Our Tuesday

Chapter 12 is the continuation and the climax of the vision that started in Daniel 10. While we cannot know everything about the future we do trust in the God who holds and knows all things and in his kindness unveils for us in his Word details of things to come. And even in the darkest and most difficult times ahead, God's people will be afforded the opportunity to let the gospel shine and make Him known. We are invited to shine like stars, assured of the promise of eternity in Heaven and our names in the book of life. Glory be to God!   Follow us on social media @OurTuesday for the latest information about new podcasts, upcoming live talks, and more.

Our faith matters to God. Take a listen to today's episode as Lanie Beth teaches through Daniel 11. In this chapter we're reminded that our walk with God is “Yes, And”.

Today Lanie Beth leads us through Daniel 9 and 10. In these passages, we'll learn how Daniel's prophetic dreams and visions connect to several other scriptures, which all display the perfect nature of God's plan. In Daniel's visions of idols and encounters with spiritual beings, we're reminded that idolatry only produces desolation. May our hearts only be consumed with the holy, purifying fire of God.   Follow us on social media @OurTuesday for the latest information about new podcasts, upcoming live talks, and more.

In this episode, Lanie Beth teaches from Daniel 7 and 8. Throughout these scriptures filled with apocalyptic visions and prophecies of great beasts, one truth is clear — God is not bound by time or circumstance. Empires rise and fall, yet God is eternal and in control. Even though our human concept of time is finite, we're still called to be faithful servants of God at all times.   Follow us on social media @OurTuesday for the latest information about new podcasts, upcoming live talks, and more.

In this episode, Emily Vogeltanz teaches through Daniel 5 & 6. "The writing on the wall" and "lion's den" are two of Daniel's most well known stories. Each account reminds us that God is faithful to his word and he is inviting us to whole heartedly trust Him. God is sovereign and able to work all things for our good and His glory. He alone is our anchor and sure foundation against the current of culture and fear. Like Daniel, may we be found faithful.

Today Lanie Beth teaches from Daniel chapters 3 and 4. In these pages of scripture we learn about Nebuchadnezzar — the self-assured king who sent Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego into the fiery furnace. We'll also learn of the miraculous events surrounding those flames, as well as Nebuchadnezzar's terrifying dream, and his eventual fall from grace. The accounts written in Daniel 3 and 4 paint such a vivid picture of how we can all be justly humbled and graciously restored by the one true God — ruler of the eternal kingdom.   Follow us on social media @OurTuesday for the latest information about new podcasts, upcoming live talks, and more.

In this episode we begin our journey through Daniel chapters 1 + 2. Emily Vogeltanz guides us through several Old Testament passages that help give us broader context for the story of Daniel and the events leading up to exile that prepared him to live a faith filled life. Daniel is a story of kings and kingdoms, but ultimately about the sovereignty of the One true King and his love for his people. Like Daniel, may we all choose to “resolve in our hearts”  (Daniel 1:8) to follow God with all our  heart and strength as we live in but not of this world.    Passage lists:  2 Kings 22, 23 Jeremiah 24, 29 Daniel 1, 2   Follow us on social media @OurTuesday for the latest information about new podcasts, upcoming live talks, and more.

This week Lanie Beth Sinclair begins the book of 1 John. In this passage, we learn how to truly walk in the perfect light of God. Even though our hearts are filled with darkness and sin, we can still rejoice because we have a defender — Jesus Christ — whose sacrifice makes us pure and upright before God. The more we truly marvel at this truth, the deeper the fellowship we'll have with the Lord and our fellow believers.   Follow us on social media @OurTuesday for the latest information about new podcasts, upcoming live talks, and more.

On this week's episode Emily Vogeltanz closes out 1 Peter with chapters 4 and 5. We look at the Biblical definition of love and hospitality, the value and call for believers to be rooted in a local church community, and the role of the flock and shepherds as outlined in these chapters. Each of these truths serves as an encouragement and reminder to remain anchored in Jesus — our Chief Shepherd.   Follow us on social media @OurTuesday for the latest information about new podcasts, upcoming live talks, and more.

This week Lanie Beth leads us through 1 Peter Chapter 3. In this passage we see so much truth shine through the text. Honor between wives and husbands, suffering well, giving an answer for the hope within us and much more. All these truths point to baptism so we might appear before Jesus holy, humble, and compassionate women with clean hearts for him.   Follow us on social media @OurTuesday for the latest information about new podcasts, upcoming live talks, and more.

In times of great trouble and distress we're often told that everything will be okay — but what if it isn't? In today's episode, Emily Vogeltanz leads us through 1 Peter chapter 1, where we'll learn to take heart during whatever trial or circumstance we find ourselves in. Thankfully we have one source of peace and comfort, regardless of the chaos and uncertainty around us. We can take heart because WE will be okay even when the world isn't — and it's all because of Jesus.   Follow us on social media @OurTuesday for the latest information about new podcasts, upcoming live talks, and more.

Join us for another Our Tuesday live event as Lanie Beth guides us through Acts 17 — a passage in which Paul chose dialogue over debate with the people in Athens. Sometimes the ultimate victory in sharing the Gospel with others is not the realization that we've won the argument, but the person. May we always be on the lookout for opportunities to meet people where they are, that they might simply say: “Tell me more about this Jesus."   Follow us on social media @OurTuesday for the latest information about new podcasts, upcoming live talks, and more.

Romans 15 tells us that we have been justified by grace. But what does that look like in our daily Christian lives? How should we walk out the truth and grace we’ve been given?

Join us as we continue our Psalms of Ascent series with Psalm 127, which tells us that unless the Lord builds the house, all of our labors are in vain.   Psalm 127 Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain. In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat—for he grants sleep to those he loves. Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their opponents in court.   Visit our website: ourtuesday.com   Follow us on social media: Facebook Instagram Download our free Bible studies!

Any day can be New Year’s Day. No matter what the calendar says, each moment is a new opportunity to experience the fullness and richness of God’s mercy and grace. In today’s episode, we take a brief break to mark the halfway point in our Psalms of Ascent series. With 2020 in the rearview mirror and 2021 on the horizon — it’s okay to simply pause, take a deep breath, and rest in the Lord today.   Visit our website: ourtuesday.com   Follow us on social media: Facebook Instagram Download our free Bible studies!

2020 has been a year of great stress, loss and uncertainty — but our tears are never wasted with God. Come along on our journey through the Psalms of Ascent as we dive into Psalm 126 — a song which tells us that those who sow in tears today will reap a harvest of joy and laughter in the season to come.   Psalm 126 When the LORD brought back the captives to Zion, we were like men who dreamed. Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations, "The LORD has done great things for them." The LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy. Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like streams in the Negev. Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy. He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him.   Visit our website: ourtuesday.com   Follow us on social media: Facebook Instagram Download our free Bible studies!

Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people. Our Psalms of Ascent series continues with Psalm 125 — a passage which reminds us that those who trust in the Lord cannot be shaken — both now and forevermore.   Psalm 125 Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people both now and forevermore. The scepter of the wicked will not remain over the land allotted to the righteous, for then the righteous might use their hands to do evil. Lord, do good to those who are good, to those who are upright in heart. But those who turn to crooked ways the Lord will banish with the evildoers. Peace be on Israel.   Visit our website: ourtuesday.com   Follow us on social media: Facebook Instagram Download our free Bible studies!

We take the next step in our Psalms of Ascent series with Psalm 124 — a song penned by David that reminds us to remember. Sometimes it’s only when we look back to see what God has brought us through that we can truly say: “Lord had you not been on my side, I don’t know where I’d be!”   Psalm 124 If the Lord had not been on our side—let Israel say—if the Lord had not been on our side when people attacked us, they would have swallowed us alive when their anger flared against us; the flood would have engulfed us,the torrent would have swept over us, the raging waters would have swept us away. Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be torn by their teeth. We have escaped like a bird from the fowler’s snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped. Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.   Visit our website: ourtuesday.com   Follow us on social media: Facebook Instagram Download our free Bible studies!

It’s OK to say we’ve had enough — in fact, scripture encourages us to cry out to God when we just can’t seem to endure any longer. We continue our Psalms of Ascent series with Psalm 123, which tells us to turn to the Lord for mercy in the midst of contempt. As believers, we can rejoice in knowing that our worth is not determined by the pointing fingers of the proud — our ultimate value rests in the supplying, protecting, correcting, and rewarding hands of God.   Psalm 123 I lift up my eyes to you, to you whose throne is in heaven. As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD our God, till he shows us his mercy. Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt. We have endured much ridicule from the proud, much contempt from the arrogant.   Visit our website: ourtuesday.com   Follow us on social media: Facebook Instagram Download our free Bible studies!

Our 15-part pilgrimage through the Psalms of Ascent continues with Psalm 122 which reminds us to ascend the steps to the house of the Lord and to pray for peace and prosperity within its walls. Join Lanie Beth as she leads us through this Psalm of Ascent that serves as a beautiful reminder that the church is to be a shining beacon in the city center — a place of love, hope and security for all who take shelter there.   Psalm 122 I rejoiced with those who said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD." Our feet are standing in your gates, O Jerusalem. Jerusalem is built like a city that is closely compacted together. That is where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, to praise the name of the LORD according to the statute given to Israel. There the thrones for judgment stand, the thrones of the house of David. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May those who love you be secure. May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels." For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, "Peace be within you." For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your prosperity.   Visit our website: ourtuesday.com   Follow us on social media: Facebook Instagram Download our free Bible studies!

2020 has been quite a journey to say the least — but there’s still more scripture to explore. Join Lanie Beth on a unique 15-part journey through the Psalms of Ascent (Psalm 120-134). This fascinating series will take place throughout the month of December. Today, we continue our series with Psalm 121. In this passage, we’re reminded that our help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.   Psalm 121 I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip— he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD watches over you— the LORD is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.   Visit our website: ourtuesday.com   Follow us on social media: Facebook Instagram Download our free Bible studies!

2020 has been quite a journey to say the least — but there’s still more scripture to explore before the year is through.

Joy in Christ is infinitely sweeter than even the finest wine — and that’s a reason to rejoice. Join in the celebration as Lanie Beth walks us through the story of Jesus’ first miracle in John 2:1-11.   Jesus Changes Water Into Wine 2 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding.3 When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.” 4 “Woman,[a] why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.” 5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” 6 Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.[b] 7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim. 8 Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so, 9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside10 and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.” 11 What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.   Visit our website: ourtuesday.com   Follow us on social media: Facebook Instagram Download our free Bible studies!

Jesus doesn’t call us from death to life so that we can just get by — He calls us to take off the grave clothes and GO! The story of Lazarus resonates so deeply with believers because we’ve all been down in the pits at one point or another — but if we take the time to listen, we’ll hear His voice calling us up and out of that grave and into his marvelous light. Join Lanie Beth as she teaches through the second half of our study in John 11, where we’ll learn about Lazarus’ resurrection and why three siblings from a small town in ancient Bethany are still more relevant than ever in 2020.   Jesus Comforts the Sisters of Lazarus 17 On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days. 18 Now Bethany was less than two miles[b] from Jerusalem, 19 and many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them in the loss of their brother.20 When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed at home. 21 “Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.” 23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” 24 Martha answered, “I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.” 25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; 26 and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” 27 “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God,who is to come into the world.” 28 After she had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary aside. “The Teacher is here,” she said, “and is asking for you.” 29 When Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to him. 30 Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him. 31 When the Jews who had been with Mary in the house, comforting her, noticed how quickly she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there. 32 When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. 34 “Where have you laid him?” he asked. “Come and see, Lord,” they replied. 35 Jesus wept. 36 Then the Jews said, “See how he loved him!” 37 But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?” Jesus Raises Lazarus From the Dead 38 Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance. 39 “Take away the stone,” he said. “But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.” 40 Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?” 41 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.” 43 When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.”   Visit our website: ourtuesday.com   Follow us on social media: Facebook Instagram Download our free Bible studies!

If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that sometimes you have to change course. Join Lanie Beth as she shifts the focus of the podcast to in-depth Bible studies — much like the scriptural teachings of the Our Tuesday gatherings. We begin this new and exciting chapter of the podcast with part 1 of a series on Lazarus and John 11. We’ll learn that it’s okay to ask questions when reading scripture — in fact, questions are an essential part of the process!   John 11 (NIV) The Death of Lazarus 11 Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. 2 (This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair.) 3 So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one you love is sick.” 4 When he heard this, Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.” 5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. 6 So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days, 7 and then he said to his disciples, “Let us go back to Judea.” 8 “But Rabbi,” they said, “a short while ago the Jews there tried to stone you,and yet you are going back?” 9 Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight? Anyone who walks in the daytime will not stumble, for they see by this world’s light. 10 It is when a person walks at night that they stumble, for they have no light.” 11 After he had said this, he went on to tell them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up.” 12 His disciples replied, “Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better.” 13 Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep. 14 So then he told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead, 15 and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.” 16 Then Thomas (also known as Didymus[a]) said to the rest of the disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with him.”   Visit our website: ourtuesday.com   Follow us on social media: Facebook Instagram Download our free Bible studies!

Optimism that isn’t grounded in substance can come across as overly-simplistic and out of touch to a grief-stricken world.

Remember how things don’t always work correctly in quarantine? Add microphones to that list.   Recovery and platform are usually pitted against one another, yet they’re actually closely linked. Everyone needs to recover from good and bad things in life — but it’s how we recover that informs what our platform looks like.   In Psalm 27, David reminds us that we can lose heart if we don’t believe that we’ll actually see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Recovery and platform are a rhythm of life that is actually extremely beneficial when we approach it with humility from a place of emotional health.   Visit our website: ourtuesday.com   Follow us on social media: Facebook Instagram Download our FREE Bible studies!

Things can go wrong quickly when we forget to set our intentions. Sometimes even something as simple as proper air fryer technique can cause conflict ... ahem … but thankfully, the Old Testament is full of examples of God's intentions for his people—from the Abrahamic Covenant to David’s prayers in Psalm 119. The way we view God’s intentions matters more than we might think.   Visit our website: ourtuesday.com   Follow us on social media: Facebook Instagram Download our free Bible studies!

Unmet and unspoken expectations can be deadly in relationships. They change frustrations into resentment—and resentment builds into seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
