    When Conflict Separates You, Do You Know What to Do?

    When conflict separates you from the people you love and the work you know God has called you to, do you know what to do? In this closing episode of the conflict series from Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster draws from 2 Timothy 3:5-7, Colossians 2:5, and Colossians 1:28-29 (KJV) to remind us that separation does not have to mean surrender. You might be asking — What do I do when I cannot be with the people I am praying for? What do I do when ministry feels impossible? Can God still use me when everything has changed? What do I do when I feel like quitting? Here is what this devotion will show you: - Paul was in prison but never stopped caring for those he could not reach in person - Separation — whether physical, relational, or circumstantial — does not cancel your calling - The only thing that perfects believers is the Word of God, and we must keep preaching it - When you feel like quitting, tag your partner — the Lord Jesus Christ - Your prayers for loved ones are never in vain in the Lord If this series has blessed you, share it with someone who is facing a season of conflict and needs this reminder today.

    Are You Being Fooled by False Teaching?

    Are you being fooled by false teaching without even knowing it? In this Words From The Word devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster opens Colossians chapter 2 verses 2 through 4 in the King James Version to show us what the Apostle Paul prayed for the church — and what he warned them about. You might be asking — Why did Paul pray so urgently for people he wasn't even physically with? What does it mean to be enriched, established, and enlightened in the faith? How can Satan disguise himself so convincingly? And what does it look like when people have itching ears today? Key points from this devotion: - Paul prayed that believers would be enriched in understanding, established in maturity, and enlightened in the knowledge of Christ - All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Christ alone - Satan transforms himself into an angel of light and uses false teachers to mislead God's people - The days of itching ears are here — people are turning from sound doctrine to what they want to hear - The cults are busy while believers are hiding — we must not help Satan by being passive or uninformed If this devotion encouraged you, please like, leave a comment, share it with someone who needs it, and subscribe so you never miss a word from the Word. #WordsFromTheWord #KJV #BibleDevotion #ChristianLiving #GoodNewsBaptistChurch Stay connected with GNBC: 🌐 Website: www.gnbcnetwork.org CHAPTERS: 0:00 Opening Hymn — Living for Jesus 0:34 Introduction to Colossians 2 0:58 Scripture Reading — Colossians 2:2-3 1:28 Paul's Three Prayers for the Church 2:32 All Wisdom Is Hidden in Christ 2:58 Ephesians 1 — Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation 4:50 The Situation — Danger of False Doctrine 5:36 Satan Disguised as an Angel of Light 7:26 Itching Ears Warning — 2 Timothy 4 9:10 Closing Exhortation — Stay Alert 9:46 Closing Blessing

    Are You Sure You're Safe in Christ?

    Are you sure you are safe in Christ? In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster of Good News Baptist Church in Sint Maarten opens Colossians 2:2 in the KJV to unpack the Apostle Paul's powerful prayer for believers — a prayer not for money or material things, but for something far greater: the full assurance of understanding. You might be asking — what does it mean to be complete in Christ? Or maybe you wonder, can a person really know they have eternal life? Perhaps you have been living with uncertainty about where you stand with God. Or maybe you already believe but have never fully grasped how richly blessed you already are as a child of God. In this devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster walks us through three key truths: - Believers are already blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ (Ephesians 1:3) - We are complete in Him — lacking nothing spiritually (Colossians 2:9-10) - The Word of God gives us full assurance of faith and eternal life (1 John 5:13, Hebrews 10:22) If you have never trusted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, today is the day. Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

    Are You Discouraged? Here's What Paul Prayed For You

    Are you discouraged and wondering if anyone truly loves you or prays for you? In today's Words From The Word devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster continues the series on the great conflict Paul faced as a leader — and shares what Paul prayed for the believers he could not physically reach. Drawing from Colossians 2:2-3 and Colossians 1:9 (KJV), Pastor Roderick Webster unpacks the significance of Paul's prayer and what it reveals about the spiritual battles we face today. You might be asking yourself: - Why does discouragement hit so hard, even in the church? - Is it possible to love someone who keeps pushing me away? - Why does unity matter so much to Satan's plan against us? - What does it mean to be "knit together in love"? Key points from this devotion: - Discouragement is the first weapon Satan uses against immature believers - Paul prayed specifically and consistently — not vaguely — for those he loved - Satan's goal is to isolate us from love; God's goal is to unite us in it - Love is reciprocal — and those hardest to love often need it most - John 13:35 reminds us that love is the mark of true discipleship If this devotion encouraged you, please like, leave a comment, share it with someone who needs it, and subscribe so you never miss a word. #WordsFromTheWord #KJV #BibleDevotion #ChristianLiving #GoodNewsBaptistChurch Stay connected with GNBC: 🌐 Website: www.gnbcnetwork.org CHAPTERS: 0:00 Opening 0:39 Hymn: Living for Jesus 1:12 Review: The Great Conflict 1:47 Scripture: Colossians 2:2-3 2:57 Pray Before You Try to Solve It 3:54 What Paul's Prayers Looked Like 5:31 Discouragement: Satan's First Weapon 6:27 The Power of Being United in Love 8:54 Closing Prayer and Blessing

    Are You Growing After Salvation? The Conflict Leaders Face

    Are you truly growing after salvation, or have you settled for just being saved? In this devotion from Colossians 2 and 2 Timothy 2 (KJV), Pastor Roderick Webster of Good News Baptist Church digs into what he calls the great conflict of the leader — the deep burden Paul carried for believers who needed to move beyond salvation into spiritual maturity. You might be asking: Is being saved enough, or is God calling me to grow deeper? Why does the Bible compare the Christian life to a soldier, an athlete, and a farmer? What does it mean to strive lawfully for the crown? Why do pastors carry such a heavy burden for the people they lead? Key points from this devotion: - Paul's great conflict was not for the lost but for the spiritual maturity of saved believers - A good soldier endures hardness, a good athlete strives lawfully, and a good farmer works hard — all patterns for the Christian life - Ben Johnson lost his crown because he did not strive lawfully — a warning for every believer - Leaders need understanding from the Lord to guide people toward maturity (2 Timothy 2:7) - God gave pastors and teachers to perfect the saints and protect them from deceptive doctrine (Ephesians 4:11-14) If this devotion encouraged you, please like, comment, share, and subscribe.

    Are You Ready for the Battle You're Already In?

    Are you ready for the battle you're already in? In this daily devotion from Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster of Good News Baptist Church in Sint Maarten opens up Colossians chapter 2 to reveal the intensity of the spiritual conflict every believer faces — whether they realize it or not. You might be asking: Why does following Jesus sometimes feel like a struggle? Is spiritual warfare real and does it affect me personally? What does it look like to grow and mature in the faith? How do I keep going when the enemy feels like he's winning? Pastor Roderick Webster draws from Ephesians 6:12, Colossians 1:29, and 2 Timothy 2:3-5 (KJV) to show us that this is not a battle against flesh and blood — it is a very real, very intense wrestling match against principalities, powers, and spiritual wickedness in high places. Key points from this devotion: - The conflict Paul describes in Colossians 2 is serious, intense, and personal - Every child of God is already in a spiritual battle whether they feel it or not - You cannot afford to sit around — you must keep fighting and growing - A good soldier, a good athlete, and a faithful husbandman are our models for endurance - God gives strength to those who refuse to give up Like, comment, share, and subscribe to stay rooted in the Word every day.

    Are You Holding the Fort When the Battle Gets Hard?

    Are you holding the fort when the battle gets hard and courage seems almost gone? In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster of Good News Baptist Church opens Colossians 2:1-10 (KJV) and unpacks the deep, serious conflict the Apostle Paul carried in his heart for believers he had never even met. You might be asking: Why would Paul agonize over people he couldn't see and had never visited? How can one person's concern for others be that intense? What does this kind of burden look like for leaders today? And what does it mean to truly hold the fort in a moment when courage seems to be failing? In this devotion, Pastor Webster walks us through: - The seriousness of Paul's conflict and why he called it a "great conflict" - How Paul's love for the church moved him to pray and write even from prison - The spiritual, mental, and emotional weight of caring for God's people - A call to leaders to take a firm stand on the Word of God - What it looks like when a true shepherd loves his sheep Like, comment, share, and subscribe so you never miss a daily word of encouragement from Words From The Word. #WordsFromTheWord #KJV #BibleDevotion #ChristianLiving #GoodNewsBaptistChurch Stay connected with GNBC: 🌐 Website: www.gnbcnetwork.org CHAPTERS: 0:00 Opening 0:35 Hold the Fort — Song Reflection 1:36 Colossians 2:5 — Present in Spirit 2:05 The Seriousness of the Conflict 2:28 Colossians 2:1 — A Great Conflict 2:59 Paul's Burden for Believers He Never Met 4:23 Spiritual, Mental, and Emotional Weight 7:07 A Call to Leaders — Take Your Stand 8:17 Closing and Preview of Next Devotion

    Can Conflict Actually Strengthen Your Faith?

    Can conflict actually strengthen your faith? In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens Colossians 2:1-10 and Acts 20:20-24 (KJV) to show us how the early church remained unmoved in the middle of serious struggle — and how we can too. You might be asking: Why does conflict follow me even in my Christian walk? Can I stay rooted in Christ when everything around me is shaking? What does it really mean to be complete in Him? How did Paul lead and love people he had never even met? Pastor Roderick Webster walks us through the heart of the Apostle Paul as he writes from prison to churches he deeply cared for. Through the story of Epaphras — a homegrown preacher who started the Colossian church — we learn that God uses faithful, rooted people right where they are. Key points from this devotion: - Conflict is not a sign that God has left you — it is part of the Christian journey - You can be absent in body but present in prayer, as Paul was for the Colossians - Being rooted and built up in Christ is the anchor in every storm - God raises up faithful servants from among us — homegrown and Spirit-led - You are complete in Him — not in your circumstances If this message encouraged you, please like, leave a comment, share it with someone who needs it, and subscribe so you never miss a devotion. #WordsFromTheWord #KJV #BibleDevotion #ChristianLiving #GoodNewsBaptistChurch Stay connected with GNBC: 🌐 Website: www.gnbcnetwork.org CHAPTERS: 0:00 Opening Greeting 0:06 Song: Hold the Fort 0:39 Reading Colossians 2:1-10 KJV 3:16 Reading Acts 20:20-24 KJV 4:14 The Church Unmoved in Conflict 5:00 Paul's Heart for the Colossians 5:49 Who Was Epaphras? 7:40 Staying Rooted: Lessons for Today 9:13 Closing Blessing
