In the beginning, humanity walked with God in a garden. Then the gate closed.From Genesis to Revelation, the story of Scripture is the story of a God who refuses to stay distant. Through tabernacle, temple, sacrifice, blood, glory, and promise — God was making a way to dwell with His people again.In this Lent 2026 series, How God Made a Way, we trace the thread from exile to access, from shadows to substance, from separation to presence. Every altar, every lampstand, every veil points forward to Jesus.Each week we'll see how what once stood between us and God is fulfilled in Christ — and how the risen Son now makes us His dwelling place.This isn't a series about temple facts.It's about the God who moved heaven and earth to bring us home.“In the past, God spoke through many things… but these days — through His Son.”Join us as we rediscover the story of atonement, glory, and grace.For more information or to get connected, visit us at www.rcnb.org
Let's take a closer look at the cross. This week on The Bible Study Hour with Dr. James Boice, we'll continue with part 2 of our study on the “psalm of the cross.” The second half of psalm 22 shifts from a mood of despair and separation, to a glorious focus on deliverance, righteousness and eternal salvation from sin.

The “Good Shepherd,” gives His life for the sheep. This week on The Bible Study Hour, we'll continue our study of the Psalms with Psalm 22, also known as the “psalm of the cross.” This psalm of David gives us a prophetic picture of Christ's suffering, as well as a window into the mind of Christ as He hung on the cross.

Harry Lidsky, Digital Forensic Examiner, testified today in the Brendan Banfield murder trial. Banfield, a former IRS agent, is charged with four counts of aggravated murder in the February 2023 deaths of his wife Christine Banfield and Joseph Ryan at their Herndon, Virginia home.Prosecutors allege Banfield plotted the killings with the family's Brazilian au pair, Juliana Peres Magalhães, with whom he was having an affair. Magalhães has pleaded guilty to manslaughter and is expected to testify against Banfield. The defense maintains digital evidence does not support the state's catfishing theory.#BrendanBanfield #AuPairAffair #MurderTrial #TrueCrime #Testimony #ChristineBanfield #JosephRyan #FairfaxCounty #HiddenKillers #BreakingJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Pastor will be preaching in the book of 2 Timothy.
Part 1 of 2. Before we look at the theological impact of the cross, let's look at the historical and chronological events of the cross. What really happened to Jesus at Golgotha, the Place of the Skull?
Pastor Rob CowlesSupport the show
“Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Praise Him, all creatures here below. Praise Him above, ye heavenly host. Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.” Does that sound familiar to you? Many believers recognize that as the Doxology. In today's message, Pastor Terry teaches just how worthy Jesus is to get that praise. He's worthy to be praised by every living creature here on earth, and by every angel in heaven above. He's worthy of this praise because He chose to sacrifice His life for yours.
By Tommy Mayfield
Many people are familiar with the wonderful story of Joseph in the book of Genesis, and how he tells his brothers that what they meant for evil, God meant for good. How true is that? We often face situations that seem extremely hard and difficult, but God always works them for good. In today's message, Pastor Terry teaches that when Jesus was given a crown of thorns, the Romans meant it for evil. However, God meant it for good, because now you can kneel before the King who defeated death.
We've spent several months going verse by verse through the gospel of Matthew. We've now reached a pivotal section in this account of the Lord's earthly life and ministry. In chapter sixteen we have a very touching scene where Mary is worshipping at the feet of Jesus. While some were critical of her, Jesus saw it for what it truly was… pure worship. And it should inspire us all to do the same. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29
God cannot be deceived. Outward righteousness does not always reflect inner holiness. Today, Pastor Terry discusses the Jews who brought Jesus to Pilate. They refused to enter the area where He was being beaten beyond recognition because they had prepared themselves for the Sabbath and did not want to become unclean. Ironically, while they appeared to be righteous, they were complicit in the death of Jesus. This contrast between their outward goodness and the evil they harbored is striking.

Maybe you've heard the phrase that gained some momentum a few decades ago: “Jesus is my friend.” A true statement for believers for sure. But does having Jesus as a friend leave us well short of the riches available to us? We'll continue our exploration of what the true Gospel is all about.

If your cup of coffee is lacking contact with actual ground coffee, you're basically drinking hot water. Not all that exciting. On a much more important level, what happens to the Gospel if we leave the cross out of it? A minor omission? Or a massive deletion of power and joy? We'll explore this question today.

Half of Aussie kids say they’ve been bullied in the past year — and for some, it’s relentless. If your child is caught in the middle of it, you can feel powerless, worried, and desperate for answers. In this powerful conversation, Professor Donna Cross shares a simple but life-changing 4-step approach to help your child feel heard, supported, and in control — plus what to try when you’ve “done it all” and nothing changes. You’ll learn: The hidden signs your child is struggling (and what not to miss) Why face-to-face bullying is still more common than cyberbullying The LATE model — a simple framework to guide every conversation Why walking or sitting side-by-side helps kids open up How to help when the bullying won’t stop — even after trying everything When changing schools is worth considering (and how to make it work) QUOTE OF THE EPISODE "Don’t take the wheel — take the ride. Let your child lead the conversation so they keep their sense of control." RESOURCES MENTIONED Part 1 of our interview with Professor Donna Cross. Friendly Schools - An evidence-based whole-school approach to social & emotional wellbeing & bullying prevention. Bullying No Way - Professional learning resources. Professor Donna Cross’s research on bullying prevention and intervention Happy Families resources on bullying When Your Child is Bullied: A Calm, Practical Guide for Parents [HF Article] Rebecca Sparrow's friendship resources for parents and kids (Australia's "Friendship Whisperer") Rebecca Sparrow's friendship resources for schools and educators No Bullying Week: "Be Bold. Be Kind. Speak Up." Kid's Helpline for Bullying Spotlight on cyberbullying - a resource for schools The eSafety Commissioner's Guide to Cyberbullying Webinars for schools - designed for 3/4 and 5/6 students (Bullying No Way 2025) ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Watch for warning signs — changes in mood, friendships, or routines. Use the LATE approach when your child opens up. L – Listen without rushing to take over. A – Acknowledge the hurt (“That sounds really tough”). T – Talk about options, letting your child lead the ideas. E – End with encouragement and keep the door open for future talks. Role-play tricky situations to build your child’s confidence and coping skills. Engage the school early and keep them informed — especially during transitions. Encourage bystander support skills in your child’s friendship group. If necessary, consider a school change — but plan supports to prevent the bullying from following them.

Bullying doesn’t just hurt feelings — it can rewire a child’s brain. In this powerful conversation for No Bullying Week, I speak with Professor Donna Cross, one of Australia’s leading bullying experts, about the profound short- and long-term impacts of bullying, why some children are targeted, and the surprising protective factors that can help shield kids from harm. You’ll learn what’s really going on in the minds of both bullies and their targets — and how parents can build a network of support that keeps kids safer at school and online. KEY POINTS Bullying can trigger long-term neurological and genetic changes through repeated stress responses. Effects can be similar to those seen in children experiencing abuse. High-risk factors for being bullied include loneliness, visible differences, lack of supportive bystanders, and not being well known or liked by teachers. Protective factors include multiple friendship groups, strong peer relationships, a culture of kindness, and supportive school environments. Social and physical environments — from seating arrangements to equipment availability — can influence bullying dynamics. Parents can play a key role by facilitating diverse friendship opportunities and monitoring online activity. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE "Probably the most protective factor is your child’s relationships with other young people — especially having multiple friendship groups." – Professor Donna Cross RESOURCES MENTIONED Professor Donna Cross’s research and publications happyfamilies.com.au – Resources on bullying prevention and response ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Help your child build multiple, diverse friendship groups. Encourage empathy and kindness at home and in school conversations. Partner with your child’s school to promote a positive social environment. Teach your child how to respond calmly to provocation. Monitor and guide your child’s online interactions to reduce cyberbullying risk. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
