- 0:01Hello. Welcome to the No God Coach
- 0:03Huddle for January 24, 2026. A
- 0:06two-minute call from God's playbook to
- 0:08know him better so we can love and obey
- 0:10him more. Let's hear today's play from
- 0:12Acts 2. Therefore, let the whole house
- 0:15of Israel know beyond doubt that God has
- 0:18made him both Lord and Messiah. This
- 0:21Yeshua whom you executed on a stake. On
- 0:24hearing this, they were stung in their
- 0:26hearts, and they said to Peter and their
- 0:28emissaries, "Brothers, what should we
- 0:30do?" Peter answered them, "turn from
- 0:32sin, return to God, and each of you be
- 0:35immersed on the authority of Yeshua, the
- 0:38Messiah, into forgiveness of your sins,
- 0:40and you'll receive the gift of the Holy
- 0:43Spirit." That question, brothers, what
- 0:45should we do is the most important
- 0:47question any man will ever ask. From
- 0:50Eden until now, our biggest problem
- 0:52hasn't been money, politics, or
- 0:54circumstances. Our biggest problem has
- 0:56been separation from God because of sin.
- 0:59In the garden, we walked with God. Then
- 1:01we chose disobedience and God drove us
- 1:04out. Ever since religion and self offer
- 1:07have tried to get back to him, but
- 1:09there's only one way, and that's Jesus.
- 1:11Jesus is the fulfillment of everything
- 1:13God promised. He's Lord and Messiah. God
- 1:16come in the flesh to die for us, rise
- 1:18for us, and bring us back to himself.
- 1:20There's no other savior for Jew or
- 1:22non-Jew, no other religion, no other
- 1:25system, no backup plan. So when the
- 1:27crowd realizes they've rejected the very
- 1:29one God sent to save them, they're cut
- 1:32to the heart. And Peter doesn't give
- 1:34them a vague spiritual answer. He gives
- 1:36them a clear one. First, turn from sin.
- 1:39That means more than feeling bad. It
- 1:41means breaking with disobedience.
- 1:42Turning from self-ruule, from secret
- 1:44sin, from the patterns that keep us from
- 1:47God. Your repentance is a U-turn.
- 1:50Second, return to God. Don't just turn
- 1:52away from something. Turn towards
- 1:54someone. Trust that God's love, mercy,
- 1:57and grace are real, fully displayed in
- 1:59Jesus at the cross. Believe that in him,
- 2:02you can be forgiven fully, finally, and
- 2:05forever. And third, be immersed in the
- 2:08name of Jesus. Baptism isn't a magic
- 2:10ritual. It's identification. It's going
- 2:13public that your old life was buried
- 2:14with Christ and your new life belongs to
- 2:16him. You're not just adding Jesus to
- 2:19your plans. You're dying to self and
- 2:21rising to follow him. Fourth, you will
- 2:24receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. God
- 2:26doesn't just forgive you and send you
- 2:28away. He comes to live in you. The Holy
- 2:30Spirit is God's seal, his guarantee that
- 2:33you belong to him. He assures you of
- 2:35God's love and moves you toward
- 2:37obedience, changing your desires from
- 2:39the inside out. So, brother, run today's
- 2:42play. Stop admiring Jesus and start
- 2:44obeying him. If you've never really
- 2:46responded to Jesus as Lord and Messiah,
- 2:49today where you are, admit your sin and
- 2:51separation from God. Call upon Jesus and
- 2:54tell him you're turning from sin and
- 2:56returning to him. Decide that your life
- 2:58now belongs to him. Then talk with a
- 3:00pastor or another believer about being
- 3:02baptized as your public declaration. If
- 3:05you already claim Christ, but you've
- 3:06been drifting, compromising, or living
- 3:08half in or half out, ask the spirit to
- 3:11show you we're resisting his lordship.
- 3:13Confess it. Make one change. Turn off
- 3:16what leads you into sin. Repair a
- 3:18relationship. Tell the truth where
- 3:19you've been lying or lead your home
- 3:21spiritually where you've been passive.
- 3:24Don't just admire Jesus from a distance.
- 3:26Don't just ask, "What should we do?" and
- 3:28then walk away. Turn from sin. Return to
- 3:31God. Identify with Jesus. Walk in the
- 3:33power of the Holy Spirit. If this huddle
- 3:35has helped you know God better so you
- 3:36can love and obey him more, then leave a
- 3:38quick review and share it with a friend
- 3:40so that other men can find their way
- 3:42into the huddle.
