Episode 2: In the beginning was the Word (John 1:1) and this Word was fully God and Jesus existed in the beginning. It is true that this Word is Christ but at the same time God's words were the Bible. Rick and Steve talk about the difference and the sameness of His Word.

What is the source of our peace? Messiah Yeshua said, “My peace I leave with you, not as the world gives I leave with you.” If He is the Word (John 1:14), then it's the Word of Elohim that brings peace to us. What can cause the Word not to take root in the soil of our lives and block the peace that it could bring? Starting this teaching in Matthew 13:18, Rabbi Steve Berkson breaks down Yeshua's parable of the Sower and the Seed to show something about worry that may have slipped by many of us. From there, Rabbi Berkson goes to Philippians 4:4-9, a well-known verse and a favorite of many, to elaborate on some encouragement from the apostle Paul to his students and assembly as he says, “Do not worry at all.” Then, he gives a process for how that is possible.

In Ephesians 6:11,13, Paul commands us to put on the whole Armour of God (which God provides to us through His Word). Then in v14-18 he describes the 7 pieces of the Armour of God. Derek shares about the Belt of Truth and how to put it on (v14), and the Sword of the Spirit, which is the spoken word (rhema) of God (v17), and how they work together. The Belt of Truth consists of God's Word (John 17:17), which we are to put on tight by wrapping our heart around with His commands and promises, bringing our thoughts into alignment (1Pet 1:13). Our Belt consists of the Word of God that we know and have embraced until it is part of us. It is the foundational piece of Armour, which is why it is mentioned first (the sword, shield and breastplate were attached to it). If loose, the whole armour falls apart. The Sword of the Spirit fits in the Belt. In a fight, a soldier pulls his sword from his belt. Likewise, in a spiritual fight, we pull a Scripture-Sword from our Belt of Scriptures as quickened by the Spirit, and put in our mouth and speak it. It will then go forth in the power of the Spirit against the enemy. God's Word is like a sharp sword (Hebrews 4:12). Jesus used His Sword 3 times to defeat Satan, saying: "it is written" (Matthew 4:3-10). For the Sword to work we must first have our Belt on tight (know the Word well). We also see the Sword in action in Revelation 12:11, Isaiah 54:17, and Psalm 149:6-9.

Jesus is the Word. As such, He is the eternal and divine Creator who is the source and sustainer of life. He is also the victorious Savior who secures the right for people to become children of God. And He is the unique Son of God who takes on humanity and ultimately reveals the Father.

Today you will hear of the importance of the transformative power of God the Holy Spirit and the evidence of genuine discipleship through the biblical practice of obedience as “fruit” in and thru the lives of disciples of Jesus! The plain ol' truth... without the presence of God the Holy Spirit, true spiritual growth and regeneration cannot occur. It takes total reliance on the Holy Spirit for authentic spiritual life and the cultivation of characteristics reflecting that of Jesus' to "prove" you are a one of His disciples.God's Word:John 16; John 14; Acts 4:13; 2 Timothy 4; Matthew 17; John 1:1; John 1:14; Ephesians 2:10; Ephesians 4; Ephesians 2; 1 John 4; Genesis 2; Proverbs 7; Genesis 3; Ephesians 1; 1 Corinthians 12; Romans 5; John 3; Ecclesiastes 3; Hebrews 12; James 4; Romans 6; 2 Peter 3; Habakkuk 1; Numbers 32; Hebrews 4; Hebrews 10; Matthew 5; Email: walkingtheway3@gmail.com
The Word (John 1:1-18)
On Sunday, February 2, 2025, Pastor Joe Troutman preached "One Through the Word" from John 17:11-19."Jesus Christ unifies his people through his word, by securing us, by sanctifying us, and by sending us."1. The Word Secures (vs. 11,12)2. The Word Sanctifies (vs. 13-17)3. The Word Sends (vs. 18,19)
"Abide InThe Word" - John 15:5-11 - Pastor Mike Bussey (Deepen 2025)
Who do you allow to shape your thoughts and beliefs? What voices & sources do you typically listen to? Reject? One of the marks of a Christian is their commitment to taking God at His Word. Does that describe you, or are their competing voices drowning out the Word? Come, let's learn from the example of Jesus' disciples!
Pastor Luke continued the series, "Following Jesus Together" by preaching about Jesus' followers living according to His Word. He said, "As believers walk in friendship with Jesus they live according to His Word."

Transformative Truth: The glory of God has come into the world in the person of Jesus. Now Jesus did many other [miraculous] signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. - John 20:30-31 The glory of God has come into the world in the person of Jesus. The Word John 1:1-5 1 Long ago God spoke many times and in many ways to our ancestors through the prophets. 2 And now in these final days, he has spoken to us through his Son. … And through the Son he created the universe. 3 The Son radiates God's own glory and expresses the very character of God…. - Hebrews 1:1-3 “In the beginning the Word was existing. And the Word was in fellowship with God the Father. And the Word was as to His essence absolute deity.” How precious is your steadfast love, O God! … For with you is the fountain of life; in your light do we see light. - Psalm 36:7, 9 The Witness John 1:6-8 What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. - 1 Cor. 3:5-7 The World John 1:9-13 Behold what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! - 1 John 3:1 The Wonder John 1:14-18
When he was younger, my son Xavier and I read a fictional children’s story about a boy who rebelled against his teacher by referring to a pen by a made-up name. The student convinced his fellow fifth graders to use the new name he created for pens. News about the boy’s replacement word spread through the whole town. Eventually, people across the country changed the way they referred to pens, simply because others accepted one boy’s made-up reality as a universal truth. Throughout history, flawed human beings have embraced ever-changing versions of truth or personal preferred realities to suit their desires. However, the Bible points to one truth, the one true God, and one way to salvation—the Messiah—though which “the glory of the Lord will be revealed” (Isaiah 40:5). The prophet Isaiah affirmed that people, like all created things, are temporal, fallible, and unreliable (vv. 6-7). He said, “The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever” (v. 8). Isaiah’s prophecy of the coming Messiah provides a dependable foundation, a safe refuge, and a secured hope. We can trust God’s word because Jesus Himself is the Word (John 1:1). Jesus is the Truth who never changes.
John 5:19-47. From the "The Gospel of John" sermon series. Preached by Jody Killingsworth.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. – John 1:1

In John 1:1 we learned that Christ makes the incarnation matter.
John 4:43-54. Preached Sunday, November 3, 2024.
Brian finishes this series on the armor of God by teaching on the elementary importance of the Helmet of Salvation and the Sword of the Spirit. The helmet of salvation is the "crown of authority" given to us in Christ to judge or rule in every situation in His righteousness. This grace to rule and judge is by the standard of who God the Father is in His person. The Sword of the Spirit is connected with this helmet where logos (Christ as the Word- John 1:1) is now experienced-rhema-and becomes a spoken word. The logos existed as the precept of the full stature of God in the beginning but is now experienced and becomes a revelation of truth that is light that darkness cannot stand up against.

Today's Godcast emphasizes that the life of a disciple of Jesus, centers on love, specifically, sacrificial love.

Through Jesus' blood, Their disciples are cleansed by the blood of the Lamb! As a disciple of Jesus, you must recognize the importance of understanding sin, the necessity of confession and repentance, thru the expressions of love and forgiveness, and the call to live that out God's love as a Their disciples on the face of this sin infested snake pit!
