02/15/26 Experiencing God: Nothing Changes If Nothing Changes - Doug Robins by City Tribe Church

In Exodus, Chapter 39, four centuries before God leads Moses and the children of Israel out of Egyptian bondage, God manifested His presence in the life of a young Hebrew boy named Joseph who was sold into slavery, estranged from his family and had “to sing the Lord's song in a strange land”.   While Joseph's geographical placement was not of his own choosing, God was with him.  God's presence in the life of Joseph, can encourage us as we face our challenges in life.  

Today’s Bible Verse: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.” — Deuteronomy 6:5 Deuteronomy 6:5 calls us to a faith that is not divided. God doesn’t ask for a portion of our lives—He invites our whole heart, soul, and strength. This command reaches beyond feelings into daily choices, priorities, and actions.

02/08/26 Experiencing God: Faith Looks Like A Risk - Doug Robins by City Tribe Church

Have you ever watched other people's faith stories and wondered, “Why don't I experience God like that?” In this message, we talk about what it really means to experience God, not just learn about Him. It's easy to live off borrowed faith—sermons, books, testimonies—while never stepping into a living, personal relationship with Jesus ourselves. But Christianity was never meant to be a snow globe: beautiful to look at, but never entered. Through Scripture, real-life stories, and practical teaching, this sermon challenges us to stop watching from the outside and begin experiencing the Christian life firsthand. In this message, you'll discover: What it means to truly experience Jesus, not just study Him Why life change only happens when faith becomes personal How everyday obedience carries eternal impact What parts of your life today will matter for eternity? How loving God, loving people, making disciples, and walking faithfully shape an eternal legacy If you're hungry for more than routine religion—if you want your own stories of God's power, presence, and transformation—this message is for you.

This message explores the truth that we are already held in God's love. Through Scripture and reflection, listeners are invited to slow down, notice God's nearness, and experience His love as a lived reality.

Through the example of Christ in Philippians 2, we see that humility and dependence on God, not striving or self-effort, is the posture that opens us up to truly experience Him.

01/18/26 Experiencing God: The God of Marvel - Doug Robins by City Tribe Church

Have you wanted to experience God? In this section of John's Gospel, Jesus teaches the undeniable promise of God's personal presence and participation with us and in us. As he prepares his disciples for his own departure, he promises the Holy Spirit who will be our Helper, our advocate, our Comforter, our Guide, our Strength.

Vineyard Values Pt 2 - Experiencing God (Scott Stephens) 18 Jan 2026 by Pine Rivers Vineyard

If I ask you this question, “What is mercy?” What comes to mind for you? Does it connect you to the nature of God in a way that transforms your heart, how you relate to God and how you relate to others? Or is it just a nebulous word that gets said in church here […]

Richard Blackaby grew up in an “ordinary” home where his parents talked about God as if He was truly real—and where prayer wasn't a religious habit, but an ongoing relationship. In this conversation, the son of Dr. Henry Blackaby shares what it looked like to live with an expectancy that God is active and speaking, and why so many of us struggle to discern His voice—not because God is silent, but because we haven't learned to recognize Him. Along the way, Richard offers a simple but challenging reframe: we often describe our problems in terms of our limitations, when God invites us to see our circumstances through the bigger reality of who He is and what He can do.In this practical and deeply encouraging conversation, learn what it means to face a “crisis of belief,” why following Jesus often requires getting out of the boat, and how God's invitations are frequently found in everyday places—neighbors, conversations, ordinary faithfulness. And, hear the surprising story of how Experiencing God nearly never became a book. If you're a believer who wants to walk with God more attentively, this conversation will help you lift your eyes, get your heart ready, and take the next faithful step.

Simone Halpin, Kelly Brady, John Vandervelde, and Matt Marron respond to questions from Kelly and John's sermons from Jan 11, 2026

Scripture: Genesis 24+ A life that experiences God is one oriented toward God's purpose.“…you might ask, “Why should God speak to me? What am I doing in life that would make him speaking to me a reasonable thing for him to do? Are we in businesstogether in life? Or am I in business just for myself, trying to ‘use a little God' to advance my projects?” – Dallas Willard, Hearing God.+ A life that experiences God is one of faith-filled action.+ A life that experiences God is one that is growing in prayer.Psalm 127:1

In today's episode for January 7th, Hunter invites us to journey through Genesis 18-19, Psalm 3, and Luke 7, as we continue our year-long walk through the Scriptures.

Whether you're new to the Daily Radio Bible community or a longtime listener, this episode is full of heartfelt wisdom, biblical readings, and an invitation to experience God's healing presence. So grab your Bible, settle in, and let's discover together what God is saying to us today. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Are you wondering about God's plan? Maybe, like John sitting in prison, you feel forgotten or overlooked. You might have been obedient, zealous—done all that God has asked of you—yet circumstances haven't gone the way you would have hoped. Maybe you wonder, "Why isn't God showing up for me? Why isn't He bailing me out?" That's where John the Baptist found himself—hearing stories of Jesus healing Gentiles, raising the dead, and still waiting for God to act in his own life. He sends friends to Jesus and asks, "Are you the one? Are you the plan, or should we wait for someone else?" And Jesus' reply comes back: Yes, I am the plan! Just look—the blind see, lepers are healed, the deaf hear, and the good news is preached to the poor. Jesus' answer is to point to what God is doing, to the evidence of the kingdom breaking in. He says, don't turn away in disbelief. Don't believe the lie that God is holding back, that He is vindictive, petty, or unconcerned about you. That is never the truth. The truth is seen completely in the face of Jesus. God is not against us. He's not withholding. He is with us—abiding, forgiving, loving, liberating. He is healing our brokenness, opening our eyes, restoring us to new life. He is the plan for mending this broken world. He is the plan for mending your broken world, your broken heart. Don't let your circumstances turn you away from believing in Him. Remember the woman who comes to Jesus despite her shame, her reputation, her circumstances. She lets nothing stand in her way—her pride, her ego, her social standing—because her eyes are fixed on Jesus, her eyes have been opened to the truth: she is forgiven, known, loved, and embraced. In knowing this, she holds onto this truth and lives in the joy and freedom that Christ brings. May our prayer be that we will also have eyes like hers—eyes fixed on Jesus, God's plan—not looking for another, but finding everything we need in Him. May we know in Him everything there is to know about God and about who we really are. May we be set free and know His joy. That's a prayer for my own soul, for my family, and for you. 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.   Oh 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.  Oh 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 tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. 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

01/04/26 Experiencing God: The Source - Doug Robins by City Tribe Church

Do you know how to hear from God? Today, host Tina Yeager is joined by special guest Lorraine Larzabal, a seasoned worshiper, evangelist, and biblical studies graduate with over 30 years of guiding others in divine encounters. Together, they dive into the transformative topic of how to truly hear from God. Lorraine Larzabal shares her personal journey from a life-changing illness to a vibrant faith, revealing practical steps and powerful principles to help you experience God's voice in your own life. Whether you're seeking guidance, struggling with unanswered prayers, or just longing for a deeper relationship with the divine, this episode offers insightful wisdom on moving past obstacles and opening your heart to God's presence. Get ready to discover specific practices, the importance of gratitude, confession, and forgiveness, and why seeking God is about so much more than just getting answers. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that can help you flourish in your faith. Highlights from the Conversation: Hearing from God Starts with Scripture: Lorraine Larzabal shares her personal journey of seeking God during a time of crisis and how she found power in declaring healing scriptures out loud, personalized in the first person and present tense. This simple shift brought her into deep experiential encounters with God. Preparation Matters: To truly hear from God, Lorraine Larzabal recommends starting with gratitude, confession, and forgiveness. By thanking God, confessing any lingering sin, and letting go of unforgiveness, you create a heart posture that's ready to receive His voice. Relationship Over Results: The episode gently reminds us—seeking God isn't about getting specific answers or treating Him like a "genie." Instead, the real reward is connection. Tina Yeager and Lorraine Larzabal discuss why focusing on who God is, rather than what He can do for us, transforms our experience of prayer. Practical Steps to Experiencing God's Voice: Personalize your favorite scriptures—rewrite them to speak directly to God in the present moment. Keep pen and paper nearby, and ask open-ended questions like, "What do You want me to know today?"  Overcoming Doubt: Lorraine Larzabal encourages patience. If you don't hear from God immediately, don't give up! Continue spending time in the Word and in His presence—confessing, forgiving, and thanking Him. Trust that God wants to speak to you. Recommended Resource: Want to go deeper? Get Lorraine Larzabal's book, "The Declarations: Ushering You Into the Presence of God," available at thedeclarations.com and on Amazon. The book features hundreds of personalized, present-tense scriptures to guide you into intimate dialogue with the Trinity. Final Thoughts: This episode is an invitation—to set aside your agenda, seek God's face, and embrace the gift of relationship. When you focus on who He is, everything changes.
