Do you know that unbelief actually makes us mute in the spirit

Sermon By: Pastor Roman Folia (The Gospel of Matthew pt. 49)

What intellectual and social paradigms have made atheism seem like a plausible and viable alternative worldview in the 21st century? What factors have contributed to the cultural dissolution of the Christian faith in our time? On the next two episodes of the Profile, we will tackle some of these questions with our guest, author and teaching fellow of the Davenant Institute in Landrum, South Carolina, Dr. Joseph Minich. Minich's 2023 book Bulwarks of Unbelief - Atheism and Divine Absence in a Secular Age explores the thesis that the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century has created intellectual and social plausibility structures for modern-day unbelief. From the Davenant Institute Dr. Joseph Minich Dr. (PhD, The University of Texas at Dallas) is Faculty Chair and Professor of Philosophy at Davenant Hall. As part of his work, he also co-hosts the Pilgrim Faith podcast. The founding editor of Ad Fontes and former Editor-in-Chief of the Davenant Press, he is the author of Enduring Divine Absence (Davenant Press, 2018) and Bulwarks of Unbelief: Atheism and Divine Absence in a Secular Age (Lexham Press, 2023).

After giving a short overview of the previous lesson, Dr. Mitchell shares what Jesus said and Matthew wrote. These were Jesus' verbal judgments on the Pharisees and Scribes. These consist of 8 woeful indictments. Dr. Mitchell will guide us through the first 3 of these indictments. The first concerns not entering the kingdom of God and hindering those who would. The second concerns widows houses and long prayers. The third concerns proselyting to their religion. Jesus still yearns for those who are religious but who do not yet know Jesus as their own personal savior. Are you some one or do you know someone who needs to hear and believe the gospel? Jesus forgives any and every sin. Trust Him! Let's join Dr. Mitchell in Matthew 23 verse 13 on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

Have you ever experienced the pain of longing, praying, and hoping for something, only to have it slip through your fingers? In this message, Pastor Caleb unpacks Luke 1:5-25, exploring the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth, a couple who were righteous and faithful, yet suffered decades of silent longing and unanswered prayers. Discover the powerful truth that God hears your prayers even when He seems silent, and how His loving discipline is an invitation back to belief. In this sermon, you'll learn: - The Nature of True Faith: Zechariah and Elizabeth were described as blameless and righteous before God. This meant they had inward integrity and were the same person in private as they were in public. - The Tension of the Christian Life: You can be Godly and disappointed, righteous and barren, or blameless and brokenhearted. Faithfulness does not exempt you from heartache. - Two Temptations in the Waiting Room: When you're trying to live faithfully but suffering silently, be careful not to fall into feeling defeated (thinking your pain is payback for sin) or entitled (treating God like a transactional rewards program). - God's Silence is Not His Absence: Even when we feel like He doesn't, God hears our prayers. God broke the personal silence for Zechariah and Elizabeth and the prophetical silence for His people. - The Danger of Unbelief and Discipline as Grace: Zechariah's doubt (unbelief) prompted a loving discipline: nine months of silence. For a genuine follower of Jesus, discipline is not punishment (which was finished on the cross) but a form of grace—an invitation to step back into love and obedience. - The Ultimate Joy of Christmas: The greatest joy Zechariah and Elizabeth found was not in having a child, but in God remembering His people and finally sending His Savior, Jesus Christ. Key Topics Covered: - The Messengers Series: Kicking off the Christmas series by looking at the first messengers of Christmas, specifically the angel Gabriel. - A Personal Story of Loss and Hope: Pastor Caleb's story of naming his stillborn son Gabriel, "God's Messenger of Hope," after the angel. - The Spiritually Dry Season: Zechariah and Elizabeth lived during a 400-year gap where God did not send a prophet or a fresh word. - The Parallel with Elijah: Gabriel's message announced that Zechariah's son, John, would come in the spirit and power of Elijah, paving the way for the long-awaited Savior. - The Consequences of Doubt: Zechariah's questioning, "HOW shall I know this?", revealed a heart full of cynicism, in contrast to Mary's heart of faith. - Discipline and Discipleship: God uses discipline (like a job loss or a hard marriage season) to form us into the image of His Son, teaching us humility and perseverance. - If you are currently feeling stuck in a "waiting room" of life, struggling with doubt, or experiencing a season of discipline, this message will encourage you to trust God's loving heart and respond to the message of hope in Jesus. - Would you like me to share one of the specific application points from the sermon on how to respond to God's voice in a season of discipline or unbelief?

John 10:26 “But you do not believe because you are not of My sheep. Those who don't believe that Jesus is God in the flesh, the Door, the good Shepherd, the Light of Life, the one who lays down His life for us, don't believe because they are not His sheep. They follow another shepherd, the shepherd of the world. They recognize the voice of their shepherd, Worldly-wiseman, and they believe he is the door to significance, security, acceptance, and self-glory. Unbelief in God and in Christ characterizes all who are not His. You could tell them about Jesus all day long, and they will not have ears to hear. However, we can't tell who are His sheep or who are not His sheep until we love and speak in Jesus' name.

Thank you for listening along with us here on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast with Dr. John G. Mitchell.We continue our study in Matt.22:23-33. As we previously heard, Jesus is confronted by a trap set by the Sadducees using a hypothetical marriage situation. Jesus confronts them with three facts.First of all, these Sadducees are in error.Second, they don't know to whom the Scriptures refer.Thirdly, the don't understand the power of the living God.It is noted that, Jesus told them that God speak directly to the person in the Scriptures. The only interpretation done was by Jesus when He said ‘God is not the God of the dead of the living.'Dr. Mitchell gives us understand of angels and also of those who have died having trusted in Christ. Here is Dr. Mitchell, Mt.22:23

The gospel of Matthew records that Jesus was moved with compassion for the multitudes because they were weary and scattered like sheep with no shepherd. Believers should be filled with joy when others come to Christ, but we must also be filled with compassion for those that do not know him. Do you try to lead unbelievers to Jesus, the Good Shepherd?

Unbelief is often the quiet barrier that keeps faith from growing strong and effective. When doubt takes the lead, it overshadows the truth God has already spoken and the promises He's made. But when unbelief is confronted and replaced with trust, faith can finally rise and produce what God intended.

Pastor Al Dagel is amazed at the accounts of unbelief during Jesus' time walking here on earth.  Be ready to believe, because Jesus is Who He said He is!

Having our Minds Cleared of Lies and Unbelief - Mike Blume

Worship Leader Taylor Cummings reflects on Scripture's warnings about hardened hearts and prays for a tender, pure heart that stays responsive to God, drawing on Psalm 95, Hebrews 3–4, and Ezekiel's promise of a heart of flesh.

Jesus Exposes Unbelief by Lighthouse Baptist Church | Williamsport, MD

The Return of Israel — The Whole House Restored in Messiah Ezekiel 37 and the Covenant of Faith. Today's teaching uncovers one of the most misunderstood prophecies in Scripture: God is not only bringing the Jews back to the land - He is restoring the whole house of Israel — Judah & Ephraim — into one Kingdom under one King, Messiah Yeshua! Session Highlights & Scriptural Outline 1. A Missing Half of the Story Most Christian teaching focuses only on Judah (the Jewish people) returning to the land - but the Bible declares something far bigger: Ezekiel 37:22 “I will make them one nation… and one King will rule over them.” Through unbelief the kingdom was divided (1 Kings 11–12): Judah remained Ephraim (House of Israel) was scattered among the nations (2 Kings 17) Paul reveals the great mystery: Romans 11:25–26 The fullness of the nations must come in - then all Israel will be saved. The so-called “Gentiles” coming to faith includes the actually the scattered House of Israel returning through the Gospel. This restoration is covenantal — not political. 2. The Land Promise — Active Today in Messiah The land promise is secured only by faith — not by DNA: Romans 4:16 “The promise comes by faith…” Galatians 3:29 “If you belong to Messiah, you are Abraham's seed.” Messiah is the rightful Heir — We inherit the land through union with Him. 3. Unbelief Breaks Covenant Fellowship The warnings of Moses, Paul, and Yeshua are consistent: Hebrews 3:19 — Unbelief prevents entry 1 Corinthians 10:5 — Bodies scattered in the wilderness John 14:6 — Only through Yeshua John 8:24 — Without belief, still in sin Romans 9:6 — “Not all Israel who are Israel” Lineage alone does not guarantee covenant standing. 4. Ezekiel 37 Blueprint — Restoration of the WHOLE House The prophecy outlines 5 stages: 1️⃣ Dry bones → national resurrection 2️⃣ Two sticks → Judah + Ephraim reunited 3️⃣ One King → Messiah Son of David 4️⃣ One Land → restored inheritance 5️⃣ One Covenant → everlasting peace Ezekiel 37:23 “They will be My people, and I will be their God.” And Paul reveals the result: Ephesians 2:14–16 “One new man” — no more division — one redeemed Israel In Messiah, believers become: Citizens of Israel (Eph 2:12) Abraham's heirs (Gal 3:29) Royal priesthood (1 Pet 2:9) 5. Covenant Storyline — 4 Stages of Redemption | Stage Covenant Reality Priesthood | Key Scriptures Sinai Marriage Melchizedek Calling Ex 19:5–6; Jer 2:2 Golden Calf Marriage Broken Levitical Temporary System Ex 32; Heb 7:11–12 Cross Husband Dies Eternal Priesthood Restored Rom 7:2–4; Heb 7:24–25 New Covenant Bride Renewed Melchizedek Priesthood Forever Jer 31:31–33; Eph 2:14–16 Yeshua didn't start a religion ➡ He restored the original covenant plan 6. The Land Promise Now — Before the Kingdom Age The Bible clearly states Israel must be restored before Messiah returns: Genesis 17:7–8 — Everlasting possession Galatians 3:16 — Activated in Messiah Joshua 21:43–45 — Historically fulfilled once Ezekiel 36:24–27 — Return → THEN salvation Ezekiel 37:21–25 — Regathering → THEN King Matthew 19:28 — Twelve tribes restored Zechariah 12 & 14 — Nations battle Jerusalem before His return Jeremiah 31:38–40 — Jerusalem rebuilt permanently ➡ The land promise is active today ➡ Final fulfillment occurs when Messiah reigns from Jerusalem 7. Only Through the Son The covenant and the Land are inherited only in Messiah: Hebrews 8:13 The

Astonishment of and with unbelievers

A sermon from John 12:37-50 by Dr. Chris Parrish.

In Acts 14, Paul and Barnabas face a community divided between faith and unbelief. Some respond with worship, some with hostility. This sermon explores the irrationality of unbelief—how people can reject clear evidence of God's power—and contrasts it with the enduring witness of God, who patiently displays His truth and mercy through His servants. We reflect on what it means to trust a God who is faithful even when the world resists Him, and how we can stand as witnesses of His grace in a skeptical world.Time:MorningMinister:Rev.

Lord I believe help my unbelief - Mark 5_25-34 - Br John Jordan - 16th Nov 2025 by The King's Way Christian Fellowship - Glen Waverley

Ever felt like God isn't showing up when you need Him most? In Exodus 17, God's people—fresh from miracles—face thirst in the desert and start demanding answers. This story isn't just about water from a rock; it's about hearts under pressure. What happens when we put God to the test—and discover He's testing us too? Join us as we explore a God who can do the impossible, who reveals what's inside us through trials, and who responds with grace even when we fail.

In this episode of Christ the Center, Camden Bucey and Lane Tipton explore Geerhardus Vos's profound treatment of faith in the Gospel of John (pp. 390–392 of Biblical Theology). Vos unfolds faith not as an abstract belief but as a living, continuous union with the incarnate and ascended Truth—Jesus Christ Himself. John's theology binds faith and truth together: the Son comes down from heaven as the true light, true bread, true vine, and the Truth (John 1:9; 6:32; 15:1; 14:6). Faith, therefore, is a Spirit-wrought communion with the heavenly reality revealed in Him. Tipton and Bucey trace how this Johannine vision lifts believers from the shadowy worship of the old covenant to true, eschatological worship "in spirit and in truth." Faith beholds Christ even now, anticipating the beatific vision. In contrast to philosophical or impersonal notions of truth, Vos insists that truth is personal, Trinitarian, and heavenly—rooted in the self-revealing God. Thus, saving faith is not blind trust but an intimate, knowing participation in the life of the risen Christ, a foretaste of the age to come.

Vespers Sermon @ St. Joseph Coptic Orthodox Church - Nashville, TN ~ November 1, 2025

Worship led by Gabe Velasquez

Send us a textA desperate father reaches the end of himself, the disciples come up short, and Jesus answers with a challenge that reorders everything: “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.” We take you into Mark 9 to feel the weight of that moment—the fear, the hope, and the fragile faith that still dares to ask for help.We share why the father's line, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief,” is more than a slogan. It's a road map for anyone praying for a loved one who won't listen, for anyone who has tried logic, Scripture, even perfect phrasing—and watched it all fall flat. You'll hear how faith precedes sight, how humility invites mercy, and how intercession matters when skill and strategy fail. We unpack Jesus' rebuke of a “faithless generation,” not to shame, but to call us back to dependence on the only one who can lift a child by the hand and silence the chaos we cannot touch.Along the way, we wrestle with the tension between our efforts and God's sovereignty. Salvation belongs to the Lord; our words and work are tools in his hands, not levers of control. That truth frees us to pray more boldly, to ask more simply, and to stand longer for people we love. If your heart carries names you can't let go of, this conversation will give you language, courage, and focus. Listen for the shift from “Teacher” to “Lord,” from polished reasoning to tearful trust, and let that prayer be yours today: believe, and ask for help to believe.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who's praying for someone they love, and leave a review with the line from Mark 9 that moved you most.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Send us a textA desperate father in Mark 9 says five words that many of us whisper in the dark: “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief.” That moment becomes our roadmap. We walk through the emotional break that follows Christ's invitation—“If you can believe, all things are possible”—and trace how a shift in address from “Jesus” to “Lord” reframes worship, prayer, and the very posture of our hearts. Titles aren't semantics; they're signals of allegiance. When we call Him Lord, we approach Him as the One who commands storms, silences demons, and holds our lives together.From there, we get honest about fractured faith. Belief often comes in pieces—bold in the morning, brittle by night. Rather than shaming that reality, we dig into why the father's plea is both humility and good theology: if all things are possible with the Lord, then stronger faith is one of those “all things.” We challenge the myth that grace starts you and you carry the rest. Scripture calls us to work out salvation, not work for it; Christ is not a distant examiner but the Author and Finisher who strengthens, preserves, and completes.We also lift the lens to spiritual authority. When Christ rebukes the unclean spirit and raises the child, He signals the limits of Satan's reach and the nearness of the kingdom. That changes how we face doubt, attack, and dry seasons. Instead of spiraling, we return to the prayer that cannot be refused: help my unbelief. If language shapes worship, this prayer shapes endurance. It keeps our eyes on the Lord's sufficiency rather than our stamina, and it turns daily uncertainty into an open door for grace.Listen for a practical path you can follow today: honor Him as Lord, confess real belief without pretending it's perfect, and ask for the help only He can give. If this conversation steadies your faith or challenges your habits, share it with a friend, subscribe for more, and leave a review to help others find it.

Lawrence Wright is an author, screenwriter, playwright, and a staff writer for The New Yorker magazine. He won the Pulitzer Prize for his 2006 book The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11. Most recently, filmmaker Alex Gibney directed an HBO documentary based on Wright's reporting in Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Unbelief. Much of Wright's work is about how religious belief animates personal action and political conflict. He has documented the Jonestown massacre, explored allegations of Satan worship, profiled brimstone-tinged gospel preachers, and, of course, tracked the histories of al-Qaeda and the Church of Scientology. Regarding the latter, he isn't necessarily sympathetic to the Church's claims, but he understands its appeal. "People don't go into it because it's a cult, they go into it because they're looking for something," says Wright. "It's like going into therapy; people do benefit from it." "But it's one thing to get into it, it's another thing to get out of it." Originally aired April 14, 2015See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
