When He Looks At You
God loves you because He is love, not because you are so lovely. If you believe God's goodness to you is based on your goodness or your works, then you don't understand Who God is, and you will never really understand what He's done for you that you had nothing to do with. And as a result, your falling short, and your failures, will limit you from accepting how God sees you. And that will greatly interfere with your relationship with God and you trusting Him.

Would You Trust That Guy?
A huge roadblock in trusting and believing God is people’s opinion of God! If you rightly understand the Scriptures, you find out Who God says that He is. The Bible, His Word declares Who God is. This is is so important, because there are people who think that God does certain things, when in the Bible He says that He doesn’t.

God said in Psalm 103 to not forget all His benefits. But there are things in our past that are neither worthy nor helpful in thinking about.We all have free will to think any thought we want to think.

This month’s teaching is from December 21, 2025, entitled, “Glad Tiding” (45:52)In looking at the opening verses of Judges, Chapter 6, we considered a great lesson we can apply in our lives. The same God who was there with Gideon is not only with us, but He is in us by way of His holy spirit. Ephesians 4:6 says, “One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. No wonder Romans 8:31 says, “...If God be for us, who can be against us?”You can read God’s Word and see His power and deliverance to whole nations, to cities, to groups of people, and even to individuals. You can read and remember His miracles. And you can also think back to the times that God helped you before.No matter what challenges we face, regardless of the circumstances, regardless of what kind of trouble, regardless of the facts, regardless of the odds, God is still a powerful and delivering God!The God of the Bible is still the same God today, and for we born again ones, He is our Father.Subscribe to this podcast!

SPECIAL: Teaching of the Month: October 26, 2025, “When He Comes.”
SOMETHING SPECIAL! In addition to the regular His Word podcasts, which are all under 5 minutes, His Word Podcast is now posting a “Teaching of the Month;” a full length teaching from our Westbrook Sunday morning fellowship. This month’s teaching is from October 16, 2025, entitled, “When He Comes” (41:32) Concerning the topic of death, with so many opinions, theories, suppositions, etc., they can’t all be right. Yet, when it comes to this very sensitive topic, God in His Word has spoken very clearly on the topic. He specifically said in I Thessalonians 4:13, “But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.” Our loving God and Father not only gives great detail on that subject, but plainly reveals in His Word future events that will include all of mankind, both the living and those who have died. With a right understanding of the Scriptures, all people, especially born again ones, need not be ignorant.In this teaching, we briefly considered what God’s Word reveals concerning death, as well as future events that will most surely come to pass.Share this teaching with someone – copy/paste this link; it opens on a page with an audio player: https://confidenceandjoy.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/10-25-2025-When-He-Comes.mp3 Support the show

So, let’s keep on growing in God’s Word.I encourage you to read I Thessalonians, being mindful of what it was like there when Paul came into town.
