Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to another episode of the Daily Radio Bible, where we journey together through the Scriptures, one day at a time. On this ninth day of January, Hunter invites us into a time of reflection and prayer as we read selections from Genesis 23-24 and Luke 9. In today's episode, we witness Abraham's faith and God's providence in the search for Isaac's wife, uncovering the beauty of trust and obedience. Then, as we move into Luke, we see Jesus empowering his disciples, feeding the multitudes, and revealing the transformative message of the Kingdom of God. Hunter reminds us that the heart of Jesus' teaching—through miracles, parables, and sacrifice—is the invitation to become citizens of this Kingdom, marked by reconciliation, joy, and abiding love. Join us as we open our hearts to receive these words, pray together for ourselves, our families, and the world, and step forward in the joyful assurance that we are deeply loved. Settle in and let this time feed your soul and guide your steps as we continue this daily walk in God's presence. TODAY'S DEVOTION: He makes us citizens of his kingdom. What do you think the prevailing message of Jesus is? You would think that'd be a pretty easy question to answer. But I'm guessing that in a room full of people, there'd be many different kinds of answers to that question. But in Luke 9, as well as throughout the Gospels and in the Book of Acts, we're told many times very plainly what that message is. The central prevailing message of the Bible and of Jesus is the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God is here and the king is Jesus. And this king has come to reconcile the world to God. His rule and authority are being made known wherever he goes. He uses that in the feeding of the multitudes, the healing of the demon possessed, the opening up of the eyes of the blind, the healing of the lame, those who can't speak and hear. He is the king. And wherever he goes, the kingdom is showing up. Citizenship in this kingdom is being made available to ordinary people. His life is being offered and extended to the whole world, to us broken folks. And the good news of that kingdom is that God has made a way through Christ to reconcile us, to make us new, to make us citizens and bring us under his rule and reign, to make us his. By his death on the cross, he has reconciled us to himself. And now by the Spirit of God, he has empowered us to manifest his kingdom life, to live it out, the very life of his Son. As Jesus walks with us through our life, the kingdom shows up. The result of his kingdom life in us is freedom, joy, love, the fruit of the Spirit. And when we do that, we are set free. We're set free from our past, our regrets, our shame. And we live in the joy of forgiveness and our adoption and inclusion in the very life and love of God. The one sitting on the throne said, look, I'm making everything new, everything. And we see it wherever Jesus goes. There is power in the King. There's power in his abiding life with us. And this king has made you his own. You are a citizen and he is your king. Let us live as citizens of the kingdom of God. Let us embrace this message of the abiding and saving life, the reconciling life of Christ. Let us be ambassadors of this message of our great King. Let's tell people that they have been reconciled in Christ. See it, believe it, repent, change your mind and step into the life that is yours. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my own family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.

As we begin to study the final chapters of the Book of Acts, we see the Apostle Paul--after enjoying years of freedom in spreading the gospel—being taken into Roman custody. While Paul's imprisonment was hardly a good situation from a human point of view, it was to be greatly used in bringing the gospel to that empire.

Jesus didn't save His followers to sit still or stay silent—He sent them. In this episode of The Pursuit, James Griffin, Carlos Fernandez, and Matt Moody walk through the opening of the book of Acts to challenge the idea that faith is meant to stay private and explore what it truly means to live as a “sent one” in everyday life. They unpack why so many believers feel stuck, exhausted, or hesitant to speak about their faith, how relying on our own strength leads to burnout instead of boldness, and why the Holy Spirit is essential for living on mission. If you've ever wondered whether you're advancing God's mission or quietly retreating, this conversation will challenge you to rethink how your faith shows up in the world.Subscribe for more messages and conversations that will help you know and follow Jesus.SHOW NOTESThese notes are packed with key insights and scripture to help you know and follow Jesus – https://mycpcc.com/notes162To submit a question, send us a DM on Instagram or Facebook.Crosspoint City Church exists to relentlessly pursue those far from God to help them know and follow Jesus.

Then, Watermark's Resident Theologian, Garrett Wikle, joins to explain the doctrine of the ascension, how it shapes our understanding of the rest of Scripture, and why it's significant forfollowers of Jesus today.

To start off a new year, we are launching a journey through the book of Acts, where we see how the risen Christ continues His work through a Spirit-empowered church. We explore how the Great Commission requires supernatural empowerment—fulfilled at Pentecost when the Holy Spirit ignited ordinary believers with boldness, power, and purpose. From the Upper Room to the ends of the earth, this message reminds us that the same Spirit who birthed the early church still empowers us today to live, speak, and stand as witnesses for Jesus.

Daily Dose of Hope January 5, 2026 Scripture: Galatians 1 Prayer: Heavenly Father, We come before you at the beginning of a new year, a new week, and even a new reading plan, and we thank you for all you've done for us. You are such a good God. You are a God who provides, protects, cares, loves, saves, sustains, guides, and directs our paths. As we head into all these "new" things, Lord, we pray that you will lead us also into a new sense of understanding about who you are. Help us grow, learn, and be open to thinking about our walk with you in new ways. Challenge us, Lord. Stretch us. Get us out of our comfort zone. All for your glory. We want to be stronger disciples. We want to know you better and be bold in our witness. It's in your name we pray, Amen. Welcome to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading. Today, we are starting our new reading plan, a journey through the letters of Paul. We will walk through all thirteen of Paul's letters, going in chronological order. My prayer is that this new reading plan will be a blessing to you and you will learn and grow in your walk with Jesus. According to the book of Acts, Paul went on three missionary journeys. (Some scholars think he may have taken a fourth to Spain but we don't have a lot of evidence for that.) What we do know from Scripture is that during those three extensive journeys, Paul established churches in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey), in Macedonia, and Greece. We also know from the end of Acts that Paul went to Rome to stand before Caesar, and there was a church already established there when he arrived. Apparently, believers from other other places had already established a Christian community. But all of these churches were young and had their struggles. Paul sent pastoral letters to many of the churches in response to specific needs or concerns. He often gave encouragement but he also gave strong criticism and warning as needed. Some of Paul's letters helped these congregations work through doctrinal issues, while others address more practical concerns. These letters were hand-delivered to the churches and read aloud to the congregation. So, as we read these, keep in mind they were intended to be read to a group of believers. Sometimes individuals are mentioned but the group as a whole is the audience. The letter would then be passed along to other churches in the region. The first letter Paul wrote was to the churches in Galatia, what we call the book of Galatians. The region of Galatia was in central Asia Minor and included several cities to which Paul evangelized during his first missionary journey, including Pisidian Antioch, Iconium, Lystra and Derbe. Most scholars believer that Paul penned this letter around AD 48 or 49. What was going on with the Galatians? Why was the letter necessary? Since Paul had established the various congregations in Galatia, the churches had been plagued by false teachers. These false teachers were Jewish Christians who fiercely rejected the Gospel that Paul preached, that people are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. Rather, these Jewish Christians were saying that to be saved, people must also be circumcised and follow the whole law of Moses. Besides rejecting the Gospel, they also attacked Paul's credibility. Throughout the letter, we will see Paul continually going back to these two themes-his credibility and apostleship AND the gift of grace offered by the Good News of Jesus. In this first chapter, Paul is clear that anything less than the true Gospel is not the Gospel at all. Those who teach that something other than faith is needed for salvation are twisting the Good News and Paul expresses shock that the Galatians would be so quick to believe this false teaching. He tells them that the Gospel he teaches is not from humans but from the risen Lord himself. He provides support to this by sharing his own conversion story from strict Judaism to belief in Jesus Christ and what God had affirmed to him through this miracle. Salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone is the core teaching of our faith. Are there times in which we try to twist this doctrine? Do we add or subtract from it? How often have we been around "good churchgoing people" who think that salvation comes from simply being a good person? Or, people think that in order to receive salvation, they need Jesus and good works? It can be subtle. We have to really dig deep here. What do you believe about salvation? Do you, deep down, believe that you are saved by Jesus Christ ALONE – by his saving work on the cross and nothing else? Or, have you tried to add or subtract from this? Take some time today and really pray on this. It's crucial, my friends. Blessings, Pastor Vicki

For thousands of years Christians have gathered around the world once a week to remember and celebrate Jesus together. However, is what we call “church” what it was intended to be?This movement that we have been swept up in began with a handful of people who were not terribly sure of what they were doing. In fact, they were mostly unsure and confused in their nature.But by the grace of God, the Holy Spirit empowered them to establish and lead a revolutionary vision creating witnesses of the love and grace of Jesus that has continued even to this day. We are here today because of the ACTS OF THE APOSTLES through the Holy Spirit just weeks after Jesus was crucified and resurrected.This study of the book of Acts should bring us back to purpose of the church and the power of the Holy Spirit.---In Acts 1:1-11, the stage is set for the rest of the book and the plan is established for the work of the Holy Spirit through the apostles. But what is interesting is that the only command given by Jesus is to "wait". With the promise of power coming in the future, the way to get there was through patient, persevering waiting. And the same is true for us today.
January 4, 2026 Are you prepared? Many adventures in life require preparation. In the same way, God cares about getting us prepared for how He invites us into His plan. Listen in as Pastor Brooks Fuller helps prepare us not only to embrace the new year, but to live fully engaged in God's plan! About this Sermon Series The book of Acts tells the story of how the exalted Christ sends His Spirit to empower His people to continue His work in the world. Through the Spirit's power, ordinary believers boldly proclaim the gospel, witness miraculous works, and form vibrant communities that embody God's welcome to all people. Acts traces how the church's witness, energized by the Spirit, extends from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth, revealing Christ's ongoing work through His people and the Spirit's leading in every new challenge and opportunity.

Long before believers were called “Christians,” they were known as People of the Way—followers of Jesus whose lives reflected His movement in the world. This series walks through the book of Acts, exploring how the early church lived, served, and shared the gospel in a changing world. As we study their story, we're challenged to rediscover what it means to be the church today—faithful, united, and always on the move.
Various Passages in Acts | The old adage goes, "The family that prays together, stays together." It's true for church families as well: The church that prays together, stays together. There is unity, fellowship, joy, and missional oneness that comes as we devote ourselves to prayer together. We will take a walk through the book of Acts to look at the times the church gathered for prayer together and the circumstances that drove them to corporate prayer. This must deepen our own convictions for the priority of corporate prayer.
DID YA’ KNOW? #4 WATCH VIDEO HERE (MORE MESSAGES (BOTH AUDIO ONLY AND VIDEO) LIKE THIS (such as Did Ya’ Know# 2 and 3) at https://www.HisWordHeals.com/blog ) [Rev 14:11 NKJV] 11 “And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who WORSHIP the beast and his image, and whoever receives the MARK of his name.” The Mark of the Beast! There are tons of theories out there as to what this will look like… everything from just Sunday worship to a physical microchip stuck to your forehead. Today we will take a closer look at exactly what scripture says this could look like. Is it an actual physical mark in or on your flesh or spiritual mark such as YHWH via the angel with the ink horn puts on the foreheads of those who sigh and cry over the abominations being done in Jerusalem in Ezekiel 9? So lets start this deep dive into what scripture actually says about the ‘mark' by looking at the Greek word that is translated as ‘MARK' NINE TIMES total in the New Testament, EIGHT of those being in Revelation all referencing the MARK of the beast with the NINTH time, the ONLY time, this word appears in the New Testament OUTSIDE of the book of Revelation. I think the fact that this word is only found ONE TIME OUTSIDE the of the book of Revelation VERY IMPORTANT to the understanding of what this actual MARK might actually entail and/or consist of. We will look at the 8 times in Revelation first and then the very interesting 9th time in the book of… lol I'm not going to tell you where yet. You'll have to stay tuned!

Matthew 26:69-75 shows us Peter's denial of His Lord. Satan had demanded permission to sift Peter like wheat. Remember that Jesus had prayed for Peter that his faith would not fail, Lk.22:31-32. Peter may have failed, but his faith did not.Dr. Mitchell gives us a short overview on the 6 Scriptural evidences of Peter's downward trajectory before his denial.He then also points out how the Lord Jesus still loved Peter and sought him out personally after His resurrection. 1Cor.15:4 records Christ first appeared to Cephas, to Peter.The apostle Peter, in the book of Acts, is now one filled with the Holy Spirit, proclaimng Christ, crucified and raised again whom God exalted to His own right hand. In this exaltation, God made this Jesus, both Lord and Christ.Here on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast is Dr. Mitchell, Matthew 26:69.
“The book of Acts—starring the apostle Paul!” ... If Paul were here today, he'd never let us get away with saying that. The real star of Acts is the Holy Spirit, and he does his work through every believer. Keep listening as Dr. James Boice introduces us to a few of the ordinary believers God used to turn the first-century world upside-down.

Daily Dose of Hope December 31, 2025 Scripture – Acts 28 Prayer: For our last prayer of this reading plan, let's end with a prayer of peace from St. Francis of Assisi... Lord, make me an instrument of your peace: where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen. Welcome to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading. We have been on an incredible journey of reading through the Gospels and Acts. Today, we are walking through the last chapter of Acts, Acts 28. After a few months on the island of Malta, during which Paul was bitten by a viper (with no bad repercussions) and healed many people, they finally are able to secure a new ship and continue the journey to Rome. When they arrive, Paul is met by a group of believers. I love this. I picture a group waiting by the dock for the ship to come in, anxious to take care of Paul with warm hugs and casseroles! But Paul doesn't waste much time, after just three days he begins to preach, teach, and discuss his views with the Jewish leaders in Rome. It appears they are more open to Paul's teachings than the Jews in other locations. For two years, Paul stays in Rome, in his own rented house, and welcomed all who came to see him. He taught about God's Kingdom and preached Jesus with boldness and without any obstacles. It's possible he resumed his tent-making in order to support himself but his main focus was conversion. Paul's intention was always to go to Rome. But just like in our own lives, stuff happened. Riots, jail time, and shipwrecks, all thwarted the best of intentions. Eventually, Paul did end up in Rome and had two years there to share the Gospel. Our life journeys, though probably not as eventful as Paul's, never go in a straight line. There are ups and downs, steps backward, pauses, and spins. But God can and will use each of those experiences to grow us and to help us speak into the lives of others. It's always about the journey, not the destination. But what happened to Paul after this? We have some evidence based on his other letters. Certain letters, which Paul wrote while imprisoned in Rome, are especially helpful. These include Ephesians, Colossians, Philemon, and Philippians, written between AD 60-62. Titus, as well as 1 and 2 Timothy, were written after Acts and during Paul's travels, AD 66 and 68. We can estimate that Paul lived for about 5-6 more years after the book of Acts ends. We can also estimate that Paul stood before Caesar (Emperor Nero) around AD 62. Tradition tells us that he was eventually released from his imprisonment in Rome. There is some consensus that Paul may have actually gone to Spain after his release, carrying the Gospel even further. But he did eventually end up back in Rome and tradition says that Paul was actually beheaded there in AD 68. Paul is considered the most effective Christian missionary who has ever lived. He took the Gospel to places far and wide, at least as far as the known world at the time. And he did so at great risk to himself. He wasn't afraid of physical pain or discomfort. He didn't care if everything was removed from him. He had surrendered his life, fully and completely, to Jesus and sharing his message with the world. As a result, he started many churches and the Gospel spread. Today is the last Daily Dose of Hope for 2025. I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback. What did you learn? How has God stretched you? I do hope you will join us on our Journey through the Letters of Paul, which we will start on January 5th. It's been an honor sharing this with you. Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Daily Dose of Hope December 30, 2025 Scripture – Acts 27 Prayer: Holy God, We come before you today rejoicing in your powerful name. Thank you for who you are and all you do. Thank you for loving us. Help us gather our scattered thoughts, help us set aside distractions, and truly focus on you right now. In these next few moments of silence, Lord, we want to hear your voice...In Your Name, Amen. Welcome to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading. We have been on an incredible journey of reading through the Gospels and Acts. Today, we are walking through Acts 27. Paul's journey continues. This time, he is on his way to Rome. They hit very severe weather, which threatens to kill all those on board. It must have been quite dire, as they throw their cargo overboard to lighten up the ship. It sounds like weeks and weeks of hunger and misery. They finally see land. By this point, there isn't much left of the ship. The soldiers want to kill the prisoners but the centurion stops them, as he wanted to ensure that Paul was spared. It seems that the situation was a bit of a free for all; those who could swim, swam to shore. Others grabbed pieces of floating debris and yet all managed to get to shore safely. This is such an interesting passage to me. The Scripture says there were 276 men on board that ship. They must have all been praying in whatever way they were accustomed to do so. I can't help but think that Paul was praying boldly and witnessing to all the men on board. In such a situation, it seems highly likely people would be very open to hearing about the eternal life offered through faith in Jesus. I wonder if that is why the centurion was so intent on saving Paul's life. Had he become a follower of Jesus? Throughout the book of Acts, we see people boldly witnessing for Jesus. First, Peter and John and then Paul. Their focus on Jesus is so central to all they do that nothing else matters. What about you? While we live in a different time and place, we still have lots of people around us who need to hear about Jesus. How bold are you? Is Jesus central to everything you do? Blessings, Pastor Vicki
In this week's episode, Evangelist Chance Walters tells the story of Stephen in Acts Chapter 6,7 & 8 and how this story marks a pivotal point in the book of Acts showing us that God uses ordinary people to do extra-ordinary things in the world. Please share with a friend!

Daily Dose of Hope December 26, 2025 Scripture – Acts 25 Prayer: Heavenly Father, you are almighty and all-powerful. You are God of all and yet you care for us. Thank you, Lord. Help us settle our scattered thoughts and be silent before you...Thank you, Jesus. Please guide us as we reflect on your Word today. Meet us in the midst of our reading and this devotional. In Your Name, Amen. Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan. I hope you had a great Christmas day yesterday! We have been on a wonderful journey of reading and reflecting on Scripture over the last eight months, specifically the four Gospels and the book of Acts. After today, we only have three more days in Acts. We will take a brief break and then we will begin again on January 5, 2026, to walk through the letters of Paul in chronological order. I hope you will join us for that as well. Today, we are working through Acts 25. Paul's on-going custody and trial continues in this chapter. Felix was recalled to Rome to handle some other events. The man who followed him died after just two years and now we find ourselves introduced to the new governor, Festus. So this means that Paul has been in custody for over two years! Festus quickly demonstrates that, while he will listen to the Jewish leaders' accusations against Paul, he will not be bullied by them. He appears to want to give Paul a fair hearing once again. Now, the Jews were accusing Paul of both religious and civil offenses. Even if he were not innocent, this raises red flags among the Roman authorities. So Paul uses last card, an appeal to Caesar himself, which was his right to do as a Roman citizen. This also means the Gospel message will now move further up the government ladder. God is at work here. Think of all the people along this journey that are being exposed to the Gospel message – people at every level of government and society. I do want to point out Paul's faith here. He is unwavering. He knows what going back to Jerusalem would mean and he stands firmly against it. While we don't have specific Scripture to demonstrate this, we can assume that Paul feels God leading him to go to Caesar. Paul didn't do anything without the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We can safely assume that he is praying, listening, and obeying. AND trusting! What do you learn from Paul's example here? If you were being accused of an injustice, how would you handle the situation? Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Daily Dose of Hope December 25, 2025 Scripture – Acts 24 Prayer: A Christmas prayer by Robert Louis Stevenson, Loving Father, help us to remember the birth of Jesus, that we may share in the song of the angels, the gladness of the shepherds, and the worship of the wise men. Close the door of hate and open the door of love all over the world. Let kindness come with every gift and good desires with every greeting. Deliver us from the evil by the blessing which Christ brings and teach us to be merry with clear hearts. May the Christmas morning make us happy to by Thy children, and the Christmas evening bring us to our beds with grateful thoughts, forgiving and forgiven, for Jesus' sake. Amen. Merry Christmas! Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading. We have been on a journey, reading through the Gospels and the book of Acts. Today, we walk through Acts 24. The case against Paul was presented by an attorney named Tertullus before the governor Felix. When he finished accusing Paul of stirring up trouble and desecrating the temple, Paul boldly defends himself. Up until this point, Paul has been found guilty of nothing. It's seems obvious that Felix can find no fault as well, but he is hesitant to release Paul. He goes and visits him with his wife to learn more. When Paul begins to speak of righteousness (some translations say justice), self-control, and the judgement to come, Felix becomes afraid and stops the conversation. That's because these were things with which Felix struggled. He was known for his human rights abuses and injustices, he was known for his lust and lack of self-control, and he had every right to be afraid of the judgment to come. Sometimes, people are curious about the Gospel and may even feel convicted, but when it comes down to it, they aren't willing to turn to Jesus. We have no evidence that Felix ever became a believer in Jesus but I like to think that his meetings with Paul were acts of prevenient grace, God at work in the life of Felix before he ever knew it. I try to remind myself of that when I speak to people about faith. They may not make a commitment to Christ right now, but seeds have been planted. God will keep seeking them, wooing them toward him. God's not done with anyone yet. Merry Christmas to all of you. Pastor Vicki
We've made it to the final week of our Bible study through The Wild Invitation, and wow — what a ride through the book of Acts! This week, we're reflecting on how the early church's boldness and reliance on the Holy Spirit weren't just for then — they're for us today, too. We talk about living as modern-day witnesses of Jesus, navigating seasons of quiet obedience, and how to follow the Spirit's lead in our everyday lives (even if that means striking up a convo at a pizza shop). We also open up about feeling inspired and overwhelmed — how sometimes the mission feels big when we're weary or in a harder season. But Acts reminds us: God uses the ordinary. The story's not over. We're invited in. It's not just their story — it's ours too. Let's say yes to this wild, bold, Spirit-led life.
