In the Tom Hanks film “Castaway,” the main character, Chuck, finds himself in the ultimate terrifying situation. Chuck's plane goes down in the ocean, and he finds himself stranded on a very deserted island.Years pass.Chuck's family and friends long ago gave up on him, and why not? No one could have known he was sitting on a remote pile of sand in the Pacific Ocean.He learns to survive, but then reflects on the future. What happens if he gets sick? What happens if he's injured?Staying put isn't an option.**SPOILER ALERT** Next thing you know, he's pushing away from the island on a homemade raft. This risky adventure eventually puts him right in the path of a ship.When He went to be with His Father in heaven, Jesus left His disciples with a simple but big adventure idea: Go tell people about me. It won't be safe, and you might even be in danger, but life depends on it.Mark 16:15 says, “He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.'”Jesus called us to ride the ultimate wave.Let's pray.Lord, sometimes life intimidates us. But we have you as our lifeboat, and we thank you for not letting us drift away. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

In Week 3 of our Fully Devoted series, we unpack what it really means to lay our lives down at the altar. Being fully devoted to Jesus isn't just about public worship — it's about private surrender, sacrificial obedience, and doing the will of the Father even when no one's watching. This message challenges us to ask: If God asked for my most valuable possession, my future, or even my life — would I be willing to lay it down? True devotion is more than words — it's obedience in action. Follow us on Instagram @lyahampton & join us every Tuesday in the LSM building at 7 p.m.!

Send us a textEpisode Title: Finding Courage in Chaos: How Psalm 9 Strengthens the Wounded SoulEpisode SummaryPsalm 9 is a psalm of defiant praise. In a world marked by trauma, injustice, and fear, David shows us how to worship with a wounded heart and how to trust God's justice even when it feels delayed.In this episode of Counseling Through the Psalms, James Long, Jr. walks us through the tension between lament and praise, helping us rediscover the courage to rejoice when life feels anything but safe. Whether you are struggling with personal wounds, broken systems, or unanswered prayers for justice, this psalm is a healing guide for the soul.Key TakeawaysPraise can be a protest. Worship is not limited to times of victory—it's a declaration of trust even in trouble.God's justice is sure, even when it is not immediate.God sees and remembers the cries of the oppressed. Nothing is overlooked.God is both righteous judge and personal refuge. He sits enthroned and He draws near.When systems fail, God does not. He is the stronghold for those crushed by injustice or fear.Scripture FocusPsalm 9:1–20Psalm 113:5–6Hebrews 4:15–16Revelation 21:4Reflect and RespondIn what areas of your life have you struggled to believe God sees your pain?How does Psalm 9 challenge your view of justice and God's timing?What are some “wonderful deeds” of the Lord you can recount today?Are there places in your heart where you've stopped praying for justice because it felt too delayed?How might praise become a form of protest for you in this season?What would it look like to seek God as your stronghold right now?Who around you needs to hear that God has not forgotten their cries?Resources and LinksJoin the Community: https://jameslongjr.org/signupnowFree Navigator Level: https://community.jameslongjr.orgSubscribe and FollowListen to Lessons for Life with James Long, Jr. on your favorite podcast platform:Apple Podcasts: https://jameslongjr.org/applepodcastSpotify: https://jameslongjr.org/spotifyAmazon Music: https://jameslongjr.org/amazonmusicGoogle Podcasts: https://jameslongjr.org/googlepodcastYouTube: https://jameslongjr.org/youtubeConnect and ShareInstagram: @drjameslongjr – https://jameslongjr.org/instagramFacebook: https://jameslongjr.org/facebookYouTube: https://jameslongjr.org/youtubeHashtag: #LessonsForLif ABOUT JAMES AND LESSONS FOR LIFEAre you longing to find answers to the deeper issues of life?

Galatians 5:13"Serve One Another"Elder Phil Oh

When was the last time your worship cost you something? True worship isn't casual, it's costly. It's not about what's convenient. It's about what He's worth. Not for our gain, but for His glory. Love moves us beyond the expected. And when we give Him our all, we step into destiny. Let your worship be wild. Costly. Real. Because He is your exceedingly great reward

Do you see prayer as a privilege or a duty? Today, Joyce teaches how to confidently ask, seek, and pray with a heart aligned to God's will.

In Worship: The Labor of Love, Pastor Will Ford teaches that work is more than a task—it's worship. Drawing from the Hebrew word avodah, which means work, worship, and service, he illustrates how daily labor was always intended to be an act of devotion to God. Since the Garden of Eden, man was created to cultivate in partnership with God, but after the Fall, humanity began working for significance instead of from significance. Jesus redeemed this curse, restoring work as a labor of love. Pastor Will emphasizes that excellence in work honors God, and when we offer our best, even mundane jobs become sacred. Drawing parallels between the Levites and modern believers, he charges Christians to carry God's glory into every sphere—business, politics, creativity, and culture. Through biblical insight and inspiring stories of believers like Madam C.J. Walker and William Merrill Vorhies, the message commissions every Christian to see their vocation as a calling, their workplace as a ministry, and their work as worship.

"But King David said to Ornan, 'No, but I will surely buy it for the full price; for I will not take what is yours for the LORD, or offer a burnt offering which costs me nothing.'" -1 Chronicles 21:24 In today's episode, Rabbi stresses the importance and weight that comes with living a sacrificed life to God.  **** BECOME A MONTHLY PARTNER - https://djj.show/YTAPartner   **** DONATE - https://djj.show/YTADonate   Visit our website at DiscoveringTheJewishJesus.com

Hurricane Dorian caused a lot of anxiety and destruction. Many of us worried about the East Coast of our own country, but the Bahamas were hit really hard, with the storm basically stationary for many hours. Residents there hunkered down and sought higher ground, wondering when the onslaught would end, and the storm would pass. The physical damage left by the lengthy storm was devastating. When the winds of life blow fiercely, rain pours down, and the water rises, it is tempting to give in to panic. In the midst of the storm, sometimes we let the noise and chaos of our present circumstances become louder than the voice of our Lord and Savior. The still small voice in our hearts may only be a whisper, but the power behind that presence outranks any circumstance of this life.Colossians 1:17 says, “He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”Jesus was not only with the people of the Bahamas, He is with you in every storm you face. He isn't simply the fleeting ‘eye of the hurricane,' either. His presence and power, and love for us, is greater than any storm life can hit us with.Let's pray.Lord, thank you for being our steadfast shelter, our provider, and peace-giver in every situation. It's who you are. No storm can shake us when we build on a foundation of faith. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

Today, we're looking at the controversy that has erupted from left-wing radicals over American Christian performer Sean Feucht's Canadian worship tour, which saw a counter-protest outside of the Montreal church that hosted his Quebec event this weekend. Plus, a new survey has found non-white Canadians are the strongest group opposed to mass immigration. Do the findings put an end to the narrative that resisting mass immigration is a "racist" belief? And finally, President Donald Trump is in Europe, where he has taken on the rise of censorship across the continent.

Have you ever gotten tired of treading water?Martha is a 20-something-old lifeguard in Los Angeles. Besides dealing with deck chairs purposely thrown into the water and parents asking her to babysit poolside, she's noticed another aspect of the job that really tugs at your heart. “Kids pretend to drown in the pool so that I will pay attention to them.” Wow. Think about that.At a young age, humans need to be nurtured and cared for. They want to be loved. So, a young lifeguard becomes their emotional lifeline. These kids were actually pretending to nearly die so that someone would pay attention. It's pretty sad, but not that different from the rest of us. Everyone wants to belong, and sometimes life is like a raging storm, and problems can flood the soul.In Matthew 14, we read the story of Jesus providing comfort to His disciples in a difficult situation. He had gone to pray on a mountain while they stayed behind in a boat on the Sea of Galilee. Normally, this is a very picturesque, calm lake, but this night, a storm came up. As the waves were about to capsize the boat, the men looked and saw a figure walking on the water. Peter cried out, and Jesus told him to get out of the boat and walk toward Him. Peter, known for his passionate faith, got out. But as he took his eyes off Jesus and began looking at the storm around him, he sank. Jesus, though, grabbed his arm and pulled him up. “Why did you doubt?” He asked Peter. It's a valid question for anyone.Jesus has proven himself to us many times over. When you feel overwhelmed, remember to call out to Him, and He will lift your burden. Let's pray.Father God, sometimes it feels like life is just pulling us under. We thank you so much that we have examples from Scripture where you rescued drowning people. You're indeed our lifeguard. Help us keep this in our hearts and our minds daily so that we can be reminded of your blessed assurance and to call out your name, the one who provides for all of our needs. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.
