				<itunes:summary><![CDATA[“Lord Jesus, receive my spirit”. These were the last words of the apostle Stephen just before he died.
In ancient times, many middle eastern religions employed rock piles as altars, but none as prolific as the Semitic faiths. Homes and Jewish gathering spaces built in Capernaum too, were made of small blackish stones of basalt. We are God-made, not crafted by human hand, but designed by our World-Maker God and blessed by His holy touch. In this, we are transfigured from mere stone into Living Stones of God, able to be altars, ladders, and bridges to God from anywhere in the world, for everyone in the world.

				<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Today I’d like to take you with me to look at a 4th admonition and that is looking at Christian behavior while we walk this world as temporary sojourners in this world. I know many of you have family members who don’t know Jesus yet, and if you’re honest, it sits heavy on your heart. I want to speak into that place right now and bring you peace. Because their salvation is not resting on your shoulders. It never was. Jesus already paid for them. The cross included them. Every sin, every mistake, every moment that feels like it’s keeping them far has already been dealt with. Which means Jesus does not desire half-hearted discipleship. Following Jesus must be all or nothing. He wants us to be all in. Not 50 %, not 95%, but 100 percent. He desires all there is of us. Body and soul. Heart and mind.

				<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Peter told us, we are to be set apart, for we are different, not blending in with the crowd, yet we’re not to be different just for the sake of being different. God’s qualities in our lives makes us different. We must admit that we all desperately need the gift of holiness, a holiness that we cannot manufacture or attain for ourselves. We cannot become holy on our own, but God has given us his Holy Spirit to help us obey and He gives us power to overcome sin. At the same time, we should fear His discipline and therefore seek to live our lives in a way that pleases Him. Reverence ought to be evident in the way believers conduct themselves in God's presence. After all we are all sojourners on this world, wanderers, visiting for a short time on our way to God’s eternal kingdom.

				<itunes:summary><![CDATA[God is present in your Suffering – 1 Peter 1:3-9
Jesus is risen! Indeed, he is Risen, Alleluia! and we shout it with joy. 
After encountering this reality, how do you feel? During Jesus’ trial Peter denied knowing Jesus. Soon after Jesus died and rose again, Peter repented and became a great apostle and preacher. 

Nearly everywhere, when I talk to people some are troubled because they do not know that they are secure. They think that because of their sins, their negligence, their failing to endure to the end, or that for some other reason, they may lose their salvation.
Many do not realize that God has determined that all who repent and believe in Him have everlasting life and will go to Heaven when they die.
When we believe in Jesus Christ for salvation, the Holy Spirit immediately enters our lives. We are sealed for eternity and brought under God’s spiritual protection from that moment on.

No one took Jesus’ life from Him. God had given him a specific task. That task was to lay down his life on behalf of the world.
We’ve arrived at Easter Sunday. Throughout the world the light is back, no more darkness. Churches are filled with Christians shouting back and forth “Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia!” 
Christ rolled the tombstone away from people's lives to let them be free. Christ sends us, into the very spaces and places we would rather forget. Christ sends us into the very households of people who look, think, and act differently.

				<itunes:summary><![CDATA[The Bible teaches that we Christians are not immune to suffering. Instead, it emphasizes that trials and tribulations are part of the process of sanctification and are designed to enable believers to grow into the image of Christ. The message for us, if we believe in Him, is this

Through Jesus, we are justified, which means He set us into a right relationship with God. As Paul puts it, we have "access to this grace."  Everything's ready for us to live with God again. We enjoy access to God's grace
The pursuit of peace apart from God is portrayed as fruitless.
The Bible warns that the wicked cannot experience the peace that comes from God, and the superficial promises of peace given by human leaders are exposed as inadequate.

				<itunes:summary><![CDATA[The Christian church began the season of Lent last Wednesday on Ash Wednesday. Lent is a 40-day period of penitential preparation for Easter, involving fasting, abstinence, and almsgiving.
Someone who spent time on the space station said this: From orbit, that Earth doesn’t look like a collection of countries, borders, or competing interests. It appears as a single, radiant blue sphere suspended in darkness. No lines divide continents. No flags mark territory. From 250 miles above the surface, every human conflict suddenly looks small — and every human connection looks unavoidable. The “overview effect” is a profound cognitive shift reported by many who see Earth from space. It’s the sudden realization that humanity shares a single, closed system. No backups. No escape route. No second home. Now just imagine how God thinks of us disobedient sinners. Yet still, he loves us.  He sent his son to die on the cross for all us sinners.

Like Moses, his obedience to God's voice was crucial in leading his people to freedom and establishing a covenant with God. Then there’s John the Baptist. His ability to hear God's voice and proclaim His message was a significant part of his ministry. There’s Samuel, he listened, as a young boy and later as priest and prophet. Samuel’s story illustrates the importance of listening to God's voice and obeying it at all costs. Then there’s Elijah, his mission was to summon the people to conversion and denounce idolatry and social injustices. They all excelled at listening to God!

The world these days is very noisy, instead of having peace, we find just the opposite, in our gloom and despair, we fear that our sorrow and troubles will never end. But we can take comfort in this certainty, that although the Lord may not always spare us from troubles, he will lead us safely through them If we follow him wholeheartedly.

				<description><![CDATA[If we carry a heavy burden, then sadly our life may feel heavy and dark and then what should we do?
The world these days is very noisy, instead of having peace, we find just the opposite, in our gloom and despair, we fear that our sorrow and troubles will never end. But we can take comfort in this certainty, that although the Lord may not always spare us from troubles, he will lead us safely through them If we follow him wholeheartedly.

				<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Judah was characterized by rugged terrain, rolling hills, and fertile valleys and this region, known as the Hill Country of Judah, played a crucial role in the life and history of the Israelite tribes, particularly the tribe of Judah. It is often described as a land flowing with milk and honey, reflecting its agricultural richness and strategic importance for settlement and agriculture. Overall, the desert in the Bible is a powerful metaphor for the trials and growth that come with faith and trust in God. In our wilderness, it seems that there is never enough time, never enough money, never enough understanding, and never enough love… Our hands are weak. Our knees grow feeble. Our hearts become oh so fearful. So, let me ask: Where are those scary, wilderness spaces deep inside our souls?

				<itunes:summary><![CDATA[One of the hardest lessons we need to learn is that not many worthwhile things in life are ever given, most have to be earned. It appears that work is part of the plan of God for our lives. The apostle Paul believed this. Work is seen as part of God's perfect creation. Work is not merely as a means of survival, but as a way to participate in God's creative order.

Paul says that we must be ready for anything that threatens our faith. Paul knew that the Thessalonians would face pressure from persecution, false teachers, worldliness, and apathy, causing them to waver from the truth and possibly to leave the faith. Paul wants us to be “Living with faith, he wants us to stand firm, and he wants us to stay strong.

This is what Paul told TImothy, but it’s for any leader. Just imagine, if the church were to consistently follow this advice from 2 Timothy 2:2, it would expand geometrically as every well taught believer would teach others and commission them, in turn, to teach still others.

Whatever the size of our community, we are born with a need to walk this road of life with fellow travelers. We need to “go with” others on the path we have been set upon by what we had learned. We are empowered by those who walk with us, be it family, or close sincere friends. Paul had left Timothy in Ephesus to help the church there. I understand that the idea was to help the church… but I think Timothy ended up being the main leader of the church in Ephesus.

One might be our mindset and our behavior, which can often lead us to feel unfulfilled despite our achievements. Another could be the constant reminders (the marketing) of things we are missing out on, which can hinder our ability to find contentment. 
But then when is enough… enough? There is a difference between what we need and what we want. If we have all we need to live, that means we have enough, and that’s different from letting ourselves become anxious and discontent over things what we merely want.

				<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Jesus is the sole mediator, acting as the bridge between humanity and God. No one else can mediate our relationship with God! "Godliness" and "Dignity" emphasize the importance of a life that is both spiritually mature and morally upright. Godliness refers to a devoted life, it is a discipline that requires intentional effort and training, much like physical exercise, and that exercise is what daily prayer is.

And then, there are differing views on the effectiveness of intercessory prayer and its role in spiritual life. Some may believe that intercessory prayer is a powerful tool for spiritual growth and connection, while others may see it as a distraction from the focus on God's supremacy. What do you think?

Some may believe that intercessory prayer is a powerful tool for spiritual growth and connection, while others may see it as a distraction from the focus on God's supremacy. What do you think?

We tend to form opinions on all matters in life, as Christians in today’s world, we might consider that even though Jeremiah got his message from God, he was unpopular, because his message showed the people how bad they were. As for us? Well, we don’t want to lose friends or family, so it’s more comfortable to shrug our shoulders and just go along.

				<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Today’s Scripture richly distinguishes between our will and God’s will.
And some questions came up: Are we planning on deciding to obey God using our own will or are we planning to decide with the help of God’s divine Will?
Even way back when the message was in our hearts. During Moses’ time most things are learned by heart. Information about watering holes, after all, in Israel, watering holes were significant because that information served as a vital resource in arid landscapes, they were important for survival, as well containing spiritual symbolism then there were agricultural practices, weaving cloth, making food. Even learning the Torah, the first five books of the Bible. Everything was learned by heart by young children at the feet of their parents, grandparents and leaders.

Elisha, a farmer by trade, is taken by surprise by this unexpected encounter with the renowned prophet Elijah. Despite the shock, Elisha recognizes the significance of Elijah’s actions and understands that he is being called to a higher purpose. In a moment of decision, Elisha made one of his biggest life choices, he knew the need to leave his old life behind. Elisha slaughters his oxen, using the equipment for fuel to cook the meat, and bids farewell to his former way of life. He destroys his former livelihood. There’s no way back.

				<description><![CDATA[Peter was invited to stay in the house of Cornelius in Joppa, it is here where Peter had a divine experience. I encourage you to read Acts chapter 11 what a wonderful passage of scripture is Chapter 11. It is a passage that you and I should be mighty thankful for, after all, if not for this passage, we who are from non-Jewish backgrounds would not be in the church today.

It is not just enough to be contrite. It is not just enough to turn over a new leaf to mess up a clean page. True repentance is revealed by changing our actions. Repentance it is more than turning over our lives. It is more than just feeling sorry for our sins. Repentance means to change the direction of our lives completely. It means to stop walking toward selfishness or self-centeredness or a life that is centered upon what the self desires. 
It means to make a 180-degree turn, to start walking toward God, toward his vision, toward His aim and goals for our lives.

				<itunes:summary><![CDATA[In Josiah’s day, boys were considered men at age of 12, by 16 Josiah understood the responsibility of his office. He showed greater wisdom than many of the older kings who came before him, because he had decided to seek the Lord God and his wisdom. 
Jeremiah was called by God to be a prophet to Judah, a job he held for the next 70 years until their return from captivity in Babylon. He lived through the period of the disintegration of the kingdom, witnessed the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple, and spent the remaining years of his life in Egypt. 
We need to realize that God has a purpose for each Christian, but some people are appointed by God for specific kinds of work and whatever work He has appointed you to do should be done for the glory of God. And if you are still wondering what that work is, then seek to fulfill the mission common to all believers: to love, to obey, and to serve God, until his guidance or your life becomes clear.

Paul's assessment of the church in Corinth does not focus on how many members they have on their average attendance, or their total or per capita giving. Instead, Paul focuses on their actions, and the choices they made in their lives as Christians; on their gifts.

It’s incredible… Salvation came… when Jesus came… A little baby was born a little more than 2,000 years ago under very unimpressive circumstances… He was born to poor working people… living in an oppressed country… He was born while the parents were on a journey that was required… involuntary… and they had to stay in a stable instead of in a home. The baby was laid to sleep in a trough from which cattle usually ate. And yet, Christians down through all these years have believed that there was something very special about that birth.

				<itunes:summary><![CDATA[In Isaiah 12:1-6 we find a message of joy. If we compare Isaiah 12, this song of Joy, with Psalm 30 where we find a psalm of trust and then if we compare those songs to John the Baptist's message, we realize that to have JOY, that profound abundant JOY that only comes from God, we come to realize that it all starts with repentance. For us to follow Jesus means more than saying the right words; it means acting on what he says. Many of John the Baptist's hearers were shocked when he said that being Abraham’s descendants was not enough to ensure salvation. In today’s world, in our world that means that we cannot rely on someone else’s faith for our salvation. What changes can you make during this time of waiting and what might you share?

The Revelation offers glimpses of a holy reality which is normally hid from our eyes. We need to consider that each letter was directed to a church then in existence. but this letter also speaks to conditions in the church throughout history, both in the church today and in our individual lives now.

So, you know the ropes, there’s no great risk in doing that. But at some point, you likely had to stop and listen to advice, to hear what you should do, right? So, why is it so hard for us to listen?  From the very first page of the Scriptures, we learn that our God is a God who speaks. It’s our responsibility to listen to our Lord speaking.

				<itunes:summary><![CDATA[We live in an age where we carefully note what is clean and what is not. This became much more noticeable during Covid 19 and it seems we’ve kept that mentality. By the same token, have you noticed that in many cases we have become a people who see “unclean” not only when others are physically sick, but also if their behavior is different. We look at the way people talk in public, the way they eat, the way they are. Also, the term unclean might refer to anything that is impure in a spiritual, moral or ritual sense. But, no matter how others see us, with God, faith can lead us to purity.
