    1/26/25 - Resilient Faith Part 4: Living from a Resilient Heart - Pastor Josh Stelly

    True resilience is born out of a lifelong commitment to seeking and applying God’s wisdom. As we allow His truth to transform our hearts and guide us, we can flourish even in the midst of trials. 1. Listen Carefully • Proverbs 4:20 – Pay attention to God’s words and incline your ear to His wisdom. • Isaiah 6:9 – Many hear but do not understand; true wisdom requires intentional listening. 2. Keep Careful Watch • Proverbs 4:21–22 – God’s wisdom must remain in our hearts, bringing life and healing. 3. Guard at All Cost • Proverbs 4:23 – Guarding our hearts is crucial because it determines the course of our lives. • Matthew 12:33–37 – Our words and actions reflect the condition of our hearts. • Mark 7:20–23 – Evil comes from within; transformation begins in the heart. 4. Remain Focused • Proverbs 4:24–25 – Keep deceit and distractions away, fixing your eyes on God’s truth. 5. Choose the Right Path • Proverbs 4:26–27 – Walk in wisdom, staying on the path God has set before you. Bottom Line: By listening to God’s wisdom, guarding our hearts, and staying focused on His truth, we develop the resilience to stand firm in any circumstance. “Lord, when my eye confronts my heart, and I realize that you filled my heart with your love, I am breathless and amazement. Once my heart was so small in its vision, so narrow in its compassion, so weak in its zeal for truth. Then you chose to enter my heart, and now in my heart I can see you, I can love all your people, and I have courage to proclaim the truth of your gospel to anyone and everyone. Like wax before a fire, my heart has melted under the heat of your love.” – Nicholas Ludwig von Zinzendorf Timestamps: (00:00:00) Intro (00:00:45) Prayer for Pastor Benjamin from India and Welcoming (00:07:29) A Summary of the Series (00:09:31) The Message Sermon Notes: https://tpob.org/sermon/living-from-a-resilient-heart

I am the way, the truth, and the life. 7. I am the vine. 8. I am the Christ.

Could he possibly be the Messiah?” – John 4:29 Timestamps: (00:00:00) Welcoming (00:03:39) Pastor Thomas Hood (00:09:32) Praying For Friends in the Dominican Republic (00:17:01) The Message Sermon Notes: https://tpob.org/sermon/the-healing-journey/

    1/12/25 - Resilient Faith Part 2: Anchored in Hope - Pastor Josh Stelly

    We seek to discover the unshakable hope that anchors our souls and helps us navigate difficulties. As C.S. Lewis once wrote, “God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.” Spiritual Dullness vs. Active Faith • Hebrews 6:12a warns us against becoming spiritually dull (Greek: nothroi, meaning “indifferent”). • 2 Peter 1:5–8 encourages us to respond to God’s promises with faith, moral excellence, knowledge, self-control, endurance, godliness, and love. • Hebrews 6:12b reminds us that through faith and endurance, we inherit God’s promises. What Has Been Promised? 1. The Earth – Matthew 5:5 2. The Kingdom – Matthew 25:34 3. Eternal Life – 1 Corinthians 15:50 4. Angelic Support – Hebrews 1:14 5. Blessing – 1 Peter 3:9 6. A New Heaven and Earth – Revelation 21:1–7 The Certainty of God’s Promise • Hebrews 6:13–15 highlights God’s promise to Abraham, fulfilled through patient endurance. • Hebrews 6:16–18 assures us that God’s oath and promise are unchangeable, providing us with confidence and hope. • God cannot lie. • We have taken refuge in Him. • Hope is set before us. Two Unchangeable Things: 1. God’s Promise 2. God’s Oath Hope as an Anchor for the Soul • Hebrews 6:19–20 describes hope as a strong and trustworthy anchor, leading us into God’s presence through Jesus, our eternal High Priest. • Our resilience is built by anchoring our souls to Jesus, the unshakable hope that sustains us in trials. The Bottom Line: When we anchor our souls in Christ, our unshakable hope, we develop the resilience needed to withstand life’s challenges. “In all my troubles, I have cried out to You, and You have heard me. I have been tossed and turned upon the waves, yet You have always anchored me in Yourself. You are my steadfast hope and my unwavering rock. In You alone, my soul finds rest and peace.” – St. Augustine of Hippo Sermon Notes: https://tpob.org/sermon/anchored-in-hope/

    Resilience is the ability to endure life’s hardships and emerge stronger than before. The Bible encourages us to remain steadfast in faith, trusting in God’s strength and promises even in challenging times. Biblical Resilience: • Luke 21:29-36 reminds us to stay alert and prayerful, keeping our hearts focused on God rather than the distractions of life. • Matthew 16:18 reassures us that the Church, built on Christ, will stand victorious against all opposition. • Philippians 4:13 declares that our strength comes from Christ, empowering us to overcome any challenge. • Matthew 25:1-10 teaches the importance of preparedness, urging us to stay ready for Christ’s return. • 2 Chronicles 16:9 affirms that God strengthens those who are fully committed to Him. Three Essential Practices for Spiritual Resilience: 1. Daily Immersion in God’s Word • Ephesians 5:25-26 highlights the cleansing and renewing power of Scripture in our lives. 2. Prayer and Fasting • Prayer connects us with God, while fasting helps us detach from worldly distractions and focus on spiritual growth. 3. Commitment to Community • Romans 12:5 reminds us that we belong to one another in the body of Christ, emphasizing the importance of fellowship and mutual support. Next Steps: • Make time for daily Scripture reading. • Cultivate a consistent prayer and fasting routine. • Engage actively in your faith community for encouragement and accountability.

    12/29/24 - Deeply Rooted: Solitude - Pastor Melissa Stelly

    In today’s fast-paced world, the greatest challenge to our faith may not be secularism but distraction. Jesus modeled the importance of withdrawing from life’s busyness to find rest and renewal in God’s presence. Understanding Solitude: 1. What Solitude Is Not • Solitude is not isolation or avoidance but an intentional pursuit of God’s presence. • Reflection: Have you viewed solitude as loneliness rather than a spiritual necessity? 2. The Meaning of Solitude • Solitude is quiet time with God, creating space to hear His voice and align with His will. • Reflection: How often do you intentionally seek time alone with God? 3. Silence and Stillness • Silence removes distractions; stillness opens our hearts to God’s guidance. • Reflection: Are you cultivating inner quiet to truly listen to God? 4. The Invitation to Solitude • Solitude is a practice, not just a place. Jesus invites us to come to Him for rest and renewal (Matthew 11:28-30). • Reflection: How can you make solitude a regular part of your life? Next Steps: • Set aside daily quiet time with God. • Embrace silence and stillness to hear His voice. • Trust that God meets you in solitude to renew your soul.
