This One Thing Podcast

ONE Verse - ONE Truth - ONE Choice" THIS ONE THING I ask of the LORD—the thing I seek most—is to live in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, delighting in the LORD’s perfections and meditating in his Temple." Psalm 27:4 Our world is in turmoil, our nation is in crisis, many of us are experiencing fear and anxiety as we face an uncertain future. We cannot control most of the circumstances that feel chaotic around us but we can choose to focus our eyes and attention on The One who holds our future. He is still sovereign and sits on the throne over all things. He sees us and He has not abandoned us. Now, more than ever, we must look to Him. He is our comfort, our Truth and our future! Join us each week as we prayerfully commit to King David's plea in Psalm 27:4 by actively seeking His presence, knowing Him intimately and meditating together on His Word. When more of Him is our "One Thing" we will find peace, hope and joy, allowing us to be His light no matter how dark it appears to be around us!

For The Joy: Hebrews 12:2 | Episode 46

December 26, 2022 • Kerri Kenyon Dern • Season 2 • Episode 46

Merry Christmas! We will resume with new episodes of "This One Thing" in the New Year. You can listen and enjoy our Holiday Replays on the website at https://www.fetterfree.org/podcast, and on Youtube at https://youtu.be/BSf-66Ry71Q.
Welcome to another episode of “This One Thing” with Kerri Kenyon Dern. This week's verse, Hebrews 12:2, is Jesus' example for us to follow when faced with the weight of pain and suffering, “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

Do you believe you can walk through suffering with joy? Do you believe it matters to Jesus? To look like Jesus requires a level of suffering, and in the midst of it, we are called to not give up, lose heart or quit. Instead, we are called to experience the tenacious and inexplicable joy He did. When we don’t understand why we have to suffer or carry a cross we can barely hold up, we must remember that our pain and suffering matter to Jesus. There is a purpose beyond our many tears, broken hearts, and weary bodies. As we keep our eyes on Jesus, we can stand in the truth that our Heavenly future with Him awaits us and we can live For the JOY of all eternity with Him!
