Podcasts about what does god say

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I dive deep into a topic that resonates with many of us: silencing the lies that the enemy tells us. We often find ourselves battling negative thoughts and accusations that can derail our faith and confidence. I share three powerful questions designed to help dismantle these lies and reclaim our truth. I begin by acknowledging the cruel and sadistic nature of the enemy, who delights in kicking us when we're down. It's important to recognize that while the enemy is relentless, we also have the power to combat these lies. I reflect on my own journey with spiritual warfare, sharing how I initially became obsessed with control and protection, only to realize that true protection comes from trusting God as our Father. Throughout the episode, I emphasize that spiritual warfare is not about control but about understanding our legal authority in Christ. I discuss how God sometimes allows challenges in our lives to teach us resilience and to prepare us for spiritual battles. Drawing from scripture, I highlight Isaiah 54:17, which reassures us that no weapon formed against us will prevail and that we have the power to refute every accusation.   Join my newsletter!

Fear has a way of speaking loudly in our lives through uncertainty, anxiety, and the unknown. But here's the real question: When fear speaks, what does GOD say? Join us all summer long as we dive into this powerful new sermon series: "When Fear Speaks, What Does God Say?" Each week, we'll explore what the Bible says about facing fear, finding courage, and holding on to God's promises when life feels overwhelming.   Watch this message on the Authentic Life Fellowship Facebook or YouTube channel.

Talk to Me Part 2, What Does God Say? Genesis 6:1-22(MSG): 8 But Noah was different. God liked what he saw in Noah. 9-10 This is the story of Noah: Noah was a good man, a man of integrity in his community. Noah walked with God. Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 11-12 As far as God was concerned, the Earth had become a sewer; there was violence everywhere. God took one look and saw how bad it was, everyone corrupt and corrupting—life itself corrupt to the core. 13 God said to Noah, “It's all over. It's the end of the human race. The violence is everywhere; I'm making a clean sweep. 14-16 “Build yourself a ship from teakwood. Make rooms in it. Coat it with pitch inside and out. Make it 450 feet long, seventy-five feet wide, and forty-five feet high. Build a roof for it and put in a window eighteen inches from the top; put in a door on the side of the ship; and make three decks, lower, middle, and upper. 17 “I'm going to bring a flood on the Earth that will destroy everything alive under Heaven. Total destruction. 18-21 “But I'm going to establish a covenant with you: You'll board the ship, and your sons, your wife and your sons' wives will come on board with you. You are also to take two of each living creature, a male and a female, on board the ship, to preserve their lives with you: two of every species of bird, mammal, and reptile—two of everything so as to preserve their lives along with yours. Also get all the food you'll need and store it up for you and them.” 22 Noah did everything God commanded him to do. A Whisper of Action Ephesians 2:10, “You are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” 2. A Whisper of Challenge or Correction Matthew 16:21-23 From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life. 22 Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. “Never, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to you!” 23 Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.” Philippians 1:6 “Be confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” 3. A Whisper of Assurance 2 Kings 4:36-37 …He called Gehazi and said, “Get the Shunammite woman in here!” He called her and she came in. Elisha said, “Embrace your son!” She fell at Elisha's feet, face to the ground in reverent awe. Then she embraced her son and went out with him. Our losses don't change who God is.

What Does God Say?

What Does God Say?

Good morning! Join us as Rafael Valentine continues our series on 'What Does God Say?'!

What Does God Say about Open Marriage? God has designed marriage. He knows the ends and outs of it. Thanks for joining  us for a discussion on the effects of have an open marriage. Please subscribe, like and listen to this podcast. ✨ Just a correction, our anointed producer pointed out an error we made. We said it took “950” years for satan to deceive Adam and Eve, according to some theologians, the point we were making was it took the enemy years to enter the garden of Eden and it was not instantaneously. We are human and make mistakes and we are still growing in knowledge of God's word.

00:01 Hey, this is Kathy Roberts, and you are listening to the What Does God say to You, podcast. God put this on my heart to do, and so I'm doing it imperfectly, but consistently, I believe that there is so much more to the Bible and to what God has in store for us than we are walking around and acting like. I believe that churches have really let us down, and that there are so many people that do not know the power of God, the love of God, and the freedom and abundance that we have in Jesus.00:33 That's what this is all about. If you feel led to give to this work, please follow the prompt. There's a link somewhere here on this page that you can find, where you can click on it and just give whatever your heart desires.00:47 I thank you in advance. Now on with the podcast. Okay, so here we go. Peter walked on the water. They were, they were out hanging out somewhere.00:57 Jesus was teaching people and whatnot. And in verse 22 of,chapter 14 of Matthew, it says, “and straight away Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitude away.”01:18 So he was with the multitude. He sent them away and he told the disciples, you go take off while I go and do this.01:28 and he said, “when he had sent the multitude away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray.”01:36  “And when the evening was come, he was there alone, but the ship was now in the midst of the sea and tossed.”01:45 So there was a big multitude. Jesus was ministering to these people. He told the apostles, you get on a boat, you take off, I'll meet you. 01:55 So he sent the multitude away, and then he went to recharge and to be with God. And so now it says that “the ship was now in the midst of the sea that the apostles were on and tossed with waves for the wind was contrary.”02:13 So it was very, very windy. It must have been hurricane territory, hurricane situation going on. And in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went onto them walking on the sea.02:26 So now it's late and there's a storm going on. There's wind, there's waves, there's rain, and it doesn't affect Jesus.02:38 He's walking on the water, going to them, the surroundings do not affect him. He's our example. “And when the disciples saw him walking on the seat, they were troubled saying it is a spirit, and they cried out for fear.”02:55 So this is what the apostles did because now you know, they're scared for their lives to begin with. And now there's a storm and there's this, this storm that's going on, and here comes this.03:08 What they think is a spirit, a ghost, something. They're really freaked out walking on the water and they cried out for fear.03:18 And straight away, like right away, immediately “straight away, Jesus spoke unto them saying, be a good cheer,” be happy. “It is I be not afraid.”03:32 He just wanted to let them know, don't be afraid. It's me. “And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be you, bid me to come out on the water.”03:47 Like what a big, bold step this was. He, immediately did drop the fear, obviously, and he wanted to do what Jesus did.03:58 “And then Jesus said, come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.”04:10 He did it. Peter did it. He walked on the water to go to Jesus. But then what happened next? Peters took his eyes off of Jesus and put it on what he saw around him.04:23 He must have suddenly been in a place thinking, wait, what the hell am I doing? Like, you know, in the moment when he saw Jesus walking on the water, he elevated himself to a place that's like, holy crow, what is possible?04:37 What is possible? And he was elated with it. Then he actually did it, and his mind got in the way.04:45 His thoughts started coming in. And instead of him casting the thoughts out, he embraced them. “But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid.”04:58 So he saw what was around. He was like, wait a minute. Look at what's going on. Like, you could walk on the water when it's not boisterous?05:05 Oh, if it was really nice out today, this would be fine. I'd be able to walk on the water. Right?05:11 Doesn't make sense. But when he saw fear, fear never makes sense. When he walked, when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid and beginning to sink.05:24 So, you know, do you ever begin to sink being on the water? If you get in the water, what do you do? 05:29  You immediately go down. Right? Do you ever just slowly go down? But that's what was happening here, because it was to the level of his belief that was keeping him where he was so much to learn.05:42 Here, when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid. And beginning to sink, he cried saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand and caught him.06:01 Can you just picture it? Put his hand out.06:06 Peter is probably waist-deep now in the water and he saw him. You had to see his face being all frantic crazy with, with fear, grabbed him and pulled him up.06:19 And what did they do? They, they walked back. They walked back to the ship together, and he said it to him, “oh, thou of little faith, wherefore did thou doubt.”06:28 Why did you doubt? Now, I think it's hysterical here, that Jesus called him of little faith. If I walked on the water for five seconds, I would consider myself like pretty filled with faith, right?06:41 Amazing. But the reality is that we've gotta keep it. What good is it if we don't keep it? Oh, you of little faith.06:49 Wherefore did thou doubt? It was the doubt. Now doubt being that not the kind of doubt, that's like a glimmer of worry or thought because it says that Jesus, Jesus thought just like we did, yet without sin, which means that he had the same thoughts.07:07 Let me find that verse really quickly. I have my laptop open. So, Hebrew 4:15.07:16 Let's see. It says, “For we have not a high priest, which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but was in all points tempted,”that's the word I'm looking for, tempted, “but was with in all points tempted like us, yet without sin.”07:33 So It's not the thoughts that come in, it's the dwelling on the thoughts that come in. We can't help that.07:38 It's like saying that, we can't help a weed coming in the garden. You can't, but what do you gotta do?07:43 You gotta weed that garden. There's, stuff about that too. Okay? So it was in the doubt, it was in the doubt that he meditated on that he allowed to take root.07:55 “And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased then that they were with them in the ship, came and worshiped him, saying, oh, the truth that art the son of God.”08:07 All right? So there's that. But the one thing I wanted to show you right after that was this section in Matthew where Jesus was in his own hometown.08:20 Because what I wanna show you is the connection to believing, the connection to faith and how it doesn't matter.08:30 Like when people say, why does God let this happen? Why does God let this happen? It's up to us. We have free will.08:36 It's about what we think, how we believe he's there. He was there for Peter when he was walking on the water and when he was sinking?08:46 Yes. Was he sinking because Jesus made him sink? No, we have a responsibility too. We've got a responsibility. So look at what happened when he was in his own hometown.08:59 “And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence. And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue in so much that they were astonished.”09:13 “and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? Is not this the carpenter son? See, they, they knew him.09:23 They knew who he was. They knew who he was from a baby. So they're looking at him like, wait a minute, you can't be doing this.09:31 We know who you are. “Is this not the carpenter son? Is this not his mother? Mary is not his mother called Mary and his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas and his sisters.”09:46 “Are they not here with us?” Did you know that Jesus had brothers and sisters? He did. “And his sisters, are they not with us hence then has this man all this, these things.”09:57 It's like, how could this guy have all this? We know who he is. He's a carpenter son. Never think that you're not special because of where you came from or who you used to be.10:08 And Jesus was pretty incredible all the time. So if you're having naysayers around you, you're in good company.10:17 All right, ready? We're getting to the point now. “And they were offended in him, but Jesus said unto them, a prophet is not without honor saved in his own country and in his own house.”10:32 You're with your honor, everywhere else but home. and this is the verse I wanna get to.10:40 “And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.” This is the man that walked on the water, raised the dead, made the blind to see, made the lame to walk.10:53 This is the man that did all of this. Yet when he was here, there were sick people there. He couldn't help them because they had the responsibility, and he did not11:06 many mighty works there because of their unbelief. And in another section where it talks about this, it says, except healing a few sick folk like somebody with a cold or something.11:16 Because that's the level of the believing that they could have if there was somebody there that needed an arm grown, if there was somebody there that needed to be able to see if there was somebody there on their deathbed, they they didn't think he could do it.11:32 They didn't have any faith in him at all. But you know they thought, “I could be healed of a cold.” And so their level of believing they had was was minimal, they could believe for that.11:43 So now, that's what I wanted to bring into this reading about the part where Peter walked on the water and then he sank because he stopped believing.11:55 And you know, I get it because we see things all around us. And it could be scary. You do something, you expect something, you put all your work and all your heart and everything into something and you're working so hard and then all of a sudden it looks like it's not gonna work.12:10 Or nobody cares about it. Or you're working on your health or something, or you're on a diet or whatever it is.12:17 We've got to not see the negatives. Maybe you lost your job, and every time you go to get another job, you're just hearing all of these negative things. Or or diagnosis.12:34 A diagnosis that you have. Where are we gonna put our eyes? If we put our eyes on what we see, we're gonna sink.12:42 That's gonna be it. We sunk, we're done. We're gonna put our eyes on Jesus. Is it easy? No, it's not easy.12:49 But guess what? I can tell you from experience that if you stay in that place, allow the feelings. Because we're not the feelings.12:58 We can't help the feelings. Can't help the thoughts. But we can reject them. And, and if we sit with it long enough and we just take the time, instead of trying to rationalize it, push it away or push it down.13:16 Instead of doing that, if we actually take the time away from it and get with God and say, all right, God, I'm being attacked here.13:26 All I'm seeing everything that I'm seeing, I don't wanna see this. I wanna see you. Take the time away, get quiet, allow him.13:35 It says,”Let the peace of God rule in your heart.” What does that mean? Does that mean that peace of God can rule in my heart all the time?13:42 It doesn't mean that. Let the peace of God rule in your heart. So that has to be that there's gonna be sometimes that there's gonna be a lot of crap going on in the world and around you that it's gonna be hard to allow peace in there.13:57 We have to not see that, and see him. Boy, am I preaching to the choir! I needed this like you can't believe today.14:04 So this is wonderful for me. I hope it's great for you. It's not easy in the moment, but the moment's gonna come and go Anyway.14:16 We might as well let it come and go standing on faith, believing in Him rather than fearing the circumstances and what we see.14:26 Okay? So that's that. Thanks for being with me. I'm gonna say a prayer and then we'll end. Okay? Father, God, thank you so much for your word.14:32 Help us to see only you, God, regardless of the circumstances that are around us, so that we can stand in the fullness of what you are and be deliberate and have that power that you came to give us that more than abundant life.14:46 In Jesus Christ's name, I pray and I praise you, and I thank you. Amen. If You, you like this podcast, please support it.14:54 There's so much that I want to do, but I need your help. I can't do it alone.

In this episode of what does God say to you? I have combined all of Proverbs Chapter three episodes, one to five all together right here.0:11 I know that I like to listen to longer podcasts, lots of times. So if you're somebody that likes to listen to longer podcasts too, you've got it right here.0:21 It's about 45 minutes altogether. If you'd like to know how you could support my work, go into the description box or into the show notes and click the link.0:31 I really appreciate you. This is Kathy Roberts. Thanks.Hello, and welcome to our very first podcast. This is "What Does God Say to You?" where we put aside things that we say to ourselves based on what it is that we have learned through our experience.0:50 And we hold true to what God says instead. So we will contradict any negatives that we say or anything that is contrary to the word of God that comes into our hearts and into our mind.1:05 And we will counter it with the word of God. "What Does God Say to You?" That's what we want to hold on to and believe.1:15 So for the very first podcast, I'm going to read Proverbs chapter three, and we're going to break it apart a little bit.1:25 Okay? So the very first verse, it says, my son forget not my law, but let that heart keep my commandments.1:37 Now the next verse is why, why should I do that? Why should I not forget your law? Why should I let my heart keep your commandments?1:50 Because your verse two length of days and long life and peace shall they add to you? Now, this is where I first started to really dig into the word of God to find the help that I was looking for to live a better life.2:10 When I read this, I was, I was surprised and it made me realize that there are a lot of answers in here that we need to dig out.2:20 So here we go, ready? Length of days and long life and peace shall they add to you. So who does want enough time in the day, who doesn't want a long life, and who doesn't want peace?2:35 We all do next first verse three, let not mercy and truth for sake. They bind them about the neck. Write them upon the table of thine heart.2:49 That is, we want mercy and we want truth. The word of God is truth, and we want to live it.2:58 We can't live what we don't know, right? Verse four. And then why, why do we want this verse four? So shall doubt find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man.3:14 So why did we want mercy and truth? Why did we want to remember God's law and live it? Well here it says because we'll have favor and good understanding in the sight of not only God but man, verse five, trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean, not unto your own understanding in all your ways, acknowledge him.3:46 And he shall direct thy paths. This is a big, big understanding. This is a big piece of revelation right here.3:55 So much hinges. Um, this knowledge right here, trust in the Lord with all your heart. So with all of your being trust, God, and don't lean onto your own understanding.4:12 Don't lean to what we think we know in all of our ways and in how many of our ways in all of our ways or what if somebody does something really jerky to us?4:25 Well then, in that case, I should do something about it, right? Well, no, what if I'm totally right? Then I should do something about that.4:36 Right? I can get mad about that, right? No, it says in all of those ways, acknowledge him, know him in all of your ways, know him.4:50 Now we get to know him unless we know his word. Just like we can't know each other, unless we speak to each other, unless we have some form of communication with each other, we can't know each other.5:04 So how do we get to know God through his work? Because that's all we've got. These are his words in all of my ways, acknowledge him.5:14 And what will he do? He will put us on a customer road going in a certain direction.5:48 He will lead the way, but can we be led by God? If we are going our own way, if we're learning on our own understanding, no, there's a lot.If you are reading this and you feel called, and you have the time, will you join me in this calling? I need help. These episodes need show notes. Please email me Fullnrich@yahoo.com put "WDGSTY help" in the subject. Thanks.8:56 What ways God's ways, wisdom and understanding her ways are ways of pleasantness and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to them.9:09 That lay hold upon her. Here's another clue. Lay, hold upon her. Here's another clue. Happy is everyone that retains her retains.9:24 So this is saying that we could get it. We could look for it. We could hold it. We could have it, but if we don't hold onto it, we lose it.9:38 We don't only have to look for it and get it. We have to hold on to it. Here's where it says happy is everyone that retains her.9:50 Now there's another section of the Bible that we could tie into this, where Jesus talks about the sower, sows the word, and he gives an analogy of it being seed.

0:00 All right. So I said that we would get to these two verses at the end and for two reasons for that, one is because it deviates from the theme.0:12 And I wanted to really stick to the theme of this particular podcast that we had on Proverbs chapter 3, but also because there is a lot to say about it.0:24  So I'm going to read the verses now. And what we will talk about today will really define a relationship with God as a father.0:35 Okay? So it is verses 11 and 12.My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction: For whom the Lord loveth 0:45 He corrects, even as a father, the son in whom he delights. So now what does this mean?  Lots of religions and lots of, I don't know, I guess folklore, teach us that God punishes people and that he also will do things, particularly to people to teach them something.1:11 Now, nothing could be farther from the truth. It's not a punishment to offer correction. It is teaching, it's instruction. Now, will God allow us to suffer consequences?1:25 Absolutely. We have free will. If you want to jump off a building baby, go right ahead. I don't encourage it, but I can't stop you.1:35 Here's what, you know, just like you might do with your child or your parents have done with you. Um, you know, you want to get drunk at night.1:45 Well, you're not getting the keys, and don't get behind a wheel. If you have been drinking now, is it your choice to get behind the wheel?1:55 Yes. And will there be consequences? Most likely there Will, does that mean that your parent did that to you? Of course not.2:05 And this is the same thing. There are certain principles that God put forth in The World. You do something that will harm someone.2:14 There is going to be some kind of consequence to that. Our relationship will be messed up. You will be not trusted. People.2:24 Won't like you, you won't succeed in a lot of things. See what I mean? But does God send evil upon people to teach them something?2:38 No. The Bible says that God is light and in him is no darkness at all. There's also a verse in James, which we'll read right now, James chapter one, verse 13, let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God, for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither temps.3:00 He any man. So God doesn't do these things that the world says that he does?  You know, I was in a car accident many years ago and people said to me that there may be something God was trying to teach me.3:16 That's what they said. Were not a lot of people, but a few. And they meant well, they really thought that I should look to see what God was trying to teach me.3:25 But here's the thing with something like that. If I believed that God wanted me in that car accident, then how could I ever go against his will to get better?3:39 Obviously he wanted me to be broken if that was the case. And if we believe that God wants something that's bad in our lives to be evident in our lives, then how could we go in with faith in prayer to change what we what's God's will. It is it's not God's will to hurt us.4:06 It's not his way to hurt people. It Is pretty foundational because we want our relationship with our heavenly father. We want a relationship with God so that we could walk with him and so that we could know him.4:25 Remember that verse in Proverbs, chapter three in all of your ways, acknowledge him. And if you look up that word acknowledge, it could literally be translated, "know" in all your ways, know him and he will direct thy paths.4:44 So what I do with this portion of Proverbs chapter three, where it says, "My son despise, not the chastening of the Lord, neither be weary of his correction for whom the Lord love.4:57 He's correct. Even as a father, the son in whom he delights."  I see this as another way for him to show us that there are ways of the world that if violated will harm us, just like if you put your finger in a light socket, you violated the law of electricity and there is a consequence to that.5:27 There's a cause and there's an effect. When I'm living my life and something happens like maybe a fender bender or I don't know, anything that is in the negative.5:40 I know that, that wasn't God's will for me. So instead of me going to the place in my life where I might say, "Oh no, all of these bad things are happening to me!"5:51 "How could this have happened to me?"  or something negative... I see it as a positive. And I say, "Thank you God, for this opportunity to live life and not see it as a terrible thing, but how wonderful that I get to breathe air, be in the sunshine and live the life that's before me."  In the meantime, my eyes are looking at you and I trust that you will bring me and put me on that customary road going in a certain direction.6:31 He's our father and loves us as a good father would love their child. So that's that! I hope it was helpful.6:41 Don't forget to check out TheTidyTutor.com.

0:00 Hello, and welcome to our very first podcast. This is "What Does God Say to You?"  where we put aside the things that we say to ourselves based on what it is that we have learned through our experience. 0:15 And we hold true to what God says instead. So we will contradict any negatives that we say or anything that is contrary to the word of God that comes into our hearts and into our minds. 0:30 And we will counter it with the word of God. What does God say to you? That's what we want to hold on to and believe. 0:40 So for the very first podcast, I'm going to read Proverbs chapter three, and we're going to break it apart a little bit. 0:50 Okay? So the very first verse, it says, my son, forget not my law, but let the heart keep my commandments. 1:02 Now, the next verse is why, why should I do that? Why should I not forget your law? Why should I let my heart keep your commandments? 1:15 Because in verse two lengthen of days long life and peace. Shall they add to you? Now? This is where I first started to really dig into the word of God to find the help that I was looking for to live a better life. 1:35 When I read this, I was, surprised and it made me realize that there are a lot of answers in here that we need to dig out. 1:46 So here we go, ready? Length of days and long life and peace shall they add to you? So who doesn't want enough time in the day, who doesn't want a long life, and who doesn't want peace? 2:00 We all do. In verse three, let not mercy and truth for sake thee. Bind them about the neck. Write them upon the table of thine heart. 2:15 This is, we want mercy and we want truth. The word of God is truth, and we want to live it. 2:23 We can't live what we don't know, right? Verse four: And then why, why do we want this verse four? So shall doubt find favor and good understanding in the sight of God, man. 2:40 So why do we want mercy and truth? Why did we want to remember God's law and live it? Well here it says because we'll have favor and good understanding in the sight of not only God but man, verse five Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean, not unto your own understanding in all your ways, acknowledge him. 3:11 And he shall direct thy paths. This is a big, big understanding. This is a big piece of revelation right here. So much hinges.on this knowledge right here, 3:21 trust in the Lord with all your heart. So with all of your being trust God, don't lean unto your own understanding. 3:38 Don't lean to what we think we know in all of our ways... and how many of our ways? In all of our ways, well, what if somebody does something really jerky to us? 3:51 Well then in that case, I should do something about it, right? Well, no, what if I'm totally right? Then I should do something about that. 4:01 Right? I can get mad about that, right? No, it says in all of those ways, acknowledge him, know him in all of your ways, know him. 4:15 How can we know him unless we know his word? Just like we can't know each other, unless we speak to each other, unless we have some form of communication.

Loneliness has a significant effect on our health,  diabetes, anxiety, depression, addictions, suicide. It also seems like loneliness is the perfect soil for sin to flourish. If I were Satan, that would certainly be my goal - to get people lonely and isolated. Naturally, our hearts are prone to wander, to harden, and to sin. The allurements of the world never stop lying to us and calling us away from the living God. Our sinful nature wants cheap substitutes for the real rest God offers in Christ, and the world is eager to offer them to us. The truth is, we really aren't as self-reliant as we like to portray. We are constantly looking at those around us to get our cues. That inter-dependence is nothing new. God, after all, created us for community. “It is not good for man to be alone” (Genesis 2:18).  It was the only time God declared something in his creation not good before sin entered the world. In today's verses, we look at how we can find the true rest and peace we crave, and how we can help each other find it.This is the VERSED podcast; a daily pursuit to become more perceptive to what the Bible says. If you would like to dive deeper into certain verses in the Bible, have a verse you would like to submit to have included in a future episode, have questions about the Bible that you would like answered in a bonus episode, or simply want to connect with me... text VERSED to 88474 or click hereAlso included in that link is a list of resources and references I use in this podcast and can help you grow deeper in your faith as well. As always – ratings and reviews are massive!

This morning we’re starting a brand new summer sermon series called, “What Would You Ask?”  We invited you to submit questions that you would ask the Lord.  And you accepted the invitation!  We received dozens of questions.  From them we’ve chosen six that we will try to answer from God’s word over the next six Sundays.    Let me give you an idea of some of the questions that we will tackle in coming weeks:                 “Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People?”               “What Does God Say about Sexual Identity?”               “Why Doesn’t God Answer My Prayers?”               “Can Faith and Science Coexist?”               “Can Man Be Free and God Be Sovereign?”   I hope you will join us for the entire series.  We also are planning to do a Facebook live chat each week to answer questions that arise from the questions we answer.                We begin today by tackling a question that could be seen by some as offensive.  I want to ask you beforehand not to take offense.  I’ll read the questions as it was submitted, “Will Catholics go to heaven?”    Out of curiosity I googled this question and the first result that popped up (after an ad) was “Can Non-Catholics Go to Heaven?”  Isn’t that funny?  The same question that some may have about Catholics, Catholics have about some of us!   This morning’s question could actually be posed for all denominations: “Will Baptists go to heaven?”  “Will Methodists go to heaven?”  That same question could be broadened beyond denominations to other faiths or religions.  Mormons?  Muslims?  Jews?   I’m reminded of an oft-told story about heaven.  A new arrival was getting a tour.  As he walked alongside an angel down a long hallway, they came to a room where the folks where excited.  They were shouting, clapping, shaking a tambourine, and running.  “Those are the Pentecostals,” said the angel.  Soon they came to another room.  The folks were solemn.  A priest in a colorful robe was in procession with candles and liturgy.  They were sharing the Holy Eucharist.  “Those are the Anglicans,” said the angel.  Soon they approached a third room.  The angel began tiptoeing and whispered, “Shhhh. Those are the Baptists and they think they’re the only ones here.”   Ouch.  Sometimes we might think that we are the only ones that are going to be in heaven.  It’s been said that when we get to heaven, two things will surprise us: who’s there and who’s not there.    We are going to look at God’s word in an effort to answer this question: “Will [You Fill in the Blank] Go to Heaven?”   What Would You Ask? “Will [You-Fill-in-the-Blank] Go to Heaven?” John 3:1-16   Religious denomination His high rank His healthy roots Real dilemma We are dead before Christ We are dependent on Christ Remarkable deliverance Heaven responded Heart receives
