We often want to fit God inside a box, don't we? Maybe it's that we think we can understand or even control Him that way, but God doesn't fit in our boxes. We try to keep God in the box of a Sunday morning in our church building. In his message today, Pastor Ken will challenge you to accept that God is so much bigger than Sunday morning. God doesn't just exist when you go to church, and your worship of Him shouldn't exist only on Sunday mornings. Worship God everywhere and every day.
Unwrapping Your Spiritual GiftsInterview with William GarvinIn this Faith and Family Fellowship episode, Dallas interviews author William Garvin.About the Book:At our 'new birth', we are given 'GIFTS' by God. The first gift is the Holy Spirit and through the Holy Spirit we receive 'SPIRITUAL GIFTS'. Every Christian has received at least one gift, some more. These gifts are given so we might; Worship God - in spirit and truth, hear and respond to His Voice, be identified with Him, and overcome the works of the devil. But how do we unwrap and use these gifts God has given? That is why this is written! In this 'time of the falling away', we must know that our spiritual gifts are given to enable EACH of us to successfully contribute to the spiritual warfare that the 'Body of Christ' MUST fight.Every good soldier must know HOW to use his weapons. The difference with us is that we have 'spiritual weapons' that can Only be operated by spiritual means. Under the 'controls' directed by the Scriptures, we are to use the 'gifts' to 'discern' the spiritual things of God, from that which is evil. God is enlisting ALL His people, not just leadership, to activate, 'the weapons of our warfare' that when done in the unity and fellowship with other Christians, can 'pull down strongholds'.Praise GOD! Elder William L. Garvin has served as Pastor of Home Ministry Outreach Church (HMOC) in Gary, Indiana, USA, since 1995. He and his wife, -and co-pastor-Beverly Joyce, have been married for fifty-plus years; they've been blessed with four adult children, son Macy, daughter Kelley, son David, and daughter Rachel (Mansoor) Leh.

This is message 13 in The Power of God's Name Psalm 96:1-13 Psalm 96 calls all people and all creation to give glory to the name of the Lord—not only for what He has done, but for who He is. From the opening call to sing a new song, to the closing anticipation of His coming reign, the psalm unfolds as a joyful declaration that God alone is worthy of honor, praise, and reverence. His name is to be lifted high through worship, through testimony, through holiness, and through hope in His righteous rule. Glorifying God's name is not a passive response—it is a daily call to proclaim, to declare, and to rejoice in the greatness of the Lord.

This evening Pastor Ryan continues our series in Exodus with his sermon, "How to Worship God."
This is message 36 in the Isaiah series. Isaiah 38:1-22 Hezekiah, facing certain death from an incurable illness, turned in desperation to the Lord and pleaded for mercy. God, in His compassion, heard his prayer, extended his life by fifteen years, and gave a miraculous sign by turning back the shadow on the sundial. In gratitude, Hezekiah composed a song of praise, recognizing that his healing was not only physical but also a reminder of God's forgiveness and grace. His restored life pointed him back to worship and service, teaching that every moment of life is a gift to believe to God's glory.

To be lost in the heart of worship is something that all Christians aspire to do. To be moved by God's presence due to His goodness, love, and mercy, is something so strong and profound that it can't easily be put into words.Bethel Music's Jenn Johnson agrees.For the last 25 years, Johnson and Bethel Music have sought to bring music to the masses that invites listeners to take hold of their true identity and pursue intimacy with God above everything else. Fresh from winning two Dove Awards, including one for “Song of the Year”, Bethel Music has recently released a live praise and worship album called We Must Respond.. Recorded late last year at the Cascade Theater in Redding, California, its 17 songs feature the Bethel Music Collective as well as guest vocalistsBrooke Ligertwood, Abbie Gamboa, and Aodhan King.Johnson joins us to talk about the new album and how its title is a declaration of sorts. Listen as she explains why she considers each song to be a 'holy exchange' for listeners and she shares her perspective on the future of praise and worship music.

How am I to worship God? Horatius Bonar Man asks, "How am I to worship God?"And he has answered it also in his own way: "In the gorgeous temple, in the pillared cathedral, with incense, and vestments, and forms, and ceremonies, and processions, and postures!" he says. But these performances are the 'will worship' of self righteousness, not the obedient service of men worshiping God in ways of His own choosing. Man cannot teach man how to worship God. When he tries it he utterly fails. He distorts worship. He misrepresents God, and he indulges his own sensuous or self righteous tastes. His "dim religious light" is but a reflection of his own gloomy spirit, and an ignorant misrepresentation of Him "who is light." God's answer to man's question is given in the Lord's words, "those who worship Him, must worship Him in spirit and in truth." John 4:24The vestments may or may not be lovely--that matters not. The music may or may not be beautiful. The knees may or may not be bent. The hands may or may not be clasped. The place of worship may or may not be a cathedral, or a consecrated building. These are immaterial things; mere adjuncts of religion, not its essence. The true worship is that of the inner man--and all these other exterior things are of little importance. As it is with love, so it is with worship. The heart is everything! God can do without the bended knee, but not without the broken heart!"My son, give Me your heart and let your eyes keep to my ways!" Proverbs 23:26
Ten Ways We Can Learn from King David • Friday Service To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give Website: www.PastorTodd.org David is one of the most written-about figures in all of Scripture. He was a shepherd, a warrior, a fugitive, a king, a worshiper, a poet, and a man after God's own heart. He wasn't perfect—but he was postured toward the Lord. His life offers rich lessons in leadership, repentance, worship, endurance, and trust in God's timing. Today, we're going to look at ten powerful ways we can learn from David and apply these lessons in our own lives. 1. God Sees the Heart, Not the Outer Appearance Scripture: “But the Lord said to Samuel, ‘Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.'” — 1 Samuel 16:7 (NKJV) 2. Be Willing to Step Out in Faith When No One Else Will Scripture: “Then David said to the Philistine, ‘You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.'” — 1 Samuel 17:45 (NKJV) 3. Honor Authority Even When It's Difficult Scripture: “The Lord forbid that I should do this thing to my master, the Lord's anointed, to stretch out my hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the Lord.” — 1 Samuel 24:6 (NKJV) 4. Encourage Yourself in the Lord During Crisis Scripture: “But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.” — 1 Samuel 30:6 (NKJV) 5. Be Quick to Repent Scripture: “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” — Psalm 51:10 (NKJV) 6. Inquire of the Lord Before Making Big Decisions Scripture: “Therefore David inquired of the Lord, saying, ‘Shall I go up against the Philistines?' And the Lord said to David, ‘Go up, for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into your hand.'” — 2 Samuel 5:19 (NKJV) 7. Worship God with Abandon Scripture: “Then David danced before the Lord with all his might; and David was wearing a linen ephod.” — 2 Samuel 6:14 (NKJV) 8. Be Willing to Wait for God's Timing Scripture: “David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.” — 2 Samuel 5:4 (NKJV) 9. Lead with Justice and Mercy Scripture: “So David reigned over all Israel; and David administered judgment and justice to all his people.” — 2 Samuel 8:15 (NKJV) 10. Leave a Legacy of Worship and Vision Scripture: “Now set your heart and your soul to seek the Lord your God. Therefore arise and build the sanctuary of the Lord God…” — 1 Chronicles 22:19 (NKJV) David was far from perfect—but he pursued God with all his heart. He teaches us about resilience in trial, repentance in failure, worship in victory, and faith in the waiting. Let us take these lessons and live like people after God's own heart. Let's be a church that worships boldly, repents quickly, seeks wisdom constantly, and lives with purpose and honor. CCLI: 21943673

Deuteronomy 12 is a pivotal chapter where Moses instructs the Israelites on how to worship God properly once they enter the Promised Land. The focus is on centralized worship—God commands them to destroy all pagan altars and not to worship Him the way other nations worship their gods. Instead, they are to worship at one designated place that the Lord will choose. This chapter emphasizes obedience, purity in worship, and avoiding idolatry. It also introduces rules about sacrifices, tithes, and the proper handling of blood, reinforcing that worship must be done God's way, not man's.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.
Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 4/6/25 by Rev. Brian Smeal. Listen as Rev. Brian Smeal speaks on Psalm 98:1-7. There are songs of celebration, songs of victory, songs of wonder. Praise God for the things He has done. Praise admires the individual behind the accomplishment. Worship God for the things He is doing. Worship is the connection of the human heart to the person of God. Worship is the response of the soul to the attributes and activities of a holy God. Worship is an experience, not an expression. Exalt God for the things He is going to do!

6 Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out,“Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. 7 Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready; 8 it was granted her to clothe herself with fine linen, bright and pure”—for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints.9 And the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These are the true words of God.” 10 Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God.” For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.11 Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. 12 His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. 13 He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. 14 And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. 15 From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he called to all the birds that fly directly overhead, “Come, gather for the great supper of God, 18 to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave, both small and great.” 19 And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him who was sitting on the horse and against his army. 20 And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. 21 And the rest were slain by the sword that came from the mouth of him who was sitting on the horse, and all the birds were gorged with their flesh.1. What have you heard/learned about Armageddon in the past? Does that line up with what we see in ch. 19?2. In what ways does Satan deceive you into potentially attending Armageddon?3. Is it comforting that all Jesus does is come and speak to defeat evil? What does that mean for you and how you see him and the bible?4. Can you approach God's word as a wedding invitation and marriage proposal? How might that change how you read it?5. Do you live like you have to dress yourself and pay for your own clothes, or like Jesus will cover you in glorious garments? How does that impact your life?6. What does it look like for you to live as one betrothed to Jesus?7. &
True worship is not about where or how or even when, it's about who God is and who you are.

A huge part of training our children in the ways of God is, first, not being afraid to do it in a culture that is going in the opposite direction. And two, is to be confident that, regardless of your past and whatever has happened in your family, God wants you to teach your kids. Let go of your fears. Let go of the “who am I to teach anyone about God?” lies. Please know that in Christ you have all you need to take your children wherever God wants you all to go.Listen to Psalm 34:1-4 …Taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him! Fear the Lord, you his godly people, for those who fear him will have all they need. Even strong young lions sometimes go hungry, but those who trust in the Lord will lack no good thing. Come, my children, and listen to me, and I will teach you to fear the Lord. Does anyone want to live a life that is long and prosperous? Then keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies! Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it.Is it time for you to believe that you will have all that you need?Can you say it aloud - I have all that I need today Is it time for you to believe that you lack no good thing?Can you say it - Thank you Father, I lack no good thing Listen to part of today's passage in the Message … Open your mouth and taste, open your eyes and see— how good God is. Blessed are you who run to him. Worship God if you want the best; worship opens doors to all his goodness. Young lions on the prowl get hungry, but God-seekers are full of God. Come, children, listen closely; I'll give you a lesson in God worship. Who out there has a lust for life? Can't wait each day to come upon beauty?As we are halfway through this week, what are you sensing from God in our time together? As you hear His Word? What is He saying to you? What is saying to you about your kids?Whatever you sense God is saying, follow that. And point your kids in the same direction.And always remember—it's a relationship, not a religion.Let's pray together: “Heavenly Father, please deepen me in my relationship with You. For me, but for my kids. As above, so below.”

(Isaiah 46:11) Scripture is full of prophecy and sincere Bible students must not neglect it. Today, we uncover five definite blessings connected to the study of prophecy. Our goal is to learn more than end time events; it is to know more deeply the eternal God. (0968250318) ----more---- The World's Fascination with End Times Hollywood has made a small fortune imagining what the end of the world is going to look like. In fact, it seems every week. Something new in printed form or media comes out about the end of time, and yet I think it may be smarter if we ask the one who started time, how time is going to end. That is the eternal God, the creator of all things. What does God say? What does the Bible say? About the end of time, about last things. Biblical Prophecy: An Overview As you read and study the word of God, you're gonna be shocked, I think, to see how much of the Bible is prophetic - I mean by that telling us about things to come. Sixteen Old Testament books are considered to be prophetic books. You have what is commonly referred to as the major prophets and the minor prophets. But prophecy's not restricted just to those books. In fact, prophetic elements are found all through the word of God. In the Psalms there are prophetic psalms. Moses was referred to as a prophet, so that's hearkening all the way back to the beginning of the Old Testament. When you come to the New Testament, about 1/20th of the New Testament is prophetic. Now, obviously the revelation of Jesus Christ the apocalypse the final revelation. That's prophetic, but there are prophetic elements in the teachings of Christ and the writings of Paul. You can't neglect scripture. When it comes to prophecy. I heard someone recently say, what gives us the right I. To pick and choose which verses we wanna believe. What gives us the right to pick and cho choose which verses we want to study and apply and live. No, all scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable. So what is the profit of us studying what the Bible says about the end of time? Lemme give you several profitable things that it'll do in your life. The Sovereignty of God in Prophecy First of all, if you study what the Bible says about prophecy. It's going to reveal something to you about the sovereignty of our God, that He truly is on the throne. He has a plan. He's all wise and all powerful. He knows exactly what he's doing. Listen to the words of Isaiah 46, verse 11. The Bible says, "Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executed with my counsel from a far country. Yay, I have spoken it. I will also bring it to pass. I have purposed it. I will also do it." Now, the context of this text is in a prophecy to the nation of Israel. But listen to the revelation of God himself, the one who's giving the prophecy, he said, I've spoken it. I'm gonna bring it to pass. I've purposed it. I'm going to do it. When you begin to study prophecy, one of the things immediately that is revealed is that our God is not arbitrary. He has an eternal purpose in the ages. This is not some emergency plan with our God. From the very beginning, before time started, God knew exactly how it was going to end. So his purpose is being fulfilled. That ought to help you not just to know events, but to know the God of the Bible in a greater way. Closely akin to that, let me give you a second profitable thing. Faith in Bible Prophecy In the book of Acts chapter number 20, we're told this beginning in verse number 26, the Apostle Paul says, "Wherefore, I take you to record this day that I'm pure from the blood of all men, for I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God." One of the things that happens when you start seeing what the Bible says about prophecy is it increases your faith in the word of God itself. And the Apostle Paul said, Acts 20:27, "I've not shunned to declare all the counsel of God." May I say to you, we should not shun all the counsel of God. Study all of the Bible. Seek to understand all of scripture. Teach and preach all of the Bible. Why? Because God has a message for us in every part of scripture that includes prophecy, faith cometh by hearing by the word of God. Your faith is gonna grow as you see God fulfilling what he foretold and everything. God foretells, he fulfills. When you see all the prophecies that have been fulfilled to this point, do you know what it says? It says that the same God who never lies, who always tells the truth and always keeps his word, is going to fulfill the rest of the prophecies. So it reveals the sovereignty of God. It increases our faith in the word of God. How about this? This is a very practical thing. Hope in Bible Prophecy When you begin studying what the Bible says about prophecy, it's gonna give you some hope and comfort. I'm talking about living through difficult days. It's gonna help you. Second Corinthians 4:17 says, "For our light affliction, which is, but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal." What does prophecy do? Prophecy makes you get your eyes off of time and on eternity. It makes you go to the end and work your way backward to find out what truly matters in light of eternity. It brings both a challenge and a comfort at the same time. He repeats that emphasis when he writes to the church at Thessalonika. First Thessalonians chapter four, listen to the words beginning in verse thirteen. He says, "But I would not have you to be ignorant brethren concerning them which are asleep, that you sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this, we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trump of God, and the dead in Christ, shall rise first. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore, comfort one another with these words." Did you notice the first verse we read in 1st Thessalonians 4:13 has the word "hope" in it, and the last verse we read, verse 18 has the word "comfort" in it? Studying prophecy is going to give you hope and comfort. It's not just about knowing the sequence of events. Or what to look for next. In fact, we're not looking for an ending. We're looking for a new beginning. I'm not looking for the world to end. I'm looking for Jesus to come. I'm looking for everything God has prepared for us. That gives me hope and comfort living in difficult days. The Purifying Affect of Prophecy And then I would say this studying prophecy, what the Bible says about the end of time will purify the believer. Yeah, one John chapter three, beginning in verse number two says this, "Beloved, now are we the sons of God. And it does not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that when he shall appear, we shall be like him. For we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him, purify himself even as he is pure." The hope is not just for us to feel better. The hope is for us to live today. In light of eternity, it's gonna help you make today count. If you realize today could be your last day on earth, today could be the greatest day you ever live, which is the day Jesus Christ face to face. Let me give you one more study. Loving Jesus More Through Prophecy What the Bible says about last things is gonna help you love Jesus more. Listen to Revelation 19, verse 10, "And I fell at his feet to worship him and he said unto me, See thou to it. Not I'm thy fellow servant and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." People who want to talk about prophecy in the end time, but they don't wanna talk more about loving Christ or winning souls or living holy, have missed the spirit of prophecy. The spirit of prophecy is not about having a head full of knowledge. It's about having a heart alive and on fire with passionate love for Christ and souls around you. It will make a difference in the way you live this day. So I'm excited about our studies. We begin to talk about what the Bible says about last things, but I wanna challenge you. Don't just study it, live it. Don't just consider considerate, apply the truth to your life today. Let what the Bible says affect what you give your energy and attention to this very day. Outro and Resources Repeating what other people have said about the Bible is not enough. We must know the biblical reason behind what we believe. We hope you will visit us at etj.bible to access our Library of Bible teaching resources, including book-by-book studies of Scripture. You'll also find studies to watch, listen to, or read. We are so grateful for those who pray for us, who share the biblical content, and for those who invest to help us advance this ministry worldwide. Again, thank you for listening and we hope you'll join us next time on Enjoying the Journey.
By Moses Summers - We understand that humans do not have the power to change, what God has instructed us to do. Scripture warns us not to alter God's instructions.
