Have you ever left home and realized your phone was down to 1%? Our spiritual lives can feel that way too. We keep going through the motions until we notice how long it has been since we truly spent time with God. In Psalm 27:4, David speaks of the “one thing” he desires: to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of his life. In this short video, Pastor Jesse Waggoner reflects on what it means to seek God in daily life, gather with His people, and recognize His goodness right where we are. What has been getting your best attention lately? Take a few moments today to open God’s Word, speak honestly with Him, and draw near again.

After traveling more than three billion miles, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft gave humanity its first close look at Pluto. The images were remarkable—but they also raised an ancient question: What is our place in this enormous universe? Nearly three thousand years ago, David looked into the night sky and asked, “What is man that You are mindful of him?” In this episode of Recharge, Jesse Waggoner explores Psalm 8 and shows how the things we observe every day can lead us beyond information to wonder—and from wonder into worship. The next time something captures your attention, pause and ask, “Lord, what does this show me about You?” “When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained…” —Psalm 8:3, NKJV

Psalm 11 reminds us that our security is not found in a world that never changes, but in a God who never loses His place, His power, or His authority. Isaiah, Ezekiel, and John each faced times of uncertainty, yet when they looked toward heaven, they discovered the same reassuring truth: the throne was still occupied. The foundations beneath us may shake, but the throne above us never does. 📖 Scripture: Psalm 11:3–4 (NKJV) Visit us at LivingTheWordToday.com #Psalm11 #TrustGod #ChristianEncouragement #FaithOverFear #BibleTeaching For more visit  LivingTheWordToday.com

As Americans celebrate Independence Day, we often remember the courage of the Founding Fathers and the birth of a new nation. But many overlook one of the most important aspects of the Declaration of Independence—its unmistakable theological foundation. In this video, we explore how the Declaration affirms that our rights come not from government, but from our Creator. We’ll examine the biblical ideas behind phrases such as “created equal,” “endowed by their Creator,” “the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God,” and “a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence.” Far from being merely a political document, the Declaration reflects a worldview deeply influenced by Scripture. More importantly, it points us beyond political liberty to the greater freedom found in Jesus Christ. In this video you’ll discover: • Why the Declaration begins with God rather than government. • The biblical basis for human dignity and God-given rights. • What the Founders meant by “Divine Providence.” • Why America’s greatest hope has always been in the Lord. • The difference between political freedom and the spiritual freedom found in the Gospel. Key Scripture: Genesis 1:27 (NKJV) Psalm 127:1 (NKJV) If this study encouraged you, please consider subscribing, liking the video, and sharing it with others as we celebrate the blessings of liberty and remember the God from whom every good gift comes. Happy Independence Day, and may God continue to bless you as you seek to live according to His Word. For more visit: livingthewordtoday.com

After sixteen studies, we arrive at the final and perhaps most profound statement in 1 Corinthians 13: “Love never ends.” (1 Corinthians 13:8) As we conclude the Love Like God Bible study, we discover that while achievements fade, possessions wear out, and even spiritual gifts serve a temporary purpose, God’s love remains forever . Because God is eternal, His love is eternal. And every act of Christ-like love becomes an investment that will outlast this present world. In this final session you’ll discover: • Why Paul says love never ends. • What will remain after everything else passes away. • Why love is the only eternal investment you can make today. • Practical ways to build your life around what truly lasts forever. Whether you’ve joined us for every lesson or this is your first time watching, I hope this study encourages you to pursue the kind of love that reflects the very heart of God. Thank you for being part of this journey through Love Like God. It has been a joy to study God’s Word together, and I pray these truths continue to shape your walk with Christ for years to com

Why do some relationships last while others fall apart? In the final description of love found in 1 Corinthians 13:7, the Apostle Paul tells us that love endures all things. These simple words reveal one of the greatest differences between human love and God’s love. In this fifteenth session of our Love Like God Bible study, we’ll discover that biblical love is built on commitment rather than emotion. Feelings come and go, but Christ-like love remains faithful through disappointment, hardship, and seasons of struggle. Together we’ll explore: • What “love endures all things” really means. • Why commitment is stronger than emotion. • The difference between covenant love and conditional love. • How Jesus demonstrated enduring love through the cross. • Practical ways to remain faithful in difficult relationships. Real love isn’t proven when life is easy. It’s revealed when staying becomes difficult. Whether you’re seeking stronger relationships, a healthier marriage, deeper friendships, or simply want to love others more like Christ, this study will encourage and challenge you to reflect God’s steadfast love.

Disappointment has a way of making us cynical. After enough hurt, it’s easy to believe that people never change. Yet in 1 Corinthians 13:7, the Bible tells us that love hopes all things. In this fourteenth session of our Love Like God Bible study, we discover that biblical hope is not wishful thinking—it is confident expectation rooted in the character of God. Christian love doesn’t ignore reality, excuse sin, or abandon wisdom. Instead, it refuses to write the final chapter of someone’s story before God does. In this study you’ll discover: • What “love hopes all things” really means. • Why cynicism is one of love’s greatest enemies. • How hope transforms the way we speak to others. • Practical ways to leave room for God’s redeeming work in people’s lives. No matter how impossible a situation may seem, God is still in the business of changing hearts. Love believes that because our confidence is not in people—but in Him.

Does biblical love mean we should trust everyone without question? Should Christians ignore warning signs or pretend people never fail? In this session of the Love Like God Bible Study, we discover that “love believes all things” is not about being gullible. Instead, it describes a heart that chooses hope over suspicion and sees what God’s grace can accomplish in a person’s life. Using the powerful example of Jesus restoring Peter after his denial, we’ll explore how Christ looked beyond failure to future faithfulness—and how we can learn to love others the same way. In this study you’ll discover: • What “love believes all things” really means. • Why suspicion can quietly damage relationships. • How Jesus modeled grace without ignoring truth. • One practical step you can take this week to strengthen your relationships.
