Taking a break from The Gospel According to John, Pastor Jason Polk shares an encouraging message from Jeremiah 1 about God's purpose and calling for every believer. Using Jeremiah's commissioning and personal stories of faith, Pastor Jason reminds us that while every Christian shares the same mission—to glorify God and make disciples—God uniquely calls each person to fulfill that purpose in different ways. If you've ever felt unqualified, insignificant, or uncertain about God's plan for your life, this message will encourage you to trust that you are known by God, significant to God, and called by God.   Jeremiah 1:4-10 Jeremiah 1:17-19 Psalm 139:1-18 2 Corinthians 5:17

This Past Sunday...The Holy Spirit changed out plans and the results were an amazing and refreshing time together.    This message opens with prophetic pictures revealed by the Holy Spirit during our worship time and then becomes a spontaneous Spirit led, timely challenge to come off spiritual autopilot, leave comfortable patterns, and respond to what the Lord is asking you to do during this season on the Earth.   Using Jeremiah 32 as an example, the message shows how we often need to step out into costly actions that don't always make sense—like Jeremiah buying the field during a siege—after receiving a clear prophetic word from the Lord.   We ended our time together in with worship and prayer and left that portion in the podcast even though the guitar was a little out of tune.  Enjoy!

Send us Fan MailSome prayers feel like they hit the ceiling, and that can mess with your trust fast. We sit with a raw question raised through Job's words: does God hear a cry when trouble shows up, and what happens when the person praying is wicked, hypocritical, or even a believer stuck in sin? Using Jeremiah and Proverbs, we talk about why religious activity can still be empty, how refusing God's counsel hardens the heart, and why the Bible sometimes describes God as not answering.From there we get practical and personal. We talk about looking back on our lives and recognizing God's hand even before conversion, and we wrestle with the difference between being condemned and being chastened. That leads into a modern pressure point: therapy, medication, and the well-meaning promise that you “deserve to be happy.” We challenge that idea and draw a sharper line between happiness and Christian joy, plus contentment that can exist even when anxiety or depression does not vanish.We also confront a common error Job's friends make, and we still make today: judging someone's spiritual condition by their visible circumstances. Prosperity is not proof of God's favor, and suffering is not automatic proof of God's distance. We close by asking what prayer is for if God is sovereign, and we land on a grounding answer: prayer aligns us with God's will and changes us as we learn to love God and love our neighbor.If this conversation helped you think more clearly about unanswered prayer, joy, and spiritual integrity, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

In this episode, Pastor Mike answers an important question about interpreting Scripture: how do we know if a Bible promise is meant for a specific group in history or for all believers today?Using Jeremiah 29:11 as a key example, he explains the importance of understanding historical context, original audience, and authorial intent. While this well-known verse was originally spoken to Judah during the Babylonian exile, Pastor Mike shows how believers today can still draw meaningful and accurate principles from it—without misapplying the text.This teaching helps you grow in sound biblical interpretation while still being encouraged by the truth of God's promises for His people today.Text ASK to 90398 to ask Pastor Mike a Bible Question.Text GOLIVE to 90398 to be notified when ASK Pastor Mike is LIVE.Find more ways to learn your Bible at https://focalpointministries.org/Have a Bible Question?

Let There Be Love — Part 2: Breaking Up the Fallow Ground Description: In Part 2 of Let There Be Love, Pastor Eric continues laying the foundation for a biblical understanding of love by returning to the love of God for us. Before believers can rightly love God, love one another, or love a broken world, they must first understand the depth, security, and transforming power of God's love in Christ. Preaching from Ephesians 3, Pastor Eric emphasizes that the love of Christ is not merely something to study intellectually, but something to know personally and experientially. He shows how disordered loves, hardened hearts, hidden sin, and spiritual drift can cloud our vision of God's love and keep us from walking in joyful fellowship with Him. Even churchgoing believers can become “prodigals in the pew,” outwardly present but inwardly distant. Using Jeremiah 3, 1 John 4, Psalm 27, and the parable of the Prodigal Son, Pastor Eric calls the church to repentance, renewed affection for Christ, and a fresh experience of the Father's love. This message is both gospel invitation and pastoral exhortation: come back to the Father, break up the fallow ground, and learn again to behold the beauty of the Lord. Key Scriptures: Ephesians 3:14–21; Jeremiah 3:12–14; Jeremiah 3:24–25; 1 John 4:17–19; Psalm 27:4–5; Luke 15:11–24; John 10:27–30; Colossians 2:13–15 Highlights: Why love for God must begin with a right understanding of God's love for us The danger of disordered loves and counterfeit substitutes for God How sin and spiritual drift harden the heart, even in churchgoing Christians “The prodigal in the pew”: outwardly present, inwardly far from God Why shame and guilt should lead us back to Jesus, not away from Him The difference between positional cleansing in Christ and daily relational cleansing Breaking up the fallow ground through repentance and renewed sensitivity to God Beholding the beauty of the Lord as the path to reordered affection The Prodigal Son as a picture of the Father's pursuing, restoring love Ring, robe, and sandals: the Father restores identity before performance Next Steps: Ask the Lord to show you where your loves have become disordered or divided. Is there a sin, affection, ambition, relationship, or habit that has begun to compete with your love for God? Bring it honestly to the cross. Spend time this week in Ephesians 3 and Luke 15, and ask God to help you know the love of Christ more deeply. If your heart has grown hard, pray for the courage to repent and return. If you have never trusted Jesus Christ as your Savior, come to Him today and receive the cleansing, forgiveness, and new life only He can give.

In this Sunday Bible study, Rev. David Buchs begins with Psalm 66, tracing how God tests His people through burden, fire, and water—not to destroy them, but to refine them like silver. The image of being caught in a net becomes a vivid picture of Lent itself: every person is caught by someone, either in the snares of the devil or in the saving net of the Lord.The study then turns to catechesis, admission to the Lord's Supper prior to confirmation, and why Christian instruction should not peak briefly in adolescence and then collapse, but rise steadily through the whole of life. Rev. Buchs explains the distinction between admission to communion and confirmation, emphasizing parental responsibility in handing on the faith.A difficult pastoral question follows: what danger is present when someone remains under preaching that openly contradicts Scripture? Using Jeremiah's warning against false prophets, the discussion shows why a preacher's life can itself preach rebellion, even when biblical words are spoken. The central concern is repentance: false shepherds teach people not to fear disaster where God has warned of judgment.The final section turns to 1 Kings 12 and the division of the kingdom. Rehoboam's folly and Jeroboam's political calculation reveal a recurring biblical principle: corruption begins by altering worship. Jeroboam changes feast days, priesthood, worship sites, and erects golden calves—showing that the first mark of spiritual decline is often not political collapse but deviation from what God has prescribed.Key themes:• Psalm 66 and why God tests His people through hardship• “You will be caught by someone”: the net of the Lord versus the snares of the devil• Admission to communion before confirmation and lifelong catechesis• Why difficult pastoral conversations must not be postponed• Jeremiah on false prophets and why false preaching endangers repentance• Jeroboam's golden calves and why false worship corrupts everythingSunday Bible Study – March 15, 2026Grace Lutheran Church#BibleStudy #ChristianTeaching #LutheranTheology #Psalm66 #FirstKings #Jeroboam #Confirmation #LordSupper #FalseProphets #Repentance #GraceLutheran #ArkansasFaith

Using Jeremiah 18–19, we are reminded that before life is a social or political issue, it is first a God issue. Scripture takes us to the potter's house, where God reveals Himself as the Creator who forms every life with intention, care, and purpose. We will reflect on what it means to live in a world where human life is often measured by usefulness or convenience, and why the Bible anchors the value of every person in the hands of God.In this message, we speak clearly about the sacredness of human life, while also holding out the grace, healing, and hope found in Jesus Christ. It is our prayer that this message will lead us not only to affirm the sanctity of life, but to worship the God who gives it, redeems it, and calls His church to protect it.

In this episode of The Illuminated Woman Podcast, we unpack a timely and weighty message: revival is stirring, and silence is no longer an option. Using Jeremiah 47:6–7 as an anchor, we'll explore what it means when God's Word refuses to rest, how tragedy can spark revival, and why women of faith are called out of lukewarmness into bold obedience.The recent ass*ssination of Charlie Kirk has awakened millions to faith, politics, and the urgency of truth. I'll share my own story of being bold on the podcast but silent on social media, and how God is calling me — and all of us — to step into courage. This is a rooftop moment. Revival begins when we refuse to stay quiet.

Pastor Christian's message, Lord of My (Our) Fears, reminds us that while fear is normal—whether it's fear of failure, rejection, the unknown, or not being enough—it cannot be allowed to paralyze us. Using Jeremiah's call and the boldness of the early disciples as examples, he showed that God delights in using ordinary, even unqualified people who choose to trust Him despite their fears. The call is to surrender our fears to the Lord, stop retreating to the “ships” we keep as escape routes, and instead pray for boldness, move forward in faith, and let Jesus truly be Lord over our fears. Listen and be challenged. Support the show

8-17-2025The message emphasizes the church's role in engaging with and transforming the city rather than retreating from it, even in a post-Christian culture. ​ Using Jeremiah's call to seek the welfare of the city and examples from early Christianity, Will Dyer highlights how the church can address challenges like poverty, education, and social division through small acts of love and service. ​ The church is called to be a community that plants roots, prays for the city, partners with organizations, and welcomes all people, demonstrating God's grace and glory. By doing small things with great love, the church can foster restoration and hope, ultimately sharing the gospel and transforming lives in the city. ​

Michael Gowens begins a topical mini-series with this 5/21/23 message in an attempt to develop a Biblical, pastoral theology. Using Jeremiah 3:15 as the text for the study, Gowens emphasizes the nature of the pastorate in terms of this rich metaphor of shepherding. In Scripture, spiritual leadership is always couched in these terms, whether we talk about the patriarchs, King David, or the Lord Jesus Christ himself.

Using Jeremiah 2:13 as his foundation, Worship Elder John Marshal traces a thematic journey throughout scripture of how we are called to be satisfied in God. Building off of what we've been seeing about Jesus in Matthew over the past few weeks, John teaches us why God desires us to be satisfied in Him and a few practical ways we can find satisfaction in God.

We begin a new summer sermon series this Sunday entitled "Missio Nexus: Where Life & Mission Connects." As a church, we want to be connected to God's mission where it is happening. And so over the next couple of months, we're going to look at the people and places where God would have us connect our lives with his mission. We'll look at connecting with his mission on the athletic field as well as in the neighborhood, the home, the classroom, the arts, the public square and the marketplace…all the places where we spend our time and energy. For this Sunday, I'll introduce this series, by introducing a new motto that we have adopted. Actually, you may have already heard us reference it before. It's on the teal shirts that many of us wore to the Easter Egg hunt. That motto is “In Rivermont…For Rivermont.” What we mean by that is this. We are in the Rivermont neighborhood and we are for the Rivermont neighborhood. But what does that exactly mean? Using Jeremiah 29:1-11, we'll see that it means a ministry of presence, a ministry of peace and a ministry of prayer in and for the neighborhood. I'm grateful to have one of our elders, Eric Vess, assisting me this Sunday as he will be leading us through the service as we sing the hymns, "Tell Out My Soul, The Greatness of the Lord", "Behold The Throne of God Above", "Jesus Shall Reign".

Doing justice and living justly was and is supposed to be an integral part of life under God’s rule. Yet, it is often a neglected expectation or conversation in the church. It has become an atrophied part of our spiritual maturity.Justin Giboney writes, “Young Christians are going to seek out a concept of social justice. If they can’t get it from the church then they’ll get it from secular sources. If that’s problematic for you (and it should), then don’t dismiss social justice, show them a biblical way to pursue it.”Using Jeremiah 7, we will have a conversation. We will look at the importance of justice to God; the danger of not doing justice; and the power availed to us live justly while also doing justice.

Jonathan discusses what falsehood is and how it oppresses. Using Jeremiah 3:10 & 16:19 he discusses how we can identify the lies in our lives and how we obtain freedom from them.
