Grab your Bible and join us from the Chatham Transition Ministries Tuesday night devotional. Using Romans 1:18-32, we'll see how easily we can deny God in daily life, neglect true worship, or give our hearts to lesser things. This study is both a mirror for our own hearts and an invitation to return to wholehearted allegiance to the God who has redeemed us in Christ. Join us as we are warned not to walk the forbidden path and rediscover pure worship for our good and God's glory.

What a comfort to every believer that the Lord Jesus Christ prays for us on an individual level. He sees your need, and He prays for you!

Does God promise the church a supernatural wealth transfer or economic dominion over society? In this episode, Dave Jenkins examines the Business Mountain of the Seven Mountain Mandate, including marketplace apostles, prosperity theology, Word of Faith teaching, and claims that Christians must finance the kingdom through marketplace influence. Scripture calls Christians to faithful work, wise stewardship, generosity, contentment, and trust in God's providence.

A brief bit of encouragement for the journey from God's Word. Today's Scripture reading: 2 Samuel 12 To support this devotional ministry: https://faithbaptiststerling.com/give/ Music: "Awaken the Dawn" by Stanton Lanierhttps://www.stantonlanier.com CCLI #20109360

The sermon addresses the sin of jealousy by examining John the Baptist's response to his declining influence as Jesus' ministry grew. It highlights John's contentment in his role as the friend of the bridegroom, finding joy in the souls moving toward Christ rather than clinging to personal acclaim. The central theme emphasizes that all spiritual gifts and crowds belong to God, urging believers to relinquish ownership of their ministries and reputations. This perspective transforms potential envy into profound satisfaction, rooted in the understanding that Christ must always have preeminence. Ultimately, the message calls for a daily posture of humility where self diminishes so that Jesus may increase in every area of life.

This week we look at hope spoken from the ruins — Jeremiah, having lost nearly everything, declaring that God's mercies are new every morning and His faithfulness is great.
