Nobody’s Coming To Save You — God Sent You

from APOC Ministry · host Eric Thomas Ph.D

Your life should follow the identity you have from God—not your circumstances. Gideon knew about God, but he let problems define Him. When Gideon complained, God didn’t argue with his odds or explain the Midianites; God spoke to his identity: “Go in the strength you have.” (Judges 6) That’s the shift—stop asking your situation who you are. Let God name you, then let life follow. In this message, Eric Thomas helps you move from survival to assignment: - Word → Identity → Habits → Results (stop running the loop backwards). - Identity over insecurity: Royal, chosen, equipped (1 Peter 2:9)—before the results show up. - Power over effort: No battery, no movement. - Kingdom motive: Not “bless me” religion—“so there may be meat in My house” - You’re the answer: God isn’t sending a rescuer for your house—He’s sending you. Scriptures: Judges 6, 1 Peter 2:9, Malachi 3, Hebrews 11, Psalm 23, Romans 8. 1) Download the APOC App Messages, prayer calls, groups, giving, events—all in one place.

Whole Faith Marcus & Jessa Myer Welcome to The Whole Faith Podcast, where we go deep into the things of God. We're your hosts, Marcus and Jessa Myer - a husband-and-wife team passionate about pursuing and telling the Truth. The more we study Scripture, the more we experience the ever-growing joy and pleasure found only in Jesus. We’ve been doing ministry together for the past 15 years, and one thing we’ve seen over and over again is that so many of our brothers and sisters in Christ are desperately hungry for a deeper teaching of God’s Word. In each episode, we explore theology, doctrine, and practical wisdom that every believer should have the confidence to pursue. Join us as we uncover essential truths from Scripture and tackle difficult, sometimes controversial questions to provide you with biblical answers. Where the Enemy wants to keep the Church in a place of shallow faith and theological insecurity, our hope is that these conversations will equip you with boldness and assurance! Now, let’s grow deeper together Word Online: Series 7 - The Transfiguration & the end of the Galilean ministry Word Online There is a dramatic change in the life of Jesus as this point. He takes his disciples away for a private time together which leads to the amazing event of the Transfiguration. This is a turning point. The Galilean ministry is at an end. Jesus is going to leave Galilee and head south towards Jerusalem for the final and much shorter part of his ministry which will lead ultimately to his death and resurrection.
