Paul answers some of life's deepest fears—guilt, condemnation, suffering, doubt, and even death—with a simple but profound truth: God is for us.In this lesson, we explore:• What Paul means when he asks, "If God is for us, who can be against us?" • How the cross proves God's love and commitment to His people • Why Christ's death, resurrection, reign, and intercession give believers confidence • What it means to be "more than conquerors" through Christ • Why suffering is not evidence that God has abandoned us • The promise that nothing can separate God's children from His loveWhether you're struggling with guilt from past sins, facing difficult circumstances, or simply needing encouragement in your walk with Christ, Romans 8 offers unwavering hope and assurance.Key Passage: Romans 8:31–39"In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us."If this lesson encouraged you, consider liking, subscribing, and sharing it with someone who needs to hear the hope found in Christ.#Romans8 #MoreThanConquerors #GodIsForUs #ChristianHope #BibleSermon #Faith #JesusChrist #NoCondemnation #NoSeparation #ChurchOfChrist

In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins explains the difference between true biblical spirituality and counterfeit spirituality. In today's culture, many claim to be spiritual, yet Scripture warns that not all spirituality comes from God. True spirituality is rooted in God's Word, centered on Jesus Christ, and produces the fruit of the Spirit. Counterfeit spirituality, however, begins with the self, elevates experience over truth, and leads people away from Christ even while sounding Christian. This episode explores: • The foundation of true spirituality in God's Word • The dangers of self-centered spirituality • Why Christ must remain central • The marks of genuine spiritual fruit • Practical questions for discernment Christians are called to test everything by Scripture and to grow in discernment so that they remain anchored in Christ.

Passover, the Blood of Jesus, and God's Protection in Perilous Times | KIB 524 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description: In this powerful episode of the Kingdom Intelligence Briefing, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake shift from their planned teaching to focus on the urgent spiritual realities of this Passover season. As global tensions rise and uncertainty increases, they call the remnant to center their faith on the power of the blood of Jesus, the meaning of Passover, and the believer's need to remain aligned with God's covenant in the days ahead. Mary Lou opens with an exhortation to pray for soldiers, families, and the body of Christ, while also encouraging believers to keep their hope anchored in God's purposes. Dr. Lake then unpacks the prophetic significance of Passover, showing how it represents protection from judgment, deliverance from bondage, and the covenant security found only under the blood of the Lamb. This episode also includes a moving time of communion / the Lord's Supper, with teaching on the broken body and shed blood of Jesus, connecting Passover to both personal healing and covenant faithfulness. If you need encouragement, spiritual focus, and a renewed awareness of what Christ has accomplished for you, this episode will strengthen your heart. As we move through increasingly perilous times, this message is a timely reminder: What is under the blood is protected by God.

Shaking the City | Palm Sunday Sermon | Matthew 21:1–10 What happens when Jesus enters a city—and everything begins to shift? In this Palm Sunday sermon, Shaking the City, Dr. Lewis Galloway reflects on Jesus' entry into Jerusalem, where celebration and expectation quickly give way to something deeper. The crowds shout "Hosanna!", but beneath the surface, the whole city is stirred—unsettled, even shaken. This message invites us to consider what it means for Jesus to enter not just a city, but our lives. In this sermon, we explore: The difference between celebration and true transformation The temptation to settle for comfortable or convenient faith What it means to live fully rather than "partly living" How following Jesus may disrupt our routines and assumptions Why Christ becomes the only unshakable foundation in our lives As we begin Holy Week, we are invited not just to observe the story—but to step into it. To follow Jesus in a way that may stretch us, challenge us, and ultimately reshape how we live. Preached at First Presbyterian Church of Charlotte on March 29, 2026.

“I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.”This isn't just a statement to memorize—it's the foundation of everything we believe.In this message, we explore:-Why the name Jesus literally means “God saves”-Why Christ isn't a last name—but a title meaning the Anointed One-How Jesus fulfills the roles of Prophet, Priest, and King-What it really means that Jesus is the eternal Son of God (not created, but fully divine)-Why the confession “Jesus is Lord” is both personal AND powerful-And how the incarnation proves that God didn't just rule over us, but that He stepped into our world and became one of us.The same Jesus who rules over everything is the God who understands everything you're walking through. If you've ever wondered what God is like—look at Jesus. And if the church forgets truths like these… we don't just lose clarity—we lose our future.

Did Jesus reject political power as inherently satanic? In this episode, Cory Wing, Tim Bushong, Matt Plett, and Mike D’Virgilio respond to comments from Rhett McLaughlin suggesting that Christians seeking political influence are embracing the temptation Satan offered Christ.Is that what the temptation narrative actually teaches? The hosts carefully examine the biblical text, its historical context, and the theological implications of Christ’s rejection of Satan’s offer. They argue that this popular interpretation misunderstands both the nature of Christ’s kingship and the legitimate role of political authority under God. From a robust, postmillennial perspective, they present:- Why Christ rejected Satan’s offer — and what that rejection really means - The difference between unlawful power and lawful authority - Why pietist and anabaptist instincts often distort this passage - The necessity of political power rightly ordered under Christ - A positive, hopeful vision for Christianity in public lifeThis isn’t about partisan politics. It’s about whether Jesus is Lord over all of life — including civil authority.

Because God has already blessed His people in Christ, Paul doesn't move to pressure - he moves to prayer. In Ephesians 1:15–23, Paul prays that the Father would give believers Spirit-given wisdom and revelation so they truly know their hope, their inheritance, and the immeasurable greatness of God's power toward them - power proven in the risen and reigning Jesus, Head of the church. In this message, Pastor David shows how Christian life is lived from grace, under Christ's reign, and in dependence on the Spirit - not from anxiety, hype, or self-effort.

We're all familiar with the thrill of the hunt—searching for something valuable, meaningful, or life-changing. Whether it's a hidden treasure, a priceless discovery, or a long-sought answer, the pursuit reveals what we value most. In this message from Matthew 13:44–46, Jesus tells two short parables that reveal the greatest treasure of all—the Kingdom of Heaven—and why nothing compares to it.In the parable of the hidden treasure and the pearl of great value, we see two different paths to discovery. One man stumbles upon the treasure unexpectedly, while another spends his life searching for it. Though their journeys differ, their response is the same: overwhelming joy and a willingness to give up everything else to gain what they've found.This sermon reminds us that the treasure Jesus offers isn't merely eternal life someday—it's His reign, rule, and saving work in our lives right now. When we truly see the value of Christ, it changes how we live, what we pursue, and what we're willing to release. The issue isn't what we give up—it's the greatness of what we gain.As we begin a new year, this message challenges us to take an honest inventory of our hearts. What do our schedules reveal about our priorities? What do our finances say about what we treasure? And most importantly—have we truly seen the incomparable worth of Jesus Christ?✔ How people discover Jesus in different ways✔ Why Christ is worth more than anything else✔ What a transformed response to the gospel looks like✔ How joy naturally flows from treasuring Christ✔ Why 2026 is an opportunity to realign our prioritiesWhether you're seeking, stumbling, or standing at a crossroads, this message invites you to see Jesus for who He truly is—the greatest treasure imaginable.

What does Revelation mean when it says there will be “no longer any sea”? Does this mean no beaches in heaven? No oceans? In today's episode of Ask Dr. E, Dr. Michael Easley explains the biblical symbolism of the sea, the continuity between this earth and the New Heaven and New Earth, and why the glory of Christ will overshadow every earthly landscape we imagine. We look at Genesis, Revelation 20–21, millennial views, and the tension between literal and symbolic imagery. Most importantly, Dr. E reminds us that eternity will be physical, joyful, purposeful, and more beautiful than anything we cling to now.

Will there really be a Third Temple in Jerusalem? Or has the Temple already been fulfilled in Christ?In this episode, Stephen Boyce and Pat May examine one of the most debated questions in Bible prophecy. We'll explore why a physical third temple is unnecessary and how Jesus Himself is the final Temple, as revealed in John's Gospel (John 2:19-21) and Revelation (21-22).We'll also expose how Dispensationalist interpretations of Ezekiel's Temple and Revelation often miss the point of the New Covenant. Ezekiel's visionary temple and John's apocalyptic imagery are not blueprints for future construction—they're prophetic symbols fulfilled in Christ and His Church.What we'll cover:Why Christ is the ultimate Temple of God (John 1:14, John 2:19-21)Problems with rebuilding a Temple under the Law of Moses todayHow Ezekiel's Temple points to a spiritual reality, not a future buildingMisinterpretations of Revelation by DispensationalistsThe Church as God's Temple (1 Corinthians 3, Ephesians 2)Why focusing on Christ as the Temple transforms worship and prophecyJoin us as we bring clarity to one of the most misunderstood eschatological topics.#BibleProphecy #ThirdTemple #Eschatology #Dispensationalism #BookOfRevelation #EzekielTemple #ChristTheTemple #NewCovenant #EndTimesDebate #FACTSPodcast #StephenBoyce

What if it took a near-death experience to wake you up to God's calling on your life?   In this powerful episode of The Super Human Life, Pastor Dave Scarlett shares the radical moment that shattered his corporate identity and launched him into a global mission to bring faith and freedom to a billion souls. But this conversation isn't just about Pastor Dave's story—it's about what God is calling YOU to do.   We unpack the real meaning of faith in a world full of noise, why tradition isn't enough, and how the enemy uses comfort, technology, and confusion to keep men spiritually dead. Pastor Dave also shares hard-earned wisdom on marriage, forgiveness, and finding divine purpose—even if you're stuck in a corporate grind.   If you've ever questioned your faith, felt spiritually dry, or wondered if God still speaks—this conversation will ignite something inside of you.   This isn't religion. This is war. And it's time to suit up.    

Why Christ died and rose from the dead has everything to do with humanity's greatest enemy: death. Pastor Dan Rude explains how Christ offers a living hope, a hope that transforms our lives through forgiveness, fellowship with God and the promise of eternal life.

Why would Jesus repeatedly speak about His death before it happened? What made His crucifixion different from any other? In this powerful resurrection season message, Pastor Roderick Webster dives into the need, nature, and impact of Christ's death—and why it changes everything.From the announcement of His death, to its necessity due to God's holiness and man's sin, to its ultimate victory over Satan and the grave—this devotion reminds us that the Cross was no accident. It was part of God's plan to restore the relationship broken in the Garden of Eden.

The Truth About Matthew 13:44 | Israel as God's Treasure

Send us a textSome modern believers question the deity of Christ. They challenge—and some even flat out deny—that Jesus is God. Yet, the belief that Jesus is divine goes all the way back to the earliest years of the Christian faith, and it comes straight out of the mouth of Jesus Himself , and the biblical text. So that particular doctrine of the Deity of Christ has withstood many challenges and heresies.  In this video, we look at the Scriptural reasons why Christians believe Jesus is divine and why it matters. We look at it from three different perspectives: (1.) Direct statements made by Jesus claiming to be God, (2.) Christ's indirect statements that presuppose His divinity and that would be either nonsensical or sheer evil for someone to say if they weren't God, and (3. ) we'll look at a few examples from the Bible where Jesus does things that only God can do. Defending the Biblical Roots of ChristianityOur websiteOur YouTube ChannelProf. Solberg's BlogSupport our Ministry (Thank you!)Chapters00:00 Introduction02:59 Why Christ's Divinity Matters10:15 Jesus' Direct Statements of Divinity18:38 Jesus' Indirect Statements of Divinity24:44 Jesus and God-only Things27:54 Jesus Christ, Born of a Woman29:54 Wrap it up, Professor

On today's Equipping You in Grace show, Dave and Dawn consider current statistics on biblical illiteracy and biblical authority, rightly handling Scripture in context, the dangers of deliverance and how it approaches the Bible, interprets, and applies the Word. What you'll hear in this episode Current statistics on biblical illiteracy and biblical authority. The importance of understanding Scripture in context and handling Scripture rightly. The importance of biblical discernment and testing those with any kind of platform. Why Christ is the focus and object of our faith. The danger of deliverance from how it approaches the Bible, interprets, and applies the Word. The dangers of generational curse and how that teaching contradicts biblical interpretation.
