SCRIPTURE: Luke 1:46-55SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. A prayer of praise from the biblical Gospel of Luke, where Mary "magnifies" or glorifies God for His power, mercy, and faithfulness. The focus is on God's greatness, with Mary exalting Him for choosing her to bear the Messiah and for His promise to lift the humble and lowly while bringing down the proud and rich. And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for He has looked on the humble estate of His servant. Behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed; for He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name.” Luke 1:46-49 Mary's soul praises and magnifies God's greatness and His plan for the world through her submission, even amid her confusion. The Magnificat encourages believers to praise God and join in His work of reconciliation and restoration in all aspects of our lives. We see God as He truly is—exalted and above all. He is mighty, and His name is holy!SONG: "The Song of Mary | The Magnificat in Aramaic and English" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcJRX946AGg&list=RDEsUWG2axB3w&index=18

SCRIPTURE: Luke 1:26-38 SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. Praise and Adoration. People and Angels.Angels are a key part of the Christmas story, appearing as messengers of God. When Zechariah was ministering in the Holy Place, the angel Gabriel appeared to announce the birth of a son to Zechariah and his wife, Elizabeth (Luke 1:18-19). Once again, the angel Gabriel appears to deliver God's message in the town of Nazareth to a young virgin named Mary. "In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary." Luke 1:26-27 Gabriel greeted Mary with an unusual greeting. You are the favored one. The Lord is with you. Luke tells his readers that Mary was deeply troubled."And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.” Luke 1:30 Mary was chosen to be the mother of the promised Son. The angel told her that His name would be Jesus. He will be great, Jesus, the Son of the Most High. Mary's response to the God's messenger is an example for all of us today. "And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her." Luke 1:38 SONG: "Come Thou Long Expected Jesus" - https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=ez6QPDpgzXI

Psalm 100:1-2 The psalmist calls for “all the earth” to come before the Great King. The nations must recognize that the Lord is God through His grace and blessings, which sustain His people's existence.

SCRIPTURE: Revelation 1:1-8SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. The book of Revelation starts with a greeting and a blessing that blend elements of prayer and doxology. These verses strongly praise Jesus Christ (verses 5-6), and verse 7 offers a prophetic statement about His second coming. "John to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne." Revelation 1:4 The apostle John (the disciple Jesus loved) is addressing actual, historical churches. He speaks to them in the same way as the New Testament letters. These seven churches represent those from every era since the first century and show common patterns of obedience and disobedience. "Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. So, it is to be. Amen."

SCRIPTURE: Jude 1:20-25 SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. A short letter at the end of the New Testament was written by Jude, the half-brother of Jesus, to early Christian believers. Jude finishes this brief epistle with a powerful benediction. "But you, dear friends, must build each other up in your most holy faith, pray in the power of the Holy Spirit, and await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will bring you eternal life. In this way, you will keep yourselves safe in God's love." Jude 1:20-21 This greeting highlights Jude's personal message and his desire for these believers to strengthen their spiritual walk with God. He encourages them to grow in their faith—praying in the Holy Spirit, remaining in God's love, and eagerly awaiting Jesus's mercy. Jude urges us to persevere, and he encourages his readers to keep the hope of the Lord in sight. We have only a short time to wait before we see Jesus, so we must stay faithful to Him. "Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen." Jude 1:24-25 SONG: "Come Thou Fount" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKOoeTbjSeI&list=RDXKOoeTbjSeI&start_radio=1

SCRIPTURE: James 5:13-18 SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. The Lord encourages us to pray for others and to dedicate time to pray for those who are hurting, struggling, or feeling discouraged. We can thank the Lord for the victories, gifts, and spiritual blessings in each other's lives. We are meant to support one another. Pray for each other. Celebrate and rejoice together. "Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise." James 5:13 James shares this: “The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” What a wonderful privilege! Effective prayer is characterized by earnestness, fervor, and energy to bring about results, as shown in the following verses' case study. "Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth. Then he prayed again, and heaven gave rain, and the earth bore its fruit." James 5:17-18Practice to become a powerful prayer person: · Pray with others. · Pray with fervency. · Pray with faith.

SCRIPTURE: 2 Thessalonians 1:3-12 SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. The Apostle Paul traveled across Asia Minor and into Europe on three main missionary journeys. During his second trip (Acts 16:23-20:38), he visited Thessalonica and Corinth. The first epistles Paul ever wrote were those to the church he had established in Thessalonica, Macedonia. These were written from Corinth (Acts 18:1-18), shortly after Paul had left Thessalonica. "Dear brothers and sisters, we can't help but thank God for you, because your faith is flourishing and your love for one another is growing. We proudly tell God's other churches about your endurance and faithfulness in all the persecutions and hardships you are suffering." 1 Thessalonians 1:3-4 Paul had previously been concerned about their faith and love for each other. In this second letter, he praises them for their growing faith and the increasing love they share. Paul also told others about their faithful perseverance through hardship, suffering, and persecution. When we examine early Church history, we gain a clearer understanding. What did believers in Jerusalem and Judea experience after Jesus Christ ascended to heaven? The Jewish religious leaders did not want “The Way” to spread and grow. A man named Saul persecuted them, having some arrested and thrown into prison. This man became Paul after his conversion on the road to Damascus. He personally knew that the church grew during persecution, which makes it even more remarkable. "So, we keep on praying for you, asking our God to enable you to live a life worthy of His call. May He give you the power to accomplish all the good things your faith prompts you to do." 2 Thessalonians 1:11 Paul and his companions prayed that the Thessalonians would continue to be purified through their trials rather than stray from the truth. Suffering and persecution can be a great blessing from God and can bring much glory to our Lord Jesus Christ, both now and in the future.SONG: "My Prayer for You" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hj_0pvIGkks&list=RDhj_0pvIGkks&start_radio=1

SCRIPTURE: Colossians 1:3-4, 9-14 SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. In this lesson, we explore the book of Colossians and review another prayer written by Paul. Once again, he writes this letter from prison in Rome. One unique aspect of his prayer for the believers in Colossae is that he did not establish the church there. Instead, a man named Epaphras likely visited Ephesus, where he heard the Gospel message of Jesus Christ and received the gift of salvation. Epaphras then returned to his hometown, Colossae, and started sharing the good news with his friends and fellow citizens. Later, Epaphras visited Rome and reported to Paul about the believers' growth in Colossae. This letter serves as an example for believers to pray for one another. "For we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and your love for all of God's people … So, we have not stopped praying for you since we first heard about you." Colossians 1:4, 9 Two essential ingredients for knowledge are a divine measure of wisdom and understanding. How you live will honor the Lord's name and please Him. God's Word transforms lives. "Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better." Colossians 1:10 As believers, we can pray for one another to grow in the knowledge of God and to be filled with the strength of the Lord. It is divine power and strength that enable us to stand against the powers of the dark world (Eph. 6:12).

SCRIPTURE: Philippians 4:14-18SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where we provide additional resources to support your Walk with God. Paul's heart rejoices, and he expresses his gratitude. Epaphroditus and others delivered the gift from the Philippians to Paul while he was imprisoned in Rome. They recognized his suffering—awaiting trial before Nero—and wished to demonstrate their care and concern for him. "Yet it was good of you to share in my troubles." Philippians 4:14As their spiritual leader, Paul aims to assist them in developing the “grace of giving.” He uses a business term here—this gift is credited to your account. When they gave a gift to Paul, they gave it to the Lord and His work. "They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God." Philippians 4:18bIn the Old Testament, various types of sacrifices—incense, grain offerings, and animal sacrifices—were presented to God that pleased and were acceptable to Him. Sacrifices were also given in the New Testament, with the greatest being Christ's offering of Himself for the sins of all mankind. "Walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God." Ephesians 5:2 SONG: "Offering" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vA6rDvY7dUPLEASE NOTE: This episode, "A Fragrant Offering" is a replay from our special February 19, 2025 podcast - Thanks for listening! - Walt & Brenda

Should Christians date or marry non-believers? This comprehensive guide explores what the Bible says about interfaith relationships and mixed marriages. Discover God's original design for marriage as a reflection of Christ's relationship with the church and why this matters for Christian dating.Learn the key differences between Old Testament and New Testament teachings on marrying unbelievers. The Old Testament clearly warned against mixed marriages, using examples like Solomon whose wives turned his heart from God. The New Testament takes a more nuanced approach, emphasizing making decisions in the Lord while not explicitly forbidding such relationships.Explore the three common outcomes of mixed marriages: drift (believer moves away from faith), rift (growing tension between spouses), or gift (both come to faith). Get practical advice for Christians already in mixed marriages, including how to love unconditionally, invite gently to faith, and share positively about your relationship with God.This biblical perspective addresses common questions about being unequally yoked, dating non-Christians, interfaith marriage challenges, and how to navigate relationship decisions as a believer. Whether you're single, dating, or married to a non-believer, discover how to align your relationships with God's design while understanding His heart of love and protection behind biblical relationship guidance.

SCRIPTURE: Philippians 1:3-11SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. In his letter to the believers in Philippi, Paul shares that he prays for them with joy and a grateful heart. He recognizes that they have been partners in the gospel ministry. "I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all, making my prayer with joy, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now." Philippians 1:3-4 Paul assures them that it is God's purpose to do a good work in their lives, and His work is meant to shape believers into the image of Jesus Christ. This is God's work of grace in every believer, and He will complete His work of grace! Paul's prayer is for their love to grow in knowledge and discernment. This will develop the righteous character of Jesus Christ in our lives and bring great glory and praise to God!"So that you may be … filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God."

SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 1:15-23 SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. Paul boldly shared the Gospel of Jesus and traveled extensively during his ministry. He now writes to the believers in Ephesus from a prison in Rome. He assures the Ephesians that he always remembers them in his prayers—both with gratitude and intercession."For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God's people, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers." Ephesians 1:15-16 Paul received news that their faith and love continued to grow. He tells them he prays that God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, will give them spiritual wisdom and insight.Paul wants them to understand the incredible power of God. Divine power was clearly shown in Jesus Christ's resurrection and His exaltation to the position of authority—He sits at the right hand of His Heavenly Father. Because of Christ, the Church is made whole and complete."I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe in Him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated Him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms."

SCRIPTURE: Acts 4:1-31 SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. In Acts 3 and 4, Luke describes Peter's bold testimony for Jesus after he heals a crippled man at the Beautiful Gate. That afternoon at the temple, thousands of people heard the message and believed in the name of Jesus. Peter and John were arrested and kept in prison overnight before being brought before the Sanhedrin early the next morning. "They were teaching the people and proclaiming the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. And they arrested them and put them in custody until the next day, for it was already evening. But many of those who had heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to about five thousand." Acts 4:2-4 As Peter addressed the religious leaders, he was filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke truth. Peter experiences a special moment of inspiration that clearly highlights the person of Jesus Christ and the work of God's Spirit. The Sanhedrin warned Peter and John “not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.” But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge, for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard.” Acts 4:19-20The church's response to the apostles' release was an immediate outpouring of praise and prayer. Most importantly, these early Christians were not praying for relief from oppression but for the ability "to speak Your word with great boldness" amid persecution and for God to act with mighty power. The focus of these new believers was on spreading God's word and glorifying Christ's name. Luke clearly made sure to include this prayer so that it can serve as a pattern for us to follow in our own prayers. "But before all this, they will lay hands on you and persecute you. They will deliver you to synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors, all because of my name. But make up your mind not to worry beforehand about how you will defend yourselves. For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict." Luke 21:12-15 SONG: "I Speak Jesus" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcmqSfr1ENY&list=RDPcmqSfr1ENY&start_radio=1

SCRIPTURE: Acts 3:1-16 SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. Reading in the book of Acts, just before Jesus ascended into heaven, He spoke these words: “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:8) His disciples and new followers of the Way have remained in Jerusalem, teaching, sharing fellowship with each other, and praying together. "Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple that is called the Beautiful Gate to ask alms of those entering the temple." Acts 3:1-2 Peter and John were leading the new group of believers in Jerusalem. These men led by example. The early Jewish Christians continued to follow their former habits of worship in Jerusalem. The lame man had been in his condition for over 40 years (4:22). Moreover, he had to be carried by others. It was clearly a hopeless case. Almost everyone in Jerusalem would have known this beggar since he sat at an entrance to the temple for a long time. "And leaping up, he stood and began to walk, and entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God." Acts 3:8 Peter testified to the power and presence of God's Spirit working in a new way in people's lives through Jesus. Now, he proclaims the power and authority of Jesus' name, by which His disciples were able to continue his ministry on earth.SONG: "Made for More" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ov9Ls4npIrc&list=RDGJS31tXJJMY&index=3

Have you ever truly grasped the immense power and sacred promises embedded within the Priesthood? This video unlocks the profound truths of Doctrine & Covenants 84! Summary: In this powerful exploration, we delve into D&C 84, a foundational revelation given to elders returning from their missions, revealing the grand scope of the Restoration. It's not just about restoring the Gospel, Priesthood, or Church, but ultimately about the restoration of God's people to a right relationship with Him. This process is intrinsically linked to the gathering of Saints to Zion and the building of Temples, where God's glory can fill His house. The video dissects the dual nature of the Priesthood: the Lesser (Aaronic) Priesthood, which prepares us through the preparatory gospel and baptism of repentance, and the Greater (Melchizedek) Priesthood, which holds the "key of the knowledge of God" and the power to manifest "the power of godliness". It's within the temple that this power of godliness is most fully made manifest, making ordinances effective for our salvation. A central theme is the Oath and Covenant of the Priesthood, emphasizing the sacred promises made by both God and man. Discover God's unbreakable oath to bless those who worthily receive the Priesthood, promising them sanctification, renewed bodies, and becoming heirs of "all that my Father hath". In return, man's covenant involves receiving the Priesthood, magnifying callings, hearkening to words of eternal life, and living by every word of God. The video also warns against treating God's word lightly, which can lead to spiritual darkness and bondage, but offers the powerful remedy of repentance and remembering the new covenant. Ultimately, living these principles makes us friends of Christ and enables signs to follow believers, confirming the transformative power of the Priesthood in preparing us for celestial glory.
