Luke 1:26–38 For centuries, theologians have wrestled with how God could become a human being. The mystery of the incarnation—God taking on flesh—strains the limits of human comprehension.

Let this passage renew your awe of the incarnation and deepen your confidence in a God for whom nothing is impossible.

Ephesians 5:15–21 Christians often sense a gap between the life they're living and the life Scripture describes—a Spirit-empowered life marked by joy, wisdom, and self-control. The problem is rarely a lack of desire. It's a lack of understanding about what “being filled with the Spirit” actually means. From Ephesians 5:15–21, Pastor Chuck Swindoll explains Paul's command to “be filled with the Spirit”—what it is, what it is not, and what it looks like in daily life through speech, song, thankfulness, and mutual submission. Stop settling for a half-lived Christian life. Learn what it means to be controlled by the Spirit and walk each day in the fullness He provides!

1 Corinthians 1:18–2:5 The world has little patience for what it considers foolish or weak—and by that standard, a crucified Savior ranks near the bottom. The temptation to polish the gospel, soften its edges, and make it more culturally respectable is as strong today as it was in Paul's day. From 1 Corinthians 1:18–2:5, Pastor Chuck Swindoll explores Paul's resolute commitment to preach Christ crucified—not with worldly wisdom or rhetorical brilliance, but with straightforward confidence in the power of the cross to save. Refuse to be ashamed of the cross. What the world calls foolishness is the power of God—and that is more than enough.

2 Chronicles 7:12–22 What can we do for our country? We can pay taxes, vote, and obey the laws. These are worthwhile contributions, but there must be something deeper. Cancerous sin is spreading through our nation's vital organs. Every day, another family collapses from compromised morality, another business dies from a lack of ethics, another young person falls because of weakened values. The soul of a nation is only as healthy as the soul of each citizen. How can keep our nation from collapsing from within? In this special message for the United States, Pastor Chuck Swindoll draws from 2 Chronicles to prescribe four remedies—humble ourselves, pray, seek God's face, and turn from sin. These are the essentials to help our nation survive . . . and thrive.
Isaiah 53:3–7 Our culture lionizes the powerful, the aggressive, and the bold. Meekness is mistaken for weakness, and silence under pressure is seen as defeat. But centuries before the cross, Isaiah described a Servant who would be despised, rejected, and silent—and through whose wounds we would be healed. Pastor Chuck Swindoll opens Isaiah 53:3–7 to show how Jesus fulfilled the portrait of the suffering Servant—the Lamb who went to slaughter in silence, bearing our griefs and carrying our sorrows as our substitute. Find your hope in the Lamb who was slain for you. True strength is not the absence of suffering but the willingness to bear it for others.
