As we begin reading 1 Peter today, Fr. Mike walks us through Peter's powerful message about persevering in trials, trusting that those sufferings purify our love and faith by teaching us to love God for his own sake and not just the gifts he blesses us with. Finally, as we wrap up Colossians, Fr. Mike highlights St. Paul's call to uphold the obligations we have to others in society, in our family, and in our work. Today we read 1 Peter 1-2, Colossians 3-4, and Proverbs 30:10-14. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

Fr. Mike reviews this section of the Catechism, summarizing the battle of prayer and the prayer of the hour of Jesus. We are reminded that prayer is active, and we must engage in grace. The Catechism goes on to state that, “We pray as we live because we live as we pray.” In this, we see that God meets us where we are and wants us to pray always. Finally, Jesus' prayer to the Father in the Garden of Gethsemane exemplifies humility, filial trust, honesty, and perseverance; modeling how we are to pray to the Father. Today's readings are paragraphs 2752-2758. 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.

What do you do when God's promise feels delayed—and the facts of your life say it's too late? In this week's Walk It Out Wednesday, Pastors Don Johnson and Venshard Dobbins, alongside Dr. Oscar Williams, set the record straight on faith, waiting, and trusting God beyond the facts. Through the story of Abraham and Sarah in Genesis, this powerful conversation confronts the tension we all face: knowing what God promised, but living with what hasn't happened yet. If you've ever felt stuck between what you believe and what you see, this Bible study will help you realign your heart, renew your mind, and keep walking—especially when it's hard. In this message, you'll discover how to: Lay down the facts of your past and hold onto the truth of God's Word Overcome doubt during the waiting season Quiet the noise of fear, feelings, and old narratives Trust God when the delay isn't demonic—but developmental Believe again after disappointment Understand why your survival is a testimony for someone else Your waiting is not wasted. Your delay is not denial. And your story isn't over yet! Message: “Walk It Out Wednesday: Set the Record Straight” Speakers: Pastor Don Johnson, Pastor Venshard Dobbins, and Dr. Oscar Williams Date: Dec. 18, 2025 ✨ Welcome to Your Moment of Transformation You don't have to walk this journey alone. Let Jesus guide your steps and fill your life with purpose and peace.

Our homes are shaped by what—and who—we draw near to most. Psalm 145:18 reminds us that the Lord is near to all who call on Him in truth, and when we intentionally seek His presence, it changes not only our hearts but the atmosphere of our homes. As we draw closer to Jesus individually and together as families, the fruit of the Spirit becomes more evident in our lives—bringing peace where there was tension, joy where there was weariness, and love where there was frustration. No matter our stage of life, prioritizing time with the Lord invites Him to transform our attitudes, relationships, and daily rhythms. Main Takeaways You’ll learn why drawing near to Jesus personally impacts the spiritual health of your home. Discover how time spent in God’s presence produces the fruit of the Spirit in everyday life. Understand why shared prayer and Scripture reading strengthen families spiritually. Reflect on practical ways to prioritize faith amid busy schedules. Be encouraged that seeking the Lord together brings lasting peace, joy, and renewed perspective.

"Come prepared to give a brief contextual overview of the book, then be ready to answer the following: 1. James 2 says faith without works is dead, which has sometimes seemed to clash with Paul's teaching on justification by faith. How should we understand James and Paul together, and what was James really emphasizing here? 2. James opens by saying we should consider it joy when we face trials because testing produces maturity (James 1:2–4). How do we make sense of that, and what kind of maturity was James calling his audience toward? 3. In James 3, the tongue is described as a fire that can set the whole course of life on fire. Why does James focus so much on speech, and what does that tell us about the health of Christian community?
