Transcript Today's Bible Translation Bible translation used in today's episode: Ch. 27 NIRV, Ch. 28 CEV Executive Producer Lifespring! Family Berean Sister Ann Associate Producer Michael Haner, Anonymous Podcast Introduction Today is Gospels Saturday. We’ll the complete the Gospels with chapters 27 and 28 of the Acts of the Apostles. This is the last episode of the Lifespring! One Year Bible. Yes, after 13 seasons, this is it. I’m calling this episode “A Call To Action.“ Design: Jason Paschall | Photo: Victoria Priessnitz on Unsplash Summary In Acts 27, we find Paul on a journey to Rome after appealing to Caesar. Despite facing a perilous storm at sea, Paul remained steadfast in his faith, assuring the crew that God had promised their safety. This message may have initially been met with skepticism, but as the storm raged on for two weeks, Paul's encouragement and actions brought hope. He urged everyone to eat and gave thanks to God, demonstrating his unwavering faith. This act filled the hearts of those on board with hope, emphasizing the power of hope in challenging times. It's a reminder that we can make a difference by being a source of hope for others, as I've experienced in my own life. Moving on to Acts 28, we see Paul quoting a message from Isaiah to Jewish leaders in Rome. This message had been given to the Jewish people in the past as a warning from God due to their repeated rejection of Him. Paul's use of these verses signified that the Gospel, rejected by some, would now be shared with the Gentiles who would embrace it. This shows God's patience but also a point at which His patience wears thin. Today, as we witness increasing moral decay and rejection of Christ in our world, it's crucial for believers to pray for divine intervention, for people's eyes to be opened, and for the salvation of our unsaved loved ones. The message is clear: now is the time to be bold and share the message of salvation, because time may be running out. We have the message of life, and we should not be afraid to share it with those around us who are in need of hope and salvation. Listen to the episode for more!

Transcript Today's Bible Translation Bible translation used in today's episode: Ch. 18-20 NLV, Ch. 21-22 CEB Podcast Introduction Today is Prophecy Friday. We’ll the prophetic books with chapters 18-22 of the last book in the Bible, the book of Revelation. There’s a new voicemail that I think you’ll find interesting, and as I promised to James in Norway a couple of days ago, I’ll do a quick "Steve's Practical Guide to Quiet Time with the LORD” today. I’m calling this episode “The Final Chapters.“ Design: Jason Paschall | Photo: Victoria Priessnitz on Unsplash Summary In these final chapters of Revelation, significant events unfold. Chapter 19 begins with a celebration in heaven, where people thank God for bringing justice against Babylon and avenging those who believed in Jesus. It's a time of great joy and worship. Next, there's the "wedding supper of the Lamb." The Lamb symbolizes Jesus, and His bride is the church, represented as people wearing fine white linen, signifying their righteousness through God's grace. Then, Jesus, the King of Kings, appears on a white horse as the Faithful and True One, ready to judge and wage a just war. This highlights the idea that sometimes war can be necessary against incorrigible evil. The narrative continues with a battle between the beast (antichrist) and the false prophet against Jesus, but they're defeated, and the rest are killed. In Chapter 20, an angel imprisons Satan for a thousand years in the abyss during the "Millennium." Jesus rules Earth, and deceased believers reign with Him. Afterward, Satan is briefly released but is eventually cast into the eternal lake of fire. The Great White Throne judgment follows, where everyone is judged. Those not in the book of life face eternal separation from God in the lake of fire, respecting their choice to reject Him. Chapter 21 reveals a new heaven and earth, a glorious creation, where God dwells openly with us, ushering in an age of unparalleled joy. There's no sorrow, pain, decay, or sin, and we have glorified bodies, free from weaknesses. The New Jerusalem is described, likely our future home with its twelve never-closing gates. While eternity includes worshipping God, there may also be other activities due to God's infinite creativity. In essence, Jesus' sacrifice grants us an extraordinary eternity as His bride. Personally, after more than 69 years on Earth, I looking forward to this time. How about you? Listen to the episode for more! Support This a value for value podcast.

Despite our failures, Jesus loves us, as  Romans 5:8 says. Why would Jesus, being holy, love humanity so profoundly? 1 John 4:8 tells us why: God is love. It’s who He is.

Transcript Today's Bible Translation Bible translation used in today's episode: Ch. 149-150 NCV Associate Producer Daniel Torrelio, James in Norway Podcast Introduction Today is Psalms Wednesday. We’ll close this, the longest book of the Bible with chapters 149-150, and we’ll have our last prayer time together. I’m calling this episode “The Ultimate Encore.“ Design: Jason Paschall | Photo: Cason Asher on Unsplash Summary Chapters 149 and 150 are part of the Hallelujah Psalms, beginning and ending with praises to the Lord. Psalm 149, like the other Hallelujah Psalms, lacks a specific title. It's a celebration of the joyful connection between God and His people, radiating the excitement of praising God together. Psalm 150, the last in the book, offers a fitting conclusion with its exuberant praise. It invites all of creation to worship the Creator. This echoes the scenes of worship in the book of Revelation. In Revelation, we glimpse heaven's worship, where countless beings from all nations and languages honor God. Imagine a concert's finale, but on an unimaginable scale, where God's restoration brings endless celebration. With eternity at our disposal, we can worship and rejoice without end. The closing Psalms offer a taste of the grand celebration awaiting us in God's presence. We'll declare, "Holy is the Lamb. Hallelujah! Great is the King of kings and Lord of lords!" It's a vision of eternal worship and awe in the presence of the Almighty. Listen to the episode for more! Support This a value for value podcast.

Transcript Today's Bible Translation Bible translation used in today's episode: Ch. 32-33 CEB, Ch. 34 GWT Podcast Introduction Today is The Law Monday. We’ll complete this section of the bible with the final chapters of Deuteronomy…chapters 32-34. I’m calling this episode “Moses Says Goodbye.“ Design: Jason Paschall | Photo: Susan Myers on Unsplash Summary In Deuteronomy 32, we read the "Song of Moses”, which emphasizes the importance of God's teachings and recounts Israel's history, including their disobedience and the consequences they faced. The chapter ends by highlighting the significance of following God's Law for a blessed life. In Deuteronomy 33, Moses blesses the twelve tribes of Israel before his death. Simeon is notably omitted from these blessings, possibly due to the tribe's previous actions and reputation. Moses, aware of his impending death, uses this moment to encourage and bless the people he has led for forty years. Finally, in Deuteronomy 34, God allows Moses a view of the Promised Land from Mount Nebo before his passing. This symbolizes the culmination of his life's journey and the passing of leadership to Joshua, signifying the continuation of God's plan for Israel. These chapters explore themes of God's faithfulness, the consequences of disobedience, the importance of God's Word, and the transition of leadership. Listen to the episode for more!

Transcript Today's Bible Translation Bible translation used in today's episode: Ch. 1 NIRV Podcast Introduction Today is Epistles Sunday. Our reading will be the tiny little book of Jude. Just 24 verses. And while it is short, we need to remember that it’s in the Bible for a reason. It’s message is important. I’m calling this episode “A Call to Persevere.“ Design: Jason Paschall | Photo: Midjourney Summary Jude's letter still resonates with relevance today. It emphasizes the need to defend our faith, especially in a time when Christianity faces challenges. The idea that Christianity is always one generation away from extinction underscores the importance of passing down the faith to the next generation. We have a responsibility to follow Jesus' Great Commission, which calls for spreading the Gospel to all nations. Jude also addresses the issue of false teachers who misuse God's grace to justify sexual sin. Modern arguments about love and God's acceptance parallel Jude's description of people doing what feels natural to them. Jude encourages believers to abide in God's love, pray guided by the Holy Spirit, live lives that honor God, and offer praise to Him and Jesus Christ. His message transcends time, speaking to the early church, the contemporary church, and future generations. Listen to the episode for more! Support This a value for value podcast.

If Paul has done anything wrong, you can make your accusations about eight or 10 days later, Festus return to assessor Ria. and on the following day, he took his seat in court and ordered that Paul be brought in.

Transcript Today's Bible Translation Bible translation used in today's episode: Ch. 12-16 WEB, Ch. 17 NLV Associate Producer Timothy LaFontaine Podcast Introduction It’s Prophecy Friday. Our reading will be Revelation 12-17, I’m calling this episode “The Antichrist, 666 and Babylon.“ Design: Jason Paschall | Photo: Midjourney Summary In Revelation 10-12, the Bible discusses spiritual warfare, emphasizing that our battles are not against people, but against spiritual forces of wickedness. In Revelation 12, there's a symbolic image of a woman, representing the church, with the sun as Jesus, a crown of twelve stars as the twelve apostles, and the moon as the Jewish people. The dragon, symbolizing Satan, has always tried to harm humanity and the church. Despite ongoing battles, Satan's defeat is certain, thanks to God's love and patience as He awaits more believers. In Revelation 13 and 14, we encounter prophecies like the fall of Babylon and the mysterious number 666. Speculations about its meaning have existed throughout history, but its true significance will become clear when the time comes. Superstitions about this number are unwarranted. Instead, we should focus on doing the work God called us to, loving Him and others, and spreading the Good News. Revelation 17 and 18 discuss a great sinful city, Babylon. While its identity is uncertain, we should find encouragement in the fact that throughout history, evil entities have risen but eventually faced destruction. Recent examples like ISIS remind us that evil will ultimately be judged by God. We serve a powerful and just God who acts at the perfect time, bringing swift and certain judgment when necessary.
