Ephesians 5:15–21 Christians often sense a gap between the life they're living and the life Scripture describes—a Spirit-empowered life marked by joy, wisdom, and self-control.

Stop settling for a half-lived Christian life. Learn what it means to be controlled by the Spirit and walk each day in the fullness He provides!

1 Corinthians 1:18–2:5 The world has little patience for what it considers foolish or weak—and by that standard, a crucified Savior ranks near the bottom. The temptation to polish the gospel, soften its edges, and make it more culturally respectable is as strong today as it was in Paul's day. From 1 Corinthians 1:18–2:5, Pastor Chuck Swindoll explores Paul's resolute commitment to preach Christ crucified—not with worldly wisdom or rhetorical brilliance, but with straightforward confidence in the power of the cross to save. Refuse to be ashamed of the cross. What the world calls foolishness is the power of God—and that is more than enough.

2 Chronicles 7:12–22 What can we do for our country? We can pay taxes, vote, and obey the laws. These are worthwhile contributions, but there must be something deeper. Cancerous sin is spreading through our nation's vital organs. Every day, another family collapses from compromised morality, another business dies from a lack of ethics, another young person falls because of weakened values. The soul of a nation is only as healthy as the soul of each citizen. How can keep our nation from collapsing from within? In this special message for the United States, Pastor Chuck Swindoll draws from 2 Chronicles to prescribe four remedies—humble ourselves, pray, seek God's face, and turn from sin. These are the essentials to help our nation survive . . . and thrive.

Isaiah 53:3–7 Our culture lionizes the powerful, the aggressive, and the bold. Meekness is mistaken for weakness, and silence under pressure is seen as defeat. But centuries before the cross, Isaiah described a Servant who would be despised, rejected, and silent—and through whose wounds we would be healed. Pastor Chuck Swindoll opens Isaiah 53:3–7 to show how Jesus fulfilled the portrait of the suffering Servant—the Lamb who went to slaughter in silence, bearing our griefs and carrying our sorrows as our substitute. Find your hope in the Lamb who was slain for you. True strength is not the absence of suffering but the willingness to bear it for others.

Philippians 2:5-8 Self-promotion is so natural we barely notice it. We angle for recognition, guard our reputations, and resist situations that might diminish our status. But Jesus—who had every reason to insist on His position—chose the opposite path entirely. From Philippians 2:5–8, Pastor Chuck Swindoll unpacks one of the most majestic passages in Scripture: how Jesus, though existing in the very form of God, emptied Himself, took the form of a bond-servant, and humbled Himself to death on a cross. Let this portrait of Christ confront your own pride. Have the same attitude—and live with the freedom that comes with a servant's heart.

2 Samuel 9:1–13 We live in a world of earning and deserving. Promotions come to those who perform. Favor goes to those with the right background.

Many people imagine God's love as something like a kindly grandfather—affable, lenient, and unbothered by sin. But this misunderstanding cheapens love rather than exalts it. God's love is not soft. It is fierce and purposeful. Weaving through Deuteronomy 7, John 3, and 1 John 4, Pastor Chuck Swindoll explores why God chose to love an undeserving people—not because of who they were, but because of who He is. The cross stands as the ultimate proof. Let the depth of God's love move you. Understand it clearly, receive it fully, and let it reshape how you see yourself and others!

Isaiah 6:1–8 Most people prefer a God who is a little holier than they are—manageable, predictable, and unlikely to make demands. But that is not the God of the Bible.

Far from paralyzing Isaiah, this vision broke him, cleansed him, and sent him on mission. Discover what a true vision of God's holiness can do in your life.
