2 Samuel 23, 1 Chronicles 11-12 / January 5-6, 2026 Somewhere back in time, you and I were given a faulty set of instructions. Somewhere we learned that only the most famous or the star athlete or the most publicly gifted individual is worth our time and attention, our respect and our loudest applause. But in reality, if it wasn't for the people who surround them, these well-known individuals would quickly fade in popularity and become among the most commonplace.

In this week's More Than Conquerors, Terry and Reneé Mize address a vital question every believer must learn to ask: Is this harmless—or is it spiritually harmful?From attitudes and influences to entertainment, culture, and everyday choices, this message highlights the importance of discernment and guarding what we allow into our hearts and homes. Scripture reminds us that small compromises can quietly open doors we never intended to open.This teaching will help you sharpen your spiritual awareness, strengthen your convictions, and live with clarity in a world where right and wrong are often blurred.
Join Peter Hockley for an enlightening message on being vigilant in faith. Drawing from the Olivet Discourse, explore the teachings of Jesus Christ on the importance of staying spiritually awake and prepared for His return. Reflect on passages from Luke and Mark, and learn how to align your life with God's will. This program offers both instruction and inspiration for living a purposeful Christian life in anticipation of Christ's Return. *(1) Take heed - be careful, watch out, mind how you live as a Christian (Romans 13:11-14). *(2) Watch – Be diligent in your duty and ready for the Master's Return (Mark 13:34). *(3) Pray – Be prayerful as you take heed and keep watch: “Watch therefore, and pray always" (Luke 21:36). Mark 14:38: “Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak (to do God's will).” Ephesians 6:18: "Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints." Mark 13:33: “Take heed, watch and pray.” Mark 13:37: “And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!”
Luke 9:22-25 / January 1-2, 2026 No one wants to look back at the end of the year and see wasted time. No one hopes to drift aimlessly through life, doing things without at least some lasting value. The difficulty lies in the fact many of us simply don't know what we need to do to give life purpose. Well, Jesus has three answers—three “musts”—for each of us.

This episode marks a new beginning for this podcast feed. After a season of silence and reflection, Curtis shares why the show is changing and introduces Talmid Bible Study, a podcast devoted to Bible-based devotional and teaching content. Moving away from comedy, this feed will now focus on opening Scripture regularly, slowing down to listen, and letting God's Word shape how we think, live, and love. Whether through devotionals or sermons the heart of this podcast is simple: to help listeners grow as faithful followers of Jesus.
• Is there a form of human government that can produce a peaceful and prosperous society? • Can sinful leaders and sinful citizens ever form a good or ideal society? • Do all Christians have the same understanding about the future with regards to the Kingdom of God? • Does it really matter what we believe about the Kingdom of God or how everything ends? Isn't it just enough to know that God wins? • So we see from these examples that how we believe history will end does affect the way we live today. Can sinful men form a government that can produce a perfect society and solve all social ills? Listen to this message to learn that there will never be a utopian society fair to all until Jesus Christ rules for 1,000 years in His Millennial Kingdom. Hear three views of the Kingdom of God and see that what is believed plays a significant role in what happens in human governments. Hear what the early Church fathers taught about the Kingdom and how gradually many came to believe the false view that the Church has replaced Israel.

Perfect for those seeking to rekindle their Christian walk and understand the profound truths of spiritual growth.

The Lord is doing something new, and He is inviting us to trust Him fully in this transition.

Key Points:A new year doesn't make us new—intentional steps taken beforehand do.Growth comes not from experience alone, but from reflecting on it.God calls His people to remember His Word and live by it.Remembering God's Word means reading, obeying, and applying it daily.True repentance is a change of mind that leads to a change of direction.John the Baptist fulfilled Malachi's promise by calling people to repentance.Restoration comes only through Jesus, not the law or prophets.Jesus took the curse upon Himself on the cross to offer blessing and renewal.Before entering a new year, believers must intentionally unpack what weighs them down and carry forward what draws them closer to God.Scripture References:Malachi 4:4–6Deuteronomy 4:8–10Joshua 1:7–8Exodus 20:1–17 (Ten Commandments – referenced)Matthew 22:37–40Psalm 119:105Job 23:121 Kings 18 (Elijah on Mount Carmel – referenced)Luke 1:13–17Matthew 11:14Acts 2:38Matthew 17:11–121 Peter 4:17 ------------------------------------------We're so glad you're here!

• God starts the church at Pentecost. • The church on earth is united with the ascended, seated Lord Jesus in Heaven. • The mission of the church is to make disciples of Christ. • The church has spiritual enemies and will suffer from the attack of Satan. • God will protect the church from Israel's Tribulation. • God will evaluate the church's performance at the Judgment Seat of Christ. • The church will return to earth with Jesus to start the Kingdom. What is the difference between a believer and a disciple in the Church Age? Listen to this lesson to understand the ways that God's plan for the Church Age differs from His plan for Israel. See that in the Church Age all believers are indwelt by the Holy Spirit, their Helper. Find out that Church Age believers are to grow to spiritual maturity by studying God's Word and walking by means of the Holy Spirit and that the Church Age ends when believers are taken to Heaven to escape the Tribulation. Understand that after being evaluated at the Judgment Seat of Christ they will return with Christ to earth and have roles in the Kingdom. Click for information about the DBM Israel 2026 Tour.

The Promise Already There: Advent episode on Luke 1:39-45In this episode Margaux shares a recent revelation from Luke 1:39-45. Waiting isn't always what we think it is. Did you know that the moment you believed, the promise began to grow? You are not waiting from something to happen- SOMETHING IS ALREADY HAPPENING. If God has given you a promise, you are already in process of receiving that promise. Even the very vibrations and experience of hearing Mary's voice ( in her greeting to Elizabeth ) was FULL of the Holy Spirit - to the point that Elizabeth was overcome by the presence of God. And it was what was growing inside of her that caused her to release such a spirit- saturated greeting.Reflection questions: Are we unaware of the same power that is being released in our voices? What are you carrying that God wants to be released into the world tthrough your voice? What are you waiting for? Who do you want to be while you are in the interim time?We are going TOGETHER: BREATHING UNDERWATER MEMBERSHIPSMore on Breathing Underwater Memberships HEREJoin the Community and Newsletter: HERE Email: margaux@permissiontoreign.comInstagram: @permission_to_reignIntro Music by Coma-Media from PixabayImage by Claire Fischer from UnsplashOleksii Kaplunskyi
