The One Thing That's Needful

In today’s episode, Dr. Siohvaughn Funches finishes this series of “No More Condemnation.” Dr. Funches first recaps the last two episodes and she invites you to go back and hear them if you have not heard them already, as a foundation for today’s message. Beginning with John 3:16–17, Dr. Funches shows that it was God’s unconditional love that sent Jesus to give us everlasting life. The greatest demonstration of God’s love is giving us Jesus. Dr. Funches reminds us that Adam and Eve hid from God but God came and found them. God sent the fish to swallow Jonah and hold him for three days.   For the believer — for the born again Christian, there is no more condemnation for you. Dr. Funches explains in the Word that the Law is obsolete; that condemnation comes by the Law, and we are no longer under the Law so we are no longer under condemnation. God will remember our lawless deeds no more.   As you go through the Bible, Dr. Funches invites you to find scriptures that talk about the righteous, and highlight those or mark them for reference. Please listen in.   KEY BIBLE VERSES [2:47] John 3:16–17, NKJV 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. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. [13:08] Romans 8:1, NKJV 1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. There is therefore now no condemnation. [13:49] Matthew 5:17, NKJV 17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.” [13:53] Hebrews 8:13, NKJV 13 In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away. [18:14] Hebrews 10:9, NKJV 9 Then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second. [21:26] Hebrews 10:16–17, NKJV 16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,” 17 then He adds, “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” [25:59] Matthew 5:17, NKJV 17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.” [26:28] Romans 10:4, NKJV 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. [31:40] Colossians 2:14, NKJV 14 Having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.   MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Please visit DrFunches.com for books, blogs and more helpful resources from Dr. Funches and for ways to get involved with this ministry, A Woman’s Worth Foundation.

  In today’s episode, Dr. Siohvaughn Funches continues this series and dives deeper into the Word, continuing on the topic of “No More Condemnation.” Dr. Funches first recaps last week’s message that for the New Covenant believer, there is no more condemnation. Dr. Funches reviews John 3:16–17 and ties it to the account of Adam and Eve. Dr. Funches invites the listener to review the message from last week to learn more about the sacrifice Jesus made for the remission of sins.   Dr. Funches shows in the Word of God the Law concerning leprosy and the mercy Jesus showed in cleansing the leper. Dr. Funches compares the leper asking for a blessing in the midst of breaking the Law to our own condition. She also examines through the Word the law concerning adultery and the way Jesus treated the woman caught in adultery. Dr. Funches explains that adultery represents all sin. The Lord Jesus does not condemn the born again child of God.   Please listen as Dr. Funches dives deeper into the blessings of having no more condemnation after getting to know God through His Word.   KEY BIBLE VERSES [3:51] John 3:16–17, NKJV 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. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. [14:39] Leviticus 13:1–3, NKJV 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: 2 “When a man has on the skin of his body a swelling, a scab, or a bright spot, and it becomes on the skin of his body like a leprous sore, then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons the priests. 3 The priest shall examine the sore on the skin of the body; and if the hair on the sore has turned white, and the sore appears to be deeper than the skin of his body, it is a leprous sore. Then the priest shall examine him, and pronounce him unclean.” [16:01] Numbers 5:2, NKJV 2 “Command the children of Israel that they put out of the camp every leper, everyone who has a discharge, and whoever becomes defiled by a corpse. “ [17:19] Luke 5:12, NKJV 12 And it happened when He was in a certain city, that behold, a man who was full of leprosy saw Jesus; and he fell on his face and implored Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” 13 Then He put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately the leprosy left him. [22:57] Jeremiah 2, 3 (full chapters) [24:18] Exodus 20:14, NKJV 14 “You shall not commit adultery.” [24:49] Leviticus 20:10, NKJV 10 ‘The man who commits adultery with another man’s wife, he who commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress, shall surely be put to death.” [25:41] John 8:1–12, NKJV 1 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 Now early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him; and He sat down and taught them. 3 Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst, 4 they said to Him, “Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now Moses, in the law, commanded us that such should be stoned. But what do You say?” 6 This they said, testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear. 7 So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” 8 And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. 9 Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10 When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?” 11 She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.” 12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” [31:26] Psalm 36:9, NKJV 9 For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light.   MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Please visit DrFunches.com for books, blogs and more helpful resources from Dr. Funches and for ways to get involved with this ministry, A Woman’s Worth Foundation.

In today’s episode, Dr. Siohvaughn Funches continues this series and delves into the topic of No More Condemnation. Dr. Funches stresses the importance of seeing this truth in the Word of God and of letting God establish it and settle it in our hearts. We have been made righteous by the blood of Jesus. God does not condemn us and we should not condemn ourselves. Dr. Funches shows in the Word of God that it was God’s idea to send Jesus. God loved us before Jesus went to the cross. God’s love came first. It is unconditional. God is love, no matter what we do or don’t do. God sent Jesus to redeem us from sin, once and for all. God says He will remember lawless deeds no more. As we learned in the previous weeks, as New Covenant believers, we are no longer living under the law and are no longer under the condemnation of the law. Dr. Funches reviews the account of the woman with an issue of blood to illustrate the mercy and grace that Jesus showed to her by healing her when she demonstrated her faith in Him. Please listen as Dr. Funches examines the blessings of no more condemnation after getting to know God through His Word.

In today’s episode, Dr. Siohvaughn Funches continues this series and delves into trusting God. Dr. Funches ties this into the message of the last episode, on the benefits and blessings of knowing God. Before you can trust God, you have to know God. This episode takes it a bit further to look at the benefits and blessings of trusting God. Dr. Funches compares our lives as believers to the readers of a book that God has authored.   Dr. Funches talks about being broken and the difficulty of growing trust by sharing stories of her own life and how God blessed her. Dr. Funches looks at selected verses and examples of Esther, Noah, and Joseph in the scriptures, who received great blessings through their trust in God.   Please listen as Dr. Funches examines the benefits and blessings of trusting God after getting to know God through His Word.   KEY BIBLE VERSES [9:45] Psalms 9:10, NKJV 10 And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You. [11:56] Romans 10:11, NLT 11 As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.” [13:07] Psalms 25:3, NLT 3 No one who trusts in you will ever be disgraced, but disgrace comes to those who try to deceive others. [13:57] Isaiah 26:3, NKJV 3 You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You. [22:05] Esther (full book) [30:09] Genesis 6–10, (full chapters; Noah) [35:39] Genesis 37, 39–44 (full chapters, Joseph)   MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE The True Story for God’s Glory: the Life of Siohvaughn L.

In today’s episode, Dr. Siohvaughn Funches begins a new series and delves into the benefits and blessings of knowing God. Dr. Funches picks up where she left off in the last episode, recapping a bit from last week and then diving deeper into these truths. To know God is to know His Word. The benefits and blessings of knowing God are the benefits and blessings of knowing Jesus because Jesus is the Word. Dr. Funches encourages you to listen to the messages from the previous weeks. Dr. Funches says God is using those messages to teach us how to inherit our inheritance.   When God blesses one, He blesses all through that gift. Others also need to see your sign and your miracle. It is God’s will to teach us all these things. Now is the time to receive those benefits and blessings by faith in the Living God who has done it all for you, already. We don’t want to delay our destiny.   God says to be anxious for nothing. Dr. Funches explains Psalm 1:1–3 to apply it to New Covenant believers, contrasting prosperity in God against the greed for money. Dr. Funches covers the connections between knowing God and Jesus, knowing the Word and the truth, and being free. We learn in 1 Samuel 1 that God answers our desires and in John 15:5,7 that those who abide in the Word, Jesus, bear much fruit and they will have the desires they ask of Him.   Please listen as Dr. Funches examines the benefits and blessings of knowing God through His Word.   KEY BIBLE VERSES [2:29] John 1:1, NKJV 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [2:35] John 1:14, NKJV 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. [8:35] Proverbs 9:10, NKJV 10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. [12:26] Psalm 1:1–3, NKJV 1 Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night. 3 He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper. [22:13] John 8:32, NKJV 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. [25:49] John 17:17, NKJV 17 Sanctify them in the truth: thy word is truth. [26:03] Psalm 119:130, NKJV 130 The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple. [26:55] Psalm 119:99, NKJV 99 I have more understanding than all my teachers, For Your testimonies are my meditation. [27:32] Psalm 37:4, NKJV 4 Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. [28:23] 1 Samuel 1, NKJV (full chapter) [32:00] John 15:5, NKJV 5 I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. [33:15] John 15:7, NKJV 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.   MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Please visit DrFunches.com for books, blogs and more helpful resources from Dr. Funches and for ways to get involved with this ministry, A Woman’s Worth Foundation.
