  • Your Life Matters: What the Bible REALLY Says About Suicide | Be The 25

    Send In Your Question for the Podcast

    Suicide is a tough topic, but we can’t ignore it. Maybe you've wondered: What does the Bible actually say about it? Can someone who dies by suicide go to heaven? Maybe you've lost someone and are struggling to make sense of it all. Or maybe—just maybe—you’re battling those thoughts yourself, feeling like there’s no way forward… but there IS.

    🎧 In this episode, we break down what the Bible says about suicide:

    ⚠️ Suicide is a sin – Life is a gift from God (Exodus 20:13, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Ending your own life goes against His design, but HE is the One who can carry you through even the darkest times.

    🐍 Suicide is part of Satan’s strategy – Jesus warned us that the enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). Satan wants to convince you there’s no way out, but that’s a LIE. Jesus offers life, hope, and healing. YOU MATTER more than you know, and God has a purpose for your life (Jeremiah 29:11).

    💔 Suicide always brings suffering to others – It doesn’t just affect one person. Families, friends, and communities are left with deep grief and pain. But even in the midst of loss, God brings comfort and healing to those affected.

    📌 KEY SCRIPTURES:
    • Exodus 20:13 – "You shall not murder." (Suicide is self-homicide)
    • John 10:10 – "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."
    • Jeremiah 29:11 – "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to give you a hope and a future."
    • 2 Corinthians 1:8-10 – Even Paul despaired of life, but God delivered him and gave him hope!
    • Psalm 34:18 – "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."

  • Why Are There So Many Church Denominations? | Be The 25

    Send In Your Question for the Podcast

    🎙️ SHOW NOTES: Why Are There So Many Church Denominations?
    Have you ever wondered why there are SO MANY church denominations? 🏛️✝️ Today on Be the 25, we’re uncovering how the Christian faith branched out into various denominations—and WHAT THAT MEANS for YOU as you live out your faith. 🌱

    🎧 Episode Highlights:

    • The very first church began shortly after Jesus’ resurrection and ascension. Followers of Jesus met in homes, prayed, worshiped, and spread the Good News. 🏠🙏
    • As Christianity spread globally 🌍, theological differences emerged over secondary doctrines—like how to baptize, celebrate communion, or structure church leadership.
    • Two MAJOR splits shaped church history:
      • The Great Schism (A.D. 1054): Divided Christianity into the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church. 📜
      • The Protestant Reformation (16th century): Sparked by Martin Luther and the desire for believers to read Scripture for themselves. 📖 This led to diverse groups like Baptists, Methodists, Pentecostals, and non-denominational churches. ✝️✨

    💡 Key Takeaways:
    Division: Denominations started because of disagreements over secondary doctrines—like baptism, church leadership, and spiritual gifts. Though Christians stayed united on core beliefs, these theological differences and matters of conscience led to splits over time. 🧐

    Diversity: Christianity adapted to different regions and cultures as it spread. This diversity brought unique worship styles, traditions, allowing believers to express their faith in ways that suited their context. 🌍💒

    🚨 A Warning About Cults:
    Not every group claiming to be Christian is a denomination. Cults reject core truths like Jesus’ divinity or elevate their leader's teachings above Scripture. Stay grounded in biblical truth. 📜🔍

    🙌 Final Thoughts:
    Denominations reflect diversity in how believers live out their faith while staying united in foundational truths. Find a church that stays faithful to Scripture and helps you grow in your walk with Jesus. 🌱✨
