In Lystra, they meet Timothy, who joins them after being circumcised to satisfy others. Guided by the Holy Spirit, they are directed to Macedonia following Paul's vision of a man pleading for help. In Philippi, they encounter Lydia, a seller of purple, who converts to Christianity. Later, Paul and Silas liberate a slave girl from an evil spirit, angering her owners, who have them beaten and imprisoned. Around midnight, while they are singing and praying, an earthquake occurs, and the prison doors swing open. The jailer fears for his life, but Paul shares the message of Jesus with him. The jailer and his household are baptized that very hour. The next day, Paul and Silas are officially released. Paul's missionary journey is led by the Holy Spirit. God actively guides him to those whose hearts are prepared for salvation. God continues to reach people today, and we are His vessels to carry the message of Christ, even though our effort may require personal sacrifice. This chapter highlights at least three conversions, each involving a commitment from the new believers as well. Timothy was circumcised, not for salvation, but to gain influence among the Jews. Lydia and her household were likely the first converts in all of Europe. The jailer risked his life by aligning himself and his household with imprisoned men. The gospel demands submission, sacrifice, and courage from all believers in the name of Jesus Christ.  Gracious God, thank You for the powerful stories of faith found in Acts 16. Like Timothy, we pray for a willingness to make personal sacrifices for the sake of others. Like Lydia, we seek to have a heart that is always open to obey You. Like Paul and Silas, we pray for the courage to praise Your name, even in life's most challenging trials. And like the jailer, we ask You to help us build the urgency to do what is right in the very hour that we learn the truth. Open our hearts to respond to Your glorious will. Thought Questions: -       Why was Timothy circumcised? Are you willing to do something painful or hard simply for the sake of someone else's conscience? -       The Lord opened Lydia's heart. What does this mean? How does the Lord open your heart, and what should be the results of such an event? -       Paul and Barnabas rejoiced in trial, and God used the occasion to convert a family to Christ. Is God working similar plans in your times of trial?

Join your host, Hunter, as we journey through Day 151 of our trip through the Bible. Today, we continue in Proverbs, chapters 13 through 15, where wisdom for daily living abounds—from guarding our words and embracing discipline, to the value of humility and the power of a gentle answer. Then, we turn to Romans 11, as Paul dives into the mystery of God's grace—free and undeserved—for both Jews and Gentiles alike. Through readings, reflection, and heartfelt prayer, this episode invites us to rest in God's boundless mercy, trust in His wisdom, and remember one thing above all: you are loved. Settle in for encouragement, reflection, and the daily strength found in God's word. TODAY'S DEVOTION: It is what it is—and what it is, is grace. As Paul writes in Romans 11, God's grace is free and undeserved, offered to Jew and Gentile alike. In verse 6, he puts it plainly: “And since it is through God's kindness, then it is not through their good works. For in that case, God's grace would not be what it really is, free and undeserved.” We keep returning to this good news: there is enough love to go around for everyone, enough grace for all people, from every tribe and nation. God's mercy is deeper, wider, and higher than we can begin to comprehend. Paul exclaims, “Oh, how great are God's riches and wisdom and knowledge. How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways.” We may not be able to make sense of it all, but the mystery is this: God's mercy is poured out on all—despite our failures and disobedience, despite whether we think we are deserving. His grace is not dependent on our goodness, but rooted deeply in his own loving character. So what are we to do with this wondrous, boundless mercy? Paul's invitation, and the call of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation, is to trust in what God has done for us. It's about him—about his saving work, his unending love. We are invited to live in him, to let his grace transform us, to move forward each day in the light of his boundless love and mercy. That is my prayer for myself: to be shaped by this grace, to remember that it is not my effort, but God's love that sustains me. It's my prayer for my family, for my wife and children. And it's my prayer for you today—may you rest secure in the truth that you are loved. God's mercy is enough, God's grace is sufficient, and in him we find our hope. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Loving god, you have knit us together in the body of Christ from every nation and tongue. Make us a vessel of your peace today. Make us a vessel of your peace today. Where hatred stirs, let us bear your love. Where wounds run deep, let us be agents of pardon. Where fear grips hearts, may we speak faith. Where sorrow hangs heavy, may we carry joy. Teach us to listen more than we speak, to understand before we are understood, to love. For in surrender, we find abundance. In mercy, we discover grace. And in dying, we rise into your life. In the name of Jesus. 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 trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever and ever. Amen.

If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comActs 15 “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.” These words from Jewish believers create significant dissension among the brethren. Paul and Barnabas travel to Jerusalem to discuss the issue with the apostles and elders there. Peter announces that salvation comes through faith and recounts how God bestowed the Holy Spirit upon Cornelius. Paul and Barnabas contribute by sharing stories of the salvation of Gentiles during their recent journey. In no case was circumcision required for salvation. James quotes the Old Testament to indicate God's plan to include Gentiles. Everyone involved agrees that no such burden should be placed upon new believers. A letter is written and sent to the church in Antioch. Afterward, Paul and Barnabas have a disagreement and embark upon missionary journeys separately.    Even among believers, conflicts can arise. Often, people impose their beliefs on others, leading to division. The key to resolution is communication and a willingness to seek the workings and word of God. With open hearts, the truth about salvation can be discovered and shared. God could have revealed that circumcision was unnecessary. Instead, He expected them to study, show patience and kindness, and learn together. God expects the same from us today. We can explore the liberties and restrictions of God in unity. The story at the end of the chapter involving Paul, Barnabas, and Mark illustrates how disagreements can lead to temporary separation. Yet, they continue their work as brothers and are united in the years that follow.  Loving God, soften our hearts to love one another. So many Christians have been divided over issues that should not have come between them. Help us learn to listen closely, to speak thoughtfully, and to study scripture together with unbiased and inquisitive minds. It is a blessing to see the gathering in Jerusalem unify in acknowledging the liberties among them and coming up with needful restrictions. Grant us the wisdom to reach conclusions together that align with Your will. Father, we sometimes face disagreements and separate for periods of time. Please humble our hearts to come together in love quickly. Thought Questions: -       Should brethren be careful in declaring certain conditions for salvation? Why is it crucial to explain your convictions clearly from scripture? -       Why is it valuable to gather with other students of the word when deciding issues related to salvation or the future of local churches? -       Barnabas defends John Mark in much the same way as he did Paul in chapter 9. Are you an encourager who often defends

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, host Hunter guides us through day 150 of our journey, exploring Proverbs chapters 10-12 and Romans chapter 10. Together, we reflect on wisdom, integrity, generosity, and Paul's reminder that God's arms are always open to us. Hunter encourages us to embrace the love God freely offers, live a life rooted in gratitude, and share that thankfulness with those around us. Join us for a time of scripture, prayer, and reflection as we discover how God's love transforms our daily lives. Let's dive in! TODAY'S DEVOTION: Open Arms I love how Paul ends his chapter where he says, regarding Israel, All day long, I have opened my arms to them. Open arms. That's the picture Paul wants to leave us with. God's arms are open, always embracing, always drawing us in, always pursuing us, all day long. And, of course, it is entirely right for us to make the application not only for Israel, but for us, for the world. God's arms are open all day long. And, of course, that is revealed in its most perfect expression in the life of our Lord Jesus—his arms spread wide open on that cross, embracing the world. For God so loved the world that he gave himself. My prayer today is that I will live each and every day of my life fully aware, fully convinced, fully embracing the God who has embraced me. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Almighty and ever loving god, you have brought us to the light of a new morning. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your holy spirit that we may walk this day in peace. Guard our steps from temptation. Shield us from the weight of fear and shame, and lead us deeper into the joy of your presence through Jesus Christ our lord. Amen. Oh Christ, light of the nations, shine in every place where shadows dwell. Call the scattered home. Heal the wounds of division, and gather all people into the communion of your grace. May the knowledge of the lord cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Amen. And now, lord, make my hands ready for mercy. Make my eyes quick to see the hurting, my ears open to the cry of the lonely, and my feet swift to bring good news. Let me seek to bless, not to be noticed, to serve, not to be praised, to forgive, not to hold back. For in your way is life, in your mercy is healing, and in your love is the peace this world cannot give. 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 trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever.

However, opposition arises, forcing them to flee to Lystra and Derbe. In Lystra, Paul heals a man who has been crippled from birth, leading the crowd to mistake them for the Greek gods Zeus and Hermes. Paul and Barnabas tear their clothes and urge the people to worship the living God rather than men. Jewish opponents arrive from Iconium and Antioch, resulting in Paul being stoned and left for dead; however, he survives and continues preaching. They travel back through previous cities, strengthening the disciples, encouraging believers to remain faithful, and reminding them that hardship is a part of entering God's kingdom. They appoint elders in each church and entrust them to the Lord. All glory belongs to God for every good work done in His name. Paul and Barnabas performed miracles that changed lives, drawing praise from the people. However, they emphatically redirected that praise to God, proclaiming that He created all things and that every blessing comes entirely from His graciousness. We too must share God's gifts, bless others, and ensure everyone knows that all good things come from above. The goal is to build local churches with full allegiance to God and His will. This includes praising Him and honoring His design for churches, such as establishing elders in every church.  Great Protector, we praise You for the blessings You bestow upon Your people. We believe You equip us to do good work in any environment, even when opponents of Christ are present. Please grant us wisdom to know how to serve You and others. When people respond positively, instill in us the humility to give all credit and praise to You. We ask for the maturity to not only stand firm but also to become active encouragers of others to do so as well. Use us in Your local churches, establishing them according to Your will and for Your glorification.   Thought Questions: -       The time came when apostles had to move on to teach others. How do you know when it is time to do that with someone in your life? -       Paul went from being called a god to being stoned almost immediately. What does that tell you about the life of a sharer of the gospel? -       Teaching people is more than initial submission to Christ. Why is it important to continue to strengthen and encourage disciples?

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! Today, on Day 149 of our journey, Hunter invites us to walk together through the wisdom-filled chapters of Proverbs 7–9 and explore the deep truths of Romans 9. As we turn the pages, we'll hear wisdom's call, reflect on the contrast between choosing God's ways versus straying paths, and wrestle with the profound mysteries of God's mercy and grace. Through prayer and heartfelt reflection, Hunter reminds us that the heart of wisdom is trusting in God and embracing our identity as beloved children of a good and noble Father. Whether summer sunshine is lighting up your world or you're seeking a ray of hope, settle in and let the scriptures direct your heart today—because here, you are always loved, full stop. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Wisdom has a secret, and the secret is to trust in God. We are reminded today not to exclude God and simply rely on our own understanding, but to lean on Him. The writer of Proverbs addresses us as children, calling us into a relationship with God that is like family. The wisdom of God isn't merely a set of rules or memorized dictates—it's something we experience within a loving relationship with the Creator. He invites us to know Him, to be known by Him, to enter into conversation, to walk as His sons and daughters. Anyone who trusts in Him will never be disgraced. There's much I don't understand—about God, about my own heart—but the lesson that comes again and again is that I can trust Him. His purposes toward us are always good, and He's always working for our best. Sometimes, pride and self-sufficiency creep in, and I start to think and act more like an employee than a beloved child. Entitlement, ingratitude, distance enter my heart. But the voice of Wisdom calls even louder to us in those moments, like a good Father, shepherding us away from destruction, drawing us toward life. That's why I come to the Word each day, together with you—not to pile up information, but to let the Father draw me into His life and His joy. To accept the invitation of Wisdom is to see ourselves as God sees us, His children, drawn into relationship by grace alone, not by anything we've done. And this love, this grace, it's not limited or exclusive—it's God's welcome extended to every human being, right where we are. When we trust in Him, we discover grace. We are enfolded in His kindness, made alive and joyful in His love. And so I pray this for my own soul, for my family—my wife, my daughters, my son—and I pray it for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Gracious and everlasting God, you have brought us through the shadow of night into the promise of a new day. You go before us with your mercy, sustain us by your grace, and keep us from wandering paths of fear or pride. Let every word we speak and every step we take be formed by the goodness of Christ. Oh, Lord, gather your people far and near. May every tribe and tongue come to know your peace. Let justice roll like a river and healing flow where there has been division. Pour out your spirit upon all flesh, and bring us closer to the day when your kingdom comes in fullness through Jesus Christ our Lord. 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 trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever and ever. 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.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

"Immorality Defiles the Church" and "Immorality Must Be Judged" How long have we been told that we are not supposed to judge others?  Is that true, or are we called to learn to discern according to God's ways so we can judge and be like Him? In the New Millenium, we will be in charge of His court and we will judge angels.  This passage actually describes who we are supposed to judge, and who we are not supposed to judge, as well as who to actually remove from our churches.   If you are blessed by today's Bible study, please support my channel by liking, subscribing, commenting, and sharing with your friends and family!  I am not a Pastor, and agree with God's word that women are not supposed to be Pastors.  However, It IS perfectly acceptable and Biblical for women to lead Bibles studies outside the church, and especially if it is a viable avenue for study of the Word on a daily basis, paving the way for all of us to be closer to the Lord and become more knowledgeable of the Bible.

They travel to Cyprus, where they preach in synagogues and face opposition from Elymas, a sorcerer who attempts to prevent the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, from believing. Paul, filled with the Spirit, rebukes Elymas and temporarily blinds him. Witnessing this, the proconsul believes. Paul and Barnabas then continue to Pisidian Antioch, where Paul delivers a powerful message recounting Israel's history and proclaiming the glory of the resurrected Christ, which fulfills God's promises to Israel. Many Gentiles believe and rejoice, but Jewish leaders grow jealous, forcing Paul and Barnabas to leave the district. Despite the opposition, the truth spreads, and the disciples are “filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.” The Holy Spirit guides Paul and Barnabas on a journey to share the truth about Jesus. Their commission serves as a reminder that the Holy Spirit is still alive and active today, with work prepared for us to do as well. Paul's courage in confronting Elymas demonstrates how God supports us when we stand against those who reject Jesus. His sermon in Pisidian Antioch highlights that God has been working to prepare redemption in Jesus Christ for generations. God's plan to raise Jesus from the dead and offer forgiveness to believers is greater, deeper, and more magnificent than we can imagine. We must share this message of grace and reconciliation, hopeful that there are many hearts longing for eternal hope.   Benevolent Father, thank You for the work of Your Holy Spirit. He moves today in ways that differ from the supernatural urgings and miracles of the first century, but this does not diminish His presence in our lives. Grant us the wisdom to hear the teachings of scripture and to be attuned to the guidance You provide for us. Even among non-believers, give us the faith to remain vigilant for Christ. We thank You for Jesus' plan from the beginning. We exalt You for raising Him from the dead and promising us redemption now and future resurrection to eternal life.     Thought Questions: -       Is the Holy Spirit alive and active in encouraging you to take extreme action for Christ? If so, how does He accomplish this today? -       Why was Paul so direct with Elymas? And why is it important to directly address people if they are negatively influencing others? -       The resurrection of Jesus changed lives among the tenderhearted. Who will you tell about the power of His resurrection today?

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where each day we journey together through the pages of Scripture. In today's episode, host Hunter invites us into Proverbs chapters 4 through 6 and the powerful truth found in Romans chapter 8. We'll reflect on the call to pursue wisdom, the promise of God's transformative love, and what it means to live free from condemnation. At the heart of today's reading is a message of hope: no matter our brokenness, nothing can separate us from the love of God revealed in Christ Jesus. Join us as we spend time in prayer, gratitude, and encouragement—reminding ourselves and one another that we are deeply loved by God and invited to walk in the fullness of His resurrection life. So, grab your Bible and let's dive in as we set our hearts on wisdom, freedom, and the unbreakable love of God. TODAY'S DEVOTION: God does what our bodies cannot do, and God achieves what our sinful natures fail to achieve. At the beginning of Romans 8, we hear: “So God did what the law could not do. He sent his own Son in a body like the bodies we sinners have. And in that body, God declared an end to sin's control over us by giving his Son as a sacrifice for our sins.” There are just some things that cannot be done on our own, try as we might. We and our world are too broken, and to us, it might seem beyond repair, beyond redemption, or hope. But not to God. All things are possible with God. God sent us Mister Hope himself, his Son, in a body like ours. And through Jesus, God brought us the life he shares with the Father and the Spirit—a vision for what our lives can be as we walk in his Spirit. Resurrection life is on offer to us—right here, right now. A life not just someday, but a life of hope, peace, joy, kindness, and grace. A life free. You are loved by God. He has united himself to you, just as you are, in his Son. And there is now no separation—not from your circumstance, your shame, your failings, not from anything in heaven or earth. That's the promise in Christ: there is no separating you from that love. Now, because of what Christ has done for you, you are invited to live into that love, to live in and through Christ by the Spirit. Let his life in you find fuller expression today in everything you do. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Loving God, you have knit us together in the body of Christ from every nation and tongue. Make us a vessel of your peace today. Make us a vessel of your peace today. Where hatred stirs, let us bear your love. Where wounds run deep, let us be agents of pardon. Where fear grips hearts, may we speak faith. Where sorrow hangs heavy, May we carry joy. Teach us to listen more than we speak. To understand before we are understood. To love. For in surrender, we find abundance. In mercy, we discover grace. And in dying, we rise into your life. In the name of Jesus. Amen. And now as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name.

Send us a textGood morning! Thank you for taking a few minutes to listen. If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comActs 12 King Herod persecutes the church, killing the apostle James, the first apostle martyred for the cause of Christ. He also arrests Peter, planning to execute him after Passover. The church prays fervently to God for Peter's deliverance. An angel miraculously frees him from prison, guiding him past the guards. Initially thinking this is a vision, Peter soon realizes he is free and heads to a home where the disciples are gathered in prayer. Overjoyed yet astonished, they welcome him in. Furious over Peter's escape and unable to recapture him, Herod executes the guards. Later, Herod permits the people of the region to call him a god, and immediately an angel of the Lord strikes him dead! Yet “the word of the Lord continues to grow and to be multiplied.” This chapter begins and ends with King Herod. He strikes a blow against the church by killing James but is ultimately killed by God and rendered irrelevant. Explaining why God allowed James's death is difficult. However, it is humbling and important to recognize that God permitted this to fulfill His greater purpose of spreading the gospel. Furthermore, God placed limits on what Herod could do, freeing Peter before he could be killed. We must always trust that God is in control, even when evil men plan terrible acts. In the end, God spared Peter to continue His work and eliminated Herod. If God spares us today, we must use our lives to overcome evil with good and uplift God's people.  All-powerful God, teach us to trust in Your power over all things and all people. Help us understand that You allow circumstances we do not comprehend because Your ways are higher than ours. Moreover, open our hearts to recognize the significant provisions, blessings, and deliverance You often provide. We pray for humble, grateful hearts that use the gift of life to serve You. Encourage us to see that we are alive for the central purpose of spreading the message of Jesus and uplifting believers on their journey of faith. Please deliver us from evil people if it aligns with Your will.   Thought Questions: -       What helps you trust in God when bad things happen to good people? What are things you need to remember in such times? -       Peter immediately gathered with believers after his deliverance. Is it your natural inclination to do the same when God blesses you? -       Evil will not prevail, as seen in Herod's death. How does knowing that the war is won in Christ help you cope with evil in this world?

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. 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 the Daily Radio Bible with your host, Hunter! In today's episode, Hunter invites us to join him on a journey through the wisdom-packed pages of Proverbs chapters 1–3 and Paul's powerful letter in Romans chapter 7. Together, we reflect on life-changing lessons about wisdom, discipline, and the foundation of true knowledge—the fear of the Lord. As Hunter unpacks the struggle between our desire to do good and the reality of sinful nature, he reminds us that it is through Christ's love and resurrection that we find freedom, purpose, and unity with God. The episode wraps up with heartfelt prayers for guidance, mercy, and a reminder that no matter where we are, we are deeply loved. So grab your Bible, settle in, and let's discover what God has for us today! TODAY'S DEVOTION: He has done it all, and drawn us into his life. Paul, in Romans 7, speaks to the deep longing and inner conflict that so many of us feel. We want to do what is right, but we fail. We strive for goodness but stumble into the same old patterns. We reach for life, but find ourselves tangled in things that lead to frustration or shame. And often, we imagine that if we just tried harder—just obeyed the letter of the law with a little more grit—we could finally be the people God wants us to be. But Paul tells us plainly: the law itself, as good and holy as it is, cannot rescue us. It can show us God's standard, it can reveal where we've missed the mark, but it cannot break the power of sin within us or set us free. So what hope do we have? Paul's answer is clear: our hope is not in our own performance, but in Jesus Christ, our Lord. Listen to Paul's words: "You died to the power of the law when you died with Christ, and now you are united with the one who was raised from the dead." The work has already been done—not by your effort, but by Christ's life, death, and resurrection. He has defeated sin, death, and the grave. He was raised to new life and has swept us up into that life with him. This means that you are not striving for a freedom you don't yet possess. You have been freed, united with Christ, and caught up in the triune love of God. You are not defined by what you lack or by your failures, but by the life and love of the risen Jesus that is now yours—right now, in this day. So now, you are empowered to produce good fruit. Why? Because you are joined to Christ, grafted into his life. That changes everything. Out of this union comes real righteousness, real love, real peace, and healing—not things you have to conjure up through effort, but gifts that grow naturally as you remain in him. Let us live from this place of calm confidence and joyful assurance. Let us walk today as people radically loved by God, equipped by his Spirit, and invited to share his love with the world. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Almighty and ever loving God, you have brought us to the light of a new morning. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may walk this day in peace. Guard our steps from temptation. Shield us from the weight of fear and shame, and lead us deeper into the joy of your presence through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. O Christ, light of the nations, shine in every place where shadows dwell. Call the scattered home, heal the wounds of division, and gather all people into the communion of your grace. May the knowledge of the Lord cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Amen. And now, Lord, make my hands ready for mercy. Make my eyes quick to see the hurting, my ears open to the cry of the lonely, and my feet swift to bring good news. Let me seek to bless, not to be noticed, to serve, not to be praised, to forgive, not to hold back. For in your way is life, in your mercy is healing, and in your love is the peace this world cannot give. 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 trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever and ever. Amen.

On this May 25th, join Heather as we gather together on day 145 of our journey through the scriptures. Today's episode takes us through the grandeur and wisdom of King Solomon—his unforgettable encounter with the Queen of Sheba, the height of his wealth, and ultimately, the choices that turned his heart away from God. Our readings span 1 Kings 10–11, 2 Chronicles 9, and culminate in Romans 6, where we're reminded of the freedom found in Christ and the call to live as new creations, no longer slaves to sin. Together, let's seek the illumination of the Holy Spirit, warm our hearts by the fire of God's love, and remember: you are deeply loved. Grab your Bible and join us as Heather leads us in scripture, reflection, and prayer—right here on the Daily Radio Bible. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Well, now you are free. Did you hear Paul clearly say it? In Romans 6:22, he declares, "Now you are free." Free from the power of sin. And yet, as Paul says, you have become a slave—not to sin, but to God. United to him by the work of Christ, because of what Christ has done for us, because of the Spirit of Christ that now dwells in us, empowering us, awakening us to who we truly are in Jesus. We become a new creation, a new person, a free person, no longer a slave to sin, no longer imprisoned by our past, by those inclinations and habits that once held us so tightly. We are free. This freedom is not just a concept, but a living reality that we are called to inhabit. We can learn, perhaps slowly, day by day, to live into the truth of our freedom, to exercise our freedom to be what we now are—a person rooted in God's love, a person set apart to live for him. That is the journey and the invitation of discipleship. It begins with the truth: our union with God, this new reality accomplished by Christ and now alive within us. We are free—absolutely, eternally, irrevocably free. Free to live as God has always intended for us, in him, forever. May we see ourselves as we truly are—no longer defined by our sin, but by his glory and grace. Free to love, free to serve, free to live lives marked by the fruit of the Spirit. This is the good news. This is our call and our strength for today. That's a prayer I have for my own heart, for my family, and for you. May we embrace this new life and walk in the freedom Christ has purchased for us. 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. O 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. O 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 trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible with your host, Hunter! On this 144th day of the year, we journey through the scriptures together, exploring the rich stories and timeless wisdom found in First Kings 9, Second Chronicles 8, Psalm 136, and Romans 5. Today's readings celebrate the faithfulness of God as seen in Solomon's achievements and heartfelt prayers, the enduring love that threads through Israel's history, and the astounding grace offered to us through Jesus Christ—the second Adam. As we reflect on where we stand—in Adam or in Christ—Hunter guides us to rest in the grace and peace that comes from being placed in Christ, reminding us that nothing can separate us from the love of God. Join us for thoughtful Bible reading, a time of prayer, and encouragement for your daily walk. Let's dive into God's word and anchor our hearts in His enduring love! TODAY'S DEVOTION: Where do you stand? That's the central question that emerges as we read today's passages from Romans, reflecting on the contrast between Adam and Christ. In Adam, all humanity found its standing—marked by sin, separation, and death. But now, in Christ, everything has changed. Jesus, the second Adam, has undone what Adam did. By one act of righteousness, Christ has given us right relationship with God and new life. It's easy to forget—or maybe never fully realize—where we actually stand in God's story. Paul tells us in Romans 5:18, “Adam's one sin brought condemnation for everyone, but Christ's one act of righteousness brings a right relationship with God and new life to everyone.” And yet, so many who have called on Christ to be saved fail to see or embrace this astounding reality: we have been placed in Christ. We didn't earn this position by our own effort or strive our way into it. It's a gift. Something done for us, something to receive and rest in, not a status we have to anxiously maintain. Do you know that you stand in a place of undeserved privilege? Do you know that, by grace, you are adopted into God's family? You have been moved, not because of your own piety or performance, but by the work of Jesus. You are in him. This is where you belong. Be sure of where you stand—know it for your own soul, for your peace, and for the strength you need today. Christ has placed you in himself. You no longer stand with Adam. You stand with Jesus, the Son. Tell your soul today: you stand with Jesus. You have been brought into a place of undeserved privilege, and nothing can separate you from God's love in Christ. His faithful love endures forever. Enter into the joy, the strength, and peace of it. And as you do, allow God to share that reality with others through you. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord of heaven and earth, you have awakened us in your mercy once more. Still our anxious minds. Quiet our striving hearts, and help us to rest in the knowledge that we are held by you. May we walk in step with your spirit today, not ahead, not behind, but beside you in trust and love through Jesus Christ our lord. Amen. Oh, god of all peoples, you formed every soul in your image and breathe life into every heart. Open the eyes of the nations, soften hearts grown cold, and teach us to live as neighbors and friends. Let your spirit move in power. Renew the face of the earth and usher in your reign of peace. Amen. And now, lord, let me be a bearer of your peace where voices divide. Let me speak grace where fear takes root. Let me plant trust where the world rushes on. Let me walk with you. May I seek not to climb, but to kneel, not to win, but to love, not to grasp, but to give. For it is in emptying that we are filled, in surrender that we are strengthened, and in union with you that we find our truest joy. 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 trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Send us a textGood morning! Thank you for taking a few minutes to listen. If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comActs 11 Peter returns to Jerusalem, where Jewish believers take issue with him for associating with Gentiles. He recounts his vision of unclean animals and God's command not to call impure what He has made clean. Peter reveals how the Holy Spirit descended on the Gentiles, confirming that God has granted them the repentance that leads to life. Meanwhile, some scattered Jewish believers begin preaching to Greeks in Antioch, and many turn to the Lord. The church in Jerusalem sends Barnabas to Antioch to encourage the new saints, and he ultimately recruits Saul, working with the church there for a year. Disciples of Jesus are first called Christians in Antioch. These disciples hear of a famine in Judea and send funds for the relief of the brethren, which Barnabas and Saul deliver.  Peter introduced something new to the saints in Jerusalem, and they were not initially receptive. However, they were willing to listen as he shared how God brought salvation to the Gentiles. Change is always challenging, especially when it means acceptance of others, but humble hearts will keep open ears and learn to embrace what honors the will of God. Fortunately, this paved the way for more Jews to share the gospel with Gentiles, allowing the church to thrive and expand. Perhaps changing attitudes toward others and a willingness to broaden outreach can benefit local churches today. Ironically, Gentile Christians in Antioch sent funds to assist needy Jewish saints. A thriving fellowship emerges when brethren step beyond their comfort zones.  Compassionate God, thank You for granting us repentance that leads to life. We are unworthy of Your grace, yet we live in the peace and joy of reconciliation with You through Jesus Christ. Please open our hearts to the way You are working to reach others and prepare us to have open arms. Help us to be like Barnabas, a man full of the Holy Spirit and faith and therefore ready to work for Your cause. And like the Christians who sent funds to help their brothers, teach us how to be more generous and involved in supporting fellow believers.  Thought Questions: -       How do you remain open to God's will, even when it challenges your expectations and traditions, like when Peter accepted Gentiles?  -       If God sent you to go and encourage new saints for a year, would you be willing to do it? How can you do such work where you live now? -       New Christians sent funds to help believers they did not even know. How should you emulate that in the way you support needy Christians?

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. 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 the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, host Hunter invites us to journey deeper into the heart of God's love as we continue our year-long reading through the Bible. On this May day, we explore 2 Chronicles chapters 6 and 7—witnessing Solomon's heartfelt prayers and the awe-inspiring dedication of the temple. From there, we lift our voices with Psalm 135 in praise of God's enduring goodness and faithfulness. Finally, we reflect on Romans chapter 4, where Paul reminds us that righteousness comes by faith, not by our own works, using Abraham as our example. Hunter encourages us to see God's unconditional love in new ways, urging us to take one step at a time in trusting His goodness—even when life is uncertain. With moments of prayer and reflection woven throughout, this episode is a gentle reminder that we are loved, challenged to pass on that kindness, and invited to walk in faith today. Whether you're new to Daily Radio Bible or a longtime listener, you'll be uplifted by today's spiritual encouragement and Hunter's heartfelt prayers for you and the world. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Abraham was fully convinced of God's ability to do whatever he promised. He trusted that God loved him before and beyond anything he could have done for God. In other words, God's love comes to us first. His love is not conditioned on our belief. His love emerges from who he is, his character, his very being. It's not based on my character and who I am. The full import of God's unconditional love is seen in the life of our Lord Jesus, the one who has offered himself on behalf of the entire world. His life, his death, his resurrection declare that we are loved by God. Abraham was convinced of God's unconditional love, but that conviction didn't happen overnight. It didn't just arrive all at once without reservation. No. Abraham's conviction was learned. He was convinced as he walked with God one step after another. And these steps led him into a deeper and deeper conviction that God is good and that his love for us is faithful, even when we are unfaithful. God's love for us is not dependent on our performance. It's based and rooted in his very heart, in who he is. And who he is is seen perfectly in the face of Jesus. So let's do what Abraham did and grow in our conviction, one step at a time, one day at a time, opening our hearts to the reality of God's goodness. Perhaps daring to believe today more than you did yesterday that God's love for you is unconditioned, and it's rooted in his heart. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Merciful God, you have brought us through the night into this new day. We offer you our lives again, our hopes, our fears, our work, our rest. Keep us faithful in the little things and mindful of your presence in every moment. Let us not be led by anxiety or pride, but by your peace that passes all understanding through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Lord Jesus, you stretched wide your arms on the cross to draw all people to yourself. Draw the hurting, the hungry, the weary. Break down every wall of hostility, and build us into one family by your Spirit. Amen. And now, Lord, teach me to walk, not with fear but with faith. Where there is noise, let me be still. Where there is boasting, let me be quiet. Where there is suffering, let me kneel. Let me not crave recognition, but righteousness. Not applause, but communion. For in you, I have life. And in dying with you, I rise. 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 trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.

If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comActs 10 Cornelius, a devout Gentile centurion, receives a vision from God telling him to send for Peter. Meanwhile, Peter has a vision of a sheet filled with unclean animals and hears a voice telling him to eat. When Peter refuses, God responds, “What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy.” As Cornelius's men arrive, Peter realizes the vision signifies God's acceptance of all who fear and obey Him. Peter goes to Cornelius's house, where Cornelius recalls his vision. Peter preaches about Jesus, emphasizing that God shows no favoritism and offers salvation to all who believe. As Peter speaks, the Holy Spirit falls on the Gentiles, enabling them to speak in tongues, astonishing the Jewish believers. Peter baptizes them, declaring that they must not be refused baptism and the forgiveness of sins.  God's salvation through Jesus Christ is available to everyone, regardless of ethnicity, culture, or background. We must not allow personal bias to hinder us from sharing God's universal message with all people. Peter's example teaches the church to remove all limitations and boundaries from the gospel's reach. Cornelius illustrates that good, caring people remain lost until they hear and obey the gospel call. People must learn about Jesus and the forgiveness of sins that come through Him. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit marked a unique event, forever uniting different groups as equals in the church. Our responsibility is to demonstrate this in whom we teach and baptize, as well as whom we fellowship and serve in the kingdom. Benevolent Father, You went to great lengths to bring salvation in Jesus to Cornelius. Humble us to understand that we are Cornelius. We are Gentiles who would have no hope, regardless of our good deeds, except for the saving grace of Jesus Christ and His cleansing power. Thank You for showing no partiality and for Your willingness to welcome all who fear You and do what is right. Teach us how to be fueled by gratitude for the resurrected Christ and His grace. And please show us someone today who needs to hear that Jesus also wants to save them.  Thought Questions: -       Do you know anyone like Cornelius, who is kind and God-fearing but has not surrendered to Jesus? If so, how can you help? -       Peter was an apostle of Jesus but still had things to learn about God. What are things you are still learning about God's will for your life? -       Why was the Holy Spirit falling on Cornelius a unique event? What was the purpose, and how does that explain why this does not happen today?

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 the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode for May 22nd, 2025, your host Hunter invites you to join him on day 143 of our journey through the Bible. Together, we'll read from 1 Kings chapter 8, 2 Chronicles chapter 5, Psalm 99, and Romans chapter 3, exploring pivotal moments such as the dedication of Solomon's Temple and Paul's reflections on faith, righteousness, and grace. Hunter guides us through these passages, highlighting the incredible fulfillment of God's promises, the presence of God among His people, and the invitation to all—no matter where you're from—to walk in faith. We'll reflect on our deep need for a champion to fulfill righteousness, culminating in the good news that Christ alone has overcome sin, death, and the grave on our behalf. As always, the episode closes with a time of prayer, reflection, and a reminder of the transforming power of God's love. Whether you're listening from nearby or halfway across the world, we're so glad you're here. Let's continue this journey together—one day, one reading, and one prayer at a time! TODAY'S DEVOTION: He is our champion, our deliverer from sin and death. As we listen to the scriptures today—from the dedication of Solomon's temple to the prayerful cries of the psalmist, and the honest reckoning in Romans—we're reminded that at the heart of the story is a deep human need: we are all lawbreakers, unable to fulfill righteousness on our own. No matter how many sacrifices are offered or prayers are spoken, all fall short, and the law serves as a mirror, showing us our inability to save ourselves. But God does not leave us in that helpless place. The gospel, as Paul teaches, is that God himself has come to meet us in our unrighteousness—not to condemn, but to save. Jesus, our champion, has stepped into the darkness, into sin and even into death, taking upon himself what we could never bear or fix. In sharing our flesh and blood, he has defeated the power of death and the evil one, offering freedom to all who were enslaved by fear and shame. Through Christ, God's promise is fulfilled. The righteousness we could never achieve is given as a gift, and the faith that unites us to him draws us into his victory and life. Now, the invitation is this: to say yes, to wake up to this new reality that is ours in Christ. We do not strive to make ourselves worthy. We rest in the finished work of Jesus, receiving his mercy, walking forward in the freedom and joy he has won, and letting his life be our own. No longer do we try to earn acceptance, but we accept his love, knowing he is our champion, the fulfillment of all God's promises. That is a prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord of life, you have awakened me again to the gift of this day. You go before me, walk beside me, and dwell within me. Let me walk slowly in your presence. May I resist the hurried spirit of this world and instead breathe deep of your peace. Open my eyes to beauty, my ears to your voice, and my heart to the quiet work of grace. Help me not to strive, but to abide, not to achieve, but to receive. Today, let my words carry your kindness. My actions reflect your mercy. My thoughts be anchored in your truth, that I am yours and you are with me. 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 trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Would keeping God's Feast Days be important to Christians if they knew they would still be practicing them in the New Millenium with Jesus?  What about keeping God's Sabbath on Saturday?  What if that was still being closely honored as it is written in the 10 Commandments throughout the New Millenium- would Christians begin to honor it now, instead of falsely attributing the Sabbath to Sunday? What will Christians do when they see Jesus keeping Saturday holy in the New Millenium instead of Sunday?? We're going to be taking a look into what will be going on in the New Millenium today, with Part 1 of going through today's random turning to Ezekiel 45!

On his way to Damascus, a light from heaven stops him. He hears Jesus speaking, asking why Saul is persecuting Him. Blinded, Saul is led into the city to wait for instructions. Meanwhile, God instructs Ananias to visit Saul and restore his sight. Despite his fear, Ananias obeys. Saul learns that he will become an apostle to the Gentiles. After regaining his sight, he is immediately baptized and filled with the Holy Spirit. Saul begins to preach boldly, prompting the Jews to seek to kill him. He escapes to Jerusalem, where Barnabas vouches for him. The chapter also recounts Peter healing Aeneas and raising Tabitha from the dead, demonstrating God's power and inspiring many new believers in Jesus.  Saul's story highlights the transformative power of Jesus Christ. His conversion shows that no one is beyond the call of the gospel. God often uses individuals like Ananias to fulfill His mission. We must confront our fears and seize opportunities to share God's hope with others. It is also inspiring to see Saul immediately active in sharing his faith. Some of the greatest passion for evangelism comes from new converts. We can learn a great deal from them. Like Barnabas, we should defend and support new believers to help God's people embrace them. Lastly, Tabitha was deeply missed and cherished for her charitable spirit. We should seek to be cherished servants among God's people, known for “deeds of kindness and charity.”  Glorious Father, we praise Your patience and relentless pursuit of sinners. You humbled and restored Saul, as You have done with us. We are living testaments to Your grace and love. Teach us to live with gratitude and to obey Your call to share Jesus with others, even when it feels risky or uncertain. Give us the spirit of vigor and the voice of joy to express our faith like those who are new in Christ. Please create an opportunity today to tell someone that You are the Healer, the Forgiver, and You have the power even to raise the dead! Thought Questions: -       What does Saul's conversion tell you about God's love? Saul committed to God out of gratitude. How powerful is gratitude in driving your faith? -       Barnabas defends Saul when others are fearful. How should you be like Barnabas when someone with a troubled past comes to Christ? -       Tabitha was treasured for her charitable deeds. When you pass from this life, how do you want to be remembered by the family of God?

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 the Daily Radio Bible with your host, Hunter. Today marks Day 142 in our journey through the pages of scripture. In this episode, Hunter makes a special note to correct yesterday's reading mix-up, ensuring we're back on track with today's passages: 1 Kings 6, 2 Chronicles 3, Psalm 97, and Romans 1. Together, we'll revisit the detailed and awe-inspiring construction of Solomon's temple, reflect on the majesty and justice of God in the Psalms, and dive into the powerful opening of Paul's letter to the Romans, where the heart of the good news—how we are made right with God by faith alone—takes center stage. Amid gentle encouragement, prayer, and reminders of God's steadfast love, Hunter invites us not only to hear the Word, but to share it, live it, and allow it to transform our lives. So, settle in as we realign our hearts with the story of God's faithfulness, right here, together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: How do we make ourselves right before God? Is it by doing more, avoiding more, knowing more? All of the religions of the world will lead you down one or all of these paths. You must do. You must avoid. You must know. But none of these paths end up being any good at answering the question of how we're made right with God. In the end, they are not good news, and you know that from your own life. When we give ourselves to trying to do more and more in order to justify ourselves before God, we soon begin to ask, well, how much more and how good is good enough? And that question leads to all kinds of pride and rules. And the rules never satisfy, and they never end. In the end, they make us either liars or delusional. Either we're pretending to be rule keepers when we're not, or we're believing that we've kept all the rules, but we haven't. And those that are closest to us can clearly see the truth: we are not as loving and pure as we say we are. No, doing more is not the answer, but neither is avoiding, trying to avoid our obligations to God. Living for the self, our desires, appetites leads only to an empty life. We become owned by the very appetites that we thought would set us free. And if doing and avoiding are not the answer, neither is knowing. God is not a subject to be mastered. He is the master, and we will not really know him unless we let him master us. The good news that we're looking for, to be made right with God, is found from start to finish by faith, we're told here. And that faith is a gift. That faith was lived out in him—in the life of Jesus. His faith, his obedience, his compassion, his love is what ultimately saves us. He saves us from start to finish. Galatians 2:20 says, I am crucified with Christ. Nevertheless, I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me. And the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. And that is the good news, my friend. That is how we are made right with God. Our real life is hid with God in Christ from start to finish. Now we live by the faith of the Son of God who loved us and gave himself for us. Amen. May this be so for me, for my family, and for you. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Jesus is my shepherd. You have called me by my name into the life of the beloved. Here in the stillness, I remember that I am not alone. I belong to you and to the great communion of saints and sinners held together in your love. Remind me, Lord, that every breath is grace. Every encounter is a chance to give what I have received, mercy without measure. When I forget who I am, when I lose my way, Lead me again to still waters. Restore my soul. Renew my hope. Reroute me in the joy of simply being yours. 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 trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever and ever. Amen.

Meanwhile, Christians flee and carry the gospel with them, and the church continues to grow. Philip, a devoted teacher, brings the teachings of the kingdom to Samaria, where many believe in Jesus and are baptized. One such man, Simon, soon forfeits his salvation by trying to purchase his right to the power of the Holy Spirit. The apostle Peter urges him to repent immediately so that he may be forgiven and restored. Later, Philip is sent to an Ethiopian eunuch who is reading the book of Isaiah alone. Philip uses the scripture to teach Jesus to the eunuch, and he is promptly baptized after believing in Jesus, which leads to much rejoicing.   Comparing the characters in this chapter will help us determine who we want to become. Believing he was right, Saul opposed the disciples and sought to hinder them. In contrast, Philip was committed to openly sharing the gospel with everyone to expand the kingdom. Aim to emulate Philip in daily purpose and joy and strive to be far less like Saul, whose misguided views of godliness led him to cruel and sinful behavior. Simon believed but then chose a path of self-interest and greed, ultimately leading to bondage once again. The eunuch sought to know the truth and was baptized, rejoicing in the salvation he found in Jesus. We must rejoice and be content, blessed and saved in Christ!  Blessed Lord, thank You for showing us how the gospel touches hearts, regardless of any attempts to hinder it. Help us to be like Philip, serving as vessels to spread the good news to those around us. Protect our hearts from selfish motives and greed so that we can demonstrate Jesus to others through our actions as much as through our message. Reveal our sins to us, and we will repent and refocus on the mission with humility. We pray to be continual seekers like the eunuch while also being ready to teach other seekers we encounter along the way.   Thought Questions: -       How can you be more attentive to how God and His Spirit want to use you to share Jesus with others, like how God used Philip? -       Is self-focus and greed ever a problem for you, like it was for Simon? How do you find joy and contentment in your life in Christ? -       Philip “preached Jesus” to the eunuch, and the eunuch sought baptism. Why did he make that connection and only rejoice afterward?

He emphasizes God's promise of land to Abraham. He then discusses the jealousy of Joseph's brothers, highlighting how God protected him and led the Jews to Egypt. Stephen then recounts the story of Moses and explains how he saved the people despite their repeated obstinance. God was present and active all throughout Israel's history. Stephen notes that God is still working through the Holy Spirit, yet the Jews remain rebellious, even murdering “the Righteous One.” This infuriates the crowd, leading them to stone Stephen to death. In his final moments, Stephen sees Jesus in heaven standing next to the Father and pleads that the people's sins not be held against them.  Stephen's defense provides several meaningful application points. First, he was wise and courageous in his willingness to share the truth about God with a dangerous crowd. Confessing Jesus requires standing firm in the face of eminent danger. Second, the lengthy message recounts key figures in Israel's history. More importantly, it illustrates that God was always present with them, never limited by location or hindered by anyone. This is the God we serve, who remains active and unstoppable today. Finally, the glory of Jesus resonates through Stephen's words and character. Like Stephen, we should know God's story and emulate Jesus as we share it. He honors Christ by reciting Jesus' words on the cross, even unto his dying breath.     Great Father, Your involvement with Your people has sustained them for generations. Men and women of faith stood firm for You, even when Your own people opposed them. Help us recognize that You are with us. Open our hearts to the presence and work of the Holy Spirit. Many resist Him, some even in a misguided attempt at faith. Please guide us by Your Spirit to know and teach the truth. If defending Your Name costs our lives, grant us the courage of Stephen to emulate Jesus and die with unwavering faith, heavenly hope, and love, even for our enemies.   Thought Questions: -       God supported the faithful, especially as others opposed them. Do you believe God is with you? And how is He helping you today? -       The Jews were “resisting the Holy Spirit,” though they thought they were righteous. How do you avoid falling into such a misguided religion? -       Jesus and Stephen asked God to forgive those who murdered them. How do you demonstrate that heart of mercy to others?
