Have you ever been so afraid of rejection that you almost didn't show up at all? Valdemir Arnese sat in a parking lot, keys in hand, texting an excuse so he could drive away — until the people he was meeting were already at his car door, waving. What happened over the next three hours completely changed how he sees people, belonging, and community. In this message from illuminate church's Community series, Valdemir unpacks something the Bible makes clear but we rarely believe: where people gather, God shows up. Matthew 18:20 says wherever two or three come together in His name, He is there — which means people aren't the obstacle to finding peace, they might be the doorway to it. Valdemir walks through four essentials that turn surface-level connection into something that actually heals and holds. Whether community has felt painful, out of reach, or just exhausting, this message is a genuinely hopeful reset.CONNECT WITH US:→ Request Prayer: https://bit.ly/3zMyf5E→ Request Care: https://bit.ly/3fBTX5G→ Share a Testimony: https://bit.ly/3Jo7Ped→ Find Events and More: https://bit.ly/3TcrkcR→ Leave us a Review on Google: https://bit.ly/47925jP→ Plan a Visit in Person: https://bit.ly/3sfQdg7FOLLOW US:→ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/illuminatechurch→ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@illuminate_church→ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/illuminatechurchWE HELP PEOPLE FIND ABUNDANT LIFE IN JESUS!

Illuminate: Campus Church Riley Martin Your Christian Podcast at Ball State University! A 1Life Podcast 1Life Collective A monthly podcast exploring lives that illuminate each of the five callings of the church Age of the Puritans Volume 1, The by Various LibriVox This volume of The Age of the Puritans begins with William Perkin's concise summary of Christian doctrine written in response to popular misconceptions of the time and Robert Rollock's scheme for logically dividing doctrine into key topics. Rollock then explains the relationship between the written Scriptures and what he terms the "lively voice" heard in other ages, pre-empting what would later become the Quaker-Puritan debates. B.B. Warfield gives a 'best of' John Arrowsmith's Armilla Catechetica (two of Arrowsmith's sermons to the English parliament during the First English Civil War appear at the end of this collection). William Perkins illuminates the book of 1 John by arranging it as a dialogue between the church and John with Perkins supplying the questions to which John is responding. This is followed by Stephen Charnock's and John Bunyan's dying aphorisms. William Ames (the Quaker, not to be confused with the theologian of the sam Short Nonfiction Collection, Vol. 087 by Various LibriVox "Certitude is not the test of certainty." This pithy phrase is from Jurist Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr's essay on Natural Law, one of twenty nonfiction pieces chosen by their readers for inclusion in volume 087. Selections from Pascal, Josiah Royce, and C.S. Peirce also delve philosophical themes. Builders, warriors, artists, and activists, the many faces of mankind, are illuminated in selections on Ferdinand De Lesseps, Stanislaus Koniecpolski, Jan Karol Chodkiewicz, Mark Twain, Charlie Chaplin, Frederic Edwin Church, the 14th century citizens of Liège, who vanquished Sir Radus' castle, and Simon Pokagon's The Red Man's Rebuke. Major moments in U.S. history are visited in the Civil War Battle of Chickamauga and the Great Chicago Fire. An oft forgotten player in history, the mule, is not neglected, nor are the small turning points along the road of life, epitomized by a New England farm auction. For those in search of humor, there is The Senator's Offer and The Proper Way to Sit. Armchair
