdown, and why the early church's suffering still speaks to modern Christian life. Along the way, we connect their witness to practical, Scripture-grounded courage, from Luke 9:23's call to take up the cross to John 16:33's promise that Jesus overcomes the world. If you've ever thought, “I could never be that brave,” their story meets you right there and points to daily surrender rather than heroic hype. One of the most arresting moments is the tradition that their peace and forgiveness helped change the heart of their executioner. We also talk about hidden faithfulness, the kind that happens in the shadows when no one is watching, and how God uses steady obedience to shine light in dark places. We share simple ways to keep your faith close through community, devotionals, and tangible reminders that can spark conversations and strengthen resolve. If this encouraged you, subscribe, share the episode with a friend who needs courage, and leave a review so more people can find these stories of faith under fire.Open by Steve Bailey Support the showChat with US 24/7 Ask us anything https://chatting.page/mjxs9aerrtgm3lmpndlcepmbyosntrjnDownload Journeys of Faith App for Iphone or Android FREE https://journeysoffaith.com/pages/download-our-appJourneys of Faith brings your Super Saints PodcastsPlease consider subscribing to this podcast or making a donation to Journeys of Faith Help us Grow!Why you should shop here at Journeys of Faith official site!New Mega Search Engine!Lowest Prices and Higher discounts up to 50%Free Shipping starts at $18 - Express Safe Checkout Click HereCannot find it let us find or create it - - Click HereRewards Program is active - click Here

Those who would be disciples of Jesus must understand the cost to follow Jesus. Trusting Jesus for salvation is not simply a thought, feeling, or action, it is directing our entire lives toward the reality that Jesus is Lord over our lives. Because of that, we will have to pay the cost of comfort, family commitments, and safety. Those who want an easy, predictable, comfortable life should not follow Jesus, because following Jesus leads to storms. Also, Jesus will be with those who follow Him. He will not lead us somewhere He will leave us. 

More broken than we know, more loved than we can comprehend. Welcome to the weekly sermon podcast of Grace Church Bellingham.

Episode 149 of 2 Minute Disciple Season 5 explores the sobering story of Jesus returning to His hometown in Mark 6:1–6. The people of Nazareth were amazed by His wisdom and miracles—until familiarity turned their amazement into offense. “Isn't this just the carpenter?” In this contemplative Christian podcast episode, Nick reflects on the danger of becoming so familiar with Jesus, church, Scripture, and spiritual language that we stop truly seeing Him. The people closest to Jesus struggled to receive Him because they thought they already knew Him. Their unbelief became a barrier to what He wanted to do among them. Through a peaceful rhythm of slowing down, reading Scripture, noticing, meditating, responding in prayer, and practicing a daily spiritual habit, listeners are encouraged to approach Jesus again with humility, openness, and wonder. This episode is for anyone feeling spiritually numb, disconnected, overly familiar with faith, or longing to encounter Jesus in a fresh way. It is a reminder that wonder keeps faith alive—and Jesus still desires to reveal Himself in the familiar places of our lives.

Episode 148 of 2 Minute Disciple Season 5 centers on Matthew 9:27–34 and the powerful encounters between Jesus, two blind men, and a mute man oppressed by a demon. As the blind men cry out, “Son of David, have mercy on us,” they reveal a spiritual insight that many religious leaders still lacked. Before healing them, Jesus asks a deeply personal question: “Do you believe I am able to do this?” Their answer becomes an invitation for all of us to examine the posture of our own hearts. This contemplative Christian podcast episode guides listeners through a gentle rhythm of slowing down, reading Scripture, noticing, meditating, responding in prayer, and practicing a simple spiritual habit. Together, we reflect on faith that trusts in who Jesus is, the mercy He offers, and the different ways people respond to His work. This episode is for anyone seeking clarity, healing, renewed faith, or courage to bring honest prayers before Jesus. It is a reminder that Christ still opens blind eyes, restores broken voices, and meets us with mercy.

Episode 147 of 2 Minute Disciple Season 5 explores the deeply moving story of Jairus' daughter in Mark 5:35–43. Just as Jairus receives the worst news imaginable — “Your daughter is dead” — Jesus speaks five life-giving words: “Don't be afraid. Just have faith.” This contemplative Christian podcast episode invites listeners into a quiet place of trust, especially in moments when it feels like God has arrived too late. Through a gentle rhythm of slowing down, reading Scripture, noticing, meditating, responding in prayer, and practicing a daily spiritual habit, we reflect on the faith of Jairus and the authority of Jesus over death, despair, and hopelessness. Jesus walked into a house full of mourning, took a little girl's hand, and called her back to life. And in the same way, He still meets us in places where hope feels buried and reminds us that He is never too late. This episode is for anyone carrying disappointment, grief, delayed prayers, fear, or the ache of waiting on God. It is a reminder that even when circumstances seem final, Jesus is still at work.

Are you searching for certainty and stability in an increasingly uncertain world? Join us as we explore Jesus's famous sermon in Matthew 7 to uncover what it truly means to anchor our trust in God rather than ourselves. We discover that the battle of faith isn't just about intellectual belief—it's about daily surrender and putting Jesus's words into practice. Learn how shifting from independence to deep dependence restores our purpose, relationships, and ultimate peace. Speaker: Dave MacNeill

Adopted, 3 of 3 from May 24, 2026“Trusting Jesus makes us truly God's kids but earning approval is slavery.” Galatians 4:1-14 by Michael Lockstampfor (@miklocks)SUMMARYThis sermon teaches that believers are fully adopted into God's family solely through trusting Jesus. Pastor Michael emphasizes that the indwelling Holy Spirit is our “certificate of adoption,” growing supernatural love in us, freeing us from slavery to performance and people-pleasing, and inviting us not only to serve others but also to humbly receive love and care from them.REFLECTION & DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

What gives you bravery when you need it? What can you be certain of even in uncertain times? Coach Kate Dreesen looks to the example Jesus set to learn about courage in the face of fearful circumstances. When faith feels distant, people don't need more noise. They need something they can return to each day.  Something that brings them back to God's Word.

Struggling with anxiety as a Christian can feel confusing—especially when verses like John 14:1 tell us not to let our hearts be troubled. But Jesus’ response to anxiety isn’t harsh correction—it’s compassionate invitation. In moments of fear and overwhelm, He offers peace, not pressure. His words weren’t spoken to shame anxious hearts but to comfort them, reminding us that trust in Him is the pathway to lasting peace. True peace isn’t something we manufacture through perfect prayers or flawless faith—it’s something we receive from Jesus. Biblical peace goes deeper than calm emotions; it’s a sense of wholeness and security rooted in His presence. As we consistently turn to Him—through prayer, Scripture, and honest surrender—He begins to reshape our thoughts and quiet our fears. It may not happen instantly, but over time, His peace grows stronger than our anxiety. Highlights Jesus responds to anxiety with compassion, not condemnation “Do not be troubled” is an invitation to trust, not a harsh command Peace comes from Christ—not from striving or self-effort Anxiety often persists when we expect instant healing Spiritual practices help us receive the peace we already have in Christ Honest prayer invites God to reveal what may be hindering our peace Trusting Jesus more deeply leads to greater, lasting peace Do you want to listen ad-free?

You believe in God; believe also in me.” - John 14:1 NIV As someone with a long history of anxiety, I used to feel guilt and condemnation when I read today’s verse and others like it. I knew Scripture told me, in numerous places, not to fear. I understood the importance of “taking my thoughts captive. I also recognized that I’d remain stuck in my overwhelm and whatever habitual battle I faced unless I allowed the Lord to transform me as I intentionally renewed my mind with God’s unchanging truth. Yet, I consistently found myself enslaved to my spinning anxious thoughts that felt far too strong to counter or correct. My problem was two-fold. First, I expected instant healing and freedom. I thought if I said the right prayers, memorized enough Scripture, and chose to yield my circumstances to Christ, bam! He’d instantly erase all the lies and doubts fueling my fears and flood my brain and soul with His promises—which, of course, would stick, indefinitely. Second, I misread Jesus’ invitation to trust as a harsh command that brought Him frustration when not lived out. But our Savior is gentle and humble in heart and longs to provide rest, not guilt and shame, to our souls (Matthew 11:28). When I read John 14 through that lens, I see Christ’s words as tender reassurance spoken from a place of compassionate awareness that fearful times lie ahead. The context of today’s verse supports this. If you’re familiar with the events surrounding Christ’s crucifixion, you might recognize the circumstances surrounding His words. On the night before His death, He gathered His disciples in an upper room to celebrate the Passover. During this sacred meal, He predicted several unsettling things: He’d soon leave, and they couldn’t come. One of them would betray Him, they’d all abandon Him in His most painful moment, and Peter would deny three times that he even knew Him. But notice how Jesus bookended this difficult information. He began the chapter with today’s verse, telling them not to let their hearts be troubled but instead to trust in Him. Then, in verse 27, He repeated this with additional details when He said, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” Intersecting Life & Faith: Peace. Biblically speaking, this word, eiréné in the original Greek, goes deeper than emotional tranquility. It signifies wholeness, well-being, and things as they should be. And notice, this soul-state comes from Him, not our frantic efforts to change or heal ourselves. Yes, we must do our part by consistently turning to Him through prayer, Bible reading, silent meditation, and practicing other spiritual disciplines. Scripture also encourages us to learn how to rely on and yield to the Holy Spirit more consistently and to do our best to obey, however He leads. Sometimes, this requires prayerfully considering ways we might be actively blocking or hindering our ability to receive Christ’s peace. Notice the phrasing in Colossians 3:15: Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful (NIV, emphasis mine). This seems to indicate that we already possess His peace but haven’t given it full reign for some reason. Perhaps we’re held captive to an addiction that leads to regretful behavior and damaged relationships, and the inner angst both scenarios create. Or, maybe we’re spending far more time reading fear-mongering clickbait articles than we are truth. Or we might feel reluctant to take medication that our brain needs to function optimally. Most, if not all, of us also tend to experience some degree of self-deception. Because of this, I’ve found it helpful to pray Psalm 139:23-24, which reads: Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting (NIV). The New American Standard Bible phrases the last line in this passage this way: … see if there is any hurtful way in me, And lead me in the everlasting way. Understand, I don’t pray this from a place of guilt or shame. Rather, I’m asking the One who knows me better than I know myself and sees the most hidden places in my soul to reveal those things within me that hinder my freedom. This is a request He loves to answer because it positions me for the deep transformation I need to experience the “beyond-expectations” thriving life He promised in John 10:10. Because only the Prince of Peace holds the power to calm and strengthen my wounded and fearful soul. He longs to do the same for you. The more you connect with, listen to, learn from, and follow Him, the easier it becomes to “believe in Him,” as today’s verse invites you to do. And the more we believe in Him—trusting His power, promises, and heart—the greater our peace.

The world holds a tight grip on us—pulling us to chase status, security, and self. But Jesus flips it all. In Matthew 10:37–39, we're confronted with a hard truth: if we try to keep our life on the world's terms, we'll lose it. But when we loosen that grip and trust Him, we finally find what real life is.In this episode, Greg Snow unpacks what it means to let go, trust deeply, and discover the life Jesus promises—the kind the world can't give and can't take away.We'd love to connect with you https://newlifephilly.churchcenter.com/people/forms/224507Would you like Prayer today? https://newlifephilly.churchcenter.com/people/forms/382423We pray the New Life Philly Podcast encourages you today! Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube at NewLifePhilly.

In this message from the Back to Basics series, we rediscover what Jesus actually designed the church to be. In a culture where platforms, personalities, and preferences can shape our view of church, Scripture calls us back to something deeper.Looking at Acts 2, we see the original blueprint of the church: a devoted people centered on Jesus, committed to one another, and living on mission. The early believers didn't treat church as an event to attend—they treated it as a family to belong to.This message challenges us to move beyond casual faith and into real commitment: • Trusting Jesus • Going public with baptism • Getting planted in the churchBecause platforms build crowds, but God's design builds people.

In Gospel of Mark chapter 11, we encounter a King who refuses to fit our expectations. As Jesus rides into Jerusalem to shouts of “Hosanna,” the crowd waves palms and projects their hopes of political victory onto Him. But this is no campaign rally—this is a confrontation. From the fig tree with leaves but no fruit, to the temple full of activity but empty of prayer, Jesus exposes a surface-level faith that looks alive from a distance yet withers up close. The message is clear: religion without repentance is nothing but leaves. Trusting Jesus isn't meant to fit neatly into our routines, playlists, or Sunday schedules—it's meant to overturn tables in our hearts and transform us from the inside out. In this powerful teaching, we're reminded that what isn't rooted in Christ will ultimately wither away. Jesus invites us beyond performative faith into a life marked by real fruit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Prayer isn't about bending God to our will; it's about aligning our hearts with His. Mountains move not because we name and claim, but because we trust and surrender. The question before us is simple but searching: are we asking Jesus to fit our lives, or are we surrendering to let Him change them? May our faith be more than leaves. May it bear fruit that lasts.

Are you trying to control Jesus or follow him? Does commitment to God actually restrict your freedom? And why does Jesus point to children as the model of faith? In today's episode, Jeff shares how Mark 10:1–16 challenges our consumeristic view of freedom and shows us that true life is found in wholehearted commitment and childlike dependence on Jesus.
