Read Revelation 14:1-16:21.The confrontation between God and Pharaoh in Exodus foreshadowed an even greater conflict still to come. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef turns to Revelation 16, where seven bowls of judgment are poured out upon a rebellious world and the kingdom of the Antichrist.These judgments echo the plagues of Egypt on a global scale: painful sores, seas and rivers turned to blood, scorching heat, supernatural darkness, upheaval surrounding the Euphrates, and finally catastrophic destruction as a voice from heaven declares, “It is done!”Dr. Youssef explains that Revelation presents the ultimate collision between God's perfect justice and humanity's persistent rebellion. God has demonstrated extraordinary patience, but Scripture also teaches that judgment will not be postponed forever.Yet for believers, the message of Revelation is not one of fear but of confidence in Christ. At the cross, Jesus declared, “It is finished,” completing the work of redemption. In Revelation, the declaration “It is done” points toward the completion of God's judgment and the final defeat of Satan.No matter how chaotic world events may appear, God's purposes remain sovereign. Christ has paid the price for His people, evil will not prevail, and the victory of the King is certain.Prayer: Jesus, thank You that You have redeemed me and taken on the judgment I deserve. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.“Look, I come like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake and remains clothed, so as not to go naked and be shamefully exposed” (Revelation 16:15).Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

From founding member of Steely Dan and former guitarist with The Doobie Brothers, Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, comes the astonishing true story of one of the most fascinating lives in American music, tracing his extraordinary journey from legendary rock and roll guitarist to cleared access missile-defense consultant and counterterrorism expert. Jeff "Skunk" Baxter lives two lives. In one, he is a rock and roll legend, founding member of the Steely Dan and former core member of The Doobie Brothers, with fourteen Gold Records, eight Platinum albums, two Grammy Awards (plus six nominations), induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and a Lifetime Achievement Award. In the other, he is an advisor to the U.S. Department of War's Missile Defense Agency and, over the course of the past 30-plus years, a consultant to the Department of Homeland Security, NASA, prestigious research laboratories, and top defense contractors, including Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop-Grumman. Told in his own words for the first time, "the most interesting man in music" (NPR) chronicles the improbable twists and turns that carried Baxter from rock star to national security subject-matter expert. Blessed with natural talent, insatiable curiosity, and serendipity, Baxter recalls how a music-obsessed-kid growing up between Mexico City and New York City quickly became a first-call session musician, and then a founding member of the band that would become a cornerstone of his legacy: Steely Dan. He vividly captures the grit and magic of the rock music scene in Boston, New York, and Los Angeles in the '60s and '70s, and describes the soaring highs and rock-bottom lows of superstardom: his transition from Steely Dan to the Doobie Brothers, world tours, and recording with legends like Dolly Parton, Carly Simon, Elton John, Ringo Starr, and Joni Mitchell. Then, comes his surprising pivot to the defense industry, trading the recording booth for the cockpit of a recon plane. After all, if you can grasp the basic physics of converting a weak vibration from a guitar string into a distorted wail as loud as a jet engine, you can understand how a radar system works. All the while-whether playing arenas or playing war games at the Pentagon—Baxter reflects on the mystical intersections of music and technology, and the mentors, friends, and collaborators who helped him. His book - 'From Rock to Rockets' is to be released in January 2027. It features 16-pages of never-before seen photographs and fascinating insights into Baxter's favorite guitars and gear and is a testament to the power of curiosity and the extraordinary opportunities that come from embracing the unexpected.

I've struggled with self-reliance my whole life. Growing up, I learned early to count on myself. And the world cheers that on. It applauds hustle, control, and making things happen. What the world doesn't applaud is waiting on God. In this episode I share one of the hardest seasons of my walk with Jesus. I waited on God for years in an area then I hit this point where I grew impatient and took matters into my own hands. I went back to self reliance.  As a daughter of the King self reliance doesn't make sense when the one who created us and has great plans for us wants us relying completely on him.  And here's the thing. God was answering that prayer the whole time. I just couldn't see it yet. We'll look at Abraham and Sarah, who took matters into their own hands. We'll look at the Israelites, who turned an 11-day journey into 40 years. And we'll look at Job, who praised God even after losing everything. I close with four scriptures to speak over yourself when the enemy whispers, "Did God really say?" If you're growing weary in the waiting, this one is for you. Timestamps 00:00 Why self-reliance has been my lifelong struggle 00:27 The world applauds self-reliance, not waiting on God 00:54 Trusting God when the timeline doesn't match ours 01:21 Unanswered prayers in love, family, and finances 02:44 Abraham and Sarah take matters into their own hands 03:37 The enemy's lies go all the way back to the garden 04:07 My story: years of waiting on God in singleness 05:30 The season I went my own way, and what it cost me 06:27 It's not about the business or the relationship. It's about your heart. 07:24 God was answering that prayer all along 08:14 "Did God really say?" How the enemy chips away at our faith 09:39 Delight yourself in the Lord 10:34 Seek first the kingdom of God 11:33 Sometimes the wait is about the journey, not the answer 12:27 The Israelites: an 11-day journey that took 40 years 13:24 Job praised God through it all 14:41 My four years off track and the gap in this podcast 16:34 The take-home: don't go into self-reliance 17:59 Letting God's Word, not our feelings, tell us who He is 19:28 Perspective from our persecuted brothers and sisters 20:57 We were never meant to cling to this world 23:18 Four verses for staying in God reliance 23:38 Proverbs 3:5-6 26:10 Isaiah 40:31 and Philippians 4:13 26:37 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 27:34 He's enough, so we don't have to be 28:58 Fight back with scripture, just like Jesus did 29:55 Closing encouragement Key Takeaways God's timing won't match the world's timeline. If we're waiting on Him, our journey will look different, and that's okay. Doubt makes self-reliance look smart. When time passes, the enemy whispers that God isn't coming through, so we might as well do it ourselves. Taking matters into our own hands costs us. Abraham and Sarah made a mess. So did I. God still keeps His promises, but we miss out along the way. Our attitude in the waiting matters. The Israelites' complaining and unbelief kept a generation out of the promised land. Praise is always in our hands. Job lost everything and still worshiped. We can choose thankfulness no matter what. It was never about the answered prayer. Our relationship with God is the point. Everything else is a bonus. Keep this world in perspective. It's temporary, and where we're going is so much better. We don't have to be enough. He is enough, and that takes all the pressure off. Answer the enemy with scripture. Jesus did it three times in the wilderness, and we can too. Scriptures Referenced (NKJV) Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths." Isaiah 40:31 "But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint." Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 "And He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong." Psalm 37:4 "Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart." Matthew 6:33 "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." Philippians 4:6 "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;" Proverbs 22:7 "The rich rules over the poor, And the borrower is servant to the lender." Genesis 3:1 "Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, 'Has God indeed said, "You shall not eat of every tree of the garden"?'" Genesis 16:2 "So Sarai said to Abram, 'See now, the LORD has restrained me from bearing children. Please, go in to my maid; perhaps I shall obtain children by her.' And Abram heeded the voice of Sarai." Genesis 21:1-2 "And the LORD visited Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah as He had spoken. For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him." Deuteronomy 1:2 "It is eleven days' journey from Horeb by way of Mount Seir to Kadesh Barnea." Philippians 2:14 "Do all things without complaining and disputing," Job 1:21 "And he said: 'Naked I came from my mother's womb, And naked shall I return there. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; Blessed be the name of the LORD.'" Job 42:10 "And the LORD restored Job's losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before." Ephesians 3:20 "Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us," Romans 8:28 "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." 2 Corinthians 4:18 "while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal." Matthew 4:4 "But He answered and said, 'It is written, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God."'" Your Next Step Pick one of the four verses from this episode and write it somewhere you'll see it every day. The next time the enemy asks, "Did God really say?" answer him with it.

Today, again, we will spend time in worship. Simply focusing on God and His character. So, invite His Holy Spirit to pour over You with His presence. Listen intently as we experience His Word together.From Psalm 33 The MessageGood people, cheer God! Right-living people sound best when praising.Use guitars to reinforce your Hallelujahs! Play his praise on a grand piano!Invent your own new song to him; give him a trumpet fanfare.For God's Word is solid to the core; everything he makes is sound inside and out.He loves it when everything fits, when his world is in plumb-line true.Earth is drenched in God's affectionate satisfaction.… bow before God; … down on your knees!Here's why: he spoke and there it was, in place the moment he said so.God takes the wind out of Babel pretense, he shoots down the world's power-schemes.God's plan for the world stands up, all his designs are made to last.Blessed is the country with God for God; blessed are the people he's put in his will.He has shaped each person in turn; now he watches everything we do.No king succeeds with a big army alone, no warrior wins by brute strength.Horsepower is not the answer; no one gets by on muscle alone.Watch this: God's eye is on those who respect him, the ones who are looking for his love.He's ready to come to their rescue in bad times; in lean times he keeps body and soul together.We're depending on God; he's everything we need.What's more, our hearts brim with joy since we've taken for our own his holy name.Love us, God, with all you've got—that's what we're depending on.Can you add your personal thoughts of worship to these words from david?What about God are you in awe of?How has God rescued you?Will you praise and worship him for the personal way He has shown up recently?Let's personalize the last lines of Psalm 33:I'm depending on You, God; You are everything I need.What's more, my heart brims with joy since I've taken for my own Your holy name.Love me, God, with all you've got—that's what I'm depending on.Pray with me: “Heavenly Father, Thank You that I don't have to worship, but I get to worship. You are a Gentleman who never forces His way, yet loves in such a powerful way that invites a response of gratitude. Thank You for loving me with all You've got. As above, so below.” - Amen

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Pastor Dom teaches about living the transformed life. Romans 12:1-21 I beseech  you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.2 Corinthians 3:18 18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.2 Corinthians 5:1717 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.Romans 6:14 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you,…1 Peter 2:1-21 So get rid of all evil behavior. Be done with all deceit, hypocrisy, jealousy, and all unkind speech. 2 Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment, 1 Peter 2:3 3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.Psalm 1:22 But they delight in the law of the Lord,  meditating on it day and night.James 5:16 16 …The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.James 5:1616 …The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.Ephesians 6:1212 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.Luke 10:1919 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.Luke 10:1717 …saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.”1 John 5:1414 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.Philippians 2:9-109 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,…Acts 3:66 Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.”Galatians 2:2020 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that the Holy Spirit doesn't just live inside us, He wants to come upon us and empower us day by day. When we ask the Lord to refresh us, He gives us exactly what we need for the moment.

In this episode of Beloved & Blessed's women's Bible study, Kimberly Hahn unpacks the Third Sorrowful Mystery—Jesus's Crowning with Thorns. Taking up the story immediately after Jesus's scourging, Kimberly walks us through His crowning with thorns, Pilate's remark “Ecce Homo,” and the Jewish leaders' demand for crucifixion. In this episode you'll discover what happened to Judas, the religious leaders' true attitude toward Jesus, and why the crown of thorns hearkens back to Genesis Rich with Old Testament background, this episode will deepen your meditations on the Third Sorrowful Mystery and help you discover why “bearing wrongs patiently” is this mystery's fruit.

What if real dominion doesn't look like fighting back? What if it looks like meekness? We live in a world that constantly teaches men to defend themselves, protect their image, prove their strength, and make sure nobody gets the upper hand. But what happens when Christ calls you to respond differently? There is a kind of strength that does not come from controlling the situation. It comes from trusting God enough to surrender your need to control it. And that same principle exposes what is really ruling your life. Your finances can reveal what you believe is your source. Your constant “what if?” can reveal where fear has taken control. Your relationships can reveal whether the people around you are actually aligned with the path God has called you to walk. And your willingness to sacrifice can reveal whether you are truly surrendered or simply following God as long as the cost remains comfortable. There is a war between two realities. One is driven by fear, control, self-preservation, and the need to know exactly what happens next. The other requires faith. Sometimes walking with Christ means continuing forward without having every answer. Sometimes it means refusing to defend yourself. Sometimes it means letting go of something you thought you couldn't live without. And sometimes it means recognizing that not everyone who started the journey with you is meant to go with you into the next season. So here's the question: Are you actually walking in faith, or are you still trying to control the outcome? And what does your life reveal about what you truly believe is your source? Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. To see more, be sure to subscribe to the podcast at

"He said to them, 'But who do you say that I am?' Simon Peter replied, 'You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.' And Jesus answered him, 'Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.'" Matthew 16:15–17

What if mourning isn't really about loss, and comfort isn't about feeling better? In Week 3 of our Sermon on the Mount series, Pastor Alex Gowler unpacks Matthew 5:4, "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted," and shows how our culture uses distance, distraction, and dopamine to avoid pain. Drawing on the Greek word parakaleo, he reveals that God's comfort is not a soft blanket but His strengthening presence standing beside us. Key Takeaways:- Biblical mourning is less about what we've lost and more about what we've learned: letting our hearts break over the brokenness in ourselves and the world.- Distance, distraction, and dopamine are the three ways our culture trains us to avoid lament.- God's comfort (parakaleo) means being called to His side and strengthened by His presence, not pampered out of our pain.- God is close to the brokenhearted, so when we avoid places of pain, we can miss His presence.- Reflect this week: What pain have you been avoiding that God is inviting you to feel, and where can you pursue His presence instead of the world's comfort?

Send us Fan MailToday we continue our series on the Sermon on the Mount with Pastor Mark exploring Jesus as the fulfilment of the law and then taking everything that has come before to talk about Jesus teaching on the law. It all comes back to thankfulness for what Jesus has done for us.Support the showPastors Eric, Mark, Susan, Daniel, and other Village leaders open the Scriptures as the witness to God's kingdom breaking into our lives. Scripture gives us more than abstract ideas. It is the Word of God, given to form us, confront us, comfort us, and teach us how to follow Jesus.Each episode invites us to listen and respond. We are learning to understand the Bible more faithfully; we are also learning how to live as God's renewed people.Week by week, our pastors and leaders talk about the practices of Christian discipleship, including prayer, fasting, generosity, Scripture memory, worship, and life together. These practices belong to a whole life formed around Jesus.The podcast also speaks to ordinary places where faith is lived; our relationships, finances, habits, struggles, joys, and decisions. The gospel speaks to what we believe. It also teaches us how to live in the present age as people who belong to the kingdom of God.The Village Churchvillagersonline@gmail.comMore information at www.villagersonline.com

1 The wicked flee when no one pursues; but the righteous are as bold as a lion. 2 In rebellion, a land has many rulers, but order is maintained by a man of understanding and knowledge. 3 A needy man who oppresses the poor is like a driving rain which leaves no crops. 4 Those who forsake the law praise the wicked; but those who keep the law contend with them. 5 Evil men don't understand justice; but those who seek Yahweh understand it fully. 6 Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than he who is perverse in his ways, and he is rich. 7 Whoever keeps the law is a wise son; but he who is a companion of gluttons shames his father. 8 He who increases his wealth by excessive interest gathers it for one who has pity on the poor. 9 He who turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination. 10 Whoever causes the upright to go astray in an evil way, he will fall into his own trap; but the blameless will inherit good. 11 The rich man is wise in his own eyes; but the poor who has understanding sees through him. 12 When the righteous triumph, there is great glory; but when the wicked rise, men hide themselves. 13 He who conceals his sins doesn't prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy. 14 Blessed is the man who always fears; but one who hardens his heart falls into trouble. 15 As a roaring lion or a charging bear, so is a wicked ruler over helpless people. 16 A tyrannical ruler lacks judgment. One who hates ill-gotten gain will have long days. 17 A man who is tormented by blood guilt will be a fugitive until death. No one will support him. 18 Whoever walks blamelessly is kept safe; but one with perverse ways will fall suddenly. 19 One who works his land will have an abundance of food; but one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty. 20 A faithful man is rich with blessings; but one who is eager to be rich will not go unpunished. 21 To show partiality is not good, yet a man will do wrong for a piece of bread. 22 A stingy man hurries after riches, and doesn't know that poverty waits for him. 23 One who rebukes a man will afterward find more favor than one who flatters with the tongue. 24 Whoever robs his father or his mother and says, “It's not wrong,” is a partner with a destroyer. 25 One who is greedy stirs up strife; but one who trusts in Yahweh will prosper. 26 One who trusts in himself is a fool; but one who walks in wisdom is kept safe. 27 One who gives to the poor has no lack; but one who closes his eyes will have many curses. 28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves; but when they perish, the righteous thrive.

This Sunday, we continue with Bible Book It: 1 and 2 Samuel. Sometimes peace starts with simply being willing to step in. Abigail had no title or position of power, but she dared to speak up, build a bridge, and bring peace to a situation that was headed toward conflict. You don't need a title to have influence. Where is God calling you to be a peacemaker this week? “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” — Matthew 5:9

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that God has blessed us, meaning it's already done. So, if we're just getting by, it's not because Heaven ran short. It's because we haven't tapped into all that is already ours in Christ Jesus.

Luke's friend was scared out of her mind by a horrifying phone scam, which reminds Andrew of a recent hoax involving Bruce Valanch and an A.I. version of Terry Gross. They also discuss the ins-and-outs of the Seahawks head coach saying stuff on mic that he thought was private and why Tommy Tuberville is afraid of furries flying his airplane.  Photo credit: John Mathew Smith 2001 (Creative Commons)

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that God has already blessed us with every spiritual blessing in Christ. So, why should we worry when everything we need has already been provided by the Lord who loves us, and gave His life for our salvation.
