Send us a textIn the shadowed halls of Christendom's earliest centuries, when mighty empires clashed and heresies threatened the very foundations of our faith, a singular voice rose above the din—a voice that would echo through the ages for all who cherish the tangible beauty of our Catholic spiritual heritage. That voice belonged to Saint John Damascene. Known as the steadfast Defender of Icons and a luminous Champion of Incarnational Worship, his fearless testimony helped safeguard the truths that we hold dear, touching not just theologians and clergy, but countless faithful who draw strength and inspiration from the living witness of the saints.At Journeys of Faith, we honor torchbearers like Saint John Damascene, recognizing how powerfully their teachings ripple into our own pilgrimage of faith. Born into a world of political upheaval and religious persecution, John's unwavering love for the Church and the Eucharist became a beacon, guiding the faithful through turbulent storms. He stood resilient against iconoclasts, those who sought to strip Christian worship of its sacred images and incarnational intimacy. Saint John understood that to venerate an icon is not idolatry, but an act of faith—rooted deeply in the mystery of the Incarnation, where God took on flesh and dwelt among us.As Catholic evangelizers, inheritors of a tradition rich with Eucharistic miracles and the radiant examples of the saints, we are called to the same courage and clarity. Through the lens of Saint John Damascene's life and legacy, let us journey together—One Heart, One Mind, One Spirit, With One Vision!—to rediscover the profound beauty of our faith and the essential role that holy images play in drawing us ever closer to Christ.Saint John Damascene CollectionOpen by Steve Bailey Support the showJourneys of Faith brings your Super Saints Podcasts ***Our Core Beliefs*** The Eucharist is the Source and Summit of our Faith."

The prayers of Paul often stir us–not because of what he prays, but what is absent in his prayers. In this prayer, Paul challenges us to seek a God glorifying demeanor amid all of our circumstances. 

Who is the God you serve? Each of us is tempted to ignore the whole reality of who God is, as displayed in Scripture. It is easy for us to focus on the attributes of God that make us feel good and comfortable. In this passage, Paul challenges the Thessalonians to behold their God in his fullness. 

Paul, Silas, and Timothy greet the church in Thessalonica in the grace and peace that comes from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. They give thanks to God for the faith, love, and hope He has given to the Thessalonians. This fruit was produced among them by the Gospel, so that they imitated the Lord Jesus and the apostles as they suffered with great joy. This set an example to Christians throughout the world, as they remembered how the Thessalonians turned away from idols to serve the living God, who has given us Jesus and saved us from the wrath to come.  Rev. Jeff Hemmer, pastor at Bethany Lutheran Church in Fairview Heights, IL, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10.  To learn more about Bethany Lutheran, visit bethanylcms.org. “Yearning for the Day of Christ's Returning” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that studies St. Paul's two epistles to the Thessalonians. Although Paul's time in Thessalonica was brief, he had great affection for the Christians there. His two letters to the Thessalonians show us the joy that God gives us together in the Church and encourage us to live faithfully in expectation of Jesus' coming on the Last Day.  Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

"May the word of the LORD ring out from you to people everywhere, for wherever we go, we find people telling us about your faith in God. ...they speak of how you are looking forward to the coming of God's son from heaven - Jesus, whom God raised from the dead. He is the one who has rescued us..." 1 Thessalonians 1:8-10 There is no greater HOPE to be found than that of a promised King and Redeemer. Come, LORD Jesus!

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to another episode of the Daily Radio Bible! On this November 28th edition, Hunter warmly invites us to journey together through the Scriptures on day 333 of the Bible reading plan. In today's episode, we find encouragement in the powerful resurrection account from Matthew 28 and receive wisdom and comfort through the first three chapters of First Thessalonians. Hunter guides us through these impactful passages, highlighting the hope, love, and joy found in Christ, and closes with heartfelt prayers for overflowing love, strength, and gratitude. Whether you're gathering around God's Word for insight, comfort, or daily encouragement, this episode is a reminder that you are not alone—God is with you, and you are deeply loved. So grab your Bible, find a quiet spot, and join Hunter for a time of reflection, prayer, and gratitude on this beautiful day. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Grow and overflow in love. That's the prayer that is being prayed over us today in 1 Thessalonians. "May the Lord make your love for one another and for all people grow and overflow." That's the kind of heart God is seeking to cultivate in us: a heart blazing with his abundant love, pouring out not just for some but for all. And the result of this overflowing love is that we are made strong, blameless, and holy, able to stand before God our Father when our Lord Jesus comes again. But how do we get there? Hunter reminds us: it's only by our union with Christ. It is his life in us—the Living Word—who alone can grow that kind of heart. He alone can strengthen us, make us blameless and holy, because he is the source of such love and the one who holds the words of life. That's who you are now: strong, blameless, holy, because you are found in Christ. So live into that reality today. Agree with it. Say amen to it. Let your heart rise into his love. Let this prayer echo in your own soul, for your family, for your loved ones, and for all who cross your path: that God's love would grow and overflow, making hearts strong, blameless, and holy, all by the power and presence of Christ dwelling within us. Let's let this prayer shape the way we see ourselves and one another. May gratitude fill our days, may the joy of the Lord be our strength, and may we never forget this: you are loved. That's the prayer for my soul, for my 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. 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

He addressed the crowd in a loud voice saying that it was because of the hope of the resurrection from the dead that he was on trial. And at that, the crowd became divided, the Pharisees and Sadducees broke out into an argument so fierce that once again the judge had to send men to rescue Paul.

On his second missionary journey recorded in Acts, Paul stopped in the port city of Thessalonica, preached in the synagogue, and a church formed in the city. In just a few short weeks, a riot began, and Paul was forced to leave the fledgling church body. Here in today's passage, Paul attempts to answer some unresolved questions that they have covering an array of topics. Though they had some misunderstandings, overall, they appear to be a faithful, God-fearing church, laboring side-by-side while looking for the Lord's return.1 Thessalonians 1 - 1:09 . 1 Thessalonians 2 - 2:58 . 1 Thessalonians 3 - 7:43 . 1 Thessalonians 4 - 9:51 . 1 Thessalonians 5 - 12:56 . Isaiah 46 - 16:49 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by Bobby Brown, Katelyn Pridgen, Eric Williamson & the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

1 Thessalonians 5v18 - "give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."Thankfulness is not just a reaction to something good. It is a disposition of life

Send us a textWhat if belonging could heal fragmentation? We turn to Mystici Corporis Christi, Pope Pius XII's 1943 encyclical, to rediscover the Church as a living body where Christ is the head, the Holy Spirit is the soul, and every baptized person shares real dignity and purpose. This is not abstract theology—it's a map for identity, unity, and hope when the world feels pulled apart.We unpack how the encyclical reframes the Church from an institution into a communion of life. Christ continues his saving work—teaching, healing, sanctifying—through the members of his Body, and the Spirit powers every movement toward holiness and charity. That vision bridges the divide between spiritual life and everyday life, calling us to bring prayer into work, compassion into conflict, and integrity into public witness. We highlight why no vocation is second-class, how hidden sacrifices strengthen the whole, and where personal gifts meet the needs of the community.Against the backdrop of World War II and the dehumanizing ideologies it spawned, this teaching affirmed the equal dignity of every person and called the faithful to resist any system that divides or devalues. We connect that courage to today's challenges: polarization, anxiety, and competing identities. Practical steps emerge—seeing others first as brothers and sisters, suffering with those who suffer, rejoicing with those who rejoice, and letting the Eucharist anchor our unity. The goal is simple and demanding: become living members who allow Christ to live his mercy through us.If you're longing for a faith that feels embodied, relational, and mission-driven, this conversation offers a clear path forward.

1 Thessalonians 5:12-28

Nehemiah 4 tells of the mockery that comes from the Jews' enemies in an attempt to discourage them from the work of building the wall. Nehemiah makes it a matter of prayer to his God. Likewise, the people of the LORD were not diverted from the work. The enemies next threaten sabotage and open attack upon the rebuilding work. This too fails because of Nehemiah's diligence and the measures he takes for constant surveillance and the protection of the builders. Nehemiah places each family working on the wall directly in front of their home. Each worker works with a weapon in one hand.Hosea 14 tells of a plea to Israel to return to Yahweh. The nation needs to consider why they had been smitten and to find suitable words to request God's healing and forgiveness. Then the Almighty's anger will be turned away. In poetic language the prophet describes how blessings will return to Israel. In forsaking idolatry and learning the just and upright ways of Yahweh the faithful will thrive and experience the bountiful blessings of our Lord Jesus Christ's coming kingdom.1 Thessalonians 3verses1-5 Paul tells us of the sufferings that the Apostle experienced in Athens. Next Paul informs his readers of the great encouragement and comfort that Timothy brings him; and it is the news of the Thessalonians' magnificent response to the gospel. Note how the chapter finishes - read aloud verses 12-13 and pause, and ponder. Chapter 4 speaks of how pleased God and Paul are with the way that the believers are living their lives as a witness to their faith and to their trust in God and His Son. The love the Macedonian believers show to each other is evidence that they have learned what God's Word teaches. They needed to keep working until the Lord Jesus' return. These believers did, however, have a wrong view about the order of events after the Lord's return. The living believers will have no time advantage over those faithful who had fallen asleep in Christ i.e. died. Verses 13-18 describe what happens at Christ's return to the earth. Jesus will come with angels and the trumpet of God (1 Corinthians 15verses52-53). Those believers who are alive when he comes will be caught up together with those believers who have been raised from the dead, into a great cloud of witnesses (see Hebrews 12verses1- 2). These believers will be caught into the air i.e. aerial, in the sense that, together with their Lord Jesus Christ, they will be the rulers (or those elevated to be in authority) over the people of the earth - i.e. the subjects of that coming kingdom. What a comfort to those who are now suffering persecution.Thanks for joining us - we pray you found these comments helpful in your appreciation of God's words, join again tomorrow

Nehemiah 3 tells the readers of Judah's consecrating of the gates and the rebuilding of the wall. It contains lists of who built, and why they built. All classes from professional craftsmen (goldsmiths) to common labourers worked - including the high priest Eliashib and his 5 daughters. Sadly, it also listed some, such as the nobles of the Tekoites, who to their shame failed to become involved in the building of the wall.Hosea 13 tells of the LORD's relentless watching over Israel (v7) "like a leopard by the way". Their idolatry would be visited with chastisement, as of a devouring lion. The king they sought in their beginnings - Saul was given by God in His anger and taken away in His wrath. The same remained true for every king from Israel (the northern kingdom). However, the loving kindness of Yahweh is stated in verse 14, which is cited with regards to the blessings of the resurrection in 1 Corinthians 15verses54-55. But for the time being their discipline remained a necessity.Paul's first visit to the Thessalonians (in Macedonia) was perhaps around 51 AD. The letter commenced with "grace" (Greek ‘charis' - love) and "peace" (Hebrew ‘shalom' - wholeness, or peace), which come from God, our Father. As a group of Christian believers, the Macedonians were severely persecuted, like their fellow Jewish believers in Judea - many of them being put to death for their beliefs. The Thessalonians were, however, extremely generous in financially contributing to Paul's preaching - especially the Philippians. The central message of both letters is the second coming of Jesus Christ to set up the kingdom of God on earth. Every chapter of both letters refers to this - some chapters containing several references (in the Bible we find over 500 references to the second coming of Jesus Christ). Their love and labours for the Truth were exemplary to all believers. Note verse 9 refers to their belief in "the Living God" and cites not only the verse in Jeremiah 10verses10, but the whole context of Jeremiah 10 was relevant to the situation of the Thessalonian believers. Chapter 2 speaks of the love of Paul, Silas, Timothy and Titus among them. Interestingly the name Titus means "nurse", or "rearer". Paul worked to support his companions' needs and for the preaching of the gospel. The Apostle commends the believers for their patience in suffering persecution. Finally, he expresses a desire to see them again and says that in the day of Christ's coming their acceptance of the gospel would be his victor's crown (Greek 'stephanos').Thanks for joining us - we pray you found these comments helpful in your appreciation of God's words, join again tomorrow
