Title: Nicodemus Comes by Night pt. 2 Text: John 3:1-2 by Steven M. Kestner, elder in training

On this Faith Friday edition of Morning Manna, Rick and Doc lead a powerful study of Psalm 23, revealing a message of faith, trust, and rest in the care of the Good Shepherd. They unpack the deeper meanings of “I shall not want,” challenging listeners to replace words of lack with words of faith and desire. Through vivid teaching on green pastures, still waters, and restored souls, the hosts emphasize God's joy in blessing His children. The discussion is a heartfelt reminder that God lovingly compels us to rest in His abundance, not strive in fear. The episode closes with Holy Communion and a call to receive God's love freely and joyfully.Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.

“I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also.” – 2 Timothy 1:5Mother's Day invites us to reflect on the deep, often quiet influence of a mother's faith. The Apostle Paul's words to Timothy reveal that sincere faith often passes from one generation to the next through the loving guidance of mothers and grandmothers. Today, we celebrate that legacy.A Mother's Work: Beyond MeasureWhen we think about the value of moms, it's usually in terms of intangible gifts—love, wisdom, compassion, and sacrifice. These are treasures that can't be priced.But what if we did try to measure the economic value of a mother's daily work?According to Salary.com, a working mother averages 54 hours a week managing her household in addition to her job. Stay-at-home moms? They often work the equivalent of 15-hour days, seven days a week. The roles include everything from chef and nurse to financial manager, event planner, and counselor.Based on these duties, a mother's annual salary would exceed $185,000—and that's before bonuses, overtime, or hazard pay. Factoring in those extras, a stay-at-home mom could easily command over $200,000 a year. And truthfully, she's worth every penny.Still, even that figure falls short of her true worth. The value of a mother's love and faithfulness can't be calculated. It's personal. It's spiritual. It's eternal.How Scripture Calls Us to Honor MothersThe Bible doesn't just acknowledge the role of mothers—it esteems it. Proverbs 31:28 paints a moving picture of a godly woman's reward:“Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.”Honoring your mother starts with your words. Tell her what she means to you. Thank her for the sacrifices she has made and the ways she has reflected God's love in your life.But biblical honor doesn't end with gratitude. It matures into care, especially as our mothers age.Honoring Through Care: A Biblical MandateIn Mark 7:10–13, Jesus rebukes the Pharisees for neglecting their duty to care for their parents, even though they claimed their resources were dedicated to God. Their so-called righteousness became a mask for selfishness. Jesus made it clear: caring for your parents is not optional; it's a direct expression of your devotion to God.In today's terms, honoring your mother might look like:Making time for her amid your busy scheduleOffering financial assistance or managing her needsIncluding her in decisions that affect the familyListening with patience and respectPraying for and with her regularlyThese acts aren't just thoughtful gestures—they reflect the heart of Scripture and offer a meaningful way to live out our faith in everyday life.Honoring a Legacy of FaithWhether it's your biological mom, your wife, a grandmother, or a spiritual mother who's poured into your life, this Sunday is your opportunity to show them they're not alone or forgotten.Let her know she's seen. Let her know she's loved. Let her know that her quiet faithfulness—the prayers whispered, the tears cried, the meals made, the lessons taught—isn't wasted. It is, in fact, shaping generations and pointing hearts toward Jesus.Because when a mother models faith, she's not just building a home—she's shaping eternity.This Mother's Day, let's rise up and call her blessed, not just with words, but with actions that honor God and her.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:Is Bitcoin something that someone should have in their portfolio? I don't necessarily know much about it, so I don't invest in it, especially since I'll be going into retirement.My husband and I have an annuity, and I'd like to know how we can make charitable donations from it.My daughter has two student loans totaling approximately $15,000, with Mohela serving as the loan servicer. With the interest deferment ending in September, I'd like to know if we can negotiate to pay off the loans at a reduced amount, or should we pay them off if we have the funds available?I am the executor of my father's estate, and I'm 67 years old. Last December, the estate planner surprised me by saying we had to take a required minimum distribution (RMD). This year, I would like the RMD to be donated to a charitable organization.

Order of Service: - Prelude - Hymn 375 - O Little Flock, Fear Not the Foe - Luke 15:1-7: Then all the tax collectors and the sinners drew near to Him to hear Him. And the Pharisees and scribes complained, saying, “This Man receives sinners and eats with them.” So He spoke this parable to them, saying: “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, “Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!' I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.” - Devotion - Prayer - Hymn 369 - O Bless the Lord, My Soul - Blessing - Postlude Service Participants: Rev. Shawn Stafford (Preacher), Gabrielle Gillespie (Organist)

“Go home to your family, and tell them everything the Lord has done for you and how merciful he has been. So the man started off to visit the ten towns of that region and began to proclaim the great things Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed at what he told them.” Mark 5:19-20

Order of Service: - Prelude - Hymn 370 - The King of Love, My Shepherd is: vv. 1 - 4 - John 10:22-30: Now it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem, and it was winter. And Jesus walked in the temple, in Solomon's porch. Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, “How long do You keep us in doubt? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.” Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father's name, they bear witness of Me. But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you. My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand. I and My Father are one.” - Devotion - Prayer - Hymn 370 - The King of Love, My Shepherd is: vv. 5, 6 - Blessing - Postlude Service Participants: Prof. Tom Rank (Preacher), Micah Smith (Organist)

1032: 1 Thessalonians 2 PT 3 Daily Devotions by Pastor Tim Dodson of Believers City Church in Menomonie, WI. Tim Dodson is the lead-pastor of Believers City Church in Menomonie, WI. These devotionals are designed to take the listener through the Bible verse-by-verse.

In this episode, I share something that's been unfolding for a long time beneath the surface… and is now ready to be spoken out loud. What started as a subtle shift in my energy became a complete rewrite of how I approach my work, how I create clients, and how I relate to the people in my field. I tell the story of a vision that was spoken over me by my friend Lisa Vandenberg—one that completely changed how I see relationships, service, and sacred timing. From that moment, I knew I could no longer operate from funnels or pipelines. What emerged instead was what I now call The Cart Relationship Map. I also share a powerful moment when I invited my Higher Self to speak directly to my dear friend Ray Edwards. What came through was not rehearsed. It wasn't polished. It was raw, real, and full of truth. A transmission, not a performance. And finally, I share something that surprised even me: a song. It's called “This Is Not A Business—This Is Devotion.” It poured through in the stillness that followed everything I had spoken. It's not content. It's a prayer. If you've ever felt called to stop striving, to stop contorting yourself to fit into what the world expects, and instead build your business from presence, from remembrance, and from the deepest truth within you… This episode is for you.

What are we truly worth?...

Colossians 2:16-23

In this sermon, Pastor Carolyn Wilson presents the Bible as a sweeping love story—a narrative of God relentlessly pursuing a relationship with humanity despite our frequent distractions and failures. She recaps how, through scripture, God seeks more than religious rituals or mere outward acts; what He truly desires is our wholehearted love and devotion. Carolyn centers her message on Jesus' affirmation of the Shema: to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. She explains that: The heart represents our deepest affections and priorities; The soul encompasses our identity and life's essence; The mind involves our thoughts and understanding, which are to be shaped by God's truth; And our strength is lived out through obedient, sacrificial action. This kind of all-in love, Carolyn notes, is intensely practical, showing up in daily habits, decisions, and a consistent priority of God above all else. She acknowledges we can't love God perfectly on our own, but the Holy Spirit helps us grow in love and faithfulness. The sermon concludes with encouragement to not just recite God's Greatest Commandment but to truly live it, discovering our deepest fulfillment in a devoted relationship with Him.
