🙏 Sunday Service • "Great Deception" 🙏 👉 To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give 👉 New Book: www.PastorToddBook.com 👉 Website: www.PastorTodd.org 👉 Church website: www.RRCNashville.org The concept of "Great Deception" is discussed in several places in the Bible, and it often refers to a time of widespread spiritual falsehood and deception. Below are some key Scriptures on this topic, along with commentary from various biblical scholars. 1. Matthew 24:24 (NKJV) "For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect." This verse is part of Jesus' Olivet Discourse, where He describes the signs of the end times. It warns of a time when false messiahs and false prophets will perform deceptive miracles, posing a great spiritual threat even to believers. Scholars suggest that this deception will be so convincing that it could lead astray those who are not firmly rooted in their faith. 2. 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 (NKJV) "The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason, God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness." This passage speaks of the rise of a lawless figure (often associated with the Antichrist) who deceives through supernatural signs and wonders. It emphasizes that those who reject the truth and delight in unrighteousness may be subject to a "strong delusion" as a divine judgment. Scholars differ on the exact nature of this deception, but it is seen as a consequence of rejecting God's truth. 3. 1 Timothy 4:1-2 (NKJV) "Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron." This passage warns of a time when people will depart from the faith and be led astray by deceiving spirits and demonic doctrines. It highlights the danger of hypocrisy and a conscience that is no longer sensitive to moral truths. Scholars view this as a warning against false teachings infiltrating the Church. 4. Revelation 13:13-14 (NKJV) "He performs great signs so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast." This passage refers to the false prophet and the Antichrist, who will use miraculous signs to deceive people into worshiping the beast. Scholars see this as a culmination of the great deception, where supernatural events are used to lead humanity away from true worship. 5. Revelation 20:7-8 (NKJV) "Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea." This passage speaks of Satan's final deception after being released from his prison, where he deceives the nations and gathers them for a final battle against God. Scholars see this as a manifestation of Satan's persistent efforts to lead people away from God's truth. In summary, the concept of "great deception" in the Bible generally refers to a time of widespread spiritual falsehood and deception in the end times. It includes the rise of false prophets, deceptive signs and wonders, and the rejection of God's truth. Biblical scholars may differ in their interpretations of the specific details, but these passages collectively serve as a warning to remain steadfast in faith and discerning against deception.

👉 To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give 👉 New Book: www.PastorToddBook.com 👉 Website: www.PastorTodd.org 👉 Church website: www.RRCNashville.org Today, we delve into a powerful biblical account from the book of 1 Kings, where the prophet Elijah stood against the prophets of Baal to reveal the true God. This narrative not only serves as an historical lesson but also carries profound implications for the state of the Church and the world today. Scripture Reading: 1 Kings 18:20-40 (NKJV) I. The Challenge of Compromise (1 Kings 18:21) "And Elijah came to all the people, and said, 'How long will you falter between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.' But the people answered him not a word." - Just as the people of Israel were wavering between God and Baal, many in the Church today struggle with spiritual compromise. II. The Showdown on Mount Carmel (1 Kings 18:22-24) "Then Elijah said to the people, 'I alone am left a prophet of the Lord; but Baal’s prophets are four hundred and fifty men. Therefore let them give us two bulls; and let them choose one bull for themselves, cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, but put no fire under it; and I will prepare the other bull, and lay it on the wood, but put no fire under it.'" - The Church today often finds itself in a similar situation, with false teachings and practices in abundance. III. The Power of Prayer and Faith (1 Kings 18:36-38) "Then it came to pass, at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near and said, 'Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day that You are God in Israel and I am Your servant, and that I have done all these things at Your word. Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that You are the Lord God, and that You have turned their hearts back to You.' Then the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood and the stones and the dust, and it licked up the water that was in the trench." - In the midst of compromise, Elijah's unwavering faith and prayer brought forth God's miraculous intervention. Our world and the Church need such faith and prayer today. IV. The Call to Choose (1 Kings 18:39) "Now when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said, 'The Lord, He is God! The Lord, He is God!'" - Just as the people on Mount Carmel had to choose, we must make a clear and unwavering choice to serve the one true God. The story of Elijah and the prophets of Baal reminds us that God is still calling His people to choose Him wholeheartedly and reject compromise. It's crucial for the Church and the world to turn back to the Lord in repentance and unwavering faith. As God's people, let us be the Elijahs of our time, standing for truth and righteousness, that His fire may fall and transform our lives and the world around us. Here are five additional Scriptures that complement the message about Elijah and the prophets of Baal, emphasizing the importance of unwavering faith and wholehearted devotion to God: 1. James 4:8 (NKJV) "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded." - This verse underscores the need for a single-minded devotion to God, just as Elijah called for a choice between God and Baal. 2. Matthew 6:24 (NKJV) "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon." - Jesus' words remind us of the impossibility of serving both God and worldly desires, reinforcing the theme of choosing wholehearted devotion. 3. Revelation 3:15-16 (NKJV) "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth." - These verses from Revelation highlight God's disdain for lukewarm faith and the importance of being passionately committed to Him. 4. 2 Chronicles 7:14 (NKJV) "If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." - This Scripture underscores the significance of repentance, prayer, and turning from wickedness, which aligns with the message of Elijah's time. 5. 1 Corinthians 10:21 (NKJV) "You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons." - Paul's words emphasize the incompatibility of worshiping God and embracing false gods, echoing Elijah's challenge to choose between God and Baal.

Remnant Replay 🙏 Friday Service @ The RRC • Follow the Star 🙏 👉 To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give 👉 New Book: www.PastorToddBook.com 👉 Website: www.PastorTodd.org 👉 Church website: www.RRCNashville.org Brothers and sisters, today we gather to reflect upon one of the most beloved and significant stories in the Bible—the journey of the wise men to visit the newborn Jesus. This story, found in the Gospel of Matthew, holds profound lessons for us as believers, and it reveals the depth of meaning behind the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Scripture 1: Matthew 2:1-2 "Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, 'Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.'" The Arrival of the Wise Men: The story begins with the arrival of the wise men, or Magi, from the East. They saw a star that signified the birth of a king, not just any king but the King of the Jews. Their journey is a testament to their faith and their willingness to follow the divine guidance of that star. Scripture 2: Matthew 2:3-6 "When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. They told him, 'In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet: 'And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.'" The Search for the Messiah: The Magi's inquiry led them to King Herod, who sought to eliminate any potential threat to his rule. He inquired of the chief priests and scribes who confirmed that the Messiah was to be born in Bethlehem, according to the prophecies. This demonstrates how the birth of Jesus was the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies. Scripture 3: Matthew 2:7-12 "Then Herod summoned the wise men secretly and ascertained from them what time the star had appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, 'Go and search diligently for the child, and when you have found him, bring me word, that I too may come and worship him.' After listening to the king, they went on their way. And behold, the star that they had seen when it rose went before them until it came to rest over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy." The Revelation and Worship: The Magi continued their journey, and the star led them directly to the place where Jesus lay. When they saw the child, they rejoiced with great joy. They recognized Him as the King and offered Him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh, symbolizing Jesus' royalty, divinity, and sacrificial death. Their worship teaches us the importance of recognizing and worshiping Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Significance for Believers: 1. Faith and Obedience: The Magi's journey reminds us of the importance of faith and obedience in following God's guidance, even when the path may seem uncertain. 2. Fulfillment of Prophecy: The birth of Jesus in Bethlehem fulfills the Old Testament prophecies, underscoring the divine plan and the continuity of God's promises. 3. Worship of Christ: Just as the wise men worshiped Jesus, we are called to worship and acknowledge Him as the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. 4. Seek Jesus: The story encourages us to seek Jesus in our lives, allowing Him to lead us and transform us as we follow our own "stars." 1. **The Journey of Faith and Obedience:** The Magi's journey was a remarkable act of faith and obedience. Imagine leaving behind their homes, their comforts, and embarking on a long and arduous expedition because they saw a star. Their faith in the divine message of that star is awe-inspiring. It teaches us that faith isn't merely a matter of belief; it's a call to action. In our lives, we are often presented with opportunities to follow God's guidance, even when it seems uncertain or challenging. Just as the wise men didn't waver when faced with difficulties, we too should trust and obey when God leads us on a path. 2. **Fulfillment of Prophecy:** The birth of Jesus in Bethlehem fulfills numerous Old Testament prophecies. This demonstrates the divine orchestration of events throughout history. The prophets of old spoke of the Messiah's coming, and the arrival of the wise men to worship the infant Jesus affirms the accuracy of these prophecies. It underscores that God's promises are steadfast and that He is faithful to His word. As believers, we can take comfort in knowing that God's plans will come to fruition, just as they did with the birth of Jesus. 3. **The Act of Worship:** The Magi's worship of Jesus is a profound act of homage. They brought gifts that symbolized the attributes of Christ: gold representing His royalty, frankincense signifying His divinity, and myrrh foreshadowing His sacrificial death. Their worship teaches us that Jesus is not just a historical figure; He is the King of Kings, the Son of God, and the Savior of humanity. Our worship, too, should be a sincere and sacrificial offering to Him. It's not just about attending church services, but about presenting our lives as living sacrifices, honoring Jesus in all that we do. 4. **Seeking Jesus:** The Magi's relentless pursuit of Jesus symbolizes our spiritual journey. We, too, are on a journey to seek and encounter Christ in our lives. Just as the star guided the wise men, God provides guidance and direction in our lives through His Word, prayer, and the Holy Spirit. We are called to follow our own "stars" — those divine promptings and callings that lead us closer to Jesus. This journey may not always be easy, but the reward is immeasurable: a deeper relationship with the Savior. 5. **Carrying the Light of Christ:** Finally, the story of the wise men reminds us that we are called to carry the light of Christ in our hearts and share it with the world. The star that guided the Magi is a symbol of the light of Christ, which dispels darkness and brings hope, joy, and peace. As believers, we are entrusted with the mission to share the Good News and be bearers of Christ's light to a world in need. Our lives should reflect His love and grace, drawing others to the Savior. The Magi's decision not to tell King Herod about the exact location of Jesus is a significant aspect of the biblical narrative, and several reasons contribute to their silence: 1. **Divine Warning:** After visiting Jesus and presenting their gifts, the Magi received a warning from God in a dream. In Matthew 2:12, it is written, "And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed to their own country by another way." This divine warning strongly indicated that Herod had malicious intentions toward the child, and it was crucial to protect Jesus from harm. 2. **Herod's Deception:** Herod had initially deceived the Magi by feigning interest in worshiping Jesus. In reality, he sought to find and eliminate any potential threat to his rule. The Magi may have discerned Herod's true motives and understood that disclosing Jesus' location would endanger the child's life. 3. **Respect for God's Plan:** The Magi, guided by their faith and understanding of divine signs, likely recognized the importance of God's plan in the birth of Jesus. They may have felt a deep reverence for this divine moment and the prophetic significance of the Messiah's birth. Keeping the knowledge of Jesus' whereabouts secret could have been a way of respecting God's unfolding plan for salvation. 4. **Protection of the Child:** Above all, the Magi's decision not to reveal Jesus' location was an act of protection. They understood that Jesus was vulnerable as an infant, and their silence ensured His safety from Herod's nefarious intentions. By obeying the divine warning and taking a different route home, they contributed to preserving the life of the Messiah. In essence, the Magi's choice to keep silent about Jesus to Herod was a combination of divine guidance, discernment of Herod's true intentions, and a deep respect for the divine plan of salvation. It highlights their faith, obedience to God's leading, and their commitment to safeguarding the life of the child who would become the Savior of the world. The gifts that the wise men (Magi) brought to the infant Jesus—gold, frankincense, and myrrh—are laden with profound symbolic significance, each revealing a deeper aspect of Jesus' identity and mission, as well as providing valuable lessons for believers. 1. **Gold: A Symbol of Royalty and Kingship:** - The gift of gold symbolizes Jesus' royal identity as the King of Kings and the Son of God. It acknowledges His authority and sovereignty over all creation. - Significantly, the wise men recognized that Jesus was not merely a human baby but a divine King. This acknowledgment challenges us to honor Jesus as the ultimate authority in our lives. We should submit to His lordship and rule, recognizing that He is the source of true power and leadership. 2. **Frankincense: A Symbol of Divinity and Worship:** - Frankincense is a fragrant resin used in religious ceremonies and symbolizes the divine nature of Jesus. It was commonly used in the worship of God in the Old Testament. - The gift of frankincense underscores the truth that Jesus is not just a man but also God incarnate. He is Emmanuel, "God with us." This reminds us to worship Jesus not only for His earthly teachings and miracles but for His divine nature. He is worthy of our adoration and praise as the Son of God. 3. **Myrrh: A Symbol of Sacrifice and Suffering:** - Myrrh was an aromatic resin used in embalming and had associations with death and suffering. It is a prophetic gift, foreshadowing Jesus' sacrificial death on the cross. - The inclusion of myrrh in the gifts signifies that Jesus came not only to reign as King and reveal His divinity but also to offer Himself as a sacrifice for the redemption of humanity. This anticipates His role as the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. - Myrrh serves as a reminder that the path of discipleship may involve sacrifice and suffering. Just as Jesus endured the cross for our salvation, we are called to take up our own crosses and follow Him, even in the face of challenges and trials. The significance of these gifts lies in their profound representation of Jesus' identity and mission. They remind us that Jesus is the King of divine authority, the God worthy of worship, and the Savior who suffered for our sins. As believers, we are called to respond to these truths: - We should acknowledge Jesus as our King and submit to His lordship. - We should worship Jesus as the divine Son of God, recognizing His unique and unmatched position. - We should embrace the sacrificial aspect of His mission and be willing to take up our crosses, following His example of selflessness and love. In essence, the gifts of the Magi not only honor the newborn Jesus but also provide us with a blueprint for our relationship with Him. They invite us to recognize His multifaceted role in our lives and respond with reverence, adoration, and a willingness to follow Him wholeheartedly. In the journey of the wise men, we find a powerful reminder of the true meaning of Christmas. It's not just about gifts, decorations, or festivities, but about recognizing and worshiping Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord. Like the Magi, let us follow the star, seek Him diligently, and offer our lives as a gift of worship to the one who came to bring us salvation and eternal life. May we carry the light of Christ in our hearts and share it with the world, for He is the true Light that has come into the world to dispel darkness and bring hope, joy, and peace. Amen.

🙏 Sunday Service • "The Hidden Meaning of Christmas" 🙏 👉 To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give 👉 New Book: www.PastorToddBook.com 👉 Website: www.PastorTodd.org 👉 Church website: www.RRCNashville.org As we gather today to celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, let us delve into the deeper, often overlooked aspects of this joyous season. Christmas is more than just festive decorations, gifts, and merriment. It is a time when we are reminded of the profound importance of being filled with the Holy Spirit, especially in these challenging and late hours of human history. 1. Luke 1:35 - "And the angel answered and said to her, 'The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.'" 2. John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." 3. Galatians 4:4-5 - "But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons." 4. Isaiah 7:14 - "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel." 5. Matthew 1:23 - "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which is translated, "God with us." 6. John 14:26 - "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you." 7. Ephesians 5:18 - "And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit." As we celebrate the birth of our Savior, let us remember that Christmas is not just a historical event but a reminder of the ongoing presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives. May we be filled with His power, find hope in His presence, and continue pressing ahead in Christ, bringing His light to a world in need. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen. 🙏

By obeying the divine warning and taking a different route home, they contributed to preserving the life of the Messiah. In essence, the Magi's choice to keep silent about Jesus to Herod was a combination of divine guidance, discernment of Herod's true intentions, and a deep respect for the divine plan of salvation. It highlights their faith, obedience to God's leading, and their commitment to safeguarding the life of the child who would become the Savior of the world. The gifts that the wise men (Magi) brought to the infant Jesus—gold, frankincense, and myrrh—are laden with profound symbolic significance, each revealing a deeper aspect of Jesus' identity and mission, as well as providing valuable lessons for believers. 1. **Gold: A Symbol of Royalty and Kingship:** - The gift of gold symbolizes Jesus' royal identity as the King of Kings and the Son of God. It acknowledges His authority and sovereignty over all creation. - Significantly, the wise men recognized that Jesus was not merely a human baby but a divine King. This acknowledgment challenges us to honor Jesus as the ultimate authority in our lives. We should submit to His lordship and rule, recognizing that He is the source of true power and leadership. 2. **Frankincense: A Symbol of Divinity and Worship:** - Frankincense is a fragrant resin used in religious ceremonies and symbolizes the divine nature of Jesus. It was commonly used in the worship of God in the Old Testament. - The gift of frankincense underscores the truth that Jesus is not just a man but also God incarnate. He is Emmanuel, "God with us." This reminds us to worship Jesus not only for His earthly teachings and miracles but for His divine nature. He is worthy of our adoration and praise as the Son of God. 3. **Myrrh: A Symbol of Sacrifice and Suffering:** - Myrrh was an aromatic resin used in embalming and had associations with death and suffering. It is a prophetic gift, foreshadowing Jesus' sacrificial death on the cross. - The inclusion of myrrh in the gifts signifies that Jesus came not only to reign as King and reveal His divinity but also to offer Himself as a sacrifice for the redemption of humanity. This anticipates His role as the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. - Myrrh serves as a reminder that the path of discipleship may involve sacrifice and suffering. Just as Jesus endured the cross for our salvation, we are called to take up our own crosses and follow Him, even in the face of challenges and trials. The significance of these gifts lies in their profound representation of Jesus' identity and mission. They remind us that Jesus is the King of divine authority, the God worthy of worship, and the Savior who suffered for our sins. As believers, we are called to respond to these truths: - We should acknowledge Jesus as our King and submit to His lordship. - We should worship Jesus as the divine Son of God, recognizing His unique and unmatched position. - We should embrace the sacrificial aspect of His mission and be willing to take up our crosses, following His example of selflessness and love. In essence, the gifts of the Magi not only honor the newborn Jesus but also provide us with a blueprint for our relationship with Him. They invite us to recognize His multifaceted role in our lives and respond with reverence, adoration, and a willingness to follow Him wholeheartedly. In the journey of the wise men, we find a powerful reminder of the true meaning of Christmas. It's not just about gifts, decorations, or festivities, but about recognizing and worshiping Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord. Like the Magi, let us follow the star, seek Him diligently, and offer our lives as a gift of worship to the one who came to bring us salvation and eternal life. May we carry the light of Christ in our hearts and share it with the world, for He is the true Light that has come into the world to dispel darkness and bring hope, joy, and peace. Amen.

Todd Coconato 🎤 Radio Show • Is Jesus God? 🙏 👉 To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give 👉 New Book: www.PastorToddBook.com 👉 Website: www.PastorTodd.org 👉 Church website: www.RRCNashville.org Question: Is Jesus God? The question of whether Jesus is God is a theological one that has been a topic of discussion and debate among Christians for centuries. Different Christian denominations and theological perspectives have varying interpretations on how to answer this question. Jesus is both fully divine and fully human, and He is considered one of the persons of the one God or “God-head”. Key passages in the Bible that are often cited in support of Jesus' divinity include: 1. John 1:1-14** - This passage speaks of the Word (Jesus) being with God and being God, and that the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. Jesus is both the Word and God. 2. John 10:30** - Jesus says, "I and My Father are one," which we interpret as a statement of His divinity. Again, One God. Not separate Gods. Part of the triune God. 3. Colossians 2:9** - "For in Him [Jesus] dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily." 4. Philippians 2:6** - Describes Jesus as being in the form of God. Yes, Jesus is God! He was fully man, and yet fully God! In Greek, the word "Logos" (Λόγος) has various meanings and can be translated in several ways depending on the context. Some of the common translations and meanings of "Logos" include: Logos = “Word” One of the most well-known translations of "Logos" is "Word." This is often used in theological contexts, especially in the Gospel of John, where Jesus is referred to as the "Word" (John 1:1-14), emphasizing His divine nature and role in creation. "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one!" —Deuteronomy 6:4-15 This verse is known as the Shema and is a central declaration of the Jewish faith, emphasizing the monotheistic nature of God. It is recited as a part of daily Jewish prayer and serves as a statement of faith in Judaism.

Trust in God's Presence and Power Isaiah 41:10 - "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." In times of uncertainty, we often find ourselves fearful and anxious. However, God's Word reminds us not to be afraid. He is with us, and His presence brings comfort and strength. Trusting in God's power means acknowledging that He is in control, even when the world seems chaotic. Our faith in Him should outweigh our fear of circumstances. 2. Finding Refuge and Strength in God Psalm 46:1 - "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." God is not distant, but a "very present help" in times of trouble. He is our refuge, a safe place where we can find shelter from life's storms. When we feel overwhelmed, we must turn to Him in prayer and seek His strength. In Him, we discover the resilience to face any challenge that comes our way. 3. Recognizing the Signs of the Times Matthew 24:6-7 - "And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom." These verses remind us that as believers, we should be aware of the signs of the times. While we should not be consumed by fear, we should be discerning and watchful. Understanding the state of the world allows us to be better prepared and engaged in God's work in these tumultuous times. 4. Trusting in God's Guidance Proverbs 3:5-6 - "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." Our wisdom is limited, but God's wisdom is boundless. Trusting in Him means surrendering our own understanding and relying on His guidance. When we acknowledge Him in all our ways, we invite His direction into our lives. In uncertain times, seek God's wisdom through prayer and His Word. 5. Finding Joy in Trials James 1:2-4 - "My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing." Trials can be seen as opportunities for spiritual growth. Though they may be difficult, we are encouraged to find joy in them. Trials refine our faith, producing patience and perseverance. In the end, they make us more complete and mature in our relationship with God. 6. Surrendering Our Cares to God 1 Peter 5:7 - "Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you." We are not meant to carry the weight of our worries alone. Instead, we should cast our cares upon the Lord, knowing that He cares deeply for us. Through prayer, we release our anxieties and concerns into His capable hands, finding peace and rest in His care. 7. God's Promise of Protection Isaiah 43:2 - "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you." God promises His protection during life's trials. Just as He was with the Israelites through the Red Sea and the fiery furnace, He will be with us. Even in the midst of adversity, His presence ensures our safety and preservation. 8. Dwelling in God's Secret Place Psalm 91:1-2 - "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, 'He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust.'" This secret place signifies an intimate and close relationship with God. As we dwell in His presence, we find refuge and shelter under His protective wing. It is a place of unwavering trust, where we declare, "He is my refuge and my fortress." In times of turmoil, let us retreat to this secret place through prayer and meditation on God's Word. 9. The Spirit of Power, Love, and a Sound Mind 2 Timothy 1:7 - "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." Fear is not from God. Instead, He has given us a spirit of power, love, and a sound mind. In times of uncertainty, we can tap into this divine spirit, finding the strength to face adversity, the love to show compassion to others, and the clarity of mind to make wise decisions. 10. God's Sovereign Plan Romans 8:28 - "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." Ultimately, we can take solace in the knowledge that God's plan is sovereign. Even in the midst of storms, He works all things together for the good of those who love Him. As believers, we are called according to His purpose, and in our obedience, we can trust that He is orchestrating events for His glory and our benefit. In conclusion, dear brothers and sisters, as we prepare our hearts and minds for the storms that may come, let us remember these fundamental truths from God's Word. Trust in God's presence and power, find refuge and strength in Him, remain watchful, seek His guidance, find joy in trials, surrender your cares, rely on His protection, dwell in His secret place, embrace His spirit, and trust in His sovereign plan. May the Lord bless you and keep you, providing the peace and strength you need to face whatever challenges lie ahead. Let us stand firm in our faith, being beacons of hope and light to a world in need, all while placing our unwavering trust in Jesus Christ, our Rock and Redeemer. Amen.

Remnant Replay 🙏 Friday Service @ The RRC • Is This Person A Christian? 🙏 👉 To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give 👉 New Book: www.PastorToddBook.com 👉 Website: www.PastorTodd.org 👉 Church website: www.RRCNashville.org There are several ways that God has given us to know if someone is truly in Christ. If we follow what the scripture says, we can easily identify a fellow Christian. There are many who claim Christ, but who will be told, “depart from me, I never knew you” on that faithful day. First and foremost, someone has to confess with their mouth and believe in their heart that Jesus is Lord of their life and of all things. There is only one way to the Father and that is through the Son. We must also use discernment and test each spirit. 1 John 4 says this: Test the Spirits - “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out.” A Christian lives a lifestyle of repentance and when we miss it, we are convicted by the Holy Spirit and repent. We confess our sins to one another and turn from them. Here are a few of the main ways to know if someone is a Christian. 1. The are known by there fruit. The fruit of the Spirit is: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, Self-control. If someone exudes these and makes the daily effort to die to flesh and follow the ways of Jesus Christ, that is one way to tell. If they continually exude the anti-fruit than they don’t have good fruit. What might be considered an "antifruit," would be actions or behaviors that go against these virtues, such as the acts of the sinful nature mentioned in the same chapter of Galatians. 2. Known by our love. John 13:34-35 says: “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” If someone is unloving and unkind, they are ungodly. It’s very clear about this. 3. A Christian follows the commandments of Jesus Christ and His Word. In John 14:15-31st says thus: “If you love me, you will obey my commandments. I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, who will stay with you forever.” 4. If someone is in Christ, they have repented of past sin and unrighteousness and turned away from it. 2 CORINTHIANS 5:17 says this: “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things have become new.” 5. They are not someone who gossips, causes division, seeks to malign or destroy someone else. They are not self seeking, manipulative, haughty, mean-spirited, jealous, narcissistic, controlling, or anything close to these types of behaviors. The Bible addresses the issue of causing division in several places, emphasizing the importance of unity and harmony within the Christian community and Body of Christ. Here are some key points: 1. **Romans 16:17-18**: Apostle Paul warns the believers to "watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned." He advises them to keep away from such people, describing them as serving their own appetites and deceiving the naive with smooth talk and flattery. 2. **1 Corinthians 1:10-13**: Paul appeals for unity in the church, urging the Corinthians to agree with one another and not to be divided. He emphasizes the importance of being perfectly united in mind and thought, pointing out the folly of following different leaders in a divisive manner. 3. **Titus 3:10-11**: Paul advises Titus to warn a divisive person once, then twice, and after that to have nothing to do with them. He explains that such a person is warped and sinful and self-condemned. 4. **James 3:14-16**: James speaks about the dangers of envy and selfish ambition, noting that where they exist, there is disorder and every evil practice. This suggests that selfish or envious motives often lead to division and conflict. 5. **Proverbs 6:16-19**: This passage lists things the Lord hates, and among them is "a person who stirs up conflict in the Body”. Divisiveness, especially when it stems from self-interest, pride, or false teachings, is viewed as contrary to the spirit of Christian fellowship and love. These are some very important elements of determining if someone is a Christian or not. The types of vicious online attacks on believers and constant vitriol is a sign of brokenness and misunderstanding of what it means to be a Christian. There should always be an attempt to find a place of agreement and/or even love and blessing eachother rather than looking like crazy people online as the world is watching. This doesn’t mean we ever compromise or accept sin, nor cave to it. Just because we are called to love each other, doesn’t mean we have to hang out or be friends with everyone. God knew that Christians would argue about their interpretations of Scripture. Therefore, He had Paul write this to Timothy: “Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen” (2 Tim. 2:14 NIV). Can we please adhere to these scriptures and uphold the standard of God’s Word? I believe this will be a game changer if we do this! Philippians 4:8 says this: “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” A Christian is commissioned to be a soul winner. We should all care about souls and make soul winning a priority. "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age" (Matthew 28:19-20).

This suggests that selfish or envious motives often lead to division and conflict. 5. **Proverbs 6:16-19**: This passage lists things the Lord hates, and among them is "a person who stirs up conflict in the Body”. Divisiveness, especially when it stems from self-interest, pride, or false teachings, is viewed as contrary to the spirit of Christian fellowship and love. These are some very important elements of determining if someone is a Christian or not. The types of vicious online attacks on believers and constant vitriol is a sign of brokenness and misunderstanding of what it means to be a Christian. There should always be an attempt to find a place of agreement and/or even love and blessing eachother rather than looking like crazy people online as the world is watching. This doesn’t mean we ever compromise or accept sin, nor cave to it. Just because we are called to love each other, doesn’t mean we have to hang out or be friends with everyone. God knew that Christians would argue about their interpretations of Scripture. Therefore, He had Paul write this to Timothy: “Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen” (2 Tim. 2:14 NIV). Can we please adhere to these scriptures and uphold the standard of God’s Word? I believe this will be a game changer if we do this! Philippians 4:8 says this: “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” A Christian is commissioned to be a soul winner. We should all care about souls and make soul winning a priority. "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age" (Matthew 28:19-20).

He appears all over the media and he's he's the founder of Remnant News, which is just fascinating to me. It's a Christian news publication, which you should be reading. I would suggest going there daily because you're certainly not getting the news from the mainstream media. Should we stay out of politics? Absolutely not. Christians should be influencing politics. It certainly did at the founding of the nation.
