These are the words of the Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel, the founder of the Nobel Peace Prize, upon reading his own obituary in a French newspaper.

It's a problem in individual lives. It's a problem in the life of a church.

Today we'll see that humility is a process that comes about through a proper understanding of our relationship to authority, in not being wrongly proud or pretentious, and in stopping the noise of things that continually distract us from being quiet before the Lord. II Chronicles 7:14 ]]> Wed, 02 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Hope_For_Today/?bcd=12/1/2009 "If my people, who are called by name 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."

The dictionary defines it as "inventing plausible explanations for acts, or opinions, that are actually based on other causes." On today's program, Riverside Leadership Pastor Dennis Blythe continues his current message by looking at the ways we can rationalize sexual temptation and ultimately, sexual immorality. But, more importantly, Dennis examines King David's experience of genuine confession, repentance, and God's forgiveness; an experience that awaits any and all who have fallen into the trap of sexual immorality. II Samuel 11:1-5 ]]> Thu, 26 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Hope_For_Today/?bcd=11/25/2009 Hope for Today, Pastor Dennis Blythe looks at this, possibly the most difficult of our sin struggles; the sin of sexual immorality.

Just like the strange and slimy matter in the movie, sin seems to become part of us, and cannot be easily removed. In fact, every believer's lament is drawn from today's text, when Paul says, "I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate."

Teaching pastor Jim Shaddix asks the question, "How do we measure this spiritual transformation?". Please join us as he specifically references Ephesians 4:13 to answer this question. Ephesians 4:1-16 ]]> Wed, 18 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Hope_For_Today/?bcd=11/17/2009 Hope For Today, teaching pastor Jim Shaddix of the Riverside Baptist Church in Denver, begins the final message in his series entitled "Who Me...A Priest?". Again, the intent of this series is to help us all understand the service we are called to as the redeemed in Christ.

On today's broadcast, Pastor Shaddix begins the message "He Is Enough for Our Pleasure". We live in a culture that lives for the "quick fix".

Today, Jim speaks to both women and men regarding the biblical mandate concerning submission. While this topic can draw a lot of contemporary fire, Jim earnestly seeks to deepen our understanding of the larger reason for, and the bigger picture of submission. Eph 5:22-33 ]]> Thu, 06 Aug 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Hope_For_Today/?bcd=8/5/2009 only from a contemporary, "special interest" point of view. We must also understand the biblical and historical component of marriage that firmly links it to the gospel.

In message number one of this series, Jim goes to great lengths to deepen that perspective, and to help us understand the biblical and spiritual significance of marriage; that is, the role of marriage in the preservation of the gospel. Join us today as Jim references Ephesians chapters 3 and 5 as the basis for the message "God's Video of Christ and His Church".

Today we'll see that humility is a process that comes about through a proper understanding of our relationship to authority, in not being wrongly proud or pretentious, and in stopping the noise of things that continually distract us from being quiet before the Lord. II Chron 7:14 ]]> Tue, 14 Jul 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Hope_For_Today/?bcd=7/13/2009 "If my people, who are called by my name 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."

The budgets of not all, but many churches are choked with things that can actually prevent those churches from fulfilling their Great Commission work.

We all set goals for ourselves. But, as most of us have found out, there's no limit to the number of things that can get in the way of achieving those goals. In the second chapter of 2nd Timothy, Paul's counsel to Timothy was to endure these pitfalls through self-denial, discipline, and diligence. Using military, athletic, and agricultural metaphors, Paul illustrates the worthiness in keeping our focus where it belongs...on Jesus Christ.

On Hope For Today, Riverside teaching pastor Jim Shaddix, concludes the message "Multiplying the Ministry", and underscores the importance of not only conveying the right doctrine and theology, but also conveying it to those who have been proven trustworthy. II Timothy 1:15 ]]> Tue, 21 Apr 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Hope_For_Today/?bcd=4/20/2009 "Multiplying the Ministry".

What is the connection between our lives today, and what we celebrate on Easter Sunday? Yes! We are celebrating Christ's resurrection and victory over death.
