This Sunday's Inspirational Message is: Trusting In God's Provision Today we're diving into Luke 12:22-34. This passage hits home in our busy world, where worry about finances, health, and the future often consumes us. Jesus speaks directly to His disciples, urging them not to fret over food or clothing, pointing to birds and flowers as examples of God's care. He reminds us that life is more than material things and that seeking God's kingdom first ensures our needs are met. We'll explore the historical context of Luke's Gospel, written by a physician to affirm Jesus' teachings for Gentiles, and unpack this section amid warnings about hypocrisy and greed. The big idea? Trust God's provision and prioritize His rule in your life. * * * * * Once again, thanks for joining us in our time of worshiping the Lord through His Word!

This Sunday's Inspirational Message is: Being Rich Toward God Today, we're diving into Luke 12:13-21. This passage hits hard on greed and what really matters in life. Jesus gets pulled into a family squabble over inheritance, but He turns it into a powerful lesson: beware of all forms of greed because life isn't about piling up stuff. He shares the parable of the rich fool who hoards his wealth, plans a comfy retirement, but dies that night, leaving it all behind. The big idea? True richness comes from being rich toward God, not earthly treasures. We'll explore this in a conversational style, blending insights from the text with practical applications for today—like how to handle money, avoid materialism, and invest in eternity. Action points: First, audit your priorities this week—where's your heart? Second, practice generosity; give to someone in need. Third, pray for a God-centered view of possessions. * * * * * Once again, thanks for joining us in our time of worshiping the Lord through His Word!

This Sunday's Inspirational Message is: Rooted and Built Up in Christ I'm Pastor Warren Swanson, and today we're diving into Colossians 2:6-15, a passage that's like a roadmap for a faith that stands strong. Paul wrote this letter around 60 AD to a young church in Colossae, a city buzzing with ideas—Greek philosophy, Jewish rules, pagan mysticism—all trying to pull believers away from Jesus. Sounds a lot like today, doesn't it? Social media, self-help trends, and cultural voices can drown out the truth. But Paul says, “Stay rooted in Christ.” In this episode, we'll unpack three practical ways to do that: 1.     Walking daily in Jesus through prayer and Scripture, 2.     Guarding against deceptive philosophies by testing them against God's Word, and 3.     Resting in the complete forgiveness and victory of the cross. Picture an oak tree standing firm in a Minnesota storm—that's the stable, discerning, and complete life God offers. Try this: read Colossians 1 this week or pray with a friend to deepen your roots. In a world full of noise, Jesus is our anchor. * * * * * Once again, thanks for joining us in our time of worshiping the Lord through His Word!

This Sunday's Inspirational Message is: Reconciled and Proclaiming Christ Friends, Colossians 1:21-29 is a roadmap for transformed living. Jesus reconciled us to God, so we live with gratitude, thanking Him for His grace that made us holy and blameless. He gives us the hope of the gospel, so we stand firm, anchoring ourselves in His Word and promises, no matter what storms come our way. And He dwells in us, empowering us to proclaim Him with courage, love, and purpose, sharing His light in a world that desperately needs it. In this message, we'll explore three points: 1. Our reconciliation through Christ's death, 2. The call to remain steadfast in hope, and 3. The mission to share Christ with others. Practically, this means living in gratitude for God's grace, standing firm in faith amid life's storms, and boldly sharing the gospel in everyday moments. * * * * * Once again, thanks for joining us in our time of worshiping the Lord through His Word!

This Sunday's Inspirational Message is: The Good Samaritan What does it mean to love your neighbor as yourself? In our tight-knit community, we understand the beauty of lending a hand—whether it's helping a neighbor clear snow or sharing a meal during harvest season. Yet, Jesus' teaching in Luke 10:25-37, the parable of the Good Samaritan, stretches our understanding of neighborly love far beyond what's comfortable or familiar. This passage confronts our human tendency to prioritize self, challenging us to embrace a love that mirrors God's heart—radical, selfless, and boundary-breaking. Today, we'll unpack this parable verse by verse, discovering who our neighbor is, what love demands, and how we're called to live it out in our daily lives. * * * * * Once again, thanks for joining us in our time of worshiping the Lord through His Word!

This Sunday's Inspirational Message is: The Authority of Scripture This episode is all about the authority of Scripture, rooted in the powerful words of 2 Timothy 3:16-17, where Paul declares that all Scripture is God-breathed and useful for every facet of our lives. We're going to unpack three practical, life-changing ways the Bible shapes us: 1.     It teaches us God's unchanging truth, 2.     Corrects us when we stray, and 3.     Trains us to live righteously for His glory. Why does this matter? In a world swirling with conflicting voices—social media debates, cultural trends, personal opinions—the Bible stands as our rock-solid foundation, God's very voice speaking directly to us. It's not just a book; it's a divine guide for navigating life's challenges, from the mundane to the monumental. * * * * * Once again, thanks for joining us in our time of worshiping the Lord through His Word!

This Sunday's Inspirational Message is: Salvation Through Faith Today, we're embarking on a journey through one of the most profound verses in all of Scripture, John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” This verse is the heartbeat of the Gospel, a radiant beacon that reveals God's love, His sacrifice, and His promise of salvation. It's a truth that has transformed countless lives across centuries, from the first disciples to believers today. In this episode, titled “Salvation through Faith,” we'll unpack three foundational pillars: 1.     God's love as the initiator of salvation, 2.     Faith as our response to that love, and 3.     Eternal life as the glorious promise for all who believe. My prayer is that this message does more than inform—that it stirs your soul, deepens your trust in Jesus, and equips you to live out His love in a world that desperately needs it. * * * * * Once again, thanks for joining us in our time of worshiping the Lord through His Word!

We have a special treat on today's program, and that's a conversation with musician and songwriter Fernando Ortega. Fernando Ortega is one of my favorites, in part because he takes both the theology and the traditions of the church seriously in his music. Both his original music, such as “This Good Day,” and his interpretations of many traditional hymns and songs, such as "Give Me Jesus", "Be Thou My Vision" and "Praise to the Lord, the Almighty", are known for their rich musical and theological palette. Fernando Ortega is, in short, someone I think the church needs today. However, we haven't seen him in a while. His last album, which I argue might have been the best of his career, was 2017's “The Crucifixion of Jesus.” But now he's back. He has a new EP called “For All The Saints.” I've heard it. It's beautiful, and I'm delighted to have these new songs out there in the world, and equally delighted to have Fernando on the program. Ortega was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico, near the banks of the Rio Grande, which is where he lives today. He started learning piano at eight years of age. His family lived in Chimayó, New Mexico, for eight generations, a legacy cited as an influence on his music. Fernando had this conversation with me from his home in Albuquerque. His new EP is “For All The Saints,” and I encourage you to check it out on all your favorite streaming platforms. Thanks to Jeff McIntosh for producing today's program, and for Rick Hoganson for his help in arranging this interview. I hope you'll join me on Friday, with my co-host Natasha Cowden, when we return with our weekly roundup of the stories we've been covering here at MinistryWatch. Until then, may God bless you.
