Fr. Mike reads the Sermon on the Mount and explains how Jesus' teachings powerfully fulfill the old testament law, and identify the broken human heart as the source of our sinful actions.

If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)YouTube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comColossians 4Paul gives final instructions to believers, urging them to devote themselves to prayer while remaining watchful and thankful. He asks for prayers that God would open doors for him to clearly proclaim the message of Christ, even while he is imprisoned. Paul also encourages believers to be wise in how they interact with outsiders, making the most of every opportunity and speaking with grace, even when in a position of authority like a master over a slave. He then lists several companions who are assisting him, including Tychicus, Onesimus, and others, and sends greetings to various churches and individuals. Paul reminds the Colossians to fulfill the ministries God has given them. He closes the letter with a personal touch, asking them to remember his chains and offering grace to all.  Christians are called to be a people of prayer, persistence, and gratitude. We should continually seek God's guidance, praying not only for our needs but also for open doors to share the gospel with others. In every conversation, we are challenged to be wise and gracious, making the most of each opportunity to reflect Christ. We must remember that our words and actions can either draw people toward Jesus or push them away. Like Paul's companions, we are part of a larger mission, encouraging and supporting one another in faith. As we live out our ministries, we should remain alert, faithful, and bold, trusting that God will use our lives to spread His love and grace in the world. Gracious God, thank You for the gift of prayer and the privilege of seeking Your help. Draw us to be devoted in prayer: honest, thankful, and full of faith. Open doors for us to speak the mystery of Christ with clarity and courage. Teach us to walk in wisdom toward others and to let our conversations be filled with grace, seasoned with truth. Strengthen us to encourage one another and to remain faithful to Your mission for us. May we reflect Christ in our words, actions, and attitudes. Use us to bring Your hope and light into every place we go. Thought Questions: What motivates you to be careful how you speak to unbelievers? How might your words be a testimony to the goodness of Christ? How is your prayer life? Why must you bring thankfulness into prayer and direct attention toward praying for other workers in the kingdom? Who are some people you know who encourage you because of their active faith and labor for the Lord? Will you pray for them today?

In a fallen world, we are all quick to forget God's grace and let anger, pride, or hurt rule our hearts.In today's episode, we return to Paul's sermon series from the archives, David: A Matter of the Heart. In this message, Paul takes us to 1 Samuel 25, where David faces insult and betrayal from Nabal. In his anger, David is ready to take vengeance into his own hands—until God intervenes through the wisdom and courage of Abigail.To hear more sermons from Paul, visit PaulTripp.com/Sermons.

The Wilderness E3 — In the Bible, the wilderness is a hostile, dangerous place where humans can't survive. Because of this, the wilderness also reminds us that we all live on the precipice of life and death, and our survival depends on the one who is greater than us. The Bible's earliest wilderness stories depict humans finding themselves in this setting due to their own foolish choices or the foolish choices of others. In this episode, Jon and Tim look at the wilderness stories of Adam and Eve, Hagar, and Moses, highlighting how God responds with surprising compassion.CHAPTERSRecap and Setup for Today's Stories (0:00-11:36)Adam and Eve Exiled Into the Wilderness (11:36-20:31)Hagar Flees From Abraham and Sarah Into the Wilderness (20:31-45:13)Moses Flees From Pharaoh Into the Wilderness (45:13-1:08:15)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESTim references an episode from The Exodus Way series about Abraham and Hagar.

Together, with Fr. Mike, we examine the New Law or the Law of the Gospel. Fr. Mike emphasizes that the New Law “fulfills, refines, surpasses, and leads the Old Law to its perfection.” He also explains how the New Law of Christ that is expressed through the Sermon on the Mount is perfected by the grace of the Holy Spirit and works through charity and the Sacraments.

During today's conversation on Back Porch Theology, Alli and I are tip-toeing carefully into foreign territory because we're talking about the massive benefit of having moments when we're not talking! C.S. Lewis wrote extensively about the value of solitary moments and considered silence to be a powerful force for spiritual transformation – he described it as a strategic way to get closer to God. It's going to be a good day on the porch, y'all – whether you're a saint of few words or a gabber like us – so please pour yourself a mug of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate, grab your Bible, and pull up a chair. We're so glad we get to spend this time leaning more fully into the love of God with you. Find out more from Hope For The Heart Here.

In today's Atheist Experience, Justin and Jim Barrows dissect the flimsy foundations of faith, critique the peculiar "design" of the human body, and explore the logical leaps required to uphold belief in the face of scientific understanding. They challenge callers on everything from deconstruction guilt and family relationships to questionable links between Kabbalah and quantum physics.Mary Cate in NC is working through deconstruction and feels guilty, missing her religious community. The hosts suggest building new secular communities and emphasize that maintaining family relationships without endorsing beliefs is not dishonest. What steps can one take to navigate these complex social dynamics?Ben in KS, an agnostic, questions if science's inability to explain "spirituality" or deeper layers of existence leaves room for God, citing particle-wave duality. Hosts challenge him to define which God and argue that naturalistic explanations, supported by Occam's Razor, remain the most coherent approach. If a God is added, how does one explain that God's grounding?Daisy in WA asks if dogmatic religions can be disproven, unlike deism. Justin and Jim provide numerous examples of internal contradictions within the Bible and the Quran, highlighting scientific errors and failed prophecies. How do these internal inconsistencies challenge the claims of divine inspiration?Hannah claims that modern physics, specifically the concept of ten dimensions and the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, provides evidence for Kabbalah and an unknowable Godhead. The hosts dismiss these as coincidental numerical matches and misrepresentations of scientific principles without testable evidence. Why do such parallels, without supporting evidence, often amount to pareidolia?Benji, a theist, discusses the point of converting atheists if worship is subjective and brings up the "terra fallacy" regarding insufficient evidence. The hosts clarify the distinction between belief and worship, stating that objective evidence of God's existence would be compelling, unlike failed prophecies. What kind of evidence would be universally convincing for existence, but not necessarily for worship?Jim in MO asks if free will truly exists with an omniscient, omnipotent God. Justin and Jim explain that while omniscience alone doesn't negate free will, combining it with omnipotence creates a problem of predetermination and the problem of evil. Does God's ultimate power mean our choices are merely part of a divine plan?Thank you for joining us this week!

“How Do I Learn About Catholicism?” This episode explores the significance of Mary in Catholic teaching and the papacy, addressing questions like why some reject Catholicism due to the papacy, how non-Catholics can begin their journey of faith, and where to find biblical support for Mary’s perpetual virginity. Join The CA Live Club Newsletter: Click Here Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 08:17 – My friend is not Catholic because popes have been wicked or corrupt. 14:16 – I am not a Catholic but want to learn more. How do I go about doing this? 19:34 – Where can I find Mary's perpetual virginity in the Bible? I am a lapsed Catholic. 34:50 – Does Joseph have a body and soul in Heaven? 37:40 – I'm not sure if I'm Catholic; if I have a godfather, does that mean that I am? 43:04 – To play Devil's advocate, could all the secular accounts of Jesus be mentions of Christian texts and not Christ himself?

Today, Pastor Jack teaches us that when we have no appetite for the Bible, we end up investing in our own desires. Samuel experienced this firsthand while dealing with a corrupt priesthood. So, just as God led him to do, Samuel warned the people to come back to worshipping God or face the consequences.

He recognizes that Jesus holds authority over death and sickness. This story is inspired by Luke 7:1-17. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is Luke 7:9 from the King James Version.Episode 185: As a roman centurion sat beside his sick servant, he called his officials and sent them to find Jesus. When the officials found Jesus, they asked Him to heal the centurion's servant. But as Jesus got ready to head to the man's house, he sent a servant to explain to Him his unworthiness and to request that Jesus merely speak and it would be done. Jesus was amazed at this man's faith and the centurion's servant was healed.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

I breathe just to live. I walk to live. I eat, drink, and sleep to live. Is there a benefit to breathing more or differently than necessary? I walk more than necessary for my health and fitness and go so far as to run quite a bit. I don't eat and drink more for my health but I eat better and drink better. I definitely sleep more than necessary for pure survival. So even though it's never been a focus, it makes sense that the breathing I do to keep me alive might also give me a benefit if I did more than just the minimums to do so. Breathing brings oxygen into my body. More oxygen, more benefit. As you're about to hear, the concept of breath and breathing is an incredibly frequent term in spirituality, appearing 137 times in the Bible alone, and it is not in reference to my physiology. In this podcast I sit down with Francesca Sipma, author of Unblock Your Purpose:  Breathwork, Intuition, and Flow State. She is the founder and CEO of Mastry, an online app that guides you through breathwork sessions. Francesca is also the creator of HypnoBreathwork® and a renowned international speaker who has become one of the premier personalities and advocates for the power of breathwork. I found Francesca to be very down to earth and tangible with the concept of breathwork and I'm now a client of hers as well. As you will hear, I am very interested in a method I can practice to alter and enhance my physiology and psychology, without jumping through the hoops of drugs and even plant medicine.

If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)YouTube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comColossians 3Believers must set their hearts and minds on heavenly things, not earthly desires. Having died to their old lives and been raised with Christ, they are called to cast off sinful behaviors like immorality, anger, and slander. Instead, they should clothe themselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Forgiveness is key, just as Jesus forgave them. Above all virtues, love binds everything together in perfect unity. Paul emphasizes letting Christ's peace rule in their hearts and encourages believers to be thankful. The message of Christ should dwell richly among them, expressed through teaching, wisdom, and songs of praise. In all they do, they are to act in the name of the Lord Jesus. Lastly, Paul addresses family dynamics, encouraging wives, husbands, and children to embody Christ's presence within the home. If we are raised in Christ, we must flee old habits that no longer define us in Him, like sexual sin or bitterness toward others. In our daily lives, we should actively choose purity of heart, compassion, and forgiveness, even when it is hard. When tensions rise at home, work, or with friends, we must remember to let Christ's peace guide our responses. Love must be the foundation of everything we do, being featured in our family. In every situation, whether speaking, working, or serving, we are called to do it all in Jesus' name with thankfulness. True transformation is about growing into the image of Christ—reflecting His character and honoring Him in every relationship, every decision, and every moment.   Loving Father, thank You for raising us to new life in Christ. Help us to set our hearts on things above and to let go of anything that pulls us away from You. Clothe us with character traits that emulate Christ. Empower us to forgive as You have forgiven us, and let Your peace rule in our hearts. May love guide all we do, and may the message of Christ dwell richly within us, especially in our marriage and homes. Whatever we say or do today, let it be in the name of Jesus, giving thanks to You always.  Thought Questions: What helps you keep seeking things above and set your mind on heavenly things? How is this more than morning prayer and bible study? In what way is love the perfect bond of unity? What helps you show patience, compassion, and forgiveness for those who wrong you? “It is the Lord Christ whom you serve.” Why is this mindset vital in the home, with marriages and relationships between parents and children?

Recording from Washington, DC Gospel Truth Conference 2018: The Christian life isn't just hard—it's impossible to live in your own strength.

"Why is does Zephaniah use a strong tone at the beginning of the book, and how would the original audience have heard that? How does the concept of ""a remnant"" function in Zephaniah's prophecy, and how might it have given hope to his listeners? In today's episode, Emma Dotter and Watermark member, Matt Hein, set up the book of Zephaniah and talk how the Israelites were being called back to God's heart out of a place of complacency.

Show Summary: How long have you been listening to the God Hears Her podcast? Today, we are so excited to celebrate 200 episodes with you! Join producers Jade Gustman and Mary Jo Clark as they talk to hosts Elisa Morgan, Eryn Eddy Adkins, and Vivian Mabuni about what it's like to work on God Hears Her and how they all came to be working on the podcast. You don't want to miss this fun and special God Hears Her conversation!   Notes and Quotes:   “Especially as a woman, when He invites you through a door of opportunity to lead, you go through it. But you keep your foot in the door for the next woman behind you.” —Elisa Morgan  “We've had a lot of identity conversations on this show, which have just been an absolute blessing for me because it reminds me to recenter myself with who's defining me, and that's God. It's not my job, it's not my body, it's not my children, it's not my status of being single or married.” —Mary Jo Clark  “Faith builds faith. When I'm listening to these stories of faith, it has built mine.” —Eryn Eddy Adkins  “God knows. He sees. He hears. We say it all the time in the podcast, but it's true! We belong to Him. None of our thumbprints are the same. None of our stories are the same. What an honor to be able to have that moment to hear these stories and to recognize God at work. God is a 360-degree God. He shows Himself faithful. It [these stories] helps me to build a framework for when life gets challenging.” —Vivian Mabuni  “The Lord is not going to abandon me. The Lord has put me here—specifically here—for a reason. I will grow and I will change and I will heal, and it will be a constant journey, but knowing that the Lord is still hearing me—He's always here, and He's always leading us.” —Jade Gustman  “My spiritual growth has been impacted by the permission I have been given through these women's stories.” —Mary Jo Clark  “Even if I still feel unqualified at the end, God brought me through something that was an opportunity to grow and to build muscles. Just because you're not qualified doesn't mean that God isn't calling you.” —Mary Jo Clark   Verses:   Psalmists  Moses leading God's people   Related Episodes: GHH Ep 94 – Q&A with Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/qa/ GHH Ep 100 – Looking Back to Move Forward: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/looking-back-to-move-forward-our-100th-episode/  Links:  God Hears Her website: https://go.odb.org/ghh191  Subscribe to the God Hears Her YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM Share Your Story:  https://godhearsher.org/share-your-story/ God Hears Her email sign-up: https://go.odb.org/ghh-sign-upsfmc191
