Finally settling in a stable, Mary gave birth to Jesus, and just as Jesus came to this Earth, God's messengers proclaimed His glory and mission to the shepherds in a nearby field.

Matthew presents Jesus Christ as the Jesus as the Mashiach Nagid, the Messiah the King, the Lion of the tribe of Judah. It was written by a Jew, to Jews, about a Jew. This book of the Bible uses more Old Testament quotes than any other. The Gospel of Matthew emphasizes the saying of Jesus, including ten parables not found in any other Gospel. After first establishing the royal genealogy, he then goes on to focus on the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies. Matthew uses the term "fulfilled" 82 times! Many scholars now believe that the Gospel was written before Paul's first imprisonment of 57-60 A.D., and that virtually all of the New Testament books were written before Jerusalem's destruction. This study contains 24 hours of verse by verse teachings. Copyright © 11-01-2006 Recorded: 2006

For the first time in 2,000 years, the sound of the shofar echoed across the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Some say it's a political act, others claim it's prophetic. Could this historic moment point us closer to the trumpet blast that the Bible describes in the last days? On today's show, we unpack what the shofar on the Temple Mount really means, the rising calls for a Third Temple, and how it all connects to Bible prophecy.   📱: It's never been easier to understand.

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 the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, host Hunter invites us to join him for the 241st day of our journey through the Bible, focusing on Ezekiel chapters 1-3 and Revelation chapter 2. Hunter reminds us that this podcast is about more than just reading Scripture—it's about letting the Scriptures read us, transforming our hearts and lives. We'll hear about Ezekiel's awe-inspiring vision on the banks of the Kebar River, where God's glory is revealed in vivid, dramatic detail, and Ezekiel receives his challenging commission as a prophet to a stubborn and rebellious people. Then, we'll turn to the book of Revelation, where letters to the early churches call us to examine our love, endurance, and faith—offering both encouragement and loving correction. Hunter reflects on where we can find Jesus today—right in the midst of His people, even when life feels messy or complicated. Together, we'll listen for what the Spirit is saying to the churches, and take time for prayer and reflection, asking God to make us vessels of peace, agents of love, and bold hearers of His Word. So grab your Bible, settle in, and let's discover how God's living Word meets us right where we are today. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Where do we find Jesus? John gives us a clear answer in Revelation: He is standing and walking among the seven golden lampstands, which represent the seven churches. That means Jesus is right in the midst of His people. Not in the walls of a building, not in some far-off, unreachable place, but right here—gathered among those who are following Him, even when that gathering is messy and complicated. Seven, in the Bible, is the number of wholeness and completion. So when John says Jesus is among the seven lampstands, we see that He is present with all His people, not just a special few. And the message is clear: even when our lives and communities are far from perfect, even when things don't make sense and we feel surrounded by confusion or failure—Jesus is there. He has not abandoned us. He walks with us. John urges us to have ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. That means listening—not just hearing, but actually tuning our hearts to what God wants to say to us. As we gather around God's Word, even in our everyday ordinary lives, we can find Christ present and active, offering us His loving corrections, warnings, and encouragements. We don't need to look far or work ourselves into some spiritual frenzy to find Him. He's exactly where you'd expect: right here, among His people, meeting us in our reality, offering comfort, strength, protection, and joy. As we open His Word and gather with others, He is here—right here—transforming and renewing us, not just reading the Scriptures, but letting the Scriptures read through us. That's the posture we are invited to take today: listening, gathering, looking for Jesus in the midst of real, imperfect community and life. May we have ears to hear and hearts prepared to meet Him as He stands among us. That's a prayer I have for my own soul. That's a prayer I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's a prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Loving God, you have knit us together in the body of Christ from every nation and tongue. Make us a vessel of your peace today. Make us a vessel of your peace today. Where hatred stirs, let us bear your love. Where wounds run deep, let us be agents of pardon. Where fear grips hearts, may we speak faith. Where sorrow hangs heavy, may we carry joy. Teach us to listen more than we speak. To understand before we are understood. To love. For in surrender, we find abundance. In mercy, we discover grace. And in dying, we rise into your life. In the name of Jesus. 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 trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. 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

When KC visits his good friend, Ernest, he learns that when we listen to our heart, it will tells us to do good things for people. Everywhere Jesus went, He did good! If people were sick, Jesus prayed for them and they were healed! Jesus was doing what the Bible told Him to do. It was like shining a light for people to see how good God is! We can do the same because God's Word is a light to our path. “Let your good deeds shine out for all to see!” Matthew 5:16. #kids, #storiesforchristiankids, #biblestoriesforkids, #biblelessonsforkids, #letyourlightshine, #godswordisalighttoourpath, #gooddeedsshine, #fishbytesforkids, #fishbytes4kids, #fishbitesforkids, #ronandcarriewebb, #roncarriewebb Life of Riley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1400054 Artist: http://incompetech.com/

✅ The "wooden box method" that transforms phone habits ✅ Why asking "What's the point of fatherhood?" changes everything ✅ How foster care taught them about the infinite value of every child ✅ Why each of your kids needs different parenting approaches   FULL SHOW NOTES   SUMMARY What if the secret to raising kids who aren't addicted to screens isn't about restricting technology—but about making real life more compelling? In this episode, young dad Kieran Lenahan shares practical wisdom from the trenches of parenting four kids under six, including foster care experiences that changed everything. You'll discover why the simple question "What's the point of fatherhood?" should guide every parenting decision, and how a wooden box might be the game-changer your family needs. TAKEAWAYS The fundamental question every dad should ask and keep asking: "What is the point of fatherhood?" Let this guide your decisions rather than just reacting to whatever gets thrown at you. Make real life more compelling than screens by creating engaging experiences—if physical reality is exciting, screens lose their allure naturally. The wooden box method: Put phones in a physical container and commit to never looking at your phone when kids are asking for your attention. Each child needs different parenting approaches—situational leadership applies to fatherhood, so learn to speak each kid's unique "language." Foster care teaches you that every child has infinite value—there's no such thing as "practice" when it comes to loving and caring for any child. GUEST Kieran Lenahan is the founder of Malachi Daily, a scripture memory tool used by over 70,000 people to memorize Bible verses through gamified daily emails. He's an entrepreneur, coach, and father of four children under six, including children through foster care. Kieran and his wife are passionate about making real life more compelling than screens, intentional parenting, and helping families build rhythms around scripture memory. He lives with his family and leads initiatives that blend faith, technology, and practical parenting wisdom.

Let that be a really helpful guiding question as you enter fatherhood, and you can keep asking that as you go." "We think that life is good and God created it in the physical real world to be good. If we can make that as compelling as possible, screens lose their allure." "We will never be looking at our phone when our kids are asking for our attention. I never want our kids to feel like our phone is more important than they are." "Not each of our kids needs the exact same type of parenting. The best leaders understand how to speak the language of that team member in a way that's going to motivate them." "If we don't know who we are, it's really hard to live an effective, faithful, obedient life. If that's true for us, how much more true is that for our kids?"

Too many women perceive the Bible as a bit heavy on the side of patriarchy -- and it's actually a stumbling block to faith for some. But this idea of God loving women, but loving men just a little bit more -- or of God seeing men and women as equals, but that men are just a little bit more favored in His eyes -- is s lie of the devil. And in America, especially, where equality is enshrined in the political world, in the courts, in the corporate world and in the culture, the idea of God's blessings being unequally applied based on gender is a tool for feminists to call for atheism. Daniah Greenberg, with "Biblical Feminism," tells the truths about God's regard for men and women.

Fr. Mike shares one of his favorite Bible verses, and guides us through the story of Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah as they are thrown into the fiery furnace.

Mike emphasizes that a well-formed conscience is one that is both “upright and truthful.” He also highlights the idea that a well-formed intellect is vital to having a well-formed conscience.

Israel was now under the rule of the Roman Empire. During this time a priest named Zechariah was on duty to burn incense in the Temple when an angel of God appeared to him. The angel told him that he and his wife Elizabeth would have a son! And that this son would be the messenger to proclaim the coming of the Lord. Meanwhile, Mary, the cousin of Elizabeth, also received a word from the angel Gabriel that she would bear a son, but her’s would be different, her son would be from God and would be the people’s Messiah.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

The self-proclaimed faithful are pearl-clutching over a Black, queer woman playing Jesus in a new artistic production, branding it "demonic" and "blasphemous." This manufactured outrage, disguised as religious conviction, exposes **fragile worldviews and deep-seated misogyny and racism** within the Christian right. They confuse artistic reinterpretation with an attack on their faith, conveniently ignoring that art's purpose is to challenge preconceived notions. It's yet another predictable display of **hypocrisy and selective victimhood**, proving that bigotry finds a way to surface even when the supposed "threat" is a fictional character portrayed by a talented actress. Their fear of inclusivity only amplifies the message: art thrives by questioning tradition, not by conforming to narrow, prejudiced definitions.News Source:Cynthia Erivo's 'demonic' portrayal of Jesus prompts outrage 'Intentional blasphemy'By Jon Brown for Christian PostAugust 4, 2025

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 the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode for August 27th, we journey through some deep and moving passages, starting in Jeremiah 52, where we witness the tragic fall of Jerusalem and the exile of God's people. Then, we turn to Revelation 1, where John's vision of Christ offers hope and the promise of restoration out of the ruins. We also find comfort and honest prayer in Psalm 143 and 144, as David cries out for God's presence, guidance, and protection. Along the way, Hunter shares heartfelt reflections on what it means to live with hope in seasons of exile and loss, pointing us to the ultimate King who gathers the broken and leads them home. He invites us to let God's joy be our strength and to remember that, no matter where we are in life, we are deeply loved. So grab your Bible and join us as we read, reflect, and pray together—letting God's Word shape our day and our hearts. TODAY'S DEVOTION: It will end with a song. Today, for the first time this year, we ended our reading with the song we heard in Jeremiah—a song of exile and judgment. We read of a king and a kingdom brought low; Zedekiah, blinded, and Jerusalem reduced to rubble, a people sent away from their home. But the story does not end in ruin. From Jeremiah's ruins, we moved to John's vision in Revelation, and in that vision we find hope rising. Out of the devastation, from the ashes, emerges someone like the Son of Man—a king far greater than Zedekiah, a king with eyes like flames of fire, a gold sash across His chest, feet like polished bronze, and a voice as mighty as ocean waves. This is our King, Jesus. This King gathers up all the exiles—the broken, the fearful, the defeated, the ones who have known captivity in body, soul, or spirit. He seeks out those lost and crushed under the weight of ruins, those who know what it means to be scattered and longing for home. And to every exile, He offers a new kingdom and a new song—not a song of despair, but one of deliverance and hope. The song is this: “May there be no enemy breaking through our walls, no going into captivity, no cries of alarm in our town squares. Yes, joyful are those who live like this. Joyful indeed are those whose God is the Lord.” This is not just the end of today's scripture—it is the end of our story, too. Our lives, no matter how marred by ruin or exile, will end with a song that leads us forward into eternal life. This new King has come, and there is none like Him. Have this song—the song of His love and freedom—in your heart. Grow ever more convinced and devoted to the message of this song: that His love sets us free, not only us, but the world. For God so loved the world. That's the prayer I have for my own soul today. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the prayer 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

In this episode, we're exploring aromatherapy - something that's getting serious scientific attention. When we inhale essential oils, scent molecules travel directly to our brain's emotional center, creating real neurochemical changes. The research is compelling. Johns Hopkins found that certain essential oils can kill Lyme bacteria better than antibiotics. And lavender has particularly strong evidence - multiple studies show that it genuinely improves sleep quality by increasing restorative delta brain waves. The Veterans Health Administration reviewed 26 systematic studies and found moderate evidence that aromatherapy helps with pain, sleep quality, and stress management.  That's why we're excited to welcome Amy Jump-Long. Amy is a Licensed Massage Therapist and Certified Clinical Aromatherapist with 15 years of experience.

In this teaching, Pastor Brandon examines what it means to "sell yourself to do evil" (1 Kings 21) and the serious implications of this contractual, covenantal language. From Ahab and Jezebel's idolatry to modern-day occult practices, he shows how selling oneself to sin is a transactional surrender to demonic authority—but also how God provides a way back through repentance and restoration. You'll also hear insights into: ✅ How Jezebel introduced false gods into Israel ✅ Why Ahab's weakness allowed the Jezebel spirit to thrive ✅ The biblical truth behind "selling your soul" and demonic covenants ✅ Why no covenant with the occult is permanent—freedom is always possible through Christ ✅ The Hebraism of God "removing His face" and the danger of being out of fellowship ✅ The seriousness of sin, repentance, and walking in covenant blessing ✅ The true meaning of being strong in the Lord—not fleshly strength, but strength in His promises The call is clear: Don't be deceived by false power or worldly gain. The enemy may offer fame, wealth, or seduction, but it always comes at a price of destruction. True blessing is found in fellowship with God and in ministering to others through the strength He provides. For more teachings and resources, visit:

It's Wednesday, August 27th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark India threatens life in prison for sharing Christ Christians may face life in prison for simply sharing the Gospel in India. The country's northern state of Uttarakhand amended its anti-conversion law last week. Violations are now punishable by life imprisonment. The law also cracks down on sharing one's faith through social media. Rev. Vijayesh Lal told Morning Star News, “These provisions, with penalties up to life imprisonment, represent some of India's harshest anti-conversion measures and could turn ordinary conversations about belief into criminal acts.” Please pray for the church in India. The country is ranked 11th on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most difficult places to be a Christian.  Trump imposes 50% tariffs on India over funding Russian war The U.S. imposed new tariffs on exports from India starting today. The tariffs come in response to India's continued purchasing of Russian oil. President Donald Trump's levies on Indian exports are at 50% now. India has become one of the top buyers of Russian oil since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. The Trump administration is accusing India of effectively funding Russia's war through its oil purchases.  5,000 Irish march for Jesus Around 5,000 people joined the March for Jesus in Belfast, Northern Ireland over the weekend. Rev. John Ahern organized the event. He told Christian Daily International, “As the people of God, if we're willing to humble ourselves and pray, as the Bible says in 2 Chronicles 7:14, and turn from our wicked ways, God has promised to hear from Heaven, forgive our sin and heal our land.” The event builds on last year's march in Dublin where about 12,000 Christians participated. Another march in Dublin is scheduled for next month.  2 Chronicles 7:14 says, “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” Minnesota Christian colleges allowed to offer free credit to high schoolers A U.S. District Court ruled in favor of faith-based colleges in Minnesota last Friday. Previously, the state barred such colleges from offering free college credit to high school students. Minnesota parents successfully challenged the decision with the help of The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty.  Diana Thomson, senior counsel at Becket, said, “Minnesota tried to cut off educational opportunities to thousands of high schoolers simply for their faith. That's not just unlawful—it's shameful. This ruling is a win for families who won't be strong-armed into abandoning their beliefs, and a sharp warning to politicians who target them.” D.C. hospital halts transgender drugs on minors ABC News reports that Children's National Hospital in Washington, D.C. will no longer offer transgender drugs to minors.  It's the latest hospital in the U.S. to stop offering so-called “gender transition” drugs. Other hospitals to make similar decisions include Yale Medicine, Kaiser Permanente, Children's Hospital Los Angeles, and UChicago Medicine.  These decisions follow President Trump's executive order to end federal funding for transgender procedures on minors. U.S. gov't owns 10% of Intel stocks Last Friday, Intel announced an $8.9 billion investment in the company's stock by the U.S. government. This means the government will own about 10% of the computer chip manufacturer. The deal converts government grants into equity share in the company.  On Truth Social, President Trump wrote, “The United States paid nothing for these Shares, and the Shares are now valued at approximately $11 Billion Dollars. This is a great Deal for America and, also, a great Deal for INTEL.” 100-year-long German prayer chain And finally, this week is the anniversary of when a Christian community in Herrnhut, Germany began a round-the-clock “prayer chain.” The community started after Count Nikolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf opened his estate to Protestant refugees. On August 27, 1727, dozens in the community committed to pray, in turns, every hour of every day. The prayer chain reportedly lasted over one hundred years. The Moravian community went on to send hundreds of missionaries around the world, becoming the spearhead of Protestant missions.  Colossians 4:2 says, “Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, August 27th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).
