Redeeming Love Bible Broadcast

Send us a textToday we look at Proverbs 10:22 and the profound truth about the nature of God's provision that many believers overlook.When Israel crossed the Jordan River, God didn't just part the waters—He completely dried the ground beneath their feet. This wasn't merely practical; it revealed God's character. He doesn't give partial blessings or halfway solutions. From creation to salvation, from feeding thousands to healing the sick, God's work is always complete.Yet many of us approach prayer with a scarcity mindset, afraid to ask boldly or expecting God's gifts to come with hidden troubles attached. We've forgotten who we're praying to—the eternal, limitless God who exists outside creation's framework while intimately working within it. The God who made you in His image, who calls you beloved, who gave His only Son for your salvation.The way we pray reveals what we believe about God. Do we trust Him as the giver of good gifts? Do we believe His blessings truly come without sorrow? When Jesus healed, He didn't leave people needing further treatment. When He fed crowds, everyone ate until satisfied with baskets left over. When He saved us, He didn't just rescue us from hell but gave us abundant life and seated us with Him in heavenly places.God delights in your bold requests that bring glory to His name. Whatever situation you're facing, He wants to walk through it with you, providing in ways that exceed your imagination and create opportunities for testimony. Your prayers don't need to be timid—approach Him confidently as a child who knows their Father gives perfectly good gifts.Contact us at redeemingthelost@icloud.com or visit gbtministries.com to share how this message has impacted you.Support the showNEW BOOK!

Send us a textThe living presence of Jesus Christ changes everything. Not as a distant concept or mere historical figure, but as an active, engaged Lord who speaks into your specific circumstances right now. When we truly grasp that Jesus is alive (not just theoretically but practically), it transforms how we approach everything. Financial stress, relational conflict, health concerns, workplace difficulties — none of these situations remain the same when we walk with the living Christ through them. He knows you better than you know yourself. Your thoughts, feelings, family dynamics, and deepest needs are completely visible to Him, and He responds not as a passive observer but as sovereign Lord.This episode explores what it means to turn toward Jesus like John did in Revelation, hearing His voice "like a trumpet" and actively beholding Him. The invitation remains clear: cast your cares upon Him because He genuinely cares for you. His yoke is easy, His burden light, and He never intended for you to walk through life's difficulties alone.Connect with us at redeemingthelost@icloud.com to share your story or request prayer.

Send us a textWhat does it truly mean to be "born again"? In this exploration of Jesus's midnight conversation with Nicodemus, we unpack one of the foundations of the Word of God.When Nicodemus, a respected Pharisee and Jewish leader, approached Jesus acknowledging Him as a teacher from God, Jesus responded with a statement that completely reframed their interaction: "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." This declaration left Nicodemus confused, trapped in a literal interpretation of rebirth that seemed biologically impossible.Jesus wasn't speaking of physical impossibilities but spiritual necessities. The Greek term for "born again" carries dual meaning – both "a second time" and "from above" – revealing that this spiritual transformation cannot originate from human effort but must come from God Himself. As Jesus explained, "That which is born of flesh is flesh, and that which is born of Spirit is spirit."This message strikes at the heart of our human condition. We cannot manufacture spiritual rebirth through religious devotion, education, behavioral modification, or any human achievement. It requires divine intervention – a miracle that transforms us at our core. Yet this isn't cause for despair but hope, for the God who requires this rebirth is the same God who delights in making it possible. Through Christ's sacrificial work on the cross, what is impossible for humanity becomes possible through God.Have you known this in your own life? Not just knowledge about God, but the life-changing miracle of being born from above? Join us as we explore what it means to trust the God who loves to save and who stands ready to perform this miracle in every heart that turns to Him in faith.Support the showNEW BOOK!

Here's something you don't always think about - sin is often expressed nicely. There are millions of people who express their sin in nice person ways. They might be really involved in church, they might give a lot of time, effort, and money within the community. They might be sweet, polite, kind, even moral. But inwardly they are still rejecting Jesus on a daily basis. There is no earning salvation.

Did you know, as Christians, we are referred to as the 'salt of the earth'? Let's look through the Gospel of Matthew to unpack the profound meaning behind this metaphor. This episode illuminates our role as believers, focusing on the powerful impact a few devout souls can have on the society and the world at large. We remind ourselves that we carry the savor of holiness, joy, peace, mercy, and truth. And how these are not just essential to our lives, but also to the Church and our world. Ever wondered about the significance of salt in the Gospel? In the Old Testament, it was used in sacrifices under the laws of Moses, symbolizing an everlasting covenant. We unravel the symbolism, and the importance of spreading the gospel and loving Jesus, so others too can find the path to salvation. As we conclude this series, we delve into soul-stirring topics like being born again and the importance of acknowledging our sins. We reflect on the questions posed by Nicodemus to Jesus and emphasize the deep significance of grace, faith, and the cleansing power of the blood of Jesus. In this discourse, we scrutinize the spiritual reality of the church, discuss potential religious hypocrisy, and our responsibilities as Christians. As we wrap up, we stress the critical task of spreading God's word globally and its potential to bring solace to people everywhere.

We continue our look at the Hosea Generation as we dive into the story of Hosea, a prophet commanded by God to marry a prostitute, reflecting on the symbolic significance of their first child, Jezreel and its connection to the Hosea generation - a group of passionate people consumed by their love for the Lord. This narrative parallels with the tale of Jehu from Second Kings, a king anointed to bring God's wrath upon Ahab's dynasty. Drawing on these ancient stories, we reflect on the evangelical mission that echoes in the lives of modern-day Christians.But our conversation doesn't stop there. We also confront a perennial confusion within Christianity - the complex relationship between faith and works. Many profess faith in Jesus outwardly yet harbor distance in their hearts. Through Proverbs, we illuminate how mercy and truth are God's tools to clear this confusion. Join us as we uncover how God invites us into a deeper understanding of faith and works, and how this wisdom will bring about a more fruitful ministry.The Redeeming Love Bible Broadcast is a ministry of Grace Baptist Tabernacle.

Join us for part 2 of our discussion on The Hosea Generation - spirit-filled believers rising up amidst division and discord. Empowered by the Holy Ghost, we bear a ministry of evangelism, offering charity, tenderness, joy, and strength to those around us. We're taking a deep look into Hosea 1:2.We live in a time fraught with willful departures from the Lord, division, and the rise of false brethren. This is not a time to cower and despair but a time to heed the message of Paul in 2nd Timothy: "Hold fast, stand firm, minister, and do the work of an evangelist." We'll discuss the importance of pursuing the Lord and walking out our belief in Him. The Redeeming Love Bible Broadcast is a ministry of Grace Baptist Tabernacle.

Is your ministry full of love, joy, and strength, even in the face of division and spiritual disarray? This episode unravels the concept of the 'Hosea Generation', mirroring the prophet Hosea's obedience and dedication to the Word of God. We spotlight how the church today, like Hosea, must be used as a vessel to reach out to those who do not know Jesus. We talk about the critical role of evangelism, preaching, witnessing, praying, and caring for physical needs. We primarily focus on how such ministries can help lead individuals toward a personal encounter with God and the Holy Spirit.As we navigate through these trying times, filled with division and spiritual confusion, we need ministries that are firmly planted in the foundation of Scripture. This episode dissects the characteristics of such ministries that are being raised in a time such as this. We discuss how God is steering a generation towards a ministry rich in charity, tenderness, joy, and strength, to reach the souls of this generation. This form of ministry may seem radical and unconventional to some, but it is essential in bringing us back to the fundamental Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Imagine a life where these two concepts are no longer at odds, but instead, harmoniously intertwined through the precious Word of Jesus and the workings of the Holy Spirit. Today, we'll break down James 4:17 as we navigate the significance of a life full of goodness according to Scripture, and not merely understanding it. From speaking the truth, and caring for our neighbors, to praying, we'll reveal just how transformative it can be to embrace and walk in the goodness of God.We push beyond knowledge and practice to explore the profound concept of being born again and living in Christ. We delve into the joy, liberation, and hope that comes with this rebirth, casting off the chains of sin and embracing a new life in righteousness. As we unravel the intricacies of living in the Spirit, you'll discover how following God's will can become an effortless expression of your love for Him and not a burdensome obligation. The Redeeming Love Bible Broadcast is a ministry of Grace Baptist Tabernacle.

Remember Matthew, the tax collector from the Bible, who completely transformed his life when he followed Jesus? That's the kind of life-altering shift we're delving into today. We examine the profound change that occurs when one chooses to answer Jesus' call, mirroring it with Matthew's divine interaction. This episode brings to light the essence of the Christian life - hearing Jesus, believing in Him, and following His path. It's an exploration of evangelism, understanding the role of the Holy Spirit in drawing people towards Jesus, and the accountability we hold in accepting or rejecting His divine call.We discuss how responding to Jesus' divine call can trigger a 'great rearranging' in our lives, irrespective of our spiritual standing. This episode is an opportunity to see the precarious decision between faith and rejection, and comprehend the transformative power of accepting Jesus' call. The Redeeming Love Bible Broadcast is a ministry of Grace Baptist Tabernacle.

Join me, Phil Duddy, as we look at Colossians in this third part of our series "A Farewell to Affliction," delving into the significance of sharing in Jesus' crucifixion. Although a challenging concept, this episode leads us toward understanding the intimate level of this sharing and how it liberates us from sin, offering a new and eternal life. Have you died with Jesus? Let's explore this pivotal question together.Let your faith be ignited as we discuss Jesus' redemption through His blood. The power of His death and resurrection has provided us with the opportunity for forgiveness and rebirth. His blood, accepted by God on our behalf, is a testament to the completeness of His work. He is seated at the right hand of the Father, and if you believe and trust in Him, His Spirit can be within you too. Listen in as we dissect these profound truths and comprehend the hope that lies in turning away from sin and being born again in Him. Be it for seasoned believers or those seeking answers, this episode promises valuable insights into transformative faith in Jesus.The Redeeming Love Bible Broadcast is a ministry of Grace Baptist Tabernacle.

What happens when we actively confront sin and choose to live under God's authority? In this episode, we look at John 8, and the crucial need to not just know the truth but to live it out. We discuss how sin owns us when we indulge in it, and how crucial it is to cooperate with God, rejecting the dominance of sin and embracing faith. Brace yourself for some tough truths about sin, shining a light on the powerful role that active faith and obedience to God's Word play in our freedom.We then pivot to unpack the profound freedom that Jesus offers us from sin and death - a liberty that doesn't give us a license to sin, but a divine commandment to lead a holy life. Delve into the numerous ways this freedom functions as divine authority, enabling us to love, follow, and obey Jesus. Don't miss the chance to understand how this freedom can radically shape your daily life and your relationship with God. And remember, our church is here for you.

John 10:10 - "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."From the beginning, the primary tactic of the demonic is deception. It is used to kill, to steal, to destroy. It steals joy, hope, peace security. Churches need to recognize that this is going on and be equipped from the Word of God to minister and deal with this. The demonic is active in this generation - that's something we can't just sit back and pretend isn't real. At least in America, it tends to work very privately, in the mind. It snatches away the Word of God. It builds up accusations. It builds up arguments against the Word of God. It builds up all these walls that insulate the person from the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Redeeming Love Bible Broadcast is a ministry of Grace Baptist Tabernacle.

This episode is being released at the same time as the "God Does It, and We Help" series - we encourage you to listen to these three episodes together, they are closely intertwined.The promise in verse 21 of Acts 2 is absolutely true. But there's something weird that happens sometimes in evangelism. People say something to the effect of  "I called on the name of the Lord, but I'm still in my sin." Or "I called on the name of the Lord, but I'm still angry and hostile." Essentially, I tried that but it didn't work. In reality, the heart and the mouth need to be in the same place. Romans tells us, "with the heart man believeth unto righteousness." If that person in their will goes with God, honestly wants Jesus as their Lord, out of their heart erupts this confession, this crying out, coming from a heart that has already believed. Then the heart and the mouth are in the same place. If the mouth is saying something but the heart is somewhere else, the Lord does not honor that. There can be no middle ground.  Acts 2:17-2117 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.The Redeeming Love Bible Broadcast is a ministry of Grace Baptist Tabernacle.

This series is being released at the same time as the "Freedom From the Torment of the Middle Ground" episode - we encourage you to listen to these three episodes together, they are closely intertwined.We're going to build upon what we were speaking about in Part 1 - casting the bread of life out upon the waters. Evangelistically, we can look at the "wind" in the verses below as the work of Satan, and the "clouds" as potential problems. The enemy doesn't want you sharing the Gospel, doing the work of Christ. He uses fear and uncertainty to discourage and silence. If you're wrapped up in the "what-ifs" of how people will respond to you as you do the work that Jesus has called you to do. If you're worried about what might happen, you'll never get around to speaking, to sharing, to actually giving people the Word of God.Ecclesiastes 11:4-64 He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.5 As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.6 In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.The Redeeming Love Bible Broadcast is a ministry of Grace Baptist Tabernacle.

This series is being released at the same time as the "Freedom From the Torment of the Middle Ground" episode - we encourage you to listen to these three episodes together, they are closely intertwined.The bread of life, Jesus Christ, the Word of God - We are called to cast this out there, whether that means to someone right in front of you or across the nation and across the world. Hallelujah, what a blessing to do so! When you give the inspired, living Word of God and someone responds in faith, responds by calling upon the name of the Lord and is born again, all of heaven rejoices! This is what God desires, and we get the immense blessing of being a part. Ecclesiastes 11:1-21 Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.2 Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth. The Redeeming Love Bible Broadcast is a ministry of Grace Baptist Tabernacle.

Part 5, the final part of our series "Rejected!" We close out our series in Matthew 11. Some of the most encouraging, authoritative, loving words ever to be spoken by Jesus Christ. We have been talking about how to walk through being rejected for the sake of the Gospel. We need to be abiding, praying, speaking, reaching out, counting it all joy. Jesus did not only walk through this first, He walks us through each moment of it. Matthew 11:28-3028 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.The Redeeming Love Bible Broadcast is a ministry of Grace Baptist Tabernacle.

Part 4 of our series "Rejected!" We build on this foundation - the love between us and Jesus is essential and must be established, set, vibrant, alive. Out of that relationship, we bear fruit, we are supported. We need to have a remembrance of who Jesus is, what He has done, the words that have been spoken of Him and by Him. Though there are going to be mockery, persecution, rejection in these last times. Jude calls us to remember what Jesus said. Today we look at how much of our ministry in these last days will be toward those who reject. Jude 1:17-2117 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.The Redeeming Love Bible Broadcast is a ministry of Grace Baptist Tabernacle.

Part 3 of our series "Rejected!" There has got to be a mutual love between you and Jesus Christ. That's Biblical, it's what God wants for us, and it's critical as we walk through someone rejecting us because we share the Gospel or minister to someone. There comes a point where someone may curse you, be angry at you, yell at you because you preach the Gospel. How are you going to "count" in that situation as Paul does in the verses below? Philippians 3:7-8But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ...The Redeeming Love Bible Broadcast is a ministry of Grace Baptist Tabernacle.

Part 2 of our series "Rejected!" The relationship of love between us and Jesus is absolutely foundational. The obedience that naturally flows from someone who loves the living God is foundational. It's never about obligation, it's natural to someone who loves Jesus, and when you encounter rejection along the way, the love relationship with Jesus stands strong and even becomes stronger.John 15:13-1513 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.The Redeeming Love Bible Broadcast is a ministry of Grace Baptist Tabernacle.

As you go about in any sort of ministry capacity, sharing the Gospel, witnessing, any occasion when you are reaching out and bringing people to Jesus, what do you do with the inevitable rejection? The Word of God gives us answers for this. Abiding in Christ is absolutely critical as you do any evangelistic work. Jesus is the foundation for everything. John 15:1-8I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.The Redeeming Love Bible Broadcast is a ministry of Grace Baptist Tabernacle.

John 6:60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?There is quite a lot said in the Bible that would be considered to be "hard." Jesus said, "My yoke is easy and my burden is light." Anything other than this is a result of sinful nature. We can see the mercy, love, and goodness of God in action throughout all of Scripture, through everything Jesus did. The foundation of all of this is His holy love. This is not hard, rough, harsh, difficult. The Redeeming Love Bible Broadcast is a ministry of Grace Baptist Tabernacle.

There's a whole lot of fear associated with evangelism, and that's from the devil. It is Christ's desire that people hear the Gospel. Those that hear that Gospel may reject it, but they are not rejecting you, they are rejecting Jesus. He's not going to leave the church with the word to "go and make disciples of all nations" and not give the peace, and the equipping, and the resources to do that. Revelation 1:17-18And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: 18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.The Redeeming Love Bible Broadcast is a ministry of Grace Baptist Tabernacle.

God is alive, He speaks, and we must not refuse Him that speaketh. God is something other than a set of logical propositions, He is something other than a narrative assembled across centuries. He is alive today and He speaks!Hebrews 12:18-26For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.The Redeeming Love Bible Broadcast is a ministry of Grace Baptist Tabernacle.

Is the desire of your heart as a Christian, and the desire of your church "Oh that men would praise the Lord!" How deep the list of the wonderful works of God! By Him and through Him are all things. He shows His wonderful works every single day. Today, we look at this particular work - "Satisfying the longing soul and filling the hungry soul with goodness."8 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.13 Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.The Redeeming Love Bible Broadcast is a ministry of Grace Baptist Tabernacle.

We begin a short series out of Psalm 107 and talk about how the Lord Jesus brings salvation. His goodness and mercy make salvation possible, because it is the will of God to reconcile, the will of God to redeem. It's God's heart to redeem, in response to sin, in response to rejection, in response to hatred, His mercy is still upon His enemies. O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.6 Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.The Redeeming Love Bible Broadcast is a ministry of Grace Baptist Tabernacle.

Psalm 90:1-2Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.God has moved in the past, God is moving in the present, and we will see Him continue to move in the future. There has been a passing from one generation to another of the precious Gospel of Jesus Christ. And there's a real ministry when someone from an elder generation is able to pass on, pour into, and disciple a younger generation. There's something special about that in the Lord, and if you don't have that, you need that. If the Lord tarries, we must be that for the generation after us. 

Let's talk about the mind, specifically from the book of Romans.God does not want you to be brainwashed. God does not want you to be a mindless puppet. God does not want you to be a soulless, spiritless, emotionless, dead machine. Romans 12:1-2I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Today, we continue in Romans 10, looking at verses 14 and 15:"How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!"God not only desires that all men come to repentance, He made that possible. 

You don't have to do a lot of religious ritual to find Jesus. God has given every human being a measure of faith - the ability to believe on Him unto salvation, the ability to hear the Gospel, to be drawn by God, and to respond with belief. Romans says "Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." God has given this gift to humanity. There's so much confusion around getting the words right, getting the ritual right, how many times you pray, how you pray. It's not about where you are or how you hear... When Jesus is being preached it's about what is going on in your heart. If the mouth says "I believe Jesus" but the heart says "I don't believe Jesus," there is not salvation.
