TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where we journey together each day through the Scriptures. In today's episode, Hunter guides us through dramatic moments from Isaiah 36 and 37, revealing the challenges faced by King Hezekiah as the Assyrian army threatens Jerusalem. We'll also reflect on the hope and triumph found in Psalm 76, and discover the message of enduring faith and joy in trials from First Peter chapter one. Join Hunter as he encourages us to trust in God's faithfulness through the hard seasons, find joy beyond our trials, and root our lives in the life-giving Word. Settle in for a time of scripture, reflection, and prayer as we renew our hearts in God's presence today. TODAY'S DEVOTION: There are trials ahead, but there is strength for the trial and joy beyond that. First Peter 1:6 says, so be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while. Trials are certain, and sometimes the little while doesn't seem that little. We all go through trials. No one is exempt. We all face hard times, really hard times. We've all gone through a pandemic, for crying out loud. And yet our hope lies in the promise of hope and even joy beyond that. Unfortunately for many of us, the trials of this life can lead to despair and defeat. The walls of our souls begin to crumble under the weight. Hezekiah was tempted to crumble in fear, to accept defeat. He could see the circumstances and the outcomes of all those other kingdoms. They had crumbled when facing the overwhelming terror of the Assyrian king and his armies. But instead of crumbling, Hezekiah turned to God. He didn't go to Egypt for help. He didn't try to manipulate his way out by surrendering or offering some tribute. He didn't give in to despair. No. Instead he trusted God, and God gave him the victory. But that victory took some time. Isaiah told him that it would take three years, but to hold on because there would be joy ahead. He let him know that the first year would be hard, very lean. The people would eat only what grows up by itself. The second year it would be a little easier. They would eat what sprang up from the first growth. But in the third year, they would see a breakthrough. In that third year, they would plant crops and harvest them. They would tend vineyards and eat their fruit. And those who escaped the ravages of the siege, who endured the hard times and had gone through the trials, would put roots down in their own soil. They would grow and flourish. There it is. We're all going to go through hard times, but there's strength available in the trials. And beyond that, there's joy. It may take some time. It may take a season or several seasons, but if we lay out our hearts before God and trust him, we can find the strength we need. If we believe him that these trials are for a season, then we can find joy. Our roots will grow down into the soil of his faithfulness, and we will flourish. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my sons. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where we journey through scripture together, exploring its relevance and hope for our daily lives. On this 22nd day of July, join Hunter, your Bible reading coach, as we read from Isaiah 36 and 37, Psalm 76, and 1 Peter 1. Today's episode takes us through the dramatic threats against Jerusalem, Hezekiah's prayerful response in the face of overwhelming odds, and God's miraculous deliverance. We'll reflect on finding strength amid trials and discover encouragement from Peter's letter, reminding us that even in challenging seasons, joy and the unshakable love of God await all who trust in Him. Settle in as we seek wisdom, comfort, and renewal for our souls together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: There are trials ahead, but there is strength for the trials, and joy beyond it. reflects on the certainty that we all face hard times—none are exempt, as life brings us troubles, losses, even seasons when God's presence feels distant or absent. In these moments, the natural response is to despair, to feel the weight of circumstances pressing in. The soul, like the walls around Jerusalem, can feel as though it's crumbling. But the stories in today's readings remind us: when trials come, we are not left without hope. Hezekiah, faced with threats and overwhelming odds, did not turn to alliances or manipulations, or give in to fear. Instead, he turned to God—laying before him the great burdens, the threats, and the uncertainties. He waited, and trusted, even as the temptation to abandon hope was real and strong. The word through Isaiah came: the victory would come, but it would take time. It would be a process. The first year would be lean, on the edge of survival; the second, a bit easier, and then, in the third year, flourishing would come—roots would go down deep, and those who endured would see the fruitfulness and restoration of God. This is a pattern for us as well—trials are for a season, even when that season feels long. If we trust God in the waiting, letting Him carry our burdens, turning our hearts to Him instead of away, we find the strength we need for today—and the joy that is promised for tomorrow. points out that it's easy for despair to have the loudest voice in the face of hardship. Yet the invitation from God is to let our roots grow down in the soil of His faithfulness—a reminder that even in seasons of suffering or confusion, God's love and presence are not removed from us. Like David addressed his own soul in the Psalms—Why so downcast, O my soul? Have faith in God—we are invited to speak truth to our own hearts, to keep showing up, opening ourselves again to God's promises. Living in this way forms and shapes us. It makes us resilient, able to flourish in whatever season comes, anchored in God's steadfast love and faithfulness. This is the prayer for today: that our souls would receive strength for today's trial, and have hope for the joy to come. That even in our emptiness, surrender, and weakness, we are being filled, strengthened, and united with Christ, where our true joy is found. That's a prayer has for his soul, for his family, and for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near.

Summary In this sermon from 1 Peter 1:3–5, Dr. Michael Easley reminds believers that their confidence rests not in their circumstances but in God's finished work. Writing to Christians scattered by persecution, Peter calls them to remember two unshakable truths: what God has done and what God has given. God, according to His great mercy, caused believers to be born again into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Salvation is not something we achieve or earn. It begins with God's initiative, His mercy, and His sovereign grace. Because Christ conquered death, Christians possess a hope that is certain, alive, and anchored in eternity. Peter then points to the believer's inheritance. Unlike earthly possessions that rust, fade, or lose value, the inheritance waiting for God's children is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading. It is reserved in heaven and guarded by God's own power. Nothing can diminish what God has prepared for those who belong to Him. While life in this world often includes suffering, uncertainty, and disappointment, believers can live with confidence because their future is secure. Christians are not defined by temporary trials but by an eternal inheritance purchased through Christ. Remembering God's mercy, living hope, and promised inheritance produces gratitude, perseverance, and unwavering confidence in every season. Takeaways Salvation begins with God's mercy, not human effort or personal achievement. Because Christ rose from the dead, believers have a living hope that cannot be shaken. The Christian's inheritance is eternal, imperishable, undefiled, and reserved in heaven. God not only secures our salvation but also guards our future by His power. Earthly possessions lose value, but the inheritance found in Christ lasts forever. Remembering what God has done and what He has promised gives believers confidence to endure suffering.

Our first study on 1 Peter! I hope you will stick with me all the way through 11 Peter!Do you ever worry or fret? Do you ever get scared or anxious? God has given us a bottom line foundation so we never have to do any of that. Peter has written a letter to forewarn a group of Christians in the Turkey area that times are going to get rough. But in that God has already prepared them to be able to manage all the persecution with joy.For you as a Christainl, God has also prepared you for anything and everything ahead of you so you can be full of joy no matter what. Take a listen.

Peter presents the Christian life as custom masonry. He paints a picture of believers as living stones -- shaped by pressure, fitted by grace, and assembled with purpose. Horizon's facility echoes this image; its fieldstone exterior emphasizes that suffering is not waste but craftsmanship. As Christ-followers, our faith is built on Christ the Cornerstone, who creates us as his “Bespoke Stonework.” Join Horizon at the Equipping Services for this verse-by-verse study of 1 Peter, as we understand ourselves to be God's intentional, hand-hewn formations.

Summary In this message from 1 Peter 1:1–2, Michael Easley explores the believer's identity as chosen exiles living in a world that is not their home. Peter reminds suffering Christians that their salvation rests entirely on God's initiative, not human effort. Easley focuses on three key prepositional phrases that explain God's saving work: according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, and for obedience to Jesus Christ and sprinkling by His blood. God's foreknowledge is not merely awareness of future choices. It is His loving and sovereign purpose established before the foundation of the world. The same God who chose Christ for the work of redemption has chosen believers according to His gracious plan. The Holy Spirit continues that work through sanctification, gradually transforming believers into the image of Christ. Spiritual growth is not instant, but a lifelong process marked by renewed minds and increasing Christlikeness. Peter's final phrase points to the blood of Christ, which secures salvation and enables faithful obedience. Obedience is not a means of earning God's favor but the natural response of those who love Him. For Christians facing hardship, Peter's message offers deep comfort: you can never overestimate the greatness of your salvation. God's choosing, God's sanctifying work, and Christ's sacrifice guarantee that His people are secure in Him. Takeaways God's foreknowledge is His sovereign and loving choice, not merely His awareness of future human decisions. Salvation begins with God's initiative and is accomplished entirely through His grace. The Holy Spirit sanctifies believers by progressively transforming them into the likeness of Christ. Faith and obedience belong together because genuine love for Christ produces a desire to obey Him. Christians are exiles in this world and must remember that their true home is with Christ. No hardship, suffering, or earthly struggle can diminish the grandeur of the salvation God has provided. To read 1 Peter, click here. Click here for other Michael Easley Sermons.

1 Peter 1:1-2 by Pastor Will Cass

We Are Exiles 1 Peter 1:1-2 Pastor Caleb Batchelor July 12, 2026

Michael Easley begins this series on 1 Peter by introducing the letter as a guide for believers who face suffering because of their faith. While most Christians in America do not experience direct persecution, Peter's message offers timeless encouragement for anyone walking through hardship. The central call of the letter is simple: stand firm. This sermon explores the historical setting of 1 Peter, written during growing hostility toward Christians under Roman rule. Peter reminds believers that they are strangers in this world, chosen by God and living with a greater hope than their present circumstances. Michael highlights five major themes running throughout the book: the Trinity, God's work in salvation, the Old Testament as a Christian story pointing to Christ, the necessity of Christian obedience, and faithful endurance through suffering. He also unpacks 1 Peter 3:18, showing how Christ's once-for-all sacrifice secured salvation through His substitutionary death, bringing sinners into a restored relationship with God. Finally, the introduction reminds believers that this world is not their home. Christians are scattered throughout the world for God's purposes while longing for their true citizenship in heaven. No matter the trial, Peter's opening message is one of confidence and hope: God chose His people, God sustains His people, and God will bring them safely home. Takeaways 1 Peter was written to encourage believers to stand firm while suffering for the sake of Christ. Salvation begins with God's initiative, reminding Christians that they are chosen entirely by His grace. The Old Testament consistently points forward to Christ and finds its fulfillment in the gospel. Genuine faith is demonstrated through holy obedience, not merely intellectual belief. Christ's once-for-all sacrifice completely accomplished what the Old Testament sacrificial system never could. Christians are temporary residents on earth, living with hope because their true citizenship is in heaven. To read 1 Peter, click here. Click here for other Michael Easley Sermons.

In a world filled with suffering, loss, disappointment, and uncertainty, one question inevitably arises: Why does God allow His children to endure trials? In this message from 1 Peter 1:6–9, Pastor Randy explores Peter's powerful answer to that question. Rather than viewing trials as meaningless hardships, Peter reveals that God uses them to refine our faith, deepen our trust in Christ, and prepare us for the glory that awaits every believer. Discover how genuine joy can exist alongside real grief, why our faith is more precious than gold, and how God uses even life's most difficult seasons to accomplish His eternal purposes. If you're walking through a difficult time or simply want a deeper understanding of God's purpose in suffering, this encouraging study will strengthen your faith, renew your hope, and remind you to keep your eyes fixed on Christ and the glorious future He has promised.

Joshua Cross | Born-again Christians are guarded by God's intrinsic power, an ongoing act of preservation rather than human perseverance, assuring them of their imperishable heavenly inheritance amid earthly persecution. This guarding happens through genuine saving faith in Christ — a gift from God and the conduit of His power — which must produce the fruit of the Spirit as evidence, steering clear of both self-reliant works and shallow easy-believism.

Message Take Aways:1. Our new life in Christ is to be marked by change as we lay aside old habits and pursue maturity in the Lord—“When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.” 1 Corinthians 13:112. The Church is established and sustained by Jesus Christ, the Chief Cornerstone, through His completed work—“This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.' Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:11-12 3. As God's chosen people, we are to conduct ourselves in holiness as a testimony to our new identity in Christ—“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17
