“I bear my testimony that there is no joy to be found in all this world like that of sweet communion with Christ. I would barter all else there is of heaven for that. Indeed, that is heaven.

Psalm 91 ‘On Eagles Wings’ – Shane and Shane
Considerable Quote:
"When Jesus died on the cross the mercy of God did not become any greater. It could not become any greater, for it was already infinite. We get the odd notion that God is showing mercy because Jesus died. No--Jesus died because God is showing mercy. It was the mercy of God that gave us Calvary, not Calvary that gave us mercy. If God had not been merciful there would have been no incarnation, no babe in the manger, no man on a cross and no open tomb." - A.W. Tozer

“Christ will be master of the heart, and sin must be mortified. If your life is unholy, then your heart is unchanged, and you are an unsaved person. The Savior will sanctify His people, renew them, give them a hatred of sin, and a love of holiness. The grace that does not make a man better than others is a worthless counterfeit. Christ saves His people, not IN their sins, but FROM their sins. Without holiness, no man shall see the Lord.”

Life’s challenges sometimes seem impossible. Do you feel you are too weak to fight the battle? Don’t give up! Keep your heart loyal to God, for He constantly watches over you, and desires to demonstrate His strength in your life. God is willing and just as capable of giving you victory in your current challenge as He was with those in times past. The question is not whether God is looking for His people, but whether His people are seeking Him. Take comfort in God’s promise that He watches over you and He wants to give you victory.

Today, we kick off a brand-new November series as we take a look at having an attitude of gratitude, and what it really means to be thankful in all things.
Considerable quote:
“When we aren’t intentional about pausing in gratitude, negative thinking and burnout often creep into our mind and heart. Gratitude, or a lack of it, colors our whole perspective. It impacts our time with God, the way we approach the tasks of the day, and our relationships with family, friends, students, the body of Christ and the unbelieving world. We are surrounded by a culture that breeds entitlement instead of gratitude. Some have never even been around people who exude joy and thankfulness. When they are around someone who genuinely exudes gratitude in their speech and demeanor, it is a testimony to the presence and personal work of God. Gratitude is refreshing, life-giving and contagious!”

We all mess up, Jonah is no exception. While I highly doubt that any of us have ended up in the belly of whale due to our disobedience, I can say for certain that we can learn from Jonah and apply the lessons that God was showing him in our lives.
Considerable Quote:
“You were forgiven from sin when you were saved. But you were save to turn from sin. Part of the Christian life is a continual fight against sin, even sin that other Christians may normalize. If we find ourselves walking along the wrong road, may we remember to turn back onto the right one. How easy it can be to forget out calling not to conform to the world, but to stand apart from it.”

Considerable Quote:
“God does not need your strength: he has more than enough power of His own. He asks your weakness: He has none of that Himself, and He is longing therefore, to take your weakness, and use it as the instrument in His own mighty hand. Will you not yieldyour weakness to Him, and receive His strength?”
-Spurgeon
Too many times we want to “clean up” our life before we invite the Holy Spirit in so we, in our “infinite” wisdom try to clean things up as best we can. Unfortunately, we cannot clean up our lives without the very thing that we are not letting in because we want to clean first.
Considerable quote:

We like to say we have flaws and faults, while we do, those are still sins. They are who we are. We can never be anything more than that. I know I'm a bit of a Debby Downer, but I think sometimes we make light of what sin is and who we truly are. I, Rachel Hines, even today after being saved for 24 years of my life, am a sinner. I am daily being saved from those sins by the blood of Jesus.
Considerable Quote:
“My evidence that I am saved does not lie in the fact that I preach, or that I do this or that. All my hope lies in this: that Jesus Christ came to save sinners. I am a sinner, I trust Him, then He came to save me, and I am saved”

This month we are taking a look at the premise of Jesus “Trading
Spaces” with us. He had the most amazing situation, He was in
heaven sitting right next to God, living in this perfect paradise. And one day He would have to leave everything that He has to come down and
not only be born in a nasty, dirty stable.
Considerable Quote:
“We must remember that no matter what
we do, or how successful we are in life. Without Jesus we’ve
totally lost everything”

three effects of nearness to Jesus;
humility, happiness, and holiness.”

Today we are finishing up on our episodes titled Humble Pie. As Christians it is part of our walk in Salvation to remain humble and always direct praise to He who deserves all the praise. I think being humble is one of those things that is definitely easier to say and harder to do.

In Josh's wise words, the opposite of humble is pride.. I want to take a little look into that today. If pride is thinking of yourself, of raising yourself up, and humility is the opposite, then humility would be not thinking of ourselves, and lowering ourselves.

vision that God is all.”

“Humility is the only soil in which grace is rooted; the lack of humility is the sufficient explanation of every defect and failure. Humility is not so much a virtue along with others; it is the root of all, because it alone takes the right attitude before God, and allows Him as God to do all.”

What are you walking by? The temptation for a believer is…to not believe. Yet the Bible tells us that we are a people who walk by faith and not by sight. In other words- trust in faith, ignore the funk. Not rely upon the stench of the situation- but believe the Savior in every circumstance.
Considerable Quote:
“God never wants us to look at our feelings. Self may want us to; Satan may want us to. But God wants us to face facts, not feelings. God never gives feelings to enable us to trust Him; God never gives feelings to encourage us to trust Him; God never gives feelings to show that we have already and utterly trusted Him. God gives feelings only when He sees that we trust Him apart from all feelings, resting on His own Word, and on His own faithfulness to His promise. Never until then can the feeling (which is from God) possibly come; and God will give the feeling in such a measure and at such a time as His love sees best for the individual case.”

When we start looking at our past mistakes, or looking at what we can do in ourselves, we will fall. When we look to the truth AKA the Bible, we see a different story.
Considerable Quote: "The only hope I have to live the Christian life is to not base it upon my life, experience, or what I’ve seen in the past. I must take every step moving forward on the solid rock, unchanging, life-enabling, victorious-giving foundation of Scripture. Even if I have never experienced victory and triumph before, I move forward trusting that what God says in Scripture IS truth; therefore, I will allow the Spirit to produce it in my life. I walk forward in obedience while living a surrendered and dependent life upon the only One who can accomplish His Word in my life."

Instead of believing His promises, we would rather take what we “know” and worry ourselves to death. Not only is this unbiblical for Christians it is also exhausting. If you are jumping to conclusions in every situation in your life and not leaning on God for guidance, you are always going to be in a state of fear and discontentment.

Even so far as everything in this world should be dead to us
compared to our love for Christ. But now what? What do we
get from everything being dead to us while we are still actually
living?

The fact is all of us, every single one of us will in fact face disappointment. For a lot of us, even growing up in church, the most advice we received about being disappointed in life was when our parents responded with ‘yeah, well life’s not fair!’ And there’s some truth to that, but I can’t say it’s the most beneficial method of dealing with disappointment.
Considerable Quote:
“Give God His glory by resting in Him, by trusting in Him fully, by waiting patientlty for Him. This patience honors Him greatly. It leaves Him, as God on the throne, to do His Work. It yields self wholly into His hands. It lets God be God.”

Finding an animal sacrifice was no easy task. Finding just the right one, at the right time, for the right thing was a lot of work! Not to mention how it had to look and smell all the time. Today we're talking animal sacrifices and how that compares to us today.
Quote:
“Prayer is reaching out after the unseen; fasting is letting go of all that is seen and temporal. Fasting helps express, deepen, confirm the resolution that we are ready to sacrifice anything, even ourselves to attain what we seek for the kingdom of God.”
-Andrew Murray
We all know that we are to sacrifice in our Christian lives. But how do we make sure that we are sacrificing the correct way? What makes a Sacrifice acceptable?
Considerable quote:
“If you ask God to Lead you, don’t be surprised when He leads you to make sacrifices, when He leads you to dark times, when He leads you to uncomfortable situations. It’s those things that make us want to cling closer to God. When God is leading you, the pathway you’re traveling will invariably bring you closer to Him.”

Sometimes we are just party poopers, and aren't thankful. Is that wrong? Is it a big deal?
Today's quote is from Henry Ward Beecher “The unthankful heart... discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings!

There are five little words that can strike fear into the heart of nearly any pastor or youth leader mid-church service. Because, the truth is, faith makes you do...strange things. Whether Noah's building a big old boat, Abraham is raising a knife to his son, or Moses is walking hopeless slaves out of the grip of a evil dictator- God's people operate under the influence of the invisible. Is there still a reality to allowing God to call the shots in our lives? What would it look like to invoke the invisible influence of the Great I Am in our lives?

So does Noah do what he knows, and can see, which is that it's never rained before, so why build an ark, or trust God Who can already see the rain? Come with us today to find out how we rely on the Invisible God to give us Invisible Insight to do things that no one but Him would have seen coming.
Today's considerable quote comes from one of my favorite authors Nancy Leigh DeMoss “God's Will is what we would choose if we knew what God knows.”
Today's featured song is Confidence by Sanctus Real
As humans we are unable to see the real reality on our own, it is impossible. The only way that we can see this reality is for God to show it to us. Too often we tell God what we think we need, when in reality He knows that what we need is an invisible intervention!

Often Christians are encouraged to have faith like a mountain- yet Jesus tells us that our faith should be big enough to move mountains. In fact, our faith should be more like an ocean which moves with motion, always absorbing the blows of life to make our faith larger. Instead of rigid faith like a mountain, what if our faith were big enough to swallow mountains that crumble in our life. What if we were unmovable even through the motion that hits our life.

Before Jesus could rise from the grave, He first had to die on the cross. Jesus beckons each believer to do the same; if you want to find your life, you first have to lose your life for My sake, Jesus says. Yet, Jesus did not come back to life in order that a body named Jesus could live, but we rejoice in the resurrection as Jesus now gives His life to us!

After Celebrating the Easter season, most of us have come to the realization that Jesus came back to life- and in doing so defeated the death and the grave. But what most of us fail to recognize is that Jesus conquered so much more. More than death, more than the grave- Jesus died and rose again to conquer the Kit & Caboodle- He defeated sin- and in doing Jesus gave us victory.

Though we may be unable to comprehend the great depths of His suffering, what we can comprehend is that He was willing to suffer, and so should we.

Don't let the trivial trials trick you...even now, still, God is Good- whenever and wherever. And nothing, absolutely nothing can ever change that.
With the trials of 2020 behind us and the uncertainty of 2021 ahead of us, many of us feel like we're standing right at the edge of the Red Sea. What if God led us here for a purpose? What if there were a point to our problems behind and before us? What if God has a reason for our Red Sea Reality?
What get's God's attention? It's a big question. While you would think He keeps Himself occupied with hanging stars, clothing hills, and feeding sparrows- it's easy to assume that such a powerful and busy God has little time for mere 'vapors' in the wind as the Bible calls man. But what if every concern and care that crashes its way into your life got the attention of the God of the universe? What if the things that matter to you, mattered just as much to The Master?
Many are left with the feeling that there's not much to celebrate when it comes to Christmas this year. Yet, when we really comprehend how monumental the truth of Christmas is not only to all of history, but in our very own lives- we find a reason to celebrate Christmas, even this year.
