Have you every done something to bless someone and never received thanks for it? It is difficult. It makes us search our motives. This happened to Christ as He was traveling to Jerusalem from Galilee. He paused to compassionately heal ten lepers from their humanly, incurable disease. Even though ten were healed, only one returned to give Christ the glory and gratitude. Let’s consider this narrative and determine to return and give God the glory He deserves for specific blessings that He gives to us. Thanks for joining us for this episode!

For sixteen years, idolatry and wickedness increased all across Jerusalem and the kingdom of Judah during the reign of King Ahaz. Places of worship to Canaanite and Assyrians gods were erected throughout the city. The temple of the Lord God was desecrated with uncleanness, the vessels were cut up, and its doors were closed. Out of the midst of this intense spiritual darkness, God raised up King Hezekiah. Though he was the son of Ahaz, he had a heart to obey God and sought to call the whole country back to holy living before the Lord. Let’s consider this narrative and discover the importance of personal holiness before our God.Thanks for joining us for this episode!

During the final week of Christ’s ministry before the crucifixion, He was traveling from Bethany to Bethany with his Disciples. He was hungry and spotted a fig tree. From a distance it looked like it should have figs, but when Jesus got closer, it was barren. It had leaves, but no figs. He cursed it.  It was the sad picture of a fruitless nation that had all the blessings of God, but provides no life-giving blessings to others.  As they were leaving the city of Jerusalem the next morning, Peter noticed that the cursed fig tree was completely withered. When he asked Christ about it, He gave a simple lesson. Thanks for joining us for this episode! Please take a moment to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Have you ever felt surrounded by a threat that seemed impossible to escape? One that produced deep fear and anxiety in your heart. This was the case for the servant of Elisha during a particularly unsettled time in Israel’s history. Raids and battles were the common experience. Only this time, the target was not land or possession, but the capture of the prophet of God. Let’s consider this vivid account and learn together how the awareness of God’s presence changes everything.  Thanks for joining us for this episode!

In a world full of talkers, God calls His people to be doers. The Lord's command, "This do in remembrance of me," is more than a tradition—it is a call to intentional obedience and heartfelt worship. This message explores the biblical importance of remembering Christ's broken body and shed blood through the Lord's Supper, while warning of the spiritual danger of forgetting God's grace. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 11, Jeremiah 2, 2 Peter 1, and other key passages, it highlights how neglecting to remember Christ leads to spiritual drift, while intentionally obeying His command strengthens faith and deepens devotion. Discover why every believer and every church has the responsibility to actively remember the Savior and keep the cross at the center of the Christian life.Thanks for joining us for this episode!

Can you think of a time when you knew you needed to speak up for Jesus Christ, but felt so much fear that you did not act? You are not alone! Throughout history, God’s people have faced this exact scenario time and time again. We see this vividly demonstrated in one of the most famous Biblical narratives—David and Goliath. This morning we will consider this event and learn lessons that will help us to live courageously for Jesus Christ in our generation.

Coming to the Lord’s Table “...this do ye...” (1 Corinthians 11:25) Coming to the Lord’s Table is a privilege purchased for us at the cross of Calvary. This is a privilege afforded only to those who know Christ as Savior. Coming to the Lord’s Table is a joy as we rejoice in the relationship which we have with God through Christ. Coming to the Lord’s Table is an opportunity to offer up to God an offering of praise and thanksgiving. Coming to the Lord’s Table is an obligation. Some have the idea that the choice is theirs as to whether they will participate. It is not! We are commanded to come. Some would excuse themselves for absenting the Lord’s Table because there is sin in their lives. While it is most unwise and unhealthy to remember the sacrifice for sin with unconfessed sin, the obligation remains. The answer is to deal with the sin which hinders and then come to God’s Table in forgiveness and obedience. To fail to come is to disobey. It is to dishonor the Lord who died that we may come Meditation taken from Take and Eat. by Milton Jones. (n.d.).

From the moment sinned entered into the world, suffering, pain and loss became a very real part of life. No doubt you have faced seasons of pain when you felt like you were going to be crushed under it’s weight. In those moments, true comfort is both needed and long for. We have wonderful promises and examples throughout Scripture assuring us of God’s comfort. One of the ways that God fulfills His promise to comfort us is through the comfort of other believers. Let’s consider how we can be channels of God’s comfort to those around us.  Thanks for joining us for this episode!

Sooner or later, every Christian will face a difficult question: What do I do when someone I respected for their faith fails? Whether it is a pastor, ministry leader, friend, or family member, the betrayal of someone we trusted can leave us discouraged, confused, and even shaken. In John 13, the disciples experienced that very moment when Judas—the man who had walked beside them for three years—was revealed as Christ's betrayer. Yet instead of allowing His followers to become consumed with Judas' failure, Jesus redirected their attention to what mattered most: God's unchanging plan, their own personal walk with Him, and the mission He had called them to fulfill. This passage gives us a biblical framework for responding when trusted people fail while remaining faithful to Christ ourselves.Thanks for joining us for this episode!

Have you ever wondered why Eve and Adam disobeyed God’s command and ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? Why did they give up so much blessing and freedom based on the word of a serpent? For thousands of years, we all have suffered under the consequences of their choice that day. Let’s pause and consider how this happened so that we might live more aware of Satan’s deceptive tactics as well as live soberly, righteously and godly in this present world.

Can you think of your biggest loss in life to date? Maybe it was a financial loss? Perhaps it was a relational loss or the loss of a loved one. Losses are difficult and often are accompanied with significant waves of grief. Paul knew what it was to loose everything that was valuable to him in life. Powerfully, Paul asserted that those losses was how he gained everything—Christ Jesus his Lord. Today, we are going to learn how to have a Biblical value system and how we should value having Christ in our lives as the greatest gain.

Have you ever noticed how that those that deny or disregard the truth of God’s Word are oftentimes very unhappy people? There is a very solid connection between joy and truth. The Philippian believers were being afflicted by a group of false teachers. Paul urged them to choose to have joy in their relationship with Christ and and warned to avoid those who were teaching error. This message is so relevant and necessary for every believer today.

Do you have a bio? A bio is a short biographical profile on someone. It may be a sentence or a list of adjectives, but it tells an important story—what a person is all about. As Paul continued to write the epistle to the Philippian believers, he pens his bio, “For me to live is Christ and to die is gain.” His whole life is summed up in eleven words. He surrounded those words with personal testimony and powerful encouragement for the Philippian believers. He wanted them to also live lives that were all about Jesus Christ and His Gospel. Let’s receive this inspired admonition for our lives today.

Are you familiar with trolling? It is defined as making a deliberately offensive or provocative online post with the aim of upsetting someone or eliciting an angry response from them. We live in a culture that is ready to criticize, teardown and sarcastically provoke others for fun. The Bible teaches us that we have a responsibility to edify—to build up with words and actions. Paul wrote to the Thessalonian believers and said, “Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.” (1 Thessalonians 5:11) As he begins his epistle to the Philippian church, he practiced what he had preached. He edified the Philippians with gratitude for their partnership, confirmation of God’s work in their lives and his heartfelt prays for them. As we pursue knowing Christ, may we also edify one another.

Life is full of interruptions. It may be a phone call, the endless notifications, someone stopping by, an unexpected accident, an advertisement in the middle of the best part of a show, a winter storm, or a sick child in the middle of the night. We all face interruptions and it is easy to become agitated because of the interruption—even become angry at the interruptor. Life can feel like a series of interruptions. The Apostle Paul certainly experienced that. What if the interruptions of our lives are a way that God directs our steps?Would that make us respond differently? Let’s learn how to respond to the interruptions of life from the life of Paul as he traveled to Philippi.
