Speaker: Brent Kercheville. We have spending our time looking at the regrettable decisions people made when they encountered Jesus. Imagine that you had the opportunity to speak to Jesus. Imagine if you had the opportunity to see one of Jesus' miracles. Imagine if you could ask Jesus one question. In Mark 10 we are going to read about […] The post Rejecting Repentance (Mark 10:17-31) appeared first on Biblical Truths from West Palm Beach church of Christ.

Speaker: Brent Kercheville. The prophecy of Jeremiah has been a book of failure. As we come to the end of our study of Jeremiah we are taking a moment to look back at the failure of the people of Judah. They have traded the Lord for things that are not gods (Jeremiah 2:10-11). They have exchanged the fountain […] The post Graciously Freed (Jeremiah 50-52) appeared first on Biblical Truths from West Palm Beach church of Christ.

Today’s Bible Verse: “Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all.” — 1 Chronicles 29:12 (NIV) 1 Chronicles 29:12 reminds us where true power, provision, and honor originate. Spoken by King David, this verse anchors leadership, success, and abundance not in human effort, but in God’s sovereign hand. Everything we have—and everything we become—flows from Him. “Want to listen without ads?

In this episode of Uncommon Sense, I'm calling out a problem no one wants to confront: the normalization of partying, drinking, and casual sex especially among so-called “conservative influencers.”You cannot claim to defend Western Civilization while publicly celebrating the very behaviors that destroyed past civilizations. Conservatism without morality is just aesthetic rebellion.We don't need more clout, cocktails, or compromised values. We need a return to godliness, self-discipline, and moral responsibility because the future generations watching us will inherit whatever standard we tolerate today.If we want to save the West, we have to get serious about being truly Christian again.--https://www.bible.com/

2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NKJV) ALL SCRIPTURE is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. Here's a phrase we introduced last week and it's something every believer needs to get settled, “IT IS WRITTEN”

Speaker: Brent Kercheville. We have been looking at different encounters that people had with Jesus. In today's lesson we are going to look at a group of people who started following Jesus. As we look at this group, I want us to think about this question. Is there a wrong way to follow Jesus? Is it possible to […] The post The Following Crowd (John 6:22-27) appeared first on Biblical Truths from West Palm Beach church of Christ.

Earlier this week I had the privilege of being in the room while our Supreme Court justices heard the case for defending biblical truth in girls' sports. This was not just one, but two historic legal battles fighting for fairness and safeguarding female athletics from biological male participation. After hearing these brave young women share their stories firsthand, I got to sit down with Alliance Defending Freedom's (ADF) Kate Anderson to talk through how these cases made it to our nation's highest Court, and what the justices' decision could mean for Title IX and gender as defined by law. Together Kate and I discussed the West Virginia and Idaho cases that brought us here, and the bravery of our girls to speak up when they saw injustice. Plus we took a look at the personal story of Adela Cross, the track athlete from West Virginia whose spot was taken by a biological male athlete. Later on in the episode we shifted our focus to the fight for parental rights. As more public schools put in place policies that deceive parents—like those mandating gender transitions be kept secret—we looked at how ADF is fighting to ensure parents, not schools, have the final say in how to raise their children. The cases before the Court this week are not just about isolated incidents in two states, the justices' decision will shape how our girls are able to do what they love—and feel safe doing so—for generations to come. This is not a political issue, it's a Genesis 1 issue, and comes down to the biblical definition of God creating us male and female. Pray for wisdom and discernment as the justices deliberate, and together let's stand fearlessly for what's right. 

Luke 11:1 (NKJV) Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, “LORD TEACH US TO PRAY...”

In DTWOL… Something for EVERYONE!, we'll be diving into how Jesus invites every heart—seeker, skeptic, and disciple alike—into a life that is rightly ordered under the Kingdom of God. Through Scripture, everyday imagery, and the truth of God's Word, this Godcast will reveal how discipleship is not something you just "add" to your already busy life, but it's the very center and motion of your life! We'll discover how misplaced priorities create chaos, while seeking God first brings peace, clarity, and produces a true abundant life. And no matter where you are on the journey, this episode points you to Jesus—"... the Way, and the Truth, and the Life"—and invites you to walk with Him and other disciples, amen? God's Word: John 14:6; Galatians 5:16–17; Luke 10:1; Ecclesiastes 4:9–10; Philippians 3:13–14; Colossians 1:28–29; Isaiah 55:11; Additional Scripture references are woven throughout the Godcast and can be gleaned from the full transcript.

Speaker: Brent Kercheville. As you open your copies of God's word to Jeremiah 46, I want us to notice how this section of the book of Jeremiah begins. It simply reads, “The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations” (Jeremiah 46:1). The majority of the book of Jeremiah has been God's gracious […] The post Destroying Pride (Jeremiah 46-49) appeared first on Biblical Truths from West Palm Beach church of Christ.

“Bring Your Bible” is a simple reminder for all of us that actually believe the Bible to be the Word of God, to take a closer look as to how we got to those beliefs. Seriously, Is this book we call The Holy Bible actually God's Word? As we said last week, we have to acknowledge that by design, there is an element of faith involved in accepting the Bible as The Word of God. THE BIBLE— (collection of books) 66 books, 40 writers, one author, 3 languages, over 1500 years The revelation of Jesus Christ and His Kingdom, came directly from Him to His creation.

Welcome to a powerful and heartfelt episode of the Compared to Who? podcast, hosted by Heather Creekmore. In this episode, Heather chats with three real women—Patricia, Diane, and Jess—who have courageously walked through coaching and programs to improve their body image and relationship with food. If you’re tired of feeling stuck in food obsession, diet culture, or shame around your body, this episode is for you! Episode Highlights: The guests share honestly about their lifelong battles with body image, food restriction, calorie counting, and the underlying fears and shame that kept them trapped for years. Patricia Reveals how she lived in “body image bondage” for nearly two decades, mistaking strict dieting for freedom until she discovered the faith-based approach of Compared to Who? and began her journey to genuine freedom. Diane At age 71, reflects on six decades of food obsessions and restricting behaviors, and how finally integrating her faith with her eating and body image struggles began her transformation. Jess Shares how she didn’t realize she even had body image issues until after having kids; she discusses the shame of living in a bigger body, the mental exhaustion of chasing diets, and how true freedom finally came through the support and tools offered in the coaching group. The women and Heather explore the themes of fear, idolatry, objectification, and the dynamic between self-worth and body size. Hear practical, inspiring stories about breaking the cycle of daily weigh-ins, obsessive thoughts, and moralizing food choices. Each guest describes how participation in the 40 Day Body Image Journey, the Body Image Freedom Framework, and intuitive eating coaching offered loving accountability, lasting mindset shifts, and deepened connection to God’s truth about their identity. The episode closes with encouragement for anyone who feels stuck, scared to start, or believes they’re “too old” or “too late” for change. Key Takeaways: Lasting body image freedom isn’t about reaching your “ideal weight”—it’s about shifting your perspective, breaking fear-driven cycles, and finding your worth in God, not a number on the scale. Healing comes in community: support, vulnerability, and shared struggle are powerful in bringing freedom from shame and isolation. No matter your age or how long you’ve struggled, there is hope and there is help.

In this urgent opening message, Dr. Michael Youssef issues a bold call to reclaim our God-ordained duty to raise the next generation in Biblical Truth. Drawing from Psalm 127, Dr. Youssef exposes the Marxist roots of today's cultural deception and warns of the systematic targeting of family, faith, and identity. Children are not victims of culture—they are arrows meant to pierce darkness and advance the Kingdom of God. This episode calls parents, grandparents, and church leaders to train children not to conform to the world, but to stand as warriors of Truth—sharpened by Scripture, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and aimed by the hand of God. Now is the time to embrace your mission.

Are you struggling to live the Christian life? Rick emphasizes that it's not about willpower but relying on the Holy Spirit's power to manifest God's love and righteousness in your life.

In DTWOL… A Fresh Set of Eyes confronts the difference between physical eyesight and spiritual vision. This Godcast reveals that perception is not reality—revelation is solely given by the only true God. Through Scripture you'll see God's workmanship in Lydia.

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 

John 18, paraphrase, Pilate is having a conversation with Jesus, and asks Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” Jesus looked at Pilate and said, “The royal power of my kingdom realm is not from this realm.” Then Pilate said, “so You are a king?” Jesus said, “I AM, I was born a King, and THIS IS WHY I HAVE COME INTO THIS REALM.” Here's just a few other reasons mentioned in the scriptures of why Jesus came to earth: Matthew 5, I came to fulfill the Law and Prophets Matthew 10, I came to bring a sword, (to set apart from the world for loyalty) Luke 4, I came to preach the gospel of the Kingdom Luke 12, I came to set fire on the earth, ( a holy reverence) John10, I came that you may have abundant life 1 Timothy 1, He came to save sinners 1 John 3, He came to destroy the works of the devil

Why is understanding grace essential? Dive into the vital distinction between faith as our response to God's unmerited favor and the perils of performance-based religion.

Speaker: Brent Kercheville. What gives us the strength to be faithful and trust God to the end? All of us want to be faithful of our whole lives. We want to be strong in our faith and even stronger as we come to the end of our walk with the Lord. But how can we trust him all […] The post Trust Him To The End (2 Chronicles 14-16) appeared first on Biblical Truths from West Palm Beach church of Christ.

Six years ago, I made my first YouTube video warning about Donald Trump's dangerous impact—not just on our nation, but on the souls of those who support him. This week's primetime speech confirmed what many of us have long seen: Trump is unraveling, and his movement is more toxic than ever.   In this episode, I break down the central truth his followers still refuse to face—and why truth itself is on the line for Christians in America. I share my pastoral concern, rooted in Scripture, about what happens when the people of God embrace lies in the name of Jesus.

Since God's word is our foundation of truth, a lamp unto our feet, a light for our path. If Jesus told His first disciples to pray His will be done on earth as it is in Heaven, and God never changes, would it be fare to say we're supposed to be doing the same thing His first disciples did?

The question we need to ask ourselves is do we honestly believe that Jesus still heals today? Think about it, this side of Heaven, in this fallen, cursed world, outside of miracles or the practice of medicine, according to Jesus, healing by an individual's faith is still a reality. And a key component in us experiencing healing by faith is that we have to get settled on what God's will is concerning this reality.

What about us today? Now that we are in Christ, are we suppose to to carry on the things He did? Seriously, follow Jesus through the scriptures, every where He went to preach the people brought their sick to His meetings. Why? They had heard something. They came to hear Him and be healed

Our new talk “Mind Your Mind” is a simple challenge for all of us to take a closer look at what's influencing our mind. What's shaping our thought life. Maybe even take a step back and ask ourselves, why we believe what we believe. Seriously, think about what we're asking people to believe. We have to understand, regardless of where someone is in their journey, every human lives within the boundaries of a belief system we've established.

Have you ever felt stuck in your faith? Andrew Wommack challenges the misconception that faith moves God, revealing how it's actually our faith that appropriates God's grace that's already available.

Speaker: Brent Kercheville. Romans 5 has proclaimed the powerful work of Christ to reverse our condition as we were under the power of sin. While we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). But Christ's magnificent, saving work requires a response. In our last lesson we noted the apostle Paul teaching that our baptism means something.

But how you […] The post Seeking Great Things (Jeremiah 44-45) appeared first on Biblical Truths from West Palm Beach church of Christ.

In this episode, we expose a silent sin that is quietly weakening Christians from the inside out. Many believers overlook this area completely, yet Scripture warns us repeatedly about it. Gluttony, sloth, complacency, and lack of discipline are destroying the spiritual strength of countless Christians — and almost no one talks about it.Mallory and I break down what the Bible actually says, why this sin goes unnoticed, and how believers can defeat it through repentance, discipline, and walking in the Spirit (Galatians 5:16).If you've ever felt spiritually dull, unmotivated, or stuck in cycles of comfort, this episode will help you see what's really going on — and how to overcome it through Christ.✝️ COACHING WITH DAVID! https://imdavidhammond.com✝️ COACHING WITH MALLORY! https://biblicallyfeminine.com
