The book of James pulls no punches 🥊 Self-righteousness hoards: pride that won’t bow, plans without God, grudges we replay, control we won’t let go, and wealth we keep for ourselves.But to return to our first love is to return to true righteousness. It starts with submission and humility, and shows up in how we live - generous with what God gives, patient in trials, faithful in prayer. He’s asking us today: will you lay it down and return to your first love? 1d

What a Word we heard 🙌 You can be in the Father’s house, but still miss the Father’s heart. Serving isn’t the same as surrender. It is surrender that leads us into right-standing with God. Seek the Kingdom, but also His righteousness. 🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more conversations.STAY CONNECTED:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tabjoyantiochFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/tabjoyantioch

You know this: what you feed grows stronger 👀 That’s how desire works. But it’s not necessarily bad… hear us out. Desire isn’t the enemy. It’s when it’s misdirected, that’s where danger lurks. Feed the flesh and it becomes lust, idols, restlessness. Feed the Spirit and your hunger for God grows deeper. Direct your desires. Point it in the direction of holy desires, and watch God change your appetite ❤️

The news shook us this week, but also woke us up. Now is not the time to let fear hold us back. Instead, let it be a call to live boldly in truth. To love truth more than comfort. To live consecrated in a world that wants compromise. To shine as light when culture embraces darkness. This is the cost of truth, but it’s also the call of every believer. Lord, give us courage to stand, even when it costs. 🔥

We were reminded today: ⚠️ LUST IS A SCAM. It baits you, promises to fulfill you, but always ends ugly. And if you think lust only applies to sexual desires, think again. Lust can be an uncontrolled desire of pleasure, possession, power or pride. 💊 The antidote? James 4 reminds us: Curbing our lustful desires begins with humility. Submit to God. Resist the devil. Draw near to Jesus and let Him cleanse your heart and transform your desires.

Here’s what makes unholy desire a trap 🪤 God gave desires to help us thrive in life, but when we chase them our own ways, it can go sideways fast. When desires are unholy, it may feel good but never lasts, backfiring every time. Looking to ditch an unholy desire? Remember - choose redirection and not suppression. Start with God’s Word 📖 Let His Word reshape you.

If you wonder… does it matter if I trust God? 🤔 The short answer’s yes. While love is where it starts with God, trust is the fuel in our walk with Him. It’s not too late to start over. Offer your trust to the trustworthy One. Begin with surrender: how can I obey God and let go of the reins?STAY CONNECTED:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tabjoyantioch Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tabjoyantioch

Today’s Word hit deep 💘 It got us thinking… we say we love God, but do we trust Him enough to obey right away? Because love without trust… - Can’t build that safe, unshakable tower - Can’t lead to deep rest or true peace If trust feels hard right now, remember: God can take your honesty. Go to Him, He doesn’t fail!

Peace built on perfect circumstances is fragile. False peace feels calm, but one crisis and it crumbles. But true peace comes from trusting God and having a relationship with Him, knowing He is in control in all the storms and seasons of life. Today, we choose His peace and experience true rest!STAY CONNECTED:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tabjoyantiochFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/tabjoyantioch

One moment of extravagant worship can shift heaven and change history. Mary broke her jar, pouring costly oil in love. The demon-oppressed man bowed in surrender and was set free. Both worshipped beyond their limits and reached for a limitless God. One extravagant act. Heaven responds with extravagance. Will you pour it all out?STAY CONNECTED:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tabjoyantiochFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/tabjoyantioch

This wasn’t the episode we planned. We thought this would just only be part 2 of Baguio mission trip recap. Instead, God began to minister. If you’ve been struggling to feel close to God, if you’ve wondered whether He can still use you, this is for you. The closer you draw to Him, the louder His heartbeat for souls becomes. He hasn’t forgotten you. He still has a purpose for your life.Got questions? DM or drop a comment below, let’s talk. 🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more conversations.

When was the last time your worship cost you something? True worship isn’t casual, it’s costly. It’s not about what’s convenient. It’s about what He’s worth. Not for our gain, but for His glory. Love moves us beyond the expected. And when we give Him our all, we step into destiny. Let your worship be wild. Costly. Real. Because He is your exceedingly great reward 🌟STAY CONNECTED:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tabjoyantiochFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/tabjoyantioch

You can be busy doing the right things… and still miss the one thing that matters most. Not all busyness = fruitfulness. You can be productive, yet disconnected. We weren’t called to strive, but to abide (John 15:5). Remain in Him, trust the pruning, and fruit will follow: peace, joy, and lasting impact.STAY CONNECTED:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tabjoyantiochFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/tabjoyantioch

If you think rest comes from free time + no responsibilities, think again. True biblical rest is a rest that permeates beyond hours you sleep. It starts from the inside out, and contains what your soul truly seeks: peace and alignment with God. Will you live on empty, or thrive on His overflow?STAY CONNECTED:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tabjoyantiochFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/tabjoyantioch

Hard times will come. Temptation will knock. But the key to standing firm? Abide in the Vine. (John 15:4) Because fruitfulness doesn’t come from striving. It comes from staying connected to the true Vine DAILY. Abide when pruning hurts. Abide through prayer. Abide in His Word. Let abiding in Him be your rhythm this week!

“I don’t need accountability.” That’s what David thought too. David was thriving, conquering, winning — until he wasn’t (2 Sam 11). This cautionary tale warns us: Accountability isn’t optional, it’s essential to a disciple’s spiritual health. Whether you call out, or are called out — will you embrace accountability?STAY CONNECTED:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tabjoyantiochFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/tabjoyantioch

Music is a gate. What you let in will shape you. Rev. @corttchavis reminded us: Music is not neutral. It’s spiritual. Science confirms it. Scripture proves it. And whatever the lyrics glorifies, that’s what you’re worshipping. Let’s stop being mindless with what we let in. Discern what we give influence to.
