The sermon by Pastor Paul E Chapman addresses the inevitability of death and offers a path to overcoming its sting through faith in Jesus Christ. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 15, the message emphasizes that while death is a reality, it is ultimately defeated by Christ's resurrection, offering believers hope and assurance of eternal life. Pastor Chapman encourages listeners to confront death head-on, acknowledging its presence in a world marked by tragedy, and to seek solace and redemption through a personal relationship with Christ, thereby experiencing the victory over sin and the promise of a future beyond the grave. This sermon was preached during a weekly service at Curtis Corner Baptist Church in Wakefield, Rhode Island. Curtis Corner Baptist Church is a vibrant, independent, fundamental Baptist Church located on the southern coast of Rhode Island. Through clear preaching from the King James Bible, consistent personal soul-winning, and a bold stand on holy living, CCBC continues the mission today that began when it was founded in August of 1842. www.CurtisCornerBaptist.com

This sermon by Pastor Paul E Chapman addresses common objections to Christianity, emphasizing the importance of thorough biblical understanding to fortify faith and effectively engage with questions about faith. It clarifies that Christianity is unique, offering salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, not through human effort or belonging to a particular religion, and underscores the authority of Scripture as the ultimate source of truth, contrasting it with the misleading claims of ancient civilizations and the misinterpretations found in Gnostic Gospels. Ultimately, the message encourages listeners to approach the Bible with humility, seeking to understand God's word and defend it against distortions, recognizing that true faith rests on the unchanging truth revealed in Scripture. Learn how to answer questions about Cavemen, Sumerians, Gnostic Gospels, Apocrypha and lead people to Christ.

The sermon preached by Pastor Paul E Chapman explores the relationship between dinosaurs and the Bible, challenging the notion that dinosaurs disprove scripture and instead presenting them as evidence of God's creation and judgment. It emphasizes that dinosaurs coexisted with humans, referencing biblical passages like Job to support this claim, and refutes evolutionary timelines by highlighting the possibility of a global flood as a more plausible explanation for fossilization and geological formations. Ultimately, the message encourages listeners to trust in God's word, recognizing that scientific discoveries often align with, rather than contradict, biblical truths, and to share this faith with others.

This sermon on the family, called "Benefits Of A Christ-Centered Home" by Pastor Paul E Chapman, emphasizes that a truly flourishing home is built upon a foundation of faith, not material wealth or outward appearances. Drawing from Psalm 127, it highlights that without God's presence, even the most lavish structures are ultimately empty, and underscores the importance of unity, forgiveness, and security within the family. Through the illustrative story of the Johnson family, the message conveys that a Christ-centered home is characterized by God's presence, loving relationships, and a sense of refuge, ultimately leading to joy and a deeper connection with one another and with God, regardless of circumstances.

With today's twenty-four hour news cycle, coupled with the rise of social media, we often feel as though we are constantly being bombarded with headlines, most of them negative. It can be hard to keep any kind of positive attitude at all as we are perpetually reminded of all the things that are wrong in the world. Before long, we find ourselves feeling stuck and hopeless. Vet tech and behavior specialist Tabitha Kucera knows those feelings of depression and hopelessness, but she also knows the immense power of having a PMA--positive mental attitude--especially when things are hard. That doesn't mean falling into toxic positivity, but instead finding the good where it is, recognizing what is in your power to do, and learning to be kind to yourself. Tune in as we discuss the value of finding and providing mentorship, learning to understand yourself, and the importance of knowing your own worth.

Join the Amys and their cat-tastic guest, Tabitha Kucera, RVT, KPA-CPT, CCBC, VTS (behavior), and owner of Chirrups and Chatter Behavior Consulting and Training in Cleveland, Ohio, as they pounce, feet first (am I righting?), into the dynamics of cat behavior and intercat aggression.  Misconceptions, myths, and generalizations about cat behavior have resulted in misleading and harmful labels that leave kitties in the dark when it comes to standards for behavioral wellness, quality of life, and cooperative care. And, when the dynamics of a multicat environment echo a blockbuster battle - a fight to the death until there is only one survivor - cat guardians are led astray and left to contemplate solutions that aren't typically supported by modern science.The time is meow to set the record straight and get down to the WTF? (it doesn't mean what you think it means) of cat behavior and aggression. Are cats actually aloof creatures that merely tolerate our presence, and manipulate our minds? Or, has society contributed to our perception of cats and their behavior? Does the language we use to describe cat behavior in professional settings impact perceptions, expectations, and outcomes of treatment? How does pain, choice, motivation, and enrichment factor into behavioral wellness? Grab a glass of catbernet, and get up to speed on the latest buzzzzzz during episode 7 of the Behavior Buzzzzzz with 2 Amys veterinary behavior podcast.

It's time for another visit with Midday theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck, who joins us each week with her reviews of the mid-Atlantic regional stage. Today, she tells us about the new production of The Prom, a rollicking musical homage to musical comedies, now on stage at the Cockpit in Court Summer Theater at the Essex campus of the Community College of Baltimore County. A 2018 Broadway hit with book and lyrics by Chad Beguelin, book by Bob Martin and music by Matthew Sklar, The Prom is directed at Cockpit in Court by Roger Schulman. The Prom follows four eccentric Broadway stars who are in desperate need of a new stage. When they hear that trouble is brewing around a small-town prom, they know that it's time to put a spotlight on the issue…and themselves. The musical won the Drama Desk Award for Best Musical, and was adapted for a 2020 film starring Meryl Streep, James Corden and Nicole Kidman. The Prom continues at the Cockpit in Court Summer Theatre through Sunday, August 6.Email us at midday@wypr.org, tweet us: @MiddayWYPR, or call us at 410-662-8780.
