A Christmas Message MESSAGE SUMMARY: The real meaning of Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Jesus the Christ – the Messiah, who is the Savior of the World. Christians emphasize Christmas and Jesus' birth because His birth: 1) fulfills many Biblical prophesies, especially n terms of the time and location of Jesus' birth; 2) points the fact that Jesus was more than just a man; 3) and life saw Jesus claim the right to forgive sins; 4) led Jesus to call God His “Father”, which indicated that Jesus was God; 5) resulted in Jesus' Resurrection, which validated Jesus' claims and made Him different; and 6) was God, through Jesus' birth, still trying to get our attention. God, through His Grace and through the birth of Jesus, did for us what we could not do for ourselves – save ourselves from our sins and our death that would result from our sins. God, through the birth of Jesus -- the God-Man, entered into our earthly mess to save us because, after God's Grace and Jesus' birth, all our sin now resides on Jesus. God's Grace through the birth of Jesus, demonstrates God's love for us. God wants us to know that Jesus was born for us out of His love for us. Therefore, we need to consider that God, the Creator of the Universe, entered the world, through the baby Jesus for us so that we might have a personal relationship with Him. Have you yielded to God so that your mind's consideration of God's Grace, love, and Jesus' birth can move from your mind into a commitment of both your mind and your heart to your faith in Jesus as your Savior and into God's service? Until we yield to God's lordship over our lives, we are saying to God that “we don't need your love”. Is Jesus your Lord and, therefore, your Savior? God has given you the greatest Christmas gift that you will ever receive. Have you accepted His Gift and opened His gift into your life? If not, then why not? With your hands open, you can accept God's Christmas gift by saying: “I am sorry; thank you; and please”. TODAY'S PRAYER: Keeping the Sabbath, Lord, will require a lot of changes in the way I am living life. Teach me, Lord, how to take the next step with this in a way that fits my unique personality and situation. Help me to trust you with all that will remain unfinished and to enjoy my humble place in your very large world. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 129). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM RIGHTEOUS IN GOD'S EYES. God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God. (2 Corinthians 5:21).

Bible News Prophecy with Dr Bob Thiel Countdown to the Great Tribulation Is 2026 the year the Great Tribulation finally begins? Is this the start of a Sabbatical cycle some have postulated counts down to the return of Jesus? Is a Sabbatical cycle or Jubilee year even mentioned by Jesus as a leading indicator of the Great Tribulation? Jesus, Himself, pointed to events, including some written by the prophet Daniel. If God has placed some of the understanding of the signs of the beginning of the Great Tribulation in the words of Daniel the prophet till the time of the end, what are those signs? If 2026 is not the year the Great Tribulation begins, could any of the signs mentioned in the book of Daniel begin to take place in 2026? Could this year be the beginning of the end? Do you want to know? In Matthew 24:3 Jesus' disciples wanted to know. Of course, we know Jesus said no one knows the day or the hour, but Jesus also told us in Matthew 24:33 that we will know when it is at the very doors! What about the timing of Armageddon? Surely you, just like the disciples, want to know. Watch this video as Dr. Thiel shines the light of Biblical prophecy on the future of the possibilities that await us in the new calendar year. Listen as Dr. Thiel explains the scriptures that prophesy a seven year (one week) 'peace deal' in Daniel, the breaking of that deal, the rise of the king of the north and the king of the south, the Great Tribulation and the return of our Lord and Savior. The time for the countdown to begin is close at hand. Read the full article to this video titled “Can the Great Tribulation Countdown Come in 2026? Countdown to Armageddon in 2026?” at URL https://www.cogwriter.com/news/prophecy/can-the-great-tribulation-countdown-come-in-2026/

Welcome to Day 2761 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – The Coequality of the Trinity: An exploration through Biblical Verse and Early Church Writings. Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2761 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2761 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons can be found on his website theologyinfive.com. Today's lesson is titled The Coequality of the Trinity: An exploration through Biblical Verse and Early Church Writings. The doctrine of the Trinity is one of the central tenets of Christian theology, establishing the belief in God as three-in-one: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This mystery, at its core, asserts that these three Persons are coequal. This belief has not been accepted without contention. However, by studying the Bible and the writings of the Early Church Fathers, a clear thread of supporting evidence emerges. To begin with, let's explore the Scriptural evidence for the co-equality of the Trinity. The first segment is: THE HOLY BIBLE. In the New Testament, the Gospel of John provides substantial support for the Trinitarian concept. In John one, verse one, it states: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” This verse speaks to the preexistence and divinity of the Word, or the Son (Jesus Christ). The Word is not a creation of God, but God himself. In the same vein, John ten, verse thirty quotes Jesus as saying, “I and the Father are one.” This not only illustrates the unity of the Father and the Son, but also their equality, as Jesus identifies himself on the same level as the Father. Matthew twenty-eight, verse nineteen is a critical verse: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” Here, Jesus himself authorizes baptisms in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, emphasizing their co-equality and unified nature. In 2 Corinthians thirteen, verse fourteen, Paul gives a blessing in the name of all three Persons of the Trinity: “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.” Paul's blessing highlights the distinct roles of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, but also their inseparable unity and co-equality. Colossians two, verse nines ays, “For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form.” The ‘fullness of Deity' indicates Christ's full and equal participation in Godhood. For the Holy Spirit, we see in 1 Corinthians two, verses ten and eleven, “these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.” This verse highlights the Holy Spirit's intimate knowledge and participation in the Divine, further emphasizing His co-equality in the Trinity. Finally, in Acts five, verses three and four, when Peter accuses Ananias of lying to the Holy Spirit, he states, “You have not lied just to human...

In a time when boys are struggling to know their purpose and identity, look to the beautiful story of Christmas. First, Jesus' time on earth gives young men guidance. Jesus embodies Biblical masculinity. He loves, heals, delivers, and sacrifices. Second, the Christmas story grounds boys. In our society where everything is fluid, the absolute truth of God's word gives young men a foundation to stand on. Thirdly, the gift of Jesus Christ proves everyone's infinite worth. And finally, the Christmas story is inspiring. Boys always want to know what's at stake– and the life and death of Jesus proves that laying down our life for others is the greatest call. May these days of the holiday season remind your son– and you– to thank God for the amazing gift of redemption through Jesus.

Mark Thompson fills in for Tim Conway Jr. and kicks off the show with KFI’s own Michael Monks, breaking down the much-hyped “biblical” storm bearing down on Southern California. While officials are taking the threat seriously — especially in vulnerable burn scar areas — Michael notes that so far it’s been more drizzle than deluge. The conversation turns to the real complications of urging people to stay home on Christmas, when family obligations often override evacuation warnings.Next, Mark welcomes back Board Wizard Stef Foosh, newly returned after recovering from a serious accident, and reflects on how grateful the KFI family is to have him back. The hour then shifts into a deep dive on the Reiner murders, sparked by a listener email questioning competency to stand trial. Mark unpacks the legal and mental health dimensions of the case, including schizophrenia, responsibility, and whether the actions surrounding the crime itself undermine claims of incompetence. Mark plays the latest audio updates and continues exploring how often these arguments surface in major criminal cases.The hour lightens as Mark and Foosh spar — and finally agree — on embracing Christmas bumper music with the holiday just 48 hours away. To close, Mark talks with Bobbi Leonard, founder of a purpose-driven skincare brand that supports animal welfare, about building a small business with a mission and the surprising growth of her company.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Introduction Are you walking through a hard season and wondering where God is in it? If you're feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or confused by what God is allowing, this episode is for you. In today's episode, we explore four people from the Bible who endured deep trials—and what their responses reveal about how God works in difficult seasons. You'll learn four powerful questions you can ask yourself when life feels heavy, questions that can shift your perspective, strengthen your faith, and bring clarity even when answers feel far away. This episode is especially for Christian women navigating hardship, whether that's health struggles, emotional exhaustion, uncertainty, or a season that simply doesn't make sense yet. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why hardship doesn't mean God has abandoned you How your response to trials can change your future Biblical examples of faith during suffering Four life-changing questions to ask God in difficult seasons How God often provides before we even notice Biblical Lessons on Trials, Faith, and God's Provision 1. The Israelites in the Wilderness: Recognizing God's Provision The Israelites experienced miracles—freedom from Egypt, the parting of the Red Sea—yet still found themselves wandering in the wilderness. Their story reminds us that complaining and unbelief can blind us to God's daily provision. God provided manna every day, even while they grumbled. Life-Changing Question #1: What is the “manna” God has already placed in your life that you may be overlooking? God often supplies what we need before we recognize it. 2. Hagar: Seeing the Provision That Was Always There Hagar's story is one of pain, rejection, and survival. Alone in the wilderness with her son, she believed death was inevitable—until God opened her eyes to a well of water that had been there all along. Life-Changing Question #2: What provision or answer might God be placing right in front of you that you can't see yet? Distraction, grief, trauma, and exhaustion can keep us from noticing God's help. 3. Paul in Prison: Using Hard Seasons for God's Glory Paul endured imprisonment, beatings, and hardship—yet instead of giving up, he used his suffering to encourage others. Some of the most impactful books of the New Testament were written while he was in chains. Life-Changing Question #3: How can God use this hard season for His glory? God doesn't waste suffering when we remain willing. 4. Joseph: Serving Faithfully While Waiting Joseph's story reminds us that delay is not denial. Sold into slavery, falsely accused, and imprisoned, Joseph continued to serve with integrity. His willingness to encourage others—even while waiting for his own breakthrough—ultimately led to freedom and fulfillment. Life-Changing Question #4: Who is the “cupbearer” in your life that God is calling you to serve right now? Sometimes our breakthrough comes through serving others faithfully. Time-Stamped Highlights 00:00 – Four biblical figures who endured trials 01:00 – The Israelites and the danger of grumbling 03:20 – Identifying the “manna” in your life 04:20 – Hagar's wilderness story and unseen provision 06:44 – God opening our eyes to what's already there 09:10 – Paul's imprisonment and faithful endurance 11:06 – Using hardship for God's glory 11:36 – Joseph's long road from dream to fulfillment 13:58 – Serving others while waiting for breakthrough 16:53 – Faith-filled next steps for health and clarity Key Takeaways God provides even when we're struggling to trust Him Hard seasons often reveal what needs to shift in our hearts Faithfulness in suffering matters more than circumstances Serving others can be the doorway to your breakthrough God's timing is purposeful, even when it's painful Feeling Stuck in Your Health or Life Right Now? If you're in a season where things feel heavy, confusing, or overwhelming—especially when it comes to your health—you don't have to figure it out alone. Work With Me I offer one-time Health Clarity Sessions—faith-fueled conversations focused on discernment, peace, and wise next steps, not diagnosis or protocols.

Guest host Gary Varvel delivers a powerful Christmas Eve message examining the moral chaos gripping America through a biblical lens. Drawing from Romans, Isaiah, and the New Testament, Gary argues that today's cultural confusion, violence, and lawlessness are not random—but the result of a society that has rejected God and truth. He explains why political solutions, legislation, and government programs cannot fix a spiritual problem, and why secularism always leads to decay. In the midst of sobering realities, Gary points listeners back to the true hope of Christmas: Jesus Christ, the Savior who came not to affirm us, but to rescue us. A clear-eyed, unapologetic message of warning, redemption, and eternal hope.
Bench Press and Biblical Truth: The Strength of Dr. Trent RogersDr. Trent Rogers doesn't fit the stereotype of a Bible professor and college dean. Sure, he's got the credentials — a doctorate in New Testament, years of pastoral experience, and a deep love for Scripture. But he also once bench-pressed 670 pounds, setting a world record. That same drive to be the best shapes everything he does, from the classroom to his leadership at Cedarville University.Trent's path to academic ministry wasn't direct. He started with a degree in ancient and classical Greek from Wabash College, aiming to read the New Testament in its original form. He imagined life in church ministry, not on a college campus. In fact, when he joined Grace Baptist Church in Cedarville, he ranked “college ministry” dead last on his list of preferences.But God had different plans.When the college ministry volunteer stepped away, Trent unexpectedly stepped in — and what began as a reluctant assignment quickly became a passion. He discovered students who were eager to grow, ask meaningful questions, and pursue Christ with conviction. Their hunger for direction and truth stirred something in him. Over the next five years, not only did his heart change, but so did the direction of his calling.Today, as Dean of the School of Biblical and Theological Studies, Trent brings the same passion to shaping students as he once brought to training with elite athletes. Before Cedarville, he worked as a personal trainer in Chicago, coaching everyone from businessmen to NFL stars like Devin Hester. Whether he's teaching Greek, launching academic programs, or designing a personal fitness regimen, his goal remains the same: to do it well and purposefully.What began as reluctance has become calling. Now, Trent leads with clarity, compassion, and a deep belief in Cedarville's mission to equip students for a lifetime of faithful service.To hear more of his story, check out the Cedarville Stories podcast.https://share.transistor.fm/s/4ce82391https://youtu.be/26dd7nqxTj8
Peter Grandich delivers his most bearish outlook in a 40+ year career, predicting 2026-2027 could be the most challenging years in 50 years due to mounting debt ($38T heading to $50T), political division worse than any time since the Civil War, and a deteriorating middle class hanging by its fingernails. He explains why this was his best five-year period after moving entirely into gold and precious metals in 2021, with price targets of $5,000 for gold and $100 for silver still ahead. He warns we're in the earliest stages of becoming a banana republic as BRICS launches a gold-backed trading unit and de-dollarization accelerates.This episode is brought to you by VanEck.

Is the Christmas story based on blind faith—or solid historical evidence? In this special Christmas episode of Bible and Theology Matters, Paul Weaver explores how biblical archaeology directly affirms the historicity of the Christmas story. From ancient Babylonian ration tablets to the massive stone architecture of Herod the Great, archaeology confirms the people, places, and political realities described in the Gospels.

It's free to us, but COSTLY to God -1 Cr 6:19-203. The CROSS is God's greatest act of grace -Ro 5:84. SALVATION is a free gift from God -Ro 6:235. It must be received by FAITH -Ep 2:8-96.

New Testament command: Jn 3:16-18, Ep 2:8-9, 1 Pt 1:13Teach them that failure is never final1.

Help them remove the power of the SECRECY and condemnation by practicing repentance and confession with some mature believers you can trust3.
