Interview by Angela CroudaceWhen Cursed hit number seven on the Spotify global charts, Paleface Swiss didn't just make a statement — they detonated it into the metal world. For guitarist Yannick Lehmann, the milestone still feels surreal. "It's unbelievable. We're completely DIY, no label, nothing — so to see that kind of success is mind-blowing," he says.Formed in 2018 as a local Swiss act, Paleface Swiss quickly built momentum in the hardcore beatdown scene before COVID shut the world down. Instead of stalling, the band doubled down, writing two albums and teasing songs online. Their audience was ready and hungry by the time live shows returned.Switzerland may be known for peace and neutrality, but Paleface Swiss are proud to represent the country's heavier side. "We love being the hardest band from our country," Yannick laughs. Yet the journey wasn't straightforward. Yannick initially joined as a studio guitarist, unsure about committing full-time. Fast forward to 2025, and he's now a full-time musician, having traded carpentry for crushing riffs.With its raw, live-ready sound, Cursed was born under sunny skies in Spain's Canary Islands, with palm trees, a pool, and nightly darts championships. "We had the time of our lives making it," Yannick recalls. "When we write, we write to play live — raw and powerful." That live energy translates into ferocious shows, whether it's sweaty clubs or on massive festival stages.Australian fans, he says, match the wild energy of U.S. crowds, with memories of wheelchair crowd-surfing standing out. This September, the band returns to Australia, bringing friends and early inspirations Nasty along for the ride — a full-circle moment for a band heavily inspired by them in their formative years.Paleface Swiss' Influences range from metal titans Judas Priest and Iron Maiden to Slipknot, hardcore heavyweights, and even dubstep and hip-hop. That genre-blending spirit gives Cursed unexpected textures without losing its bone-crushing core.Off stage, Yannick stays grounded, valuing personal connections with fans over rock-star distance. And while a mandatory stint in Swiss military service looms after the tour, there's minimal downtime in sight. "We never rest," he says. "There's always something to do."With their relentless drive and genre-defying edge, Paleface Swiss aren't just rewriting the rules for heavy music in Switzerland; they're smashing them to pieces globally. This Aussie run of shows is one you don't wanna miss! Tickets: https://thephoenix.au/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

An episode from Queanbeyan Bible Baptist Church (QBBC), a conservative, independent body of King James Bible believers located near Canberra, NSW Australia. What QBBC believes about the Holy Bible: That both verbal and plenary inspiration applies to the Scriptures known as the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testament Canon.  That is, that God literally breathed His words and that every part of the Scriptures is the Word of God.  2 Timothy 3:16. We believe that God preserved His words as he promised to do. These words are preserved in the original languages of Hebrew and Greek exactly the way He intended them to be without need of addition or subtraction to any part of them. We also believe that the doctrine of inspiration is of no value without the doctrine of preservation.   We believe that the doctrine of inspiration is of no value without the doctrine of preservation. Therefore, the Authorized King James Version of 1611, is the perfect, preserved, inspired, infallible, inerrant Word of God for English speaking people. Simply, the Authorized King James Version is the Scriptures in English. It should be read, memorized, obeyed, and trusted as the very words of God as He intended them to be. The King James Bible is superior to any other version available and is the final authority in all matters. Exodus 24:3; Deuteronomy 6:6-9; 29:29; Joshua 1:8; Job 23:12; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; James 1:22. A message from QBBC to you: “If you are looking for a church in the Canberra, NSW Australia area that preaches the Truth from God's Word, reach out to us at any time.

Meghan and Miranda kick off with one of the wildest headlines yet: comedian Matt Rife has officially bought the Warren Occult Museum. Yes, the one that houses Annabelle the haunted doll. They've got thoughts (and maybe a few warnings). Then, the legendary Dr. Drew Pinsky joins for a deep dive into the psychological state of America post-2020. From the lingering effects of Covid-era fear to the unsettling surge in AI porn and hyper-potent marijuana use among young people, Dr. Drew brings sharp insight and serious perspective. It's part horror story, part health wake-up call... and 100% can't-miss.

Send us a textWhat does it truly mean to be saved? This profound exploration cuts through superficial theology to reveal the authentic gospel message - one that requires understanding what we're being saved from before we can appreciate salvation itself.The conversation opens with a challenging truth: preaching fear isn't just biblical, it's necessary. As one speaker powerfully states, "If the gospel is good news, it has to be bad news before good news." When we look to the cross, we should see both the horror of God's wrath and the magnitude of Christ's sacrifice on our behalf.Delving into Galatians, we discover how Christ redeemed us from the law's curse by becoming a curse for us, ensuring Abraham's blessing would extend to Gentiles through faith. This revolutionary understanding reshapes our entire perspective on salvation history - God contemplated the inclusion of Gentiles before there was even such a thing as a Jewish people! Abraham's very name ("father of many nations") testifies to this divine plan.The discussion takes a practical turn when addressing Scripture study. There are no shortcuts to spiritual growth - we cannot stand on God's Word if we don't know it. When the serpent tempted Eve in Eden, her uncertainty about God's exact instructions made her vulnerable. Similarly, our vague biblical knowledge leaves us susceptible to deception today.Perhaps most movingly, participants share personal testimonies of how immersion in Scripture has brought healing and transformation. Through trials and questioning, God uses His Word to shape us into Christ's image, providing comfort and direction when we feel lost.Ready to experience the life-changing power of understanding salvation more deeply?

Send us a textJustification by faith alone stands at the heart of the Christian gospel, yet it remains one of the most contested doctrines throughout church history. In this thought-provoking examination of Galatians 3:10-12, we explore Paul's passionate defense of salvation through faith apart from works of the law.Paul presents a stark dichotomy that challenges much of contemporary religious thinking: either we're justified by perfect law-keeping or through faith in Christ's finished work. There is no middle ground. When the Judaizers attempted to add circumcision and other legal requirements to faith in Christ, Paul recognized this as a fundamental corruption of the gospel message.The apostle delivers a sobering reality check by quoting Deuteronomy: "Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things written in the book of the law, to do them." This statement unveils the impossibility of justification through works. The standard isn't partial obedience or "doing our best" – it's absolute perfection from birth to death, something only Christ has achieved.What makes Christ's substitutionary work so beautiful is that He accomplished what was impossible for us. He perfectly fulfilled every requirement of God's law, died as our sacrifice, and was raised for our justification. Through faith, His perfect righteousness becomes ours, credited to our account so we can stand justified before a holy God.The implications are profound. Adding even one work requirement to faith fundamentally alters and nullifies the gospel of grace. Whether it's circumcision, Sabbath observance, baptism, or any religious ritual presented as necessary for salvation, such additions destroy the essence of justification by faith alone.Discover why this doctrine matters not just for salvation but for everyday Christian living. When we grasp that our standing before God depends entirely on Christ's work rather than our own, it transforms our motivation for obedience. Join us as we unpack this essential truth that has shaped Christian theology for two millennia.Support the show

Send us a textThe age-old debate about faith versus works continues to challenge Christians worldwide, but this powerful discussion cuts straight to the heart of the matter. What if both sides are missing something profound?Drawing from Galatians, Ephesians, and James, we uncover a transformative truth: believers don't work for salvation—they work because they are saved. This seemingly subtle distinction revolutionizes how we understand our relationship with God and His expectations of us."We bring nothing to the table except our sin," one participant notes, highlighting the complete dependence we have on God's grace. Everything else—our faith, our repentance, and even our good works—are gifts from Him. Most remarkably, Ephesians 2:10 reveals that God prepared our good works "beforehand," meaning they were ordained before we even existed.This conversation takes an unexpected turn when examining what it means to have God's law written on our hearts. When the Holy Spirit indwells believers, obedience flows naturally from love rather than obligation. As Jesus taught, all the law hangs on loving God and loving our neighbors—making legalism unnecessary for those truly transformed by grace.The discussion reaches its pinnacle with the revelation that salvation is entirely God's work: the Father in election, the Son in redemption, and the Holy Spirit in regeneration. Our part? Simply receiving what He freely gives.Whether you've struggled with legalism or wondered about your role in salvation, this conversation offers refreshing clarity that will transform how you view your faith journey. Listen now to discover the freedom that comes from understanding the true relationship between faith and works.Support the show

Send us a textThe frustrating simplicity of salvation through faith alone cuts against our deeply ingrained instincts to contribute something—anything—to our own redemption. This compelling discussion explores how God's plan for our justification has always been through faith, dating back to Habakkuk's declaration that "the just shall live by faith," yet we continually struggle to accept this truth.The conversation reveals a fascinating cultural dimension: Americans particularly resist accepting help without offering something in return. We're programmed to bring a dish to dinner even when told to just bring ourselves. This same instinct makes us uncomfortable with salvation that requires nothing from us except acceptance of Christ's finished work. As one participant powerfully stated, "What we bring to the table is sin."A remarkable insight emerges about how Jesus is addressed in Scripture. After the resurrection, the apostles never simply called him "Jesus" anymore—they consistently referred to him as "the Lord Jesus." From Thomas's declaration "My Lord and my God" to Paul's immediate recognition of Christ's authority on the Damascus road, this shift reflects a profound understanding of Christ's complete lordship.The discussion culminates in examining Paul's statement that "the law is not of faith." These approaches to God represent an unbridgeable divide: one demands flawless performance, while the other rests in Christ's perfect work. Given this choice, why would anyone choose the impossible path of law-keeping? Perhaps because, from Eden onward, humans have preferred the illusion of self-sufficiency over humble dependence on grace.Ready to stop frustrating the gospel by adding your own works to Christ's finished salvation? Join us as we explore the liberating truth that justification comes through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ—and him alone.Support the show

Send us a textThe tension between law and grace has challenged believers for centuries. What happens when someone claims they've actually kept all of God's commandments? We witnessed this extraordinary moment when a caller named Superwoman made this very assertion, sparking a riveting biblical examination that cuts to the heart of salvation.As the conversation unfolds, we explore how the Sermon on the Mount reveals the impossibility of perfect law-keeping. Jesus himself raised the standard to show that anger equals murder and lust equals adultery in God's eyes. This powerful teaching demonstrates why the law was never meant as a pathway to righteousness but as a mirror revealing our desperate need for divine intervention.Scripture speaks with remarkable clarity on this issue. The law functions as our tutor, pointing us to Christ by exposing our sin without providing the means to cleanse it. As one participant beautifully explains, "All the law does is give notification that something is broken within us that it cannot repair. The only repair package is God's grace." This aligns perfectly with Paul's teaching that we are justified by faith alone.Romans 11:6 establishes the stark incompatibility of grace and works: "If by grace, then it is no longer works; otherwise grace is no longer grace." There's no middle ground – salvation comes entirely through grace or entirely through works. Since Scripture clearly teaches that all have sinned, works-based approaches necessarily fail.The beautiful truth emerges: Christ has redeemed us from the law's curse by becoming a curse for us. As Galatians 3:3 asks, "After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh?" Your obedience should flow from gratitude for salvation already secured, not as payment toward one you're still trying to earn.Join us for this compelling conversation that will challenge legalistic thinking and remind you of the liberating power of faith alone in Christ alone. After all, only one option is perfect and only one is alive and pleading on our behalf.Support the show

Send us a textDelving into the heart of Galatians 3, we unpack the revolutionary concept of justification by faith that forms the foundation of authentic Christian belief. This examination reveals how profoundly misunderstood this core doctrine remains among believers today.The apostle Paul makes a startling statement that should shake the foundations of works-based religion: those attempting to achieve justification through law-keeping are actually under a curse. Why? Because the standard is absolute perfection—not just in actions but in thoughts and tendencies as well. One slip, one failure, and the entire endeavor crumbles.When we arrive at Galatians 3:13, we discover what might be the most concise expression of the gospel in Scripture: "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us." These simple words contain the revolutionary doctrine of substitution—Christ taking our place and suffering what we deserved. The phrase "for us" carries immense theological weight, revealing that salvation isn't merely an opportunity Christ provides but a completed transaction.This understanding of substitutionary atonement naturally leads to the doctrine of eternal security. If Christ truly became our curse-bearer, then for us to later face condemnation would constitute a form of "double jeopardy"—being punished twice for the same offense. Such a scenario would not only undermine Christ's finished work but would also make God unjust by His own standards.William Tyndale's brilliant translation of "atonement" as "at-one-ment" captures the essence of what Christ accomplished—making us permanently "at one" with God through His sacrifice. This unbreakable bond forms the foundation of our eternal security.Join us as we explore how one verse contains the entire gospel and why truly grasping justification by faith transforms everything about how we approach God, understand salvation, and live out our faith. When you comprehend what Christ has done for you, religion's anxious striving gives way to grateful, secure rest in His finished work.Support the show

Send us a textWhat are we truly saved from? It's a seemingly simple question that opens the door to profound theological truths about Christ's sacrifice and God's redemptive plan. In this thought-provoking episode, we dive deep into the concept of Christ becoming a curse for us – a judicial declaration that transformed humanity's relationship with God. We explore why the eternal Son of God had to suffer temporarily to save us from eternal punishment, and how this reveals the infinite value of His sacrifice.The conversation tackles challenging questions about God's sovereignty in salvation. Why does God choose to save some and not others? Is this fair? Drawing from Romans 9 and other key passages, we examine how God's sovereign choices allow all His attributes – justice, mercy, love, and holiness – to shine forth in perfect harmony.We also confront dangerous theological errors circulating today, particularly the idea of universal salvation. If everyone will ultimately be saved regardless of faith, why did Christ need to become a curse? Such teaching not only renders the gospel unnecessary but fails to understand the nature of God's justice.Perhaps most beautiful is our examination of the great exchange at salvation's core. Christ took our sin and gave us His righteousness – a transaction that forever eliminates condemnation for believers. This salvation requires only belief, yet we humans often complicate what God made simple.Listen as we wrestle with these profound truths that reveal both what we're saved from (God's wrath) and what we're saved to (relationship with God). This understanding should foster unity among believers as we stand in awe of the one who became a curse for us.Support the show

On this chilling episode of Late Night Legends, K leads the team into one of the most infamous cases in paranormal history: the story of Annabelle the Doll. Joined by Tim, Maria, and Charlie, the crew unravels the unsettling origin and growing mythology around this seemingly innocent Raggedy Ann doll turned alleged demonic vessel.We explore the original 1970s haunting, when a nursing student claimed Annabelle moved on her own and left eerie handwritten notes. Things escalated until the case caught the attention of famed demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren, who locked her away in their Occult Museum with a warning: “Positively Do Not Open.”But the legend didn't end there. From rumors of her “escape” in 2020, to viral TikToks, museum controversies, and the cultural impact of the Conjuring universe, K guides the team through recent developments, raising the question: is this truly a haunted artifact—or the most brilliant paranormal PR campaign of all time?The Legends are split down the middle. Is Annabelle a genuine case of possession… or just a well-stitched con?

My dear, not all love stories end in tragedy—Some begin with it.In this collection of four chilling tales, we wander through the dim corridors of human darkness: where affection turns fatal, relics thirst for blood, and even the most precise minds unravel beneath the weight of murder.

I want to piggyback off the final two verses from the first chapter in James that we looked at last week, which states: If anyone thinks himself to be religious, yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this persons religion is worthless. Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world (1:26-27). From these two verses, I have two questions that help us make more sense of the verses that follow in James 2:1-13. The first question we need to ask is this: What makes faith worthless? The person who says that he/she believes and follows Jesus yet has not bridled their tongue. The second question is this: If undefiled religion is to visit orphans and widows in their distress, what is defiled religion? It is a person of faith who claims to follow Jesus but ignores the most vulnerable of society: Widows and orphans. In the first century, widows and orphans were vulnerable. Widows faced economic hardships without a male in the home to provide. Orphans lacked the protection of a father. Widows without children were at times isolated and ostracized. Orphans often were without the tender care of their mothers. In many ways, widows and orphans were marginalized in society. For the first century church, the care of widows and orphans was a social justice issue that the first century church understood needed to be address as we are all commanded to address: Learn to do good; seek justice, rebuke the oppressor, obtain justice for the orphan, plead for the widows case (Isa. 1:17). Because the needs of the widows and orphans grew, and were beginning to be overlooked, the leaders in the first century church charged a group of men with the task of looking after such people (see Acts 6:1-6). So why is this important when our text this morning is James 2:1-13? Because a faith that rests in Jesus is one that responds to the needs of the marginalized. When a person goes from spiritual death to spiritual life and is born again, there are two levels of love that begin to flow through the spiritual veins of the one who is now a living and breathing child of God, and that is a love for God and a love for ones neighbor. When you are born again your new love for God begins to flow to the point of overflowing to the point that it is expressed in the Christians horizontal relationships. This is why when Jesus was asked what the greatest commandment was, He said: You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and foremost commandment (Matt. 22:37). However, Jesus did not stop there, He continued: The second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. Upon these two commandments hang the whole Law and the Prophets James was no doubt aware of Jesus answer to the Pharisees question concerning the greatest commandment. The first four commandments concern our love and relationship with God and the final six commandments concern our love and relationship with our neighbors. Jesus begins with the greatest commandment because how we treat our neighbor reflects the condition of our relationship with God. This is why James wrote in verse 10, For whoever keeps the whole Law, yet stumbles in one point, has become guilty of all. The NLT translates this verse in a way that ought to help you get the point James is making: For the person who keeps all of the laws except one is as guilty as a person who has broken all of Gods laws. In other words each of the Ten Commandments are inter-connected. It is not segmented or impartial just like genuine and saving faith is not impartial. Impartial Faith is Gracious (vv. 1-5) I am not sure what was going on in these churches of the Christians James was writing to, but it seems that something was off relationally concerning how they treated one another. Apparently, the rich were treated with some level of favoritism over the poor. We know this because of what James writes in verses 1, My brothers and sisters, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James did not write this to keep these Christians from showing favoritism but was forbidding them from doing what they already were doing. If you are a Christian, then you are a bond-servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ (v. 1). To be a bond-servant is to be a slave of Christ; the bond-servant of Jesus means that you are neither free nor hired, but property of your Master. Dont think of slavery to Jesus as something degrading, for in slavery to Jesus is where true freedom is known. However, to be a bond-servant of Christ and to show favoritism by treating one person more valuable than the other is a contradiction especially the kind of favoritism James was addressing related to the way the rich were treated over the poor. We know this because of the verses that follow: For if a man comes into your assembly with a gold ring and is dressed in bright clothes, and a poor man in dirty clothes also comes in, and you pay special attention to the one who is wearing the bright clothes, and say, You sit here in a good place, and you say to the poor man, You stand over there, or sit down by my footstool, have you not made distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil motives? (vv. 2-4) The gold ring on a persons finger was worn by the upper-level Roman equestrian class. Those with a gold-ring were not only wealthy, but were highly influential. Now think of what it would have been like if you were a marginalized Christian Jew, who had an upper-level Roman citizen walk into your church service who also claimed to be a brother or sister in Christ? You might be tempted to think that if you could just get close to this person, that may help in your standing in society! Surely close friendship with the person who wore the gold-ring would be a better use of your time than friendship with another poor and marginalized Christian. To treat one person with more honor than the other because of their social status in this world is to discount the fact that regardless of their social standing, all people bear the image of God and should be treated as such. What made the situation even more grievous is that this kind of favoritism was going on among Christians whose salvation had nothing to do with their standing in society. The apostle Paul addressed some of the same issues within the Corinthian church when he wrote the following: For consider your calling, brothers and sisters, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong, and the insignificant things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are, so that no human may boast before God. So in response to this kind of favoritism, James admonished these Christians: Listen, my beloved brothers and sisters: did God not choose the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him? In other words, the rich and the poor, the weak and the strong, all have the same thing in common from the moment of birth: We are all born alienated from God and are by nature dead in our sins. Yet, Jesus found us and died for us, and it is through His redeeming work that regardless of your social status, your tribe, or what part of the world you were born in or currently live... He died for sinners such as us! Impartial Faith is Loving (vv. 5-9) The same grace the rich are in dire need to receive, is the same grace available to the poor. The same grace that is available to the Jew is also available to the Gentile! The thing that the apostle Peter had a difficult time wrapping his mind around initially was that salvation was equally made available to Gentiles, and that Jesus is equally the Lamb of God, the Lion of Judah, and the Messiah to the Jew as He is to those who grew up eating ham sandwiches, peperoni pizza, Italian hoagies, fried shrimp, and even pork feet. A Jew would not even go into the home of a Gentile because they were considered unclean. Peter was one such Jew until God rebuked him and told him not to label unclean what God has made clean (see Acts 10:9ff). After Peter was sent into the home of a Gentile and witnessed Gods saving work in the entire household of Cornelious, he responded: Opening his mouth, Peter said: I most certainly understand now that God is not one to show partiality, but in every nation the one who fears Him and does what is right is acceptable to Him (Acts 10:34-35). Peters issue was that he could not see how the God of the Hebrews could love and save unclean Gentiles. Peters sin was really not that different than the favoritism that was shown for the rich over the poor in the churches James wrote his epistle to. It is nothing new that the poor are marginalized or forgotten in the world. Consider the Netflix documentary titled Gone Girls; Rex Heuermann was able to murder scores of prostitutes because they were not treated with the same value as other women. It is estimated that 50 million people live in slavery in our world on this very day. Consider the following statistics related to the 50 million slaves that exist in our world today: 6 million victims of human trafficking worldwide. 23% of these victims (roughly 6.3 million people)are trafficked forcommercial sexual exploitation. 78% of those trafficked for commercial sexual exploitation are women and girls and 22% are men and boys. 92% of sex trafficking victims are adults, and 8% are children. Add to this that in 2024, there was an estimated 1.14 million abortions in the United States alone! We live in a world that that does not value human life. Regarding the partialism that James addressed, he was not surprised that it was happening in a fallen world, he was heartbroken that it was happening among those who claimed to follow Jesus. Why? Because of all people, we who are the redeemed of the Lord Jesus, ought to understand that we bear the image of the living God. To dehumanize a person based on their social or economic status is not only evil, but such behavior blasphemes the Name of the God whose image we reflect (v. 7-8). You can say that you love God all that you want, but according to James 2:9, if you show partiality, you are committing sin by violating the commandments concerning the way we must love our neighbor. In James view (as is true in the rest of the Bible), if you do not love your neighbor, can you really say that you love the God who sent His son to die for that person? Can James be any clearer: But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the Law as violators (v. 9). Impartial Faith is Merciful (vv. 10-13) Christian, we are a people who have received mercy, and it was not ordinary mercy you received. The mercy you received is not like the mercy a police officer may have shown you by refraining from writing you the ticket you deserved. The apostle Paul described the kind of mercy you received in this way: But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our wrongdoings, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved)... The mercy we have received is rich and it is a mercy we did not deserve, nor could we earn. Now, just so you know, verse 10 was written within the context of dehumanizing, ignoring, or treating as less important the poor because they do not have the influence that the wealthy have. I have and will continue to use verse 10 when I share the gospel with others, which states: For whoever keeps the whole Law, yet stumbles in one point, has become guilty of all. In other words, if you are feeling good about not violating the first and second commandments because you do not bow down to any idol in worship and claim to worship God alone, but break any of the other commandments, you are guilty of being a commandment breaker. What does it mean to break any one of Gods commandments? James tells us in verse 11, For He who said, Do not commit adultery, also said, Do not murder. Now if you do not commit adultery, but do murder, you have become a violator of the Law. Jesus said that if you look at another woman with lust, you are guilty of adultery (see Matt. 5:27-28), and He also said that if you hate or verbally abuse another person, you are also guilty of murder (see Matt. 5:21-22). Whats the point? The point is that we have sinned, still sin, and will sin; it is for all our sins that Jesus was crucified, bled, and slaughtered. The prophet Isaiah wrote of Jesus: But He was pierced for our offenses, He was crushed for our wrongdoings; the punishment for our well-being was laid upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed (Isa. 53:5); the apostle Paul wrote in Galatians 3:13, Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for usfor it is written: Cursed is everyone who hangs on a Tree... We have been forgiven of so much, and the price paid upon His cross was, is, and will always be enough! Because of the rich mercy we continue to receive, James issues a command in verses 12-13, So speak, and so act, as those who are to be judged by the law of freedom. For judgment will be merciless to the one who has shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment. What is the law of freedom? It is the royal law of love! Why did you receive mercy? You received mercy and now you are born again Christian, ...because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our wrongdoings, made us alive together with Christ (Eph. 2:5). Conclusion Because of the mercy we have received, the fruit of our faith is to be saturated by the grace, love, and mercy we received in the way we treat our neighbors. In case you are not clear on what that looks like, Jesus could not have made it any clearer: I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all people will know that you are My disciples: if you have love for one another (John 13:34-35). The sin of partiality is not only in how we treat the wealthy over the poor. The sin of partiality comes in all sorts of shapes and sizes. It can come in how we value a person based on the color of their skin or ethnicity. It can also come in how we rightfully stand against abortion while remaining silent regarding the sexual exploitation of children. We ought not to be surprised when the sin of partiality is present in our world, but it ought to grieve our hearts when it finds its way into Christs church. We who have received the grace, love, and mercy of God through Jesus Christ ought to be known as a people whose words and actions embody the essence of the grace, love, and mercy we freely received.

Malachi 1:1-14 The oracle of the word of the Lord to Israel by Malachi. 2 “I have loved you,” says the Lord. But you say, “How have you loved us?” “Is not Esau Jacob's brother?” declares the Lord. “Yet I have loved Jacob 3 but Esau I have hated. I have laid waste his hill country and left his heritage to jackals of the desert.” 4 If Edom says, “We are shattered but we will rebuild the ruins,” the Lord of hosts says, “They may build, but I will tear down, and they will be called ‘the wicked country,' and ‘the people with whom the Lord is angry forever.'” 5 Your own eyes shall see this, and you shall say, “Great is the Lord beyond the border of Israel!” 6 “A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If then I am a father, where is my honor? And if I am a master, where is my fear? says the Lord of hosts to you, O priests, who despise my name. But you say, ‘How have we despised your name?' 7 By offering pol-luted food upon my altar. But you say, ‘How have we polluted you?' By saying that the Lord's table may be despised. 8 When you offer blind animals in sacrifice, is that not evil? And when you offer those that are lame or sick, is that not evil? Present that to your governor; will he accept you or show you favor? says the Lord of hosts. 9 And now entreat the favor of God, that he may be gracious to us. With such a gift from your hand, will he show favor to any of you? says the Lord of hosts. 10 Oh that there were one among you who would shut the doors, that you might not kindle fire on my altar in vain! I have no pleasure in you, says the Lord of hosts, and I will not accept an offering from your hand. 11 For from the rising of the sun to its setting my name will be great among the nations, and in every place incense will be offered to my name, and a pure offering. For my name will be great among the nations, says the Lord of hosts. 12 But you profane it when you say that the Lord's table is polluted, and its fruit, that is, its food may be despised. 13 But you say, ‘What a weariness this is,' and you snort at it, says the Lord of hosts. You bring what has been taken by violence or is lame or sick, and this you bring as your offering! Shall I accept that from your hand? says the Lord. 14 Cursed be the cheat who has a male in his flock, and vows it, and yet sacrifices to the Lord what is blemished. For I am a great King, says the Lord of hosts, and my name will be feared among the nations.

On today's Free Swim, we are joined by Chief and Danny. We start with a sad realization that summer is almost over (1:52), and then switch gears to talking about swearing to god and lying (4:43). Next we get into a deep discussion about unlucky number 13, our weird superstitions, and the history behind them (7:55). Then we tell the story of Chief's infamous peanut butter cup curse (19:55). We also talk about Saint Anthony and the roles of other saints (23:42). Next we get into our on the leash / off the leash segment where we discuss showing up to places right before closing (26:28) which results into a much needed shoutout to service workers (40:33).You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.
