At the dawn of the social media era, Belle Gibson became a pioneering wellness influencer - telling the world how she beat cancer with an alternative diet. Her bestselling cookbook and online app provided her success, respect, and a connection to the cancer-battling influencer she admired the most. But a curious journalist with a sick wife began asking questions that even those closest to Belle began to wonder. Was the online star faking her cancer and fooling the world? Kaitlyn Dever stars in the Netflix hit series Apple Cider Vinegar . Inspired by true events, the dramatized story follows Belle’s journey from self-styled wellness thought leader to disgraced con artist. It also explores themes of hope and acceptance - and how far we’ll go to maintain it. In this episode of You Can't Make This Up, host Rebecca Lavoie interviews executive producer Samantha Strauss. SPOILER ALERT! If you haven't watched Apple Cider Vinegar yet, make sure to add it to your watch-list before listening on. Listen to more from Netflix Podcasts .…
In today's gathering, we explored the theme "Be Fruitful Now," drawing from Mark 11, where Jesus encounters a fig tree that appears fruitful but is barren upon closer inspection. This narrative serves as a powerful metaphor for our spiritual lives, urging us to examine whether we are truly bearing fruit or merely giving the appearance of fruitfulness. Jesus' expectation of the fig tree to bear fruit, despite it not being the season, highlights God's call for us to live fruitful lives regardless of our circumstances. Our faith should be evident in our actions, not just in our appearances. We delved into the importance of producing spiritual fruit, as outlined in Galatians 5:22-23, which lists the fruits of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. These are the markers of a life rooted in Christ. The fig tree's withering after Jesus' curse serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of fruitlessness. It underscores that a lack of spiritual fruit indicates a disconnect from the life-giving source, which is God. The sermon also emphasized the necessity of remaining connected to God, the true vine, as described in John 15. Our ability to bear fruit is contingent upon our relationship with Him. Without this connection, our efforts are in vain. We are encouraged to engage in self-examination, allowing God to prune areas of our lives that hinder fruitfulness. This process, though sometimes painful, is essential for spiritual growth and effectiveness in our mission to spread the gospel. Ultimately, the call is to move beyond mere appearances and to cultivate a deep, authentic relationship with Christ that results in tangible spiritual fruit. This is not just for our benefit but for the glory of God and the expansion of His kingdom.…

God is good, and today we gather to explore a challenging yet vital topic: the decline of truth, morality, and sexuality in our culture. This message is not about condemnation but about love and truth. We are living in times reminiscent of the days of Noah and Lot, where immorality and violence were rampant. Yet, even in such times, there was a righteous remnant, and today, the Church of Jesus Christ stands as that remnant, awaiting His return. In Luke 17, Jesus speaks of the end times, drawing parallels between Noah's and Lot's days and our current era. The world then was marked by immorality and violence, much like today, with increasing intolerance and moral decline. Yet, amidst this, there remains a call for righteousness. The sudden removal of righteousness, as seen in the rapture, is a reminder of the urgency to live godly lives. The coming judgment is not just a warning but a call to ensure our hearts are right with God. We must be vigilant in three areas: truth, morality, and sexuality. The decline in these areas is evident, but we are called to stand firm on the truth of God's Word. The Bible is not to be altered to fit our ideologies; it is the divine standard by which we live. Sexuality, as designed by God, is sacred and should be honored within the bounds of marriage. The world may present various sexual identities and practices, but God's standard remains unchanged. In these end times, our response should be one of exaltation of Christ over self, submission to God's authority, acceptance of biblical moral standards, and loving others sacrificially. We are to walk by the Spirit, keeping in step with His guidance, and live by the truth of God's Word. As we navigate these challenging times, let us hold onto the joy that comes from knowing Jesus is on His throne and is coming for a church that is ready.…
Today we started a new series on the end times, we delved into the beauty and significance of Bible prophecy. The scriptures, particularly Matthew 24, remind us that we are living in prophetic times, with many signs of the end times unfolding before our eyes. The Bible's prophetic nature sets it apart, offering us a reliable source of truth about the future. Prophecy serves to warn unbelievers and comfort believers, assuring us of the truth of God's Word and the hope we have in Christ. We examined the two contrasting stories of the world: one of despair and hopelessness, and the other of redemption and restoration through Christ. The latter, God's story, is the true and beautiful narrative that offers hope and purpose. As we explored various prophecies concerning Israel, we were reminded of God's faithfulness and the imminent return of Christ. The fulfillment of these prophecies underscores the reliability of the Bible and the urgency of being prepared for Christ's return.…
