Understanding God's Forgiveness

In this special Sunday Sermon, we celebrate a monumental milestone: the 150th anniversary of Oceanside Sanctuary Church. Joining us to mark this occasion is guest speaker Yvonne Gilmore, who brings a powerful message on the legacy of "spiritual audacity" and the enduring power of community. Drawing from Psalm 46, Yvonne explores the concept of God not just as a static refuge, but as an active force that "stirs the oceans" and transforms landscapes. She weaves together the ancient wisdom of the Sons of Korah with the modern resilience found in Louis Armstrong's What a Wonderful World—reminding us that true hope is a practice we perform even in the midst of global turmoil. Listen in as we reflect on what it means to sing songs that hold true on both our best and worst days, and how a community deeply rooted in love can weather any storm to bring about a different manner of weather for the world. Key Themes & Takeaways Celebrating 150 Years: A look back at the "spiritual audacity" that has sustained the community for a century and a half. The Power of Psalm 46: Understanding God as a "very present help" who calls us to be still and know—not to withdraw, but to witness the shifting tides of justice. Songs of Resilience: How Louis Armstrong's masterpiece, recorded during a time of national unrest, mirrors the call to see beauty and grace despite chaos. Community as Refuge: Why our "best songs" are the ones we can sing together through both triumph and tragedy. Poetic Wisdom: Insights from Tracy K. Smith's poem An Old Story on how our collective singing can transform the atmosphere around us.

The content of this podcast is not nearly as serious as the notes indicate. We are not theologians or philosophers --JennySummary:The conversation explores the intersection of science and religion, particularly focusing on the understanding of God as presented in the Old Testament and the implications of Jesus' sacrifice.Takeaways:Neil deGrasse Tyson's views on God are often misunderstood.The Old Testament portrays a God who offers multiple chances for redemption.Jesus' sacrifice is a pivotal concept in Christian theology.The nature of sacrifice raises complex questions in religious discussions.Understanding God requires a nuanced approach that considers both faith and reason.The dialogue between science and religion can lead to deeper insights.The concept of God varies significantly across different religious texts.Sacrifice in religious contexts often challenges our understanding of mortality.Exploring theological questions can enrich our understanding of humanity.The intersection of science and faith is a rich area for exploration.TitlesExploring God: Science vs. FaithThe Nature of Sacrifice in ReligionSound bites"he really misunderstands God.""chance after chance after chance.""how do you sacrifice someone who can't die?"

This will be part one of this teaching, that will discuss what is meant by God's wrath being revealed and how that can look throughout the course of our lives and history. In addition, we will look into the difference between ungodliness and unrighteousness, examine the importance of absolute truth, look into ways that truth suppression continues today and why we as believers should always stand on the truth of God's word in order to remain free from the wrath against sin. Taught by Assistant Pastor Mac at Calvary Kaneohe Hawaii.

This week, Owen continues our prayer series with a gracious reflection on God as our Father. He highlights that approaching God in this way can be challenging, especially if our relationship with our earthly father has shaped our expectations. Owen explains that our relationship with God is not meant to be transactional but deeply relational. Understanding God as Father influences how we respond to unanswered prayer, reminding us that, as His children, we are called to trust Him. Knowing God by His fatherly nature—and by His other attributes—helps us grow in deeper relationship with Him. Ultimately, it is not about us; it is and always will be about God.

In this heartfelt episode, John and Kathy Burke share about their new devotional, 'Imagine the God of Heaven.'

They emphasize the transformative power of prayer and God's boundless love, aiming to help listeners deepen their understanding and relationship with God.

Every season of life carries memories—some that warm our hearts, and others that weigh heavily on our souls. As we move into the holiday months, today's prayer and devotional reminds us that many of us feel a deep mixture of joy and sorrow. Vivian Bricker reminds us that no matter what season we find ourselves in, God’s blessings are still present, even if they feel difficult to see. Scripture tells us that every good and perfect gift comes from the Father (James 1:17). Apart from God, we have no good thing (Psalm 16:2). And even in the hardest seasons, God is still at work—bringing life out of what feels dead (Ezekiel 37) and working all things together for our good (Romans 8:28). Vivian vulnerably shares her own struggle to see God’s goodness in a difficult season. Perhaps you can relate. Sometimes life feels like Paddington Bear’s lament: “Why do bad things always happen to me?” And yet, the truth of Ecclesiastes 3:1 brings hope—this season will not last forever. Seasons change. Hardship has an end. God’s faithfulness does not. Even when blessings feel hidden, God’s presence remains constant. Psalm 23 reminds us that He is with us in every valley and on every mountaintop. And the greatest blessing of all—His unfailing love—cannot be taken from us (Romans 8:37–39). This Thanksgiving season, may we ask God for renewed vision to see His blessings, even in small ways, and to trust His steady love through every change. Today's Bible Reading:“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” – Ecclesiastes 3:1 Takeaway Truths God’s blessings surround us even when life feels heavy. Every season of life—good or painful—has a purpose and an appointed end. God’s presence and His love remain the greatest blessings we will ever receive. Let’s Pray Dear God, help me to see Your blessings in every season. Although this present season feels heavy, allow me to see You. Your blessings are always around me, and they fill me with much joy. Despite the difficult hardships and struggles I'm facing right now, I turn my focus to You. Shield my heart from negativity and help me to see Your blessings. I know they are always around me, just as Your presence always surrounds me. Walk with me as I enter this new season and help me to remember that You are eternally with me. There is time and a place for everything, and I praise You that You are the orchestrator behind them all. In Your Son’s Name, I pray, Amen.

If you've ever felt like you're doing everything "right" and still not seeing the growth you know God promised… this episode is for you. In today's conversation, I'm inviting you into the real tension faith-driven entrepreneurs face when the doors don't open as fast as our obedience seems to deserve. We're talking about the wrestle between divine timing and strategic stewardship, and how to know the difference. I share the deeper purpose behind God's "waiting rooms," why your anointing doesn't always equal immediate appointing, and how spiritual maturity shapes the way you lead, build, and discern your next move. If you've been praying, pushing, and showing up, but progress still feels slow, I want to give you clarity, peace, and a framework to recognize what God is doing in the background. This episode will strengthen your endurance, sharpen your discernment, and remind you that delayed growth is never wasted. God is forming something in you that strategy alone cannot produce… and when the moment of release comes, you will be ready. And if you want more daily encouragement, biblical wisdom, and business strategy for your calling, come hang out with me on Instagram: @resistandroar.

Praise is not just a worship song or a Sunday morning routine—praise is a lifestyle. As our daily prayer and devotional remind us, Scripture tells us to “pray without ceasing,” and in the same way, we can cultivate a posture of continual praise. God gives abundantly, consistently, and generously. Even in difficult seasons, even in uncertainty, He remains the One who provides every good and perfect gift. Keneesha Saunders-Liddie reminds us that the greatest gift God ever gave was His Son. Christ came to earth, bore our sin, and secured our salvation—a gift precious beyond measure. But God’s generosity did not stop at the cross. He continues to sustain us daily with strength, breath, provision, relationships, and opportunities. James 1:17 emphasizes that God does not change. Unlike people who can be fickle or inconsistent, the Lord is steady and faithful. He does not give gifts only to take them back. He does not shift like shadows. His character is constant, and because of that, our praise should be constant too. Every blessing—big or small—flows from His good hand. Every moment of comfort, peace, joy, and strength is evidence of His loving provision. And even when we walk through trials, His presence and sustaining grace are gifts worth praising Him for. He is Jehovah Jireh, our Provider, and the ultimate source of all goodness. Bible Reading:“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” – James 1:17 Takeaway Truths: God is the source of every good and perfect gift. His character is unchanging, providing stability in an unstable world. Praise is a lifestyle that grows from recognizing God’s constant provision. Let’s Pray Oh Heavenly Father, You are the giver of all good and perfect gifts. You are the same yesterday, today, and forever. What a comfort that is to my weary soul. There is evil all around. There are trials and temptations that I have to go through, but You don’t tempt believers with evil. You are the One who gives perfect gifts to Your children. You lead us through temptation, and Jesus has walked the path that we now must walk. There is no temptation that Jesus hasn’t experienced and overcome while He was here on earth. Thank You for being the giver of good gifts. My soul praises and extols Your matchless name because You are Jehovah Jireh, my Provider. You give gifts to me that are wonderful, and even when I have to walk through trials, Your constant presence is there with me. You are unchanging, O God, so that I can depend on You. I will continue to praise and magnify You, O Lord. Let my praises always be on the tip of my tongue. I praise You with my body, with my finances, with my lifestyle, and with everything that You have blessed me with. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Before Christ, we were spiritually dead, slaves to the world, the enemy, and our own flesh.

Notes Luke 19:1-10 Habakkuk 1:1-4, 2:1-4 2 Thessalonians 1:1-4, 11-12 Summary In this episode of the Pulpit Fiction Podcast, hosts Robb McCoy and Eric Fistler explore the readings for the week, focusing on the Gospel of Zacchaeus, the lament of Habakkuk, and insights from 2 Thessalonians. They discuss the often misunderstood nature of Zacchaeus' actions, the powerful protest against injustice found in Habakkuk's lament, and the encouragement offered to the early church in 2 Thessalonians. The conversation emphasizes themes of justice, hospitality, community, and the importance of maintaining faith amidst societal challenges. Takeaways The podcast introduces the readings for the week, focusing on Zacchaeus, Habakkuk, and 2 Thessalonians. Zacchaeus is often misunderstood; his actions reflect a pre-existing commitment to justice rather than a conversion. The crowd's grumbling about Zacchaeus highlights societal judgments and the need for hospitality. Habakkuk's lament serves as a powerful protest against injustice, emphasizing the need for faith amidst turmoil. The call to write a vision in Habakkuk signifies the importance of clarity and hope in times of distress. 2 Thessalonians addresses the struggles of the early church, encouraging perseverance and faithfulness. The text warns against the temptation to revel in the suffering of others, promoting a message of grace instead. The podcast emphasizes the importance of community and the good works happening within congregations. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their worthiness and the value of their contributions to the church.

Over 36 years ago, Kris sat in the classroom of her Bible college professor, Paul Marc Goulet, learning lessons that would profoundly shape her understanding of God, cognitive function, and the power of the stories we tell ourselves. Decades later, their paths cross again for a deeply meaningful conversation about how our God concepts—what we believe about who God is—shape every part of our faith, healing, and daily life.A pastor, author, counselor, and global leader, Paul draws from his extensive background in psychology and theology to unpack the ways distorted beliefs about God can keep us trapped in emotional pain and confusion. He introduces us to one of his most impactful teachings, “the Vat,” a concept describing how our thoughts and experiences create a mental and spiritual environment that either nurtures truth or reinforces distortion.Together, Kris and Paul explore how to reconcile our view of God with life's hardest moments—especially for those walking through betrayal and trauma. This episode invites listeners to reframe suffering, rediscover who God really is, and find freedom in knowing His love is consistent, kind, and unwavering.Key Takeaways from the Episode:Our God concept—what we subconsciously believe about God—shapes how we interpret everything in life.Distorted God concepts often stem from early experiences of authority, love, or rejection.Healing involves replacing lies about God with biblical truth and relational experiences of His character.“The Vat” illustrates how unprocessed pain can distort our perception of God, self, and others—and how renewal begins by changing what we allow into that space.Reframing the question “Why do bad things happen to good people?” opens the door to deeper faith and trust.Understanding God through Scripture (1 Corinthians 13:4–8) helps us see His true nature as love itself.True breakthrough happens when we allow God to rewrite the stories we've been telling ourselves.Connect with Paul Marc Goulet:

In this episode, Dr. Oord interacts with the new book from Greg Boyd and Scott Boren entitled God Looks Like Jesus: A Renewed Approach to Understanding God.In this accessible introduction to understanding the character of God, author Gregory A. Boyd, with M. Scott Boren, lays out the radical truth at the heart of this movement: the conviction that God looks like Jesus. In other words, in the life, ministry, and sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, we see the embodiment of God's very essence—a love that is humble, other-oriented, and self-sacrificial.

What happens when punk rock meets modern faith trends? In this episode, the hosts dive deep into the cultural and spiritual dynamics shaping contemporary Christianity. From the consumer-driven "revival" narrative—marked by increased Bible sales and app downloads—to the troubling intersections of faith and political ideologies like Christian nationalism, they explore what genuine spiritual renewal really looks like. Highlighting the concept of cruciformity, they discuss how the church's role in society should reflect Jesus' teachings of love, justice, and humility, rather than power and control. Through thoughtful conversation, they unpack the transformative power of prayer, emphasizing honesty over performance and exploring how trusting in a good and generous Father reshapes our understanding of faith. Drawing parallels to cultural icons like the Ramones, the episode also touches on how creative expressions and subcultures can challenge the status quo, much like the radical message of Jesus. Join the discussion as the hosts navigate the tension between cultural issues and the theology of the Kingdom of God.
