Acolyte Products VANISHED From Disney Store | Could Acolyte Vanish From Disney Plus TOO?
Last night during my Pop Culture Breakdown livestream, I was informed that all Star Wars The Acolyte products had been removed from the Disney Store online. Various of my panelists confirmed this independently, and it raises the question: if The Acolyte is this bad a failure, could it vanish from Disney Plus as well? Here's my reasoning, and here's what I've been told! #disney #starwars #theacolyte

The Call to Holiness and Righteous Living
Introduction
Good morning, congregation.
Today, we delve into a profound and challenging call from Scripture: the call to holiness and righteous living.
Our guiding verse is from 1 Peter 1:15, which says, "But as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct."
This verse is a clear and compelling directive for us as followers of Christ to live lives that reflect the holiness of God.
Understanding Holiness
Holiness is a term that can often seem daunting or unattainable.
It signifies being set apart, pure, and morally blameless.
In the Old Testament, holiness was associated with God’s nature and His separation from sin.
God is holy, and His holiness sets the standard for His people.
In 1 Peter 1:15, Peter echoes Leviticus 11:44, where God commands the Israelites to be holy because He is holy.
This commandment is not only about moral purity but also about being distinct and dedicated to God’s purposes.
The Call to Holiness
1 Peter 1:15 calls us to mirror God’s holiness in every aspect of our lives.
This call is not merely about following a set of rules but about embodying the character of God.
Let’s break down what this means for us:
1. Holiness in Thought
Our thoughts are the foundation of our actions.
Proverbs 23:7 says, "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he."
We must guard our minds and fill them with things that are pure, noble, and worthy of praise (Philippians 4:8).
This involves rejecting sinful thoughts and meditating on God’s Word.
2. Holiness in Speech
Our words have power.
James 3:10 reminds us that out of the same mouth come praise and cursing, and this should not be so.
Holiness in speech means speaking truthfully, kindly, and edifying others.
Ephesians 4:29 urges us to let no corrupt word proceed out of our mouths, but only what is good for necessary edification.
3. Holiness in Actions
Our actions should reflect our commitment to God.
Colossians 3:17 instructs us to do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
This means living out our faith in tangible ways—helping those in need, showing love and compassion, and striving for justice and righteousness in our communities.
The Role of the Holy Spirit
Living a holy life is impossible in our own strength.
We need the power of the Holy Spirit, who sanctifies us and empowers us to live according to God’s will.
Galatians 5:16 tells us to "walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh."
The Holy Spirit works in us to transform our hearts and minds, enabling us to live in a way that pleases God.
Practical Steps to Holiness
1. Daily Devotion and Prayer
Spend time each day in God’s Word and in prayer.
This strengthens our relationship with Him and keeps our minds focused on His ways.
2. Accountability
Surround yourself with fellow believers who can encourage and challenge you in your walk with Christ.
Proverbs 27:17 says, "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another."
3. Confession and Repentance
Regularly confess your sins to God and repent.
1 John 1:9 assures us that if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
4. Service and Outreach
Engage in acts of service and outreach.
Holiness is not just about personal piety but also about loving others and being the hands and feet of Jesus in the world.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the call to holiness and righteous living is a call to reflect the character of God in every aspect of our lives.
It is a call to be distinct, set apart, and dedicated to God’s purposes.
While this may seem challenging, we are not alone.
The Holy Spirit empowers us to live holy lives that honor God.
Let us commit ourselves today to pursue holiness, knowing that as we do, we reflect the holiness of our Heavenly Father and bring glory to His name. Amen.
Sermon on Hebrews 10:24: “Stirring Up One Another to Love and Good Works”
Introduction
Good morning, church! Today, we delve into a powerful exhortation found in the book of Hebrews.
In Hebrews 10:24, we read, “And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works.”
This single verse carries profound implications for how we live out our faith within the community of believers.
It challenges us to be proactive in encouraging one another toward a life that reflects Christ's love and compassion.
Context of Hebrews 10
The book of Hebrews was written to a group of Jewish Christians who were facing persecution and were tempted to revert to their old ways.
The author of Hebrews emphasizes the superiority of Christ and the new covenant over the old.
Chapter 10 particularly focuses on the sacrifice of Jesus, the confidence we have in approaching God because of His sacrifice, and the need for perseverance in faith.
Understanding Hebrews 10:24
“And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works.”
1. "Let us consider":
The phrase invites us to deliberate carefully.
This is not a casual thought but a purposeful and intentional focus on encouraging one another.
2. "How to stir up":
The term “stir up” can also be translated as “provoke” or “spur on.”
It implies an active effort to incite or motivate others.
3. "One another":
This highlights the reciprocal nature of our Christian walk.
We are not isolated individuals but part of a community.
4. "To love and good works":
These are the fruits of a life transformed by Christ.
Love is the greatest commandment, and good works are the natural outflow of a heart aligned with God's purposes.
The Call to Community
In this verse, the author of Hebrews calls believers to a communal responsibility. Our faith is personal, but it is also profoundly communal. We are called to:
1. Encourage One Another:
In a world often marked by discouragement, we are to be sources of encouragement.
Encouragement is more than just kind words; it’s about uplifting each other spiritually, emotionally, and practically.
2. Provoke to Love:
Love is the hallmark of the Christian faith.
Jesus said that by our love, people would know we are His disciples (John 13:35).
We are to encourage each other to love more deeply, sacrificially, and unconditionally
3. Motivate to Good Works:
Good works are evidence of our faith.
They are the practical outworking of love in action.
James reminds us that faith without works is dead (James 2:26).
Our good works are a testimony to the world of God's grace and goodness.
Practical Ways to Stir Up Love and Good Works
1. Be Intentional in Fellowship:
Regularly meet with fellow believers.
Whether in church, small groups, or casual gatherings, make fellowship a priority.
2. Share Life Together:
Get involved in each other’s lives.
Share joys, burdens, successes, and failures.
This builds a supportive community where love and good works can flourish.
3. Encourage through Words and Actions:
Speak words of life and encouragement.
A kind word or a thoughtful action can significantly impact someone's day and motivate them to keep going.
4. Serve Together:
Engage in acts of service as a community.
Whether it’s feeding the hungry, visiting the sick, or helping the needy, doing good works together strengthens bonds and magnifies our impact.
5. Pray for One Another:
Prayer is a powerful tool in stirring up love and good works.
Pray for each other's needs, growth, and opportunities to serve.
Conclusion
Hebrews 10:24 is a call to action.
It reminds us that our faith is not just about personal piety but about community engagement.
We are called to consider how we can actively encourage one another towards love and good works.
This requires intentionality, effort, and a heart that seeks the good of others.
As we leave today, let us commit to being catalysts of love and good works within our community.
Let us seek out opportunities to encourage, support, and serve one another.
In doing so, we will reflect the love of Christ and bring glory to God.
May the Lord bless us and give us the grace to live out this exhortation faithfully.
Amen.

Disney REBOOTING Star Wars?! Removing Sequels from CANON?
A trailer for a Star Wars series was unveiled at D23 that has a portion of former Star Wars fans uncharacteristically excited, believing this series is the first step towards rebooting Star Wars and removing the sequels from canon. I am skeptical about what this means, but it is an unexpected and intriguing development that could lead to big changes in Star Wars, or simply fizzle out as a blip on the radar. In this video, requested by a number of my viewers, I cast a fair but skeptical eye on what's coming, going over the pros and cons as I see them, but make no mistake – this is an interesting development in the train wreck that is Disney Star Wars. #disney #starwars #disneyplus
