In this episode we explore the majesty and power of God, as described in Psalm 8. This Psalm depicts God's supremacy and love for humanity. It emphasizes God's immense greatness and power as the Creator of the universe, and concurrently, His profound value and care for humanity, His most cherished creation.

Believing in God as the Creator can be "a challenging subject for some," as their minds find it "difficult to conceive this to be true." This difficulty is because they have not discovered the pathway to FAITH.

Individuals can understand and connect with God through "FAITH" and belief in Him and His Word, Jesus Christ.

If you have ever wondered about the Supremacy of the LORD camp right here, and let us share with you the greatness of God.

In this episode, we focus on the New Testament book of III John. It contrasts effective spiritual leadership with an immature and self-serving leader who sought preeminence, was unwelcoming to visiting teachers, and lacked genuine hospitality, ultimately hindering true fellowship.

These actions are detrimental because they disrupt true fellowship, create chaos and conflict, hinder the spread of the Gospel, and place personal power and insecurity above Christ's headship of the Church.

Correction, though often misconstrued as "criticizing" in this day and time, is an essential component of God's true love, and is necessary to address sin and steer believers back onto the right path. We can see this is what many of the prophets of old did, and it's still necessary today. However, know that many leaders don't want to be corrected, particularly those who want the preeminence. But we have direction from the Lord to do just that, using scripture. 2 Timothy 3:16 states, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness,

True ministry prioritizes God's will over personal agendas. It's important to correct sin and maintain Christian principles for the health of the Church.

God doesn't play favorites based on a rank or position. The Church belongs to Christ, and faithfulness and obedience to God leads to a victorious life.

In many places of worship today, the Diotrephes spirit is prevalent, with leaders wanting to be the main attraction, rather than God.

Listen as we encourage you in this episode to keep your focus locked on the Lord.

Psalm 5 reflects King David's personal experience of being slandered and betrayed. His life was filled with challenges, yet he learned to "ALWAYS TRUST GOD!"

David's journey demonstrates that despite complex situations and feeling burdened, turning to the Lord and patiently waiting on Him brings unexplainable peace. This peace comes from recognizing God as the ultimate source of security and significance, who protects and directs the righteous.

Trust is crucial for a good relationship with the Lord. It means entrusting our well-being and happiness to Him, recognizing that God always knows if and when He is a priority in our lives.

Trusting God means believing He is omniscient and knows everything about everyone and everything past, present, and future. It's a fundamental aspect of becoming strong in Him and learning to be open and honest with Him.

God provides Protection and Direction for those who abide in Him and trust His divine plan.

The phrase "Let The Redeemed Of The Lord Say So" (Psalm 107:2) is often used in worship, but its deeper meaning regarding why and how people are redeemed is not always fully understood.

"Saying So" means acknowledging Christ's redemptive work and living a transformed life.

To "Say So" as the redeemed of the Lord means to acknowledge and declare a profound understanding of "Redemption". It's not just an exuberant verbal response during worship, but a conscious recognition that Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, redeemed us.

It’s an outward expression of an inward transformation, and appreciation for Christ's sacrifice.

When you hear the word “beauty”, where does your mind usually go. Is it the images we see everywhere, the perfect face, the ideal body type, the latest trends?

True beauty comes from within, specifically from one's soul, which is the essence of who they truly are. It is not superficial or external, but is deeply embedded into the fabric of one's being by God, who is love.

This inner beauty flourishes as an individual embraces God's Word, grows in His grace, and allows the fruit of His Spirit to manifest within them. It's a "wellspring of love and truth" that comes forth from the depth of the heart.

Listen and learn that beauty is not just skin deep.

In this episode, we explore the biblical book of Obadiah, focusing on the conflict between the twin brothers Jacob and Esau and their descendants. The nation of Edom was of Esau, and the nation of Israel was of Jacob. Their descendants were the Edomites and the Israelites.

We highlight how their initial rivalry escalated into generations of animosity, with Obadiah's prophecy foretelling God's judgment upon Edom due to their mistreatment of Israel. Obadiah prophesies, telling them that their deeds will return upon their own heads. They will reap what they sowed.

This historical family feud provides a lesson on the dangers of jealousy, envy, bitterness and pride. Unresolved conflict and bitterness can have devastating, long-term consequences.

Listen and learn the following from this historical family feud:

1. Hurt, if not dealt with, can cause lingering effects across generations. Don't let sibling rivalry grievances pass down to your children, and become a part of their heritage.

2. If you've been hurt or mistreated, don't get bitter. Get wiser and better.

3. Nothing can protect you from the consequences of God's justice.

4. If you set yourself up against someone or something that has divine backing, you are setting yourself up for failure.

5. You cannot curse what God has blessed.

In this episode, we discuss "Making The Best of Now", emphasizing the importance of living in the present moment rather than dwelling on the past.

Life & Time are precious gifts from God.

We want to encourage listeners to learn from past experiences but not be hindered by them, advocating for letting go of pain and resentment through repentance and inviting God into one's life.

Developing self-control and living by God's principles is crucial for spiritual growth and experiencing God's presence and kingdom. HIs kingdom is not a physical realm, but is allowing him to rule and reign in your life "NOW". It's a state of righteousness, peace, and joy, experienced through the Holy Spirit.

Our central message is to you is that you fully embrace and live in the present moment. Let go of past regrets and unresolved issues. The past cannot be changed, but how it impacts the present and future can by relying on God's help and principles to live a disciplined, righteous, and fulfilling life in the present.
