The Advent Of, Joy, Week 3. In this Week 3 message of Christmas at Vertical, we explore how the good news of the gospel interrupts our lives with great joy and transforms us into bearers of that joy to the world.

Discover how joy isn't just a momentary interruption but a consistent theme we can live out every day. Be encouraged to embrace the joy of the gospel and share it with those around you this Christmas season.

Are You Hungry for More of God? The message emphasizes that God specifically satisfies those who are hungry for more of God. Using Luke 1:53 and Psalm 107:9, the pastor teaches that being hungry for more of God leads to three transformative outcomes: First, God fills those who hunger for Him with good things. Second, this spiritual hunger drives believers to wait upon the Lord, renewing their strength. Third, consistent waiting in God's presence leads to a deep soaking in His anointing, breaking burdens. The key message is that being hungry for more of God attracts His presence and power.
Advent begins in the dark. We can't ignore the injustice, sorrow, and loss—the darkness—all around us. To have a deep abiding hope we must first honestly acknowledge this reality. Using Luke 21 and Zechariah 14 as the background, Pastor Jordan Kologe orients us to Advent being a season to recognize the darkness and to trust God in it, anticipating the coming light of Christ.
Today, Provost of Living Faith Bible Institute Brandon Briscoe discusses a new book with author John Wright, Prodigals: Hope for Lost Sons and Daughters, Regretful or Longsuffering Parents, and Bitter Brethren. Whether you're a parent, sibling, or friend, you've likely felt the sting of a loved one abandoning you or the faith for a life of wandering in the world. There are complex emotions tangled up in this hurt—anger at the offense, confusion at the decision, bitterness at the rejection, and grief at the loss, among many others. It is a great comfort that this phenomenon is not estranged from God, and He has laid out stories and principles in His Word that can guide us in this process. Prodigals uses the story of the prodigal son to walk through a biblical perspective of loved ones' hurtful decisions but also a biblical perspective of our own hearts as we learn to reckon that hurt rightly. Using Luke 15 as the guiding passage, we follow along with the prodigal son as he rejects his father's provision, seeks fulfillment in the world, is greatly humbled, and returns penitent to a welcoming father. This story outlines for us the typical trajectory of a prodigal, and in so doing, it offers hope to those who, like the father, are patiently waiting at home for their loved one's return. Prodigals also addresses other heart postures woven into this story, speaking specifically to those who may be wrestling with bitterness, envy, and skepticism at a prodigal's decisions, or to those who may be prodigals themselves. Through God's Word we come to learn that God's heart is one of grace, longsuffering, and reconciliation, and as believers in Jesus Christ, we get to adopt that same heart towards our children, siblings, and friends who have wandered.

Pastor Femi Paul led the church in prayers on "Strength to Obtain God's Promise". Using Luke 22:41-43 (NKJV) as the lead scripture, he illustrated Jesus' moment of intense prayer and divine strengthening: > "And He was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and He knelt down and prayed, saying, 'Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.' Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him." Pastor Femi emphasized that divine strength is essential to fulfill God's promises. Just as Jesus was strengthened by an angel in His moment of need, we too require heavenly strength to endure and triumph. He emphasized that in moments of deep struggle, God provides strength, just as He did for Jesus. He further highlighted 1 Samuel 2:9 (AMPC): > "For by strength shall no man prevail." Reflecting on these scriptures, he reminded us that human effort alone is insufficient. True victory comes from relying on God's power and aligning with His will. Let's draw strength from God, trusting Him to empower us to obtain His promises in our lives.
4/7/24 Misty Creek Community Church Sermon: "Returning to Discipleship, Pt.1" Matthew 28:18-20 This Sunday's sermon explores the theme of discipleship based on selected biblical texts and personal anecdotes. Using Luke 19:10 and Matthew 28:18-20 as foundational texts, I will emphasize the responsibility of each believer to actively seek out others and teach them the ways of Christ. I will also address the necessity of resisting cultural influences antagonistic to Christian discipleship, a process I underscore through my own practices like prayer, evangelism, and community engagement.The message is that discipleship involves more than doctrines and rituals—it's an everyday practice, shaped by relationships and persistent outreach to those far from God. I will further explore the concept of discipleship through a real-world example: the life of Evan Mawaire, a pastor and activist from Zimbabwe, who endured persecution because of his faith. The sermon connects Evan's resilience and ongoing commitment to evangelism with believers' obligation to share their faith, emphasizing the transformative power of the gospel.The sermon concludes with a call for bold discipleship, using every available platform to make disciples in the community. I want to encourage the congregation to see themselves in the story of Evan Mawaire, reminding them that discipleship is just as much about living out one's faith by defending the rights of the needy and oppressed as it is about sharing the Gospel.-Grace and Peace,Stephen Senior Pastor, Stephen Streett
Welcome to the Connect Podcast with Cole Phillips! In this episode, we're diving into the significance of preparation in both monumental adventures and spiritual endeavors. Imagine the monumental challenge of climbing Mount Everest. It requires rigorous training, thorough preparation, and a vast array of specialized equipment. Just like climbing Everest, Easter weekend is a big deal for us as Christ-followers, requiring meticulous preparation. Cole draws parallels between the preparation needed for climbing Everest and the spiritual preparation required for Easter. Just as climbers need various tools and gear, we too need spiritual tools and readiness for what God has in store for us. Using Luke 9:51-56 as a foundation, Cole emphasizes Jesus's unwavering commitment to His mission despite rejection. He encourages us to prepare spiritually and practically, just as Jesus sent messengers ahead to prepare for His arrival. Through reflection on the disciples' reaction to rejection, Cole highlights the importance of maintaining focus on the mission of reaching the lost, rather than being deterred by rejection. With Easter approaching, Cole shares strategies for spiritual growth, reaching out to others, serving, and giving. From committing to prayer to inviting others to Easter services, every action contributes to the Kingdom's work. As Victory Sunday approaches, Cole invites listeners to participate in a special offering to support the vision of A Place to Call Home, emphasizing the impact of collective generosity. Ultimately, Cole underscores the core message of Easter: Christ's death and resurrection. This central truth is what we celebrate, and our preparation and actions during this season reflect our commitment to spreading the Good News. Join us as we prepare spiritually and practically for Easter, anticipating the transformative impact of celebrating Christ's victory over death. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cole-phillips2/support

In Star Wars episode 9 we will see Kylo's lightsaber...however let's go over a theory I have regarding the use of Luke's GREEN lightsaber crystal. I believe Kylo took his lightsaber upon the destruction of the Jedi Temple (we saw flashbacks in The Last Jedi) and tried to make it bleed, however, he failed. If he didn't take Luke's, then he made his own crystal bleed, and failed. This is my theory on why his lightsaber flickers and what we could possibly expect...who knows until Episode 9 comes out. What do you think? That'd be cool if he's using Qu-Gon Jinn's lightsaber that Luke Skywalker took from Obi-Wan Kenobi's possession. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Using Luke 24-44, Pastor Geehan shows how the early church preached the gospel from the Old Testament before the New was written.

Welcome to Let's Talk, where we'll explore the essential steps to lead a soul to Christ. In this blog post, we break down the key lessons from our video, designed to be easily understood, even by 8th graders. Learn how to guide others to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior, understand the concept of man as a lost sinner, explore the eternal consequences of sin, realize the need for spiritual rebirth, and assure salvation. Highlights 1. Understanding the Concept of Man as a Lost Sinner To lead someone to Christ, first, you must prove that man is a lost sinner. Refer to Romans 3:23, Romans 3:10, and Romans 5:12 to illustrate that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. 2. Exploring the Eternal Consequences of Sin It's crucial to explain that sin has eternal consequences. Quoting Romans 6:23, John 3:18, and John 3:36 emphasizes that sin leads to spiritual death and eternal separation from God. 3. The Need for Spiritual Rebirth: Being Born Again Convey that man needs to be born again, as per John 3:3. Unless one is born again, they cannot see the kingdom of heaven. This is a fundamental step to recognize the need for salvation. 4. Steps to Being Born Again: Repentance Repentance is key in the journey to salvation. Using Luke 13:3, Luke 13:5, and Acts 17:30, clarify that repentance is a sincere change of heart and mind, turning away from sin and toward Jesus Christ. 5. Steps to Being Born Again: Confession Emphasize the importance of confessing sins. Reference 1 John 1:9 and Romans 10:9-10, explaining that confession is an essential part of the salvation process. 6. Steps to Being Born Again: Belief and Acceptance Belief is crucial in salvation. Encourage belief in Jesus as the only way to God, drawing from Acts 16:31, John 1:12, and Romans 10:13. 7. Assurance of Salvation Reassure that salvation is a secure gift. Quoting 1 John 5:13, John 10:28-30, John 6:47, and John 3:36, highlight that once saved, believers have eternal life, and no one can take it away. Applying the Knowledge: Leading Others to Christ Put your newfound knowledge into practice by sharing the truth of salvation with friends, family, and others in your life. Use the verses mentioned in this post to guide your conversations and demonstrate Christ's love through your actions. Be an ambassador of Christ and make a positive impact on someone's eternity. If you have questions or need guidance, don't hesitate to reach out for support on your journey to lead others to Christ. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gnbc/message

Another awesome excerpt from Paul Duncan's The Star Wars Archives book.

Episode 68: "While they were expressing thanks to him with songs and palm branches [as he made his triumphal entry into Jerusalem], he was weeping because he knew that despite those exterior signs and decorations their hearts were far from him." – St. John of the Cross, The Ascent of Mount Carmel (Book 3, Chapter 38) Despite all the exterior signs of our preparedness for the birth of Christ (that is, the presents and decorations and cookies and cards, just to name a few), are our hearts far from the Lord's?

Advent is a time of repentance, helping us get ready to meet with Jesus as we celebrate at Christmas and also as we look forward to his return. Using Luke 3:7-20, Mike Keggie helps us think about some of the ways we can do this.
Using Luke 10:25-37 and especially verse 36, we will see how Jesus became for us the neighbour that nobody wanted, so that we can love our neighbour as ourselves even if we are the neighbour they don’t want! This affects the way we see those around us. It's not because they've become something different, but because we have. And because this love of Christ is worked in me through the Holy Spirit, I must love my neighbour UNCONDITIONALLY with the honour of God always in mind.
I'm really excited to share this two-part podcast with you, as it's something that God has been giving me for the past few weeks. Using Luke 9 and Luke 10 as a background, we talk about what it means to be a neighbor, and why the Parable of the Good Samaritan wasn't just a parable of how we should treat others, but that it personified what Jesus had been leading by example of for most of his ministry here on earth.

Pastor Adrian concludes our study on the book of Isaiah. Using Luke 4 where Jesus reads from the scroll of Isaiah Pastor Adrian poses an important question to the people of God, especially the Church in America, Is Jesus welcomed here? We see that even in his hometown Jesus was not welcomed because his intention has always been to build a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural church that is built of every nation and people group. So we will have to decide if we will be like Jesus' hometown and not welcome Him because of His desire for diversity, or will we go against the grain of our current cultural climate and partner with Jesus to build His diverse Church.

This message is Part 5 of the series “The Miracle Of Mercy” by Pastor Chuck Bernal. In this message Pastor Chuck talks about “From Messy To Mercy”.

No one is too far away for FORGIVENESS In this message, Pastor Chuck shares with us how we can move from MESSY to MERCY. Using Luke 15 and the stories Jesus told about a lost sheep, a lost coin and a lost son and how each of those teach us how important and valuable lost people are to God and how we can find our way back to our Father. This message was delivered at LifePointe Church on Sunday, October 16, 2016.
