RUNDOWN   Mitch and Hotshot Scott react in real time to the Seahawks' thrilling NFC Championship victory over the Rams and the surreal reality of Seattle heading to Super Bowl 60 as betting favorites. They reflect on preseason expectations, the emotional weight of surviving the Rams for a third time, and why this team feels like it's peaking at exactly the right moment. The segment also veers into classic Mitch Unfiltered trivia, from Alberta, Canada connections to Michael J. Fox and iconic musicians, before setting the table for a Super Bowl-centric week ahead. Ray Roberts breaks down why the Seahawks' NFC Championship victory over the Rams wasn't luck, but proof of a fully connected, resilient team built to withstand chaos and pressure. He explains how Seattle survived defensive breakdowns, Riq Woolen's near-disastrous penalty, and Matthew Stafford's efficiency by leaning on internal leadership, timely stops, and Sam Darnold's poise in the biggest game of his career. Brady Henderson and Jacson Bevens break down how the Seahawks survived another wild showdown with the Rams, praising Mike Macdonald's evolving brilliance and the team's collective resilience under pressure. The discussion highlights Sam Darnold's career-defining performance, late-game heroics from Devin Witherspoon and Nick Emmanwori, and the near-disastrous Riq Woolen penalty that could've changed Seattle sports history. Rick Neuheisel breaks down Indiana's shocking national championship run, explaining why Kurt Cignetti's rapid rebuild deserves historic praise despite the modern NIL and transfer landscape. He details how elite evaluation, culture, and buy-in — including key James Madison transfers — powered wins over Ohio State, Alabama, Oregon, and Miami, culminating in a defining performance by Fernando Mendoza.   GUESTS   Ray Roberts | Former NFL offensive lineman and Seahawks analyst Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion, Head Coach Dallas Renegades (UFL)   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Unbelievable Is an Understatement — Seahawks Punch Ticket to Super Bowl 60 14:15 | The Retribution Tour Rolls On — Why the Seahawks Match Up Perfectly With the Patriots 33:55 | GUEST: Ray Roberts; The Best Team Won — Why This Seahawks Run Feels Different 54:10 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Brilliance Becoming Greatness — Seahawks Survive Chaos and Punch Super Bowl Ticket 1:16:44 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; Worst to First — How Indiana Pulled Off the Most Unlikely Title Run in College Football History 1:41:47 | Other Stuff Segment: Baseball Hall of Fame voting frustration, Bryce Miller's 2024 bounce-back potential, Mariners acquiring Cooper Criswell from the Mets, Mike McCarthy returning to coach the Pittsburgh Steelers, NIL contract dispute involving Duke quarterback Darien Mensa, NIL legality and transfer portal implications, Abella Danger shown during Miami Hurricanes playoff broadcast, Chipotle publicity from Kurt Cignetti's "I Win Bowl," Chipotle rewards points story tied to Indiana football staffer, Fernando Mendoza championship celebration in Miami, ABBA's "Fernando" becoming Indiana's anthem, restrained Indiana fan behavior after national title win RIPs: Francis Buchholz (Scorpions bassist), John Brodie (former 49ers quarterback and NFL MVP), Jim Lovell (Apollo 13 commander) HEADLINES: Pet cow in Austria uses broom as a scratching tool, hearse spotted ordering food in a McDonald's drive-thru, man arrested for doing Corvette donuts in a church parking lot to impress a date, research suggests possible link between nose picking and Alzheimer's

We start by talking about “songs that are factually incorrect”, with artists like U2, Alanis, Journey, Fleetwood Mac, Toto, ABBA and Pitbull being taken to task. Christopher and Tom have a ton of fun ranting about these “egregious” errors. Speaking of U2, we feature at 1985 interview with bassist Adam Clayton as he and his mates come to grips with the growing popularity of the band. Adam talks about playing for screaming fans (not ideal) and comparisons between U2 and Bruce Springsteen. The remainder of the episode includes other artists from the ‘80s. Some highlights: Ian Astbury of The Cult talks about spending five years of his youth in Canada – and how he didn’t much care for it. Brian Ferry of Roxy Music discusses the importance of solo work Roland Gift talks about Fine Young Cannibals and his acting career Montreal’s The Box discuss marrying politics and music And we try to find at least ONE interesting moment in what could be the most boring interview in our archives… Famous Lost Words, hosted by Christopher Ward and Tom Jokic, is heard in more than 100 countries worldwide and on radio stations across Canada, including Newstalk 1010 Toronto, CJAD 800 Montreal, 580 CFRA Ottawa, AM 800 CKLW Windsor, 610 CKTB St Catharines, CFAX Victoria and 91x in Belleville.

In part two of this conversation, Dot and Cara move from theology to everyday life, asking how being a child of God actually changes our normal, everyday lives. They talk honestly about how remembering who we belong to reshapes the way we pray, trust, forgive, and walk through hard moments. This episode is an invitation to let the truth of spiritual adoption move from your head to your heart.

(2:08)We have to move this truth from our heads to our hearts (5:06) Remembering this truth gives us confidence and allows us to forgive (9:06)Claiming this truth in the middle of our day relieves fear and anxiety (11:41)Being a child of God means security and eternal protection (13:20)This becomes your reality as you apply it daily (19:56)Are you interested in having Dot come and speak to your community?

Father!” The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.”

Ephesians 5:1-21Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. 2 And walk in love, asChrist also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrificeto God for a sweet-smelling aroma.Today we are looking at Ephesians 5:1-2, where the Apostle Paul gives us theclear admonition to walk in love. Also in in these two verses, Paul also givesus several reasons why we should walk in love. First, he tells us in verse 1 to“be imitators of God as dear children.” As the children of God, we areto be reflectors of who He is. God is love, and therefore we should reflectthat love—the love God has for us and for the world around us. Themost quoted verse in the Bible, one we all know so well, tells us: “For Godso loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son.” God is a lovingGod, and because He is love, He is also a God who gives. As His children, weare called to love and to give of ourselves sacrificially for His glory. Ilove the phrase Paul uses here, “as dear children.” Sometranslations say, “as beloved children.” Remember, at least twicein the Gospel of Matthew, the Father speaks from heaven and declares His lovefor His Son. At the baptism of Jesus in Matthew chapter 3, and again on theMount of Transfiguration in Matthew chapter 17, God says, “This is Mybeloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Nowthink about this—we too are His beloved children. 1 John 3:1–3, tells us, “Beholdwhat manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be calledchildren of God.” In Romans chapter 8, we are told that we cry out, “Abba,Father.” We have an intimate, personal relationship with our Father inheaven. Because of that relationship, and as proof of it, we should desire toshow forth His love to the world around us as imitators of God and as Hisbeloved children. Ialso think about what Jesus prayed in John 17:23. He said, “I in them, andYou in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may knowthat You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.”Jesus prayed and said, “Father, just as You have loved Me, You love them.”Can you imagine that? Jesus is the beloved Son of God, and He tells us that theFather loves us in the same way He loves Him. How much does God love you? Heloves you with the same love He has for His beloved Son—whom He gave as asacrifice for the sins of the world. So,we see several reasons here for walking in love. We are children of God. Weshare in His nature, and His nature is love. We are beloved children who desireto please our Father in heaven. We cry out, “Abba, Father.” And then we see athird reason in verse 2: “Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us,an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.” Thisphrase, “a sweet-smelling aroma,” is very meaningful. Our reflection ofChrist's love is pleasing to God—it rises as a sweet fragrance before Him. Inthe book of Leviticus, chapters 1 through 3 describe the three sweet savorofferings: the burnt offering, the meal offering, and the peace offering. Theburnt offering pictures Christ's complete devotion to God. The meal offeringreflects His perfect character. The peace offering shows Christ making peacebetween sinful man and a holy God. Thesin offering and the trespass offering, found in Leviticus chapters 4 and 5,are not sweet savor offerings. Why? Because sin is not sweet or beautiful. Sinis what put Christ on the cross. Sin is what condemned us and would send us toa devil's hell apart from Christ.  Oh,my friend, today let us remember who we are. We are dear children ofGod—beloved children—loved with an unimaginable, unconditional, selfless love.Therefore, let us walk in love as “His beloved children” Godbless you and may you have a wonderful, wonderful day.

On the illusion (yes!) that life is rushing past us and the feeling that time is, in the words of Meryl Streep (& ABBA), slipping through our fingers. Just a friendly, start-of-the-year reminder that you have time (in fact, decades worth of it) and there's things you can do to make it run on 1x speed again. | Instagram ⁠⁠⁠| ⁠⁠⁠Substack ⁠⁠⁠| ⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠

What does it actually mean to be a child of God, and why does that understanding matter so much? In this first part of a two-part conversation, Dot and Cara dig into the theology behind spiritual adoption and identity, unpacking what Scripture teaches about being welcomed into God's family. They explore the difference between being created by God and being a child of God, and why understanding that distinction brings security, freedom, and peace.

Father!” The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.”

“‘Abba, Father,’ he cried out, ‘everything is possible for you. Please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.’” (Mark 14:36 NLT) Mark 14 describes what may be the darkest night of the soul in human history. Jesus was “deeply troubled and distressed” (verse 33 NLT) because He knew the “awful hour” (verse 35 NLT) of His suffering was approaching. Jesus knew that in a very short time He would be denied by one of His closest friends. He knew that He would be the object of Peter’s shame and the cause of his cursing. He knew that He would be rejected by the people of Israel whom He came to save. He knew that His disciple Judas would betray Him with a kiss. He knew that the rest of His disciples would scatter in fear. He knew that He would be tried in a kangaroo court, falsely accused, and convicted. He understood the sheer torture of what He was about to do—that is, to take all the impurity, sin, and wickedness of humanity upon Himself. He who was righteous, holy, and pure was about to take upon Himself all that was unrighteous, unholy, and impure. For eternity Jesus had enjoyed unbroken communion with His Father. But He knew that in a short time, when the sin of the world was poured upon Him, God would momentarily turn His face from Him. He would be forsaken. That’s what He was recoiling from in the Garden of Gethsemane. That’s what He was dreading: the horrible moment when He would take all the sin of the world upon Himself. The only one who could understand what He was about to experience was His Father. “‘Abba, Father,’ he cried out, ‘everything is possible for you. Please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine’” (Mark 4:36 NLT). Abba is a term of intimate affection used by children for their father. It’s similar to the terms “Daddy” or “Papa.” Jesus the Son was crying out to God the Father in His moment of difficulty. As He struggled with what lay ahead, Jesus asked His Father for one final reassurance that this was the only way to satisfy God’s justice and holiness—that this was the only way to make salvation and eternal life possible. Through it all, Jesus had one overarching goal, and it wasn’t to spare Himself pain and suffering. Look at His resolute words again: “I want your will to be done, not mine” (NLT). In offering this prayer, Jesus gave us an example to follow. None of us will ever be able to fathom the agony Jesus experienced that night. But we will experience our own consequences for pursuing God’s will. We may not always know what the will of God is in every situation. And when we do know it, we may not always like it. But we follow One who prioritized God’s will above everything else. And we must never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.

Daily Dose of Hope January 8, 2026   Scripture: Galatians 4   Prayer:  Lord, How we need you.  Thank you for your presence, thank you for the way you continue to pursue us.  Lord, in these next few moments of silence, help us set aside our scattered thoughts and focus on you...In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope daily Bible reading plan.  We are in our first week of our new reading plan, Journey into the Letters of Paul, during which we will walk through Paul's letters chronologically.  We are currently in Galatians, Paul's first letter.   Our chapter for today is Galatians 4. Boy, is Paul frustrated with the Galatians or what?  He doesn't mince words.  But he continues to make his point. Paul contrasts humanity's condition under the law versus in Christ. Under the law, people were heirs to a promise that God made with Abraham, but really they were no better than slaves, for they were still in bondage to the law. Under Christ, however, there is true freedom.  People aren't merely heirs to a promise.  They are children of the one true God.    Paul talks about the Galatians before the false teachers entered the picture.  They were open to Paul's teaching.  Paul alludes to an illness he had when he was with them initially.  They cared for him as if he was Christ.  Their hospitality and love was extravagant.  He was blessed by them immensely.  But now, Paul appears to be personally wounded by their rejection of him.  How quickly things changed.   They moved from reliance on grace to reliance on the law.  Paul is heartbroken.    Our salvation has nothing to do with the law. Rather, our salvation rests in the work of Christ. We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. When we are saved, God puts his Holy Spirit within us. There is an intimacy there. Now, we call out "Abba, Father" which effectively means "Daddy." We aren't slave children. We are truly God's children whom he loves. We can rest in the love of our father. We don't have to be fearful or timid. We can spend time with our Father God, sit in his lap, and soak up the love he has for us.   I'll close today with Romans 8:15-16, So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God's Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, "Abba, Father." For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God's children.    Do you consider God your daddy?  Do you clearly understand your relationship as a child of the one true King?  If you still have questions about this, or doubts, spend some time today and write them down.  Pray about them.  Let's see if over the course of this reading plan, God begins to speak to you regarding your list. Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Through games, game nights, and community engagement, she helps individuals connect with others, learn in playful ways, and live with purpose. Her work combines fun, faith, and personal growth, and she's making learning engaging, meaningful, and transformative for everyone involved.

This message delves into the significance of prayer as a relational practice with God, emphasizing the importance of approaching Him as 'Father.' It explores the concept of intimacy in prayer, the healing of past wounds that affect our perception of God, and the profound implications of calling God 'Abba.' The teaching also highlights the need for inner healing to foster a genuine relationship with God and concludes with an invitation to reflect on the story of the Prodigal Son as a representation of God's heart towards us.

There is a HUGE difference between living as an enslaved person of a household, and living as a son or a daughter of that household.An enslaved person has the will of the master FORCED upon him. He has no rights, is often mistreated, and is required to do what is commanded of him.Whereas a son or a daughter is at home in that same household, is part of that family, has a vested interest in how things go, and sees the benefit of obeying the authority - not just doing so to avoid punishment.Romans 8:15 says, "For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”We have two spirits to choose from: one that is bondage, and the result of choosing that spirit is FEAR. The other spirit is one of adoption, of being a child of God, and the result of choosing that spirit is the ability to call God Papa, Daddy!

Message 1 of "The LET Factor" Ronnie Phillips is the Lead Pastor at Abba's House in Chattanooga, TN and founder of Ronnie Phillips Ministries International.   ronniephillips.org

What do you do when what you want and what God wants don't match? In Mark 14:32–42, Jesus steps into the garden of Gethsemane and prays an honest, gut-level prayer: “Abba… everything is possible… take this cup… yet not my will, but Yours.” If even Jesus experienced the tension of desire and obedience, what does that mean for the decisions, fears, and pressures you're carrying right now? This message explores the tension of two wills—the pull of the flesh versus the leading of the Spirit—and shows how, in the tension, we can pray honestly, surrender fully, and take the next step with confidence that God is a Father you can trust.

Chaplain Don Moldstad was preacher for this service. Galatians 4:4-7: But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

Order of Service: - Prelude - Prayer #17, p. 149 - Hymn 135 - Now Sing We, Now Rejoice - Galatians 4:4-7: But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. - Prayer: P: Lord God, our heavenly Father: Under the shadow of Thy throne Thy saints have dwelt secure; C: Sufficient is Thine arm alone, and our defense is sure. P: O God, our Help in ages past, our Hope for years to come, C: Be Thou our Guard while life shall last and our eternal Home. All: In the name of Christ Jesus, the Light of the World. Amen. - Hymn 134 - Let Us All With Gladsome Voice - Blessing - Postlude Service Participants: Chaplain Don Moldstad (Preacher), Rev. Prof. Mark DeGarmeaux (Organist)

Sermon notes

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260102dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.” So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir. Galatians 4:6-7 Christmas is About Family It’s almost a cliché these days, but it’s true: society has been removing Christ from Christmas for a long time. Ask most people what the holiday is about, and you’ll probably hear “time with family” more often than the birth of the Savior. And while Christians may lament that family has eclipsed Christ, our Bible reading today reminds us that Christmas is about family. Did you catch the good news in today’s Bible passage? Because of Christmas, God has made you part of his family. Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. He rightly belongs in God's family. We do not. By nature, we are slaves to sin and estranged from God. But in his mercy, God sent his Son to redeem us and sent his Spirit into our hearts. And with the Holy Spirit dwelling in you, you can confidently call God, “Father.” That is pure grace—the grace of a God who not only forgives but adopts. And what comfort that adoption brings! All of us crave acceptance, belonging, and a sense of home. We often look for it in our earthly families and closest friendships. They are wonderful gifts, yet they can disappoint you, because like you, they are sinful. But the belonging your heart longs for is found fully in your place as a child of God. Because of Christmas, you can call Jesus your brother, and he gladly calls you his brother or sister. And you are part of a remarkable family: believers across the world and across the ages who trust in Christ. One day, you will experience the joy of a family reunion beyond imagining—a gathering that will include loved ones in Christ who died before you. So when your final day comes, you can rest in confidence. You are no longer a slave but God’s child, and since you are his child, you are also his heir. A place in your Father’s house is already prepared, and nothing can take it from you. Prayer: Father, thank you for adopting me as your child through Christ and giving me a place in your family forever. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

Full Text of Readings [DAY TITLE] The Saint of the day is Mary, Mother of God The Story of Mary, Mother of God Mary's divine motherhood broadens the Christmas spotlight. Mary has an important role to play in the Incarnation of the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity. She consents to God's invitation conveyed by the angel (Luke 1:26-38). Elizabeth proclaims: “Most blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?” (Luke 1:42-43, emphasis added). Mary's role as mother of God places her in a unique position in God's redemptive plan. Without naming Mary, Paul asserts that “God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law” (Galatians 4:4). Paul's further statement that “God sent the spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying out ‘Abba, Father!'” helps us realize that Mary is mother to all the brothers and sisters of Jesus. Some theologians also insist that her motherhood of Jesus is an important element in God's creative plan. God's “first” thought in creating was Jesus. Jesus, the incarnate Word, is the one who could give God perfect love and worship on behalf of all creation. As Jesus was “first” in God's mind, Our Lady was “second” insofar as she was chosen from all eternity to be his mother. The precise title “Mother of God” goes back at least to the third or fourth century. In the Greek form Theotokos (God-bearer), it became the touchstone of the Church's teaching about the Incarnation. The Council of Ephesus in 431 insisted that the holy Fathers were right in calling the holy virgin Theotokos. At the end of this particular session, crowds of people marched through the street shouting: “Praised be the Theotokos!” The tradition reaches to our own day. In its chapter on Mary's role in the Church, Vatican II's Dogmatic Constitution on the Church calls her “Mother of God” 12 times. To learn more, visit our Seven Days with Mary page. Reflection Other themes come together at today's celebration. It is the Octave of Christmas: Our remembrance of Mary's divine motherhood injects a further note of Christmas joy. It is a day of prayer for world peace: She is the mother of the Prince of Peace. It is the first day of a new year: Mary continues to bring new life to her children—who are also God's children.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Fr. Eric Nicolai preached this meditation at Lyncroft Centre in Toronto, on January 2, 2026.Acts of the Apostles repeatedly describes the Apostles speaking with parrhesia—freedom, frankness, fearless speech (Acts 2:29; 4:13, 29, 31). They had received the spirit of adoption. Of divine filiation.Paul still throbs with this parrhesia, the thrill that he witnessed in the apostles. “You did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, ‘Abba! Father!' (Rom 8:15). How can this fearless sense of conviction imbue us as sons and daughters of God in 2026?Music: Angelic Choir Library with license, Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.Thumbnail: Apostles at Pentecost 1030-1040, Ottonian parchment, Regensburg The J.

Sermon Date: December 28, 2025 Speaker: Pastor Landon Churchill If Christmas only lives in December, we never truly understood it. In this message, we move into Christmas in the Epistles—where the New Testament letters explain what the incarnation changed and how it reshapes our identity, obedience, hope, and everyday life. From Hebrews 1, we see that God has spoken fully and finally through His Son—Jesus is not a partial message, but God revealed. From Galatians 4, we're reminded that because Christ came at the perfect time to redeem us, we are no longer slaves but adopted sons and daughters, able to cry “Abba, Father.” In Philippians 2, we're called to live with the same humble mindset of Christ, who laid aside privilege and became obedient even to death on a cross. And in Titus 2, we learn that grace doesn't just forgive—it trains and transforms us as we live with hope, watching for Christ's return. Finally, 1 John 4 shows us what real love looks like: love moved toward us—so now love must flow through us. This is Christmas theology for real life: God has spoken, we belong, humility matters, grace is active, and love must move. Christmas doesn't end—it expands into every day of the year.

We are standing at the threshold of a new prophetic season.2026 is getting closer, and the Spirit of God is calling His people to move forward, not to stop, not to give up.How do we move from one season to another according to God's will?It is not by our own strength — we need the help of the HOLY SPIRIT.We need direction, obedience, faith, and above all, we need YESHUA (JESUS).This message is a call to awaken, to align our hearts with God, and to walk boldly into what He has prepared. The Lord is doing something new, and He is inviting us to trust Him fully in this transition.

  «Porque [el espíritu] que han recibido ahora no [es] un espíritu que esclavice nuevamente al miedo, sino que han recibido el espíritu de adopción [el espíritu que produce filiación], en la dicha por el cual clamamos: ¡Abba, [papito] Padre!» (Romanos 8:15, AMP) Una noche, después de un servicio de adoración, salimos con un amigo a la calle y de pronto nos quedamos maravillados al contemplar la belleza que nos rodeaba. Era una de esas lindas noches de invierno completamente despejadas en las que el resplandor de la luna y de las estrellas lo dejan a uno boquiabierto. Le dije a mi amigo: "Tommy, ¡mira eso!" Él miró hacia arriba con una de esas sonrisas inspiradas por el Espíritu Santo, y con una voz llena de ternura exclamó: "¡Mi Papito hizo eso!" ¡Mi Papito…! Nunca olvidaré la manera en que lo dijo. Algunas personas piensan que él no debió haber usado palabras tan informales para dirigirse a Dios, pero se equivocan. Es bíblico dirigirse a Él de esa manera. La palabra traducida como padre en arameo es Abba, la cual es usada varias veces en el nuevo testamento. La traducción equivalente en el español es papito. Es una palabra que significa cercanía, e implica una relación que ha sido cultivada con el pasar del tiempo. "Papá" es una cosa y "Papito" es otra. De niño, mi papá a veces era mi "padre" y en otras ocasiones era mi "papito". Cuando nos íbamos a cazar patos, él era mi "papito". Cuando daba órdenes que quería que se obedecieran al instante, él era mi "papá". Lo mismo podemos decir de Dios: Él es nuestro Papá y nuestro Papito. A veces hablaremos de algunos asuntos con Él muy seriamente; otras veces la conversación será más amena. En todo caso, una vez llegues a conocerlo más íntimamente, te aseguro que desearás estar cerca de Él todo el tiempo.

Galatas 4:4-74 Pero cuando vino el cumplimiento del tiempo, Dios envió a su Hijo, nacido de mujer y nacido bajo la ley,5 para que redimiese a los que estaban bajo la ley, a fin de que recibiésemos la adopción de hijos.6 Y por cuanto sois hijos, Dios envió a vuestros corazones el Espíritu de su Hijo, el cual clama: ¡Abba, Padre!7 Así que ya no eres esclavo, sino hijo; y si hijo, también heredero de Dios por medio de Cristo.

There are so many “firsts” on this episode, we're honestly not sure what to do with ourselves.Let's start by telling you (in case you skipped the headline) that we're reviewing Song Sung Blue, the based-on-a-true-story of real-life Milwaukee couple Mike and Claire Sardina, also known as Lightning & Thunder. Their Neil Diamond tribute act — with occasional departures into ABBA, Patsy Cline and others — played stages around the area for nearly 20 years, eventually catching the attention of writer/director Craig Brewer.Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson came on board his project to play the lead roles, with Jackman in particular embracing it in a huge way. That brings us to our first “first,” which saw the Oriental Theatre host a premiere for Song Sung Blue (reportedly at Jackman's request) and give us a chance to attend our very first Hollywood-ish event.In addition to Dori, Radio Milwaukee social media strategist Zoey Knox elbowed her way to the edge of the red carpet, which was appropriately blue for the occasion. So of course we invited Zoey for her first Cinebuds appearance to share her thoughts on the movie, as well as what it was like for her and Dori to interview (sort of) the one and only Hugh Jackman!!!You'll hear that admittedly brief but still wonderful chat in the full episode, which also includes our hosts' reaction to this very Milwaukee tale. Some quick highlights: Hudson really nails her portrayal of Claire Sardina, she and Jackman clearly have legit singing chops, and the general uplifting-ness of the story make this a perfect release for the holiday season.Get all of the details in this episode, and make sure you check in with us after the holiday break for another perspective on Song Sung Blue from filmmaker Jimmy Sammarco, whose 2008 documentary of the same name was instrumental to the biopic hitting theaters this Christmas.#####Cinebuds is sponsored by Joe Wilde Garage Door Company.

In this message, we emphasize how God sent His Son at the perfect time to redeem us from bondage under the law, granting us adoption as children and the indwelling Spirit who cries "Abba, Father."

When we pray the Our Father, we are invited to pray with “filial boldness” as children of God. Fr. Mike emphasizes that we are God's adopted sons and daughters, and so because of that, we are able to call him “Abba, Father.” He also emphasizes that because of this adoption we are called to “continual conversion and new life.” Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2777-2785. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Who Is the Holy Spirit? • Sunday Service Website: www.PastorTodd.org To give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give The Holy Spirit is not a vague influence or an optional topic in Christianity. He is God Himself—personal, powerful, and present. Many believers struggle to understand who the Spirit is, yet He is the One who makes Christ real in us. Without Him, our faith becomes mechanical and powerless; with Him, it becomes alive and victorious. Let's look at 10 truths about who the Holy Spirit is, with Scripture and clear explanation. 1. The Holy Spirit Is God  Acts 5:3–4 (NKJV): But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.” 2. The Holy Spirit Is a Person Ephesians 4:30 (NKJV): And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 3. The Holy Spirit Is Our Helper John 14:26 (NKJV): But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. 4. The Holy Spirit Is the Spirit of Truth John 16:13 (NKJV): However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. 5. The Holy Spirit Is the Empowerer Acts 1:8 (NKJV): But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” 6. The Holy Spirit Is the Sanctifier  (NKJV): …that I might be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering of the Gentiles might be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. 7. The Holy Spirit Is the Teacher 1 Corinthians 2:13 (NKJV): These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 8. The Holy Spirit Is the Giver of Gifts 1 Corinthians 12:7–11 (NKJV): But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills. 9. The Holy Spirit Is the Spirit of Adoption Romans 8:15–16 (NKJV): For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. 10. The Holy Spirit Is the Spirit of Revival Joel 2:28 (NKJV): “And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.” The Holy Spirit is God Himself—personal, present, and powerful. He comforts, teaches, empowers, sanctifies, and equips us. He makes the Christian life not just possible but victorious. As Galatians 5:25 (NKJV) says: “If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” To know the Spirit is to know God. To walk with the Spirit is to walk in step with heaven. CCLI: 21943673

The urgency of the hour is here. In this moving Christmas message, we explore why the birth of Jesus is more than just a beautiful tradition or a "cheesy movie" plot—it is a historically significant event that changed the timeline of humanity.Drawing from his recent ministry trip to Abu Dhabi, Pastor David shares how the global church is on the move and challenges us to move from complacency to "front-footed waiting." Looking at the life of Simeon in Luke 2, we see what it means to live in eager anticipation of the Redeemer who brings forgiveness, adoption, and a true inheritance.In this sermon, you will learn:Why the international calendar (AD) centers on one specific life.How the "silence of God" for 400 years ended in a stable.What it means to call God "Abba" (Father).How to find hope in Jesus rather than politics or career.Be sure to follow 614 Church online:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/614_church/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/614church/Website: https://www.614church.orgTo support our ministry, https://614church.org/give/To fill out a contact card so we can stay in touch, click the link below!https://614.churchcenter.com/people/forms/283193Until Everyone Knows Jesus.0:00 – The "Man Cold" and the Power of Unity1:42 – Lessons from Abu Dhabi: Faith in a Muslim Nation5:15 – The Global Church: God is on the Move9:15 – More Than a Story: The Urgency of the Hour11:20 – 2025 AD: Why Jesus is Ground Zero for History14:38 – The Man Who Was Ready: Simeon's Patient Waiting19:42 – The Consolation of Israel: Beauty After 400 Years of Silence24:35 – Abba Father: From Slaves to Sons and Daughters28:56 – What Are You Waiting For? An Invitation to Jesus

How can a baby be an "Everlasting Father?" In this message, Lead Pastor Jamie Nunnally shares about this name given to our Savior before His birth. The name Jesus in Hebrew is Yeshua (Joshua). Yeshua in Greek is Iēsoûs. Translated from Greek to English, it becomes Jesus.Joshua, Yeshua, Iēsoûs, and Jesus are the same name in different languages, all meaning "Yahweh is salvation.""Christ" comes from the Greek word Christos, meaning "anointed one." Christ is the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew Mashiach or "Messiah." It's not Jesus' last name—it's His title. In the end, it doesn't matter which language you use to call on the Savior; what matters is that you call on Him.Isaiah 9:6 tells us that His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.In Hebrew culture, names don't just identify a person; they declare purpose, describe ability, and reveal character. So why is a baby—who grows into a man with no natural-born children—called Everlasting Father?Everlasting means "from here on out." From this point forward, Jesus is the perfect and final representation of God the Father.Jesus made this clear in John 14: "Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father." He wasn't just a prophet bringing God's message—He was bringing God Himself to us.He said, "The Father and I are one" (John 10).Scripture declares that Christ is "the visible image of the invisible God" (Colossians 1:15) and "the exact imprint of his nature" (Hebrews 1:3).Five ways Jesus displayed the Father to us:A father protects. When danger came, Jesus stepped forward so His disciples could go free (John 18). Protection is love in action.A father provides. God meets your needs through your relationship with the Son (Philippians 4:19). Jesus didn't just preach to the 5,000—He fed them.A father is approachable. We come boldly to God's throne to receive mercy and grace (Hebrews 4:16). In Christ, the throne room isn't a courtroom—it's a living room.A father disciplines. God's correction is proof that we belong to Him (Hebrews 12). Discipline is formative, not punitive—it's about who you are becoming.A father loves unconditionally. God loved us first and sent His Son because He is love (1 John 4).You may not have had a father in the home, but you have a Father in heaven who wants to be the Father of your heart.Humanity misunderstood God's heart, so God didn't shout louder from heaven—He translated Himself into flesh.Jesus is God, translated into our language.At Christmas, God didn't just send a message—He sent us one of us.Some of us believe in Jesus but still relate to God through fear or distance. Let God translate Himself through the Son. Receive Jesus as your Everlasting Father.Are you letting Jesus be your Everlasting Father? 

In the middle of chaos, captivity, fear, and confusion—God gives one simple invitation: “Call to Me.” From a prison cell to a promise, Jeremiah 33:3 reminds us that the “Me” has a NAME. In Part 3 of My Christmas Play List, we uncover the powerful names of God—Elohim, Yahweh, Abba, Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Shalom, Jehovah Nissi, Emmanuel, and more—and what happens when you SAY HIS NAME in your darkest moments. No matter what you're facing today, help, peace, provision, and victory are just one name away.
