Pastor John Randall will be turning to a practical portion of James chapter one, and verses 9-15. The topic for the day is temptation, and how to avoid it! Since this is a battle we all face, I hope your ears perked up! We're about to discover some keys in overcoming it is to flee and resist. And Joseph is a great example on how to do that.

As you look back over this past year, maybe you've faced trials like never before! It can leave us wondering, what's going on, or what is God up to! The book of James reveals the Lord is up to something good through those trials we face. He wants to produce patience in us for starters. So today on a Daily Walk we'll learn that while trials are inevitable, they are purposeful. And God wants to give us wisdom to navigate through them.

When a trial comes into our lives, it's common to experience a number of emotions. From fear, to worry, or even anger. And those emotions if we're not careful can distort our thinking and lead us to wrong decisions. Pastor John Randall suggests testing every thought by the Word of God, especially during trials. He'll explain why as we move along today in our study of First Peter. Today on a Daily Walk we're learning what it takes to win the battle of the mind.

Today we begin a study in the highly practical book of James, which you could say is all about Faith in Action or Faith that Works.

Merry Christmas and thank-you for joining us on this beautiful Christmas Day. In the midst of all the family gatherings, gift giving, football and Christmas movies today we want to pause to consider what Christmas should remind us of. Pastor John Randall opens Matthew chapter two where we encounter three very different groups of people… the Wisemen, Herod and the Scribes. Through it all we'll be challenged by this question, “What are you searching for this Christmas?” To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29?v=20251111

Today on a Daily Walk we put the finishing touches on our study of Hebrews. Just think for a second about all that God has done for you. Right there at the top of the list is dying for our sins on the cross! We have all that we need and ever will need because of that. Doesn't that just make you want to express thanksgiving and praise to Him? We'll have an opportunity to do that today with pastor John Randall.

From beginning to end the writer of Hebrews has emphasized the superiority of Christ! And as we enter into a passage that is somewhat difficult for us to understand, pastor John Randall believes we need to recall that consistent theme! It's important to remember all that we have in Jesus. There's no need to turn to anyone or anything else, since we have everything we need in the Lord.

Today on a Daily Walk we'll hear the truth about sex outside of marriage and be encouraged to live sexually pure lives in a sexually impure world.

Think with us about all that we're saved from… death and judgment. But also let's not forget what we're saved for… an eternity with Jesus! Could it get any better than that? We're hoping you'll walk away from today's study seeing how greatly blessed you are in Christ, and how great a salvation you've been given. Talk about something to celebrate this Christmas.

Perhaps some would describe you as a people-person? Meeting new people and being friendly comes easy to some of us. But for many, we're a little hesitant to open up and love those around us. Today on a Daily Walk pastor John Randall continues a study of Hebrews, and as we bring you chapters twelve and thirteen we receive some practical guidelines for Christian living. We'll encounter some warnings and exhortations, and then finish our time considering our call to love and reach out to others in the name of Christ.

We've all been hurt by the words or actions of another, and when that happens you might be tempted to get angry and turn bitter! But as we'll learn today on a Daily Walk bitterness will hurt you and hinder your growth. Pastor John Randall will show us how to root that out of our lives, and pursue peace and holiness instead. We're developing a study of Hebrews right now, and we pick things up in chapter twelve today. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29?v=20251111

Remember back to when you were a kid, and your parents would discipline you! We probably didn't have the maturity back then to thank our parents for that, but now years down the road we have a whole different perspective. We appreciate what our parents did to help steer us back on course and help develop our character. Today on a Daily Walk we'll gain a proper perspective of God's discipline in our lives. It comes from Hebrews chapter twelve, and it too is for our good and God's glory. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29?v=20251111

Pastor John Randall is about to show us how to run this Christian race with endurance so we can finish successfully. The Olympics are right around the corner, and you can be sure the athletes are training hard even as we speak! Needless to say to perform well in the Olympic games you're going to need endurance.And so it is in this Christian life-long race. Turn to Hebrews chapter twelve and see what will keep you going, even when the going gets tough. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29?v=20251111

Today on a Daily Walk we turn to Hebrews chapter twelve and notice what's required to run this race called the Christian life. We should want to finish this race in such a way as to receive a well done from our Lord, and pastor John Randall shows us how to get there in part one of, “Run Your Race.” To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29?v=20251111

Have you ever noticed that your field of vision narrows under stress? Spiritually speaking during seasons of suffering we're prone to lose perspective. And that's actually the time we desperately need it. Pastor John Randall will show us how to maintain perspective for seasons of suffering and how to navigate through trials today. Staying focused on Jesus, and our great salvation will help us make it through whatever may come our way.

All throughout the Bible we see wonderful examples of God using people greatly as they turned to Him in faith. The good news is, just as God used these men and women, He can use us too! Today on a Daily Walk we'll be encouraged by some examples of faith and their accomplishments by the grace of God. Pastor John Randall has an eye on Hebrews eleven, and verses 23-40.

Each of us are faced with a choice in life, similar to Moses. And that is will we choose the eternal or the passing pleasures of sin? Moses was remembered in the Hall of Faith because he looked to the reward, his faith transformed his values and shaped his decisions. Let's be encouraged to do the same.

Just like the people we'll meet today, our faith will be tested. When the next test comes your way, you can pass with flying colors. Stay tuned and we'll explain how! We're back in Hebrews today. And we've been taking our time here in this eleventh chapter for good reason. We're encouraged and challenged in our faith, to live according to God's promises.

Today on a Daily Walk, pastor John Randall continues a study in Hebrews. The Old Testament Patriarchs we'll look at today had the right perspective, and we can learn from their example. We're learning to walk by faith and not by sight with Pastor John Randall through his teaching from Hebrews chapter eleven.

In Hebrews chapter eleven, Abraham is presented as an example of someone who had waiting faith. He received the call of God with open arms, even though it wasn't easy. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29?v=20251111

When life goes from bad to worse you might be tempted to think you're really not saved. It's during those times of suffering we need reassurance of our sure salvation, and First Peter provides just that. If you're truly a Christian God wants you to know you're salvation is secure and nothing or no one can take it away. Today on a Daily Walk that encouraging truth comes to our attention, as pastor John Randall revisits 1 Peter chapter one. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29?v=20251111

Today we come back to John's series based on Hebrews. As you may know Hebrews eleven has long been referred to as the hall of faith as it highlights heroes that exemplify faith. The first guy we encounter is Abel, a godly man who was sold out for Christ, and his life showed it. Through this study we'll be encouraged to follow in his footsteps and worship God by faith.

Maybe like so many today you relate faith to the beginning of the Christian life? Afterall, we know that it takes faith to become a Christian right? Today on a Daily Walk pastor John Randall will show us that biblical faith is actually so much more than that. It's a key to being and doing all that God intends for us. Turn if you would to Hebrews eleven as pastor John points out the importance of faith! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29?v=20251111

In the Proverbs, we're told to trust in the Lord with all our heart and lean not on our own understanding. In the Book of Acts, the apostles told their accusers that they were to obey God rather than man. Time and time again, the Bible encourages us to obey the Lord in all things. Yet, so many of us kick against the goads! Today on a Daily Walk we visit Hebrews Eleven -- The Faith Chapter. Before we get into some demonstrations of faith, which will encourage us to walk faithfully with God, we want to observe an important description of faith.

As believers in Christ we should all desire a closer relationship with the Lord, and to grow spiritually. But sadly many of us can look back over the years and see that there's been little to no growth, or maybe we've even gone backwards. And quite often that can be traced back to no longer being in fellowship with other believers! The Lord knows we need each other, and that's a big reason why we need to make going to church a top priority in these last days. Today on a Daily Walk we return to John Randall's series from Hebrews. We're in chapter ten. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29?v=20251111

If you were granted access to the President of the United States, or your favorite athlete or movie star... you'd most likely be very excited and realize what a great honor that is. But think of this… if you're a Christian… you have complete access to the God of the Universe. Now that's amazing. It doesn't get any better than that. Today on a Daily Walk mull that over with us as we get back into Hebrews. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29?v=20251111

Have you ever received a note of encouragement right in the midst of great suffering? A well spoken word at just the right time can go a long way. And that's what we find in the epistle of First Peter. It was written to Christians who were unjustly persecuted, and encountering fiery trials. We can benefit from the letter too, and receive God's encouragement and instruction for the difficult seasons of life. Today on a Daily Walk pastor John Randall speaks of a living hope. It belongs to you if you're a believer in Christ, and it cannot be taken away. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29?v=20251111

Today on a Daily Walk we're reminded in a powerful way that it's the blood of Jesus that redeems, and that's why it's so important to talk about. And why it's emphasized in Hebrews chapter ten. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29?v=20251111

Pastor John Randall will continue his series in Hebrews today. Have you ever wondered why all of the sacrifices in the Old Testament? They really couldn't accomplish forgiveness for a sinner once and for all. But they pointed to the one who can… Jesus Christ! Pastor John is about to point to the superiority of the sacrifice of Jesus through this important study in Hebrews chapters nine and ten. And by the end of our time together I think you'll see we have good reason to give thanks to God, this day, and every day!

Pastor John Randall is knee deep in his study of Hebrews, and we're taking our time here in the early part of chapter nine, so we consider how the Tabernacle is a picture of Christ. Even the furniture contained in it, points to Jesus. It speaks volumes about how we're not to go back to the Old Covenant like the Hebrews were doing. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29?v=20251111

Pastor John Randall will be continuing our series in Hebrews with a stop in chapter nine. Today and tomorrow we're going to bring you a study on the Tabernacle. You'll not only learn what it is, but how it's a picture or type or Jesus. It's something the Hebrews needed to understand, and we do too. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29?v=20251111

As we dive back into our study of Hebrews, pastor John Randall will have us consider some aspects of the New Covenant and show us why it's so much superior to the Old Covenant. Those that try to live under the Old Covenant rules discover it can't be done. It can't fix our problem, because we're sinful people. And the Old Covenant simply couldn't remove sin! So where does that leave us? Christ changed everything and solved the problem! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29?v=20251111

Today on a Daily Walk we continue our study of First Peter! Again we're in chapter one, looking at the various reasons we can rejoice as Christians even in hard times. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29?v=20251111

Today we continue our series in Hebrews with pastor John Randall. And throughout this series we've observed that Jesus is better than anyone or anything. The author has already established that Jesus is better than the Old Testament, better than the angels, and Moses. Now today we see that He is better than any other high priest.

Maybe you've tried studying the book of Hebrews before and we're left confused with all this talk of Melchizedek, and the Levitical priesthood. What are we to make of it all, and is it really important for us today? Pastor John Randall will break it down for us, and by the end of our time together we hope you're left with a grateful heart because of the finished work of our perfect high priest.

Does it seem like there's not a lot you can really count on in this world? Maybe your friends or family have even let you down! Today on a Daily Walk, be encouraged by this… God keeps His promises! He'll always come through. That will never change. That good news is front and center as pastor John Randall spotlights Hebrews chapters six and seven. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29?v=20251111

Hebrews chapter six has long been turned to by Christians as they wrestle with the doctrine of eternal security. Is the writer referring to someone that was actually saved, and then fell away from the faith? Or is it referring to someone who was never saved to begin with? Today on a Daily Walk we'll look into that with pastor John Randall. While maintaining a deep-seeded respect for those of a different opinion on the interpretation of this passage, John will seek to offer his thoughts of what Hebrews 6 is getting at.

We expect our kids to grow up and mature over time. Could you imagine if your eighteen year old was still learning their abc's or multiplication table? Or still sucking on a pacifier or wearing diapers? We laugh at the mere thought. But today on a Daily Walk, we'll discover many Christians are like that spiritually speaking, and that's no laughing matter. They've never moved on from the basics of the Christian faith. And the exhortation from Hebrews chapter six is, it's time to move on! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29?v=20251111

Would this be described as a difficult time for you? Maybe you're one of the many who is really struggling financially right now? Or perhaps your marriage is falling apart or you're really discouraged about what's going on in the world around you! When times are tough, the book of First Peter is a good place to turn for hope and encouragement. And that's where we're headed today and in the coming weeks on a Daily Walk. Trials are a part of life, and something we all encounter. We'll show you how to go through them, while maintaining a godly perspective!

We all know that a healthy marriage is one that grows over time. Imagine being married to someone for 50 years and the relationship never progressed beyond the infancy stage! Or worse yet, went backwards. That would be tragic. In Hebrews chapter five we'll see how that happens to people in their relationship with God. Too few are where they should be in relation to their spiritual age. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29?v=20251111

Pastor John will be drawing our attention to the traits and qualifications of the High Priest. It's interesting to note that Jesus meets each and every one of them… perfectly! And so He is uniquely qualified to be our Great High Priest. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29?v=20251111

As you read your Old Testament you discover Israel had many high priests and they would serve an important role. But as we'll learn today on a Daily Walk, Jesus is far superior to the Levitical Priesthood! We'll give you several reasons why as we get back into our new study of Hebrews with pastor John Randall. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29?v=20251111

The high priesthood in the Old Testament was designed in part to give us a sense that God is concerned with us having representation. But the best they could do is point us to the Lord. You and I have a sin problem and because of that we need representation before God. Everything about the priesthood, as we'll see today, symbolized the solution God had in mind all along. Today our teacher pastor John Randall shows us why Jesus is superior to the levitical priesthood, and what makes Him our great high priest!

Maybe like many you have trouble getting a good night's rest. Perhaps it's due to drinking too much coffee late in the day, or you're stressed out! There are some things that can get in the way of our sleep, and there are also some hindrances to entering into the rest of the Lord and being at peace. We'll talk about that today on a Daily Walk.

Today pastor John Randall will conclude his verse by verse study through Matthew. If you've been with us for every broadcast, you have studied in depth the greatest life ever led - that of the Lord Jesus Christ. And of course, the story has a happy ending because there is no ending - He rose from the grave and is preparing a place for you and me in Heaven!

Spiritual rest is what we desperately need, and it's what God alone can supply! So many are trying to find it in man-made substitutes, but they're coming up empty. Today on a Daily Walk we'll notice that the Lord wants us to be at rest in Him and He's provided a finished salvation to make that possible. The plan is to cover Hebrews chapter four today with pastor John Randall. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29

If you've ever swam in the ocean you know how easy it is to drift and not even realize it's happening. Before you know it, you look to the shore and your towel and chair are nowhere to be seen. This can also happen to us spiritually as we'll see today on a Daily Walk. As we get back into Hebrews we'll hear of those who were drifting back into the rituals of Judaism. While that may not be your personal struggle, many today are drifting back to the old life or the world's system. Pastor John Randall's message is based in Hebrews chapter three.

There are certainly some wonderful Christian leaders in our day. And if their heart is in the right place they would be the first to tell you that the ministry is not about themselves, but rather all about Christ. Jesus is far superior to anyone and anything, and the book of Hebrews makes that abundantly clear. Today on a Daily Walk, we make our way into Hebrews chapter 3, where the writer explains how Jesus is greater than Moses in His accomplishments and in His position with God.

Pastor John Randall is going verse by verse through Hebrews at the present time. As we study chapter two today, our aim is to gain a greater appreciation for the one who left the riches of heaven to become one of us to eventually die for our sins. Do you have a good understanding of why Jesus came and died? Some are under the illusion that He merely came to make life a little better for us, or save us from our problems or a life of purposelessness. Pastor John shows us why Jesus really came, suffered and died. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29
