Know God, and keep his word in your heart. He will be merciful, and forget your sins.

Be comforted with the knowledge that Jesus is praying for you.

Be patient, and remain faithful. God's word is true, and it always comes to pass. It just might take some time.

We are continuing our “Holy Water” series. Together, we have been exploring the person and ministry of the Holy Spirit, trying to de-mystify who He is, the ways He works and His place in our lives. Last week, we started talking about the things that the Spirit empowers believers to do after salvation, starting with a look at prayer. This week, we’re exploring how He gives power for proclamation. Over and over, the Bible says something like, “And the Spirit came mightily upon Him to do this or that.” The things the Old Testament saints were able to do were the result of the Holy Spirit’s work in their lives; He enabled them to do what they did. And the result of those supernatural happenings is that God was glorified, people were drawn to Him, and word of His goodness and power spread.

Pastor Dobbs ministers from Matthew 4:4 on how a believer should follow the example of Jesus and live by the Word of God. When we follow His example, we can expect the same results that Jesus walked in while He was on the earth. Scripture: Matthew 4:4 - But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”

God knows you. Before you were ever formed, before anyone ever called your name, God already knew you. You are not random. You are not overlooked. You are not forgotten. In this powerful message, Pastor Timothy Elder teaches that from the very beginning, God created you with intention and marked you with purpose. Even when life makes you feel unseen, God has never lost sight of you. You are known by God—fully, personally, and intentionally. This is Part 1 of a message that will challenge how you see yourself and remind you of who you are in Him. www.kingdomrock.org

Praise God! Isn't it good to know that angels have been sent to minister for you, to protect you, and to assist you.

The old life is gone. We have been renewed in the image of Christ, so let's put on the new man.

Why does doing what God says sometimes feel harder than doing what we know is wrong? Many believers quietly struggle with this tension. We know what Scripture says. We feel the Holy Spirit prompting us. Yet something inside us still hesitates. In this episode of The Uncommon Christian, Jon Ellis explores why obedience can feel difficult in the moment and why sin often seems easier at first. Drawing from powerful biblical examples like Peter stepping out of the boat and Abraham trusting God with Isaac, this episode reveals a truth many Christians overlook: obedience rarely begins with full understanding. Sin promises immediate comfort, control, and relief. Obedience often requires faith before we see the outcome. But Scripture consistently shows that real freedom, growth, and transformation happen on the other side of obedience. If you've ever felt the tension between what God is asking and what feels easier in the moment, this episode will challenge and encourage you to take the next step of faith. Because uncommon faith is not built by accident. It grows through everyday obedience. In this episode, Jon Ellis explores the tension many believers quietly face between knowing what God says and actually doing it. From Peter stepping out of the boat to Abraham trusting God on the mountain, Scripture shows that obedience often requires faith before understanding. Sin promises immediate reward, but obedience leads to lasting freedom. If you want to grow deeper in your faith and stop negotiating with obedience, this episode will challenge you to take the next step. #christiandiscipleship, #obedience, #followingjesus, #faithinpractice, #christianpodcast, #theuncommonchristian, #biblicaltruth, #spiritledlife, #christianfaith, #walkwithgod, #faithoverfeelings, #christianencouragement, #Bible, #Jesus, #HolySpirit

We are in a series called Holy Water. The goal is to de-mystify the Holy Spirit and re-frame Him in your mind using scripture. This is important because there is so much unbiblical teaching and opinions about Him out there — some out of ignorance and some that is intentionally deceptive. So far, we’ve learned that the Holy Spirit is God, and He serves many important roles in the life of a believer. Last week, we also discovered that there is a deeper (not different) work that the Holy Spirit wants to do in us and through us. This week, we are starting to explore what Jesus told the 500 believers who were gathered on the mountain in Acts 1:8. He said, “You will receive power after the Holy Spirit comes upon you. ”Many churches have emphasized other things when it comes to the Holy Spirit, but Jesus made it clear: conversations about what the Spirit offers to us after we’re saved must be rooted in the idea of power. For the next two weeks, we’re looking at what the Holy Spirit empowers us to do when we surrender to Him, starting with prayer.
