Podcasts about faith in god

December 25 2025 Thursday Who Jesus Made You To Be / Week 06 Faith And Love In Christ Jesus Our Lord #findoutwhoyouare My Vision My vision is to teach the world Who They Are In Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior! To Teach them what the Bible says about them and who they have been made to be in the promises of God's Word. This changed my life years ago and completely transformed me from a person full of doubt, fear and unbelief to a strong confident Christian that knows I can do anything through Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. And I'm determined to teach the world what God has taught and commissioned me to teach and that is His Word.  That commission takes me to jails and detention centers weekly along with other open doors at many churches and ministries that are wanting to teach these important truths to the world. My podcast goes out 6 days a week to help the people I am ministering to grow in the truths that God has taught me for many years now. This podcast is free to all that want to listen and grow strong in who God has made them to be in Christ Jesus their Lord and Savior. My Prayers For The World Ephesians 1:15-23 NLT  'Ever since I first heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for God's people everywhere, I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe 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. Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself.'  Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT 'When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.'

Faith can be found in many ways, but it never fails to make drastic changes in someone's life.  That was the story Reverend Russell Levenson set out to tell in his latest book, Witness to Belief: Conversations on Faith and Meaning, which describes how faith entered and impacted the lives of 12 of America's most remarkable individuals, from world-renowned scientists like Jane Goodall to television broadcasters like Brit Hume.  Reverend Levenson shares some of the most notable encounters he had while writing the book and how his own faith in God helped guide him through some of the darkest moments of his life.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. And Merry Christmas to you all. Our text today is Judges 18:11-20. So 600 men of the tribe of Dan, armed with weapons of war, set out from Zorah and Eshtaol, and went up and encamped at Kiriath-jearim in Judah. On this account that place is called Mahaneh-dan to this day; behold, it is west of Kiriath-jearim. And they passed on from there to the hill country of Ephraim, and came to the house of Micah. Then the five men who had gone to scout out the country of Laish said to their brothers, "Do you know that in these houses there are an ephod, household gods, a carved image, and a metal image? Now therefore consider what you will do." And they turned aside there and came to the house of the young Levite, at the home of Micah, and asked him about his welfare. Now the 600 men of the Danites, armed with their weapons of war, stood by the entrance of the gate. And the five men who had gone to scout out the land went up and entered and took the carved image, the ephod, the household gods, and the metal image, while the priest stood by the entrance of the gate with the 600 men armed with weapons of war. And when these went into Micah's house and took the carved image, the ephod, the household gods, and the metal image, the priest said to them, "What are you doing?" And they said to him, "Keep quiet; put your hand on your mouth and come with us and be to us a father and a priest. Is it better for you to be priest to the house of one man, or to be priest to a tribe and clan in Israel?" And the priest's heart was glad. He took the ephod and the household gods and the carved image and went along with the people. — Judges 18:11-20 The Danites raid Micah's house—not for gold, not for land, but for religion. They take his idols, his ephod, and even his priest. They want everything that looks spiritual—but none of what demands surrender. This is the heart of false faith. It wants the blessing of belief without the burden of obedience. They want a god they can move, not one who moves them. They want a priest who blesses, not one who confronts. They want the look of religion without the Lord of righteousness. It's the same impulse alive today. We still crave the symbols of faith without submitting to it. We want a baby christened—but not a child discipled. We want a church wedding—but not a marriage that honors God. We want a pastor to conduct our funeral—but not a life spent following Christ. We want faith that makes us feel covered—but never changed. This is why false religion is so attractive: it offers comfort without conviction, community without accountability, and symbols without sanctification. It gives you everything except transformation. The Danites carried off the priest and the idols, thinking they'd secured God's favor. But they weren't following God—they were franchising a fake religion. Don't turn faith in God into a performance of externals. Don't settle for "religious moments" in place of regular obedience. God doesn't want your religious props and symbols; he wants all of you. He is here not to tag along but to transform you. ASK THIS: Where have you settled for symbols instead of surrender? Do you display faith publicly but resist obedience privately? What modern "idols" have you borrowed to make faith feel easier? How can you move from religious performance to real pursuit of God this week? DO THIS: Ask God to expose any area where you've kept religion but lost relationship. Read 2 Timothy 3:5: "Having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power." Replace outward habits with inward devotion—prayer, confession, and obedience. Live today as if God's presence, not your performance, is what defines your faith. PRAY THIS: Lord, save me from the trap of empty religion. I don't want symbols of faith; I want surrender. Strip away anything that looks spiritual but keeps me from true obedience to You. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Christ Be Magnified."

In this Bible study we explore a controversial subject of both the trinity and the origins of mankind. In it we see what the Bible says about mankind and what it means to be a son of God. We seek to find the unique characteristics of our relatives with God by going back to our origins. This Bible will help you make a critical connection about your faith in God and how that relationship impacts on your everyday life.LoveWalk is online at:https://lovewalk.substack.comHttps;;//lovewalk.gumroad.comSocial MediaYoutube, Pinterest and TikTok:lovewalkfellowship

As modern schools became bastions of compliance for secular ideology, the home education movement in Alberta grew. Wanting to preserve their faith from erosion, many parents chose to escape schooling, entrusting dedicated home education providers to support their programs, as parents believed these providers held a common objective of faith in God. However, with home education being funded in Alberta, the character of home education began to transform into being more of an industry than a ministry as nearly every school began providing for home education with the intent of increasing cash flow. Along with the increasing number of home education providers came the natural advancement of public curriculum. Taking advantage of parental ignorance and its associated fears, the normalization of secular programming started to win the day as many of the formerly dedicated faith-based providers began to offer government programs. The two primary motivations for doing so should be obvious. The first is that attracting students who believed in the need for government programs meant more money. The second reason, which often escapes parental notice, is that increasing public programming resulted in more funding. It is by far in the best financial interest of schools to provide increasing amounts of secular public programming. Knowing this should cause us to question why the government would fund its secular programming at a higher level than traditional Christian programming. The answer should be obvious: it is the advancement of secular ideology in direct opposition to faith-based programming. Exposing that schools have always had a hidden agenda of compliance toward something and that modern day schools aim to instill compliance within a Godless secular society, begs us to question why any home education board or parent would want to bring that ideology home. If parents are keeping their children home to assure compliance with God's will, why would any believer, whether board or school, want to use curricular programs in direct opposition to that goal? With the advent of the normalization of school programs in the home, the home education movement became corrupted by its own money-driven motivation and drifted to advancing another form of compliance: that of normalizing, accepting, even Christianizing public secular programs in opposition to advancing parental authority and freedom. Parents need to beware of being drawn in the opposite direction of their original motivation of obeying God. https://eu-wp-media.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2025/11/9-Parental-Motivation.mp3

Guiding Question How can we cultivate true humility in our lives to experience God's peace, grace, and blessing, especially when faced with the pressures of having things “our way”? Summary This sermon explores the struggle of pride and self-will, highlighting how trying to have life “our way” leads to weariness, conflict, and emptiness. It presents the biblical principle of humility as a solution, focusing on Peter's teaching in 1 Peter 5:5-7. The message unfolds the three-fold process for developing humility: bowing under God's mighty hand, resting by casting our anxieties on Him, and expecting God's blessing at the proper time. Through this process, believers learn to surrender control, trust God's timing, and live in harmony with others and the Holy Spirit, leading to spiritual growth and unity. Outline: The Problem of Pride and Self-Will The weariness of insisting on “my way” How pride causes tension in personal and church relationships The danger of a competitive, self-focused mindset Peter's Call to Humility (1 Peter 5:5-7) Clothe yourself with humility of mind Humility as cooperating with God's will, not pushing our own The Three-Fold Process of Humility Bow: Submit your will to God's plan and purpose Rest: Cast all anxieties and worries on God because He cares Expect: Trust in God's perfect timing for blessing and exaltation Living the Process The struggle with “what if” fears after deciding to humble ourselves God's care and desire for us to respond rightly The importance of patience and faith in God's “proper time” Illustration of the man who found someone to worry for him (God) Encouragement and Invitation God's promise to exalt those who humble themselves A call to surrender and experience true rest Prayer for unity and love within the church Key Takeaways Pride and insisting on having things “our way” leads to conflict, weariness, and spiritual emptiness. True humility involves a deliberate process: bowing our will to God, resting in His care by casting anxieties on Him, and expecting blessing at His appointed time. God cares deeply about our struggles and wants us to respond rightly, even when life is difficult. Trusting God's timing requires faith and patience; blessings and changes may take time to appear. Humility fosters harmony in personal relationships and within the church, reflecting Christ's character. Casting our worries on God frees us from burdens and empowers us to live peaceably and faithfully. Scriptural References 1 Peter 5:5-7 — The core passage teaching humility: bowing under God's mighty hand, casting anxieties on Him, and trusting His care. James 4:6 — “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” (Implied in the sermon's theme) Philippians 2:3-4 — Valuing others above ourselves, putting others' needs before our own (supporting the humility and unity message) Matthew 11:28-30 — Jesus invites the weary to find rest in Him, echoing the rest theme. Proverbs 3:5-6 — Trust in the Lord and submit to His way, supporting the bowing process. Recorded 11/23/80

Something extraordinary is unfolding in Israel: the return of a spirit many thought existed only in ancient history. The Maccabee Revolution is alive again, and it is shaping a stronger, prouder, more unified Jewish people.What gave the Maccabees their power in the Chanukah story was not military strategy; it was absolute faith in God and the courage to act. That same combination is exactly what defines Israel today, as the Jewish people once again confront darkness with light.Do not miss understanding how this is playing out today in modern Israel, the third Jewish commonwealth.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

December 22 2025 Monday Who Jesus Made You To Be / Week 06 Risen In Him #findoutwhoyouare My Vision My vision is to teach the world Who They Are In Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior! To Teach them what the Bible says about them and who they have been made to be in the promises of God's Word. This changed my life years ago and completely transformed me from a person full of doubt, fear and unbelief to a strong confident Christian that knows I can do anything through Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. And I'm determined to teach the world what God has taught and commissioned me to teach and that is His Word.  That commission takes me to jails and detention centers weekly along with other open doors at many churches and ministries that are wanting to teach these important truths to the world. My podcast goes out 6 days a week to help the people I am ministering to grow in the truths that God has taught me for many years now. This podcast is free to all that want to listen and grow strong in who God has made them to be in Christ Jesus their Lord and Savior. My Prayers For The World Ephesians 1:15-23 NLT  'Ever since I first heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for God's people everywhere, I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe 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. Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself.'  Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT 'When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.'

UFC fighter Melissa Croden reminds us that with faith in God and trust in ourselves, anything is possible.

In the quiet of a humble manger, hope arrived not as a concept, but as a person—Jesus Christ. What does it mean to live with true hope today? In Luke 2, we meet a man named Simeon, a man whose life was defined by his hopeful waiting and deep faith in God's promises. How can Simeon's example guide us to experience genuine hope?The Bible reminds us that hope isn't wishful thinking. It's the Greek word "elpis," meaning confident expectation. Simeon was a living testimony of this kind of hope. Waiting for decades, he clung to God's promise that he would see the Messiah before he died. His story teaches us three essential practices for a life filled with hope:1. **Learning to Wait Well:** Simeon waited faithfully for decades without wavering, rooted in God's promises. Isaiah 40:31 encourages us that those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength.2. **Led by the Holy Spirit:** Simeon's sensitivity to the Holy Spirit guided him to recognize Jesus as the Messiah. We, too, must quiet the world's noise and seek guidance from the Spirit (Ephesians 1:13, Ephesians 5:18).3. **Satisfied in Christ, Not Circumstances:** Simeon's peace came not from his life's circumstances changing, but from holding the promised Savior. Are we drawn to find our satisfaction in Jesus alone?“At 2Rivers, our mission is to help you become a passionate follower of Jesus so you can experience the life He intended for you and encourage others to do the same.”Stay connected and deepen your walk with Christ.

The Suffering of the Apostle Paul      The apostle Paul's ministry was marked by unrelenting hardship, yet God used these very trials as a means of shaping his character and magnifying His glory. In recounting his experiences to the Corinthians, Paul detailed the many afflictions he endured: imprisonments, countless beatings, stoning, shipwrecks, exposure to danger, hunger, thirst, sleepless nights, and the daily pressure of concern for the churches (2 Cor 11:23–28). Such a catalog of suffering would have crushed many, but Paul recognized that his hardships were not wasted. Rather than viewing his trials as setbacks, he understood them as instruments of God's providence, divinely appointed means through which his faith was refined and his ministry authenticated. His endurance in these circumstances demonstrated that his message was not driven by human strength or ambition but by the power of God working through a frail but faithful servant. These sufferings kept him humble, dependent, and keenly aware that the surpassing greatness of the gospel treasure was carried in “earthen vessels” (2 Cor 4:7).      Even more, Paul interpreted his sufferings as opportunities to display Christ's strength in his own weakness. When he pleaded for relief from his “thorn in the flesh,” the Lord answered, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness” (2 Cor 12:9). Paul therefore embraced his afflictions, declaring, “Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me” (2 Cor 12:9–10). This paradoxical perspective enabled him to rejoice even in chains, as he assured the Philippians that his imprisonment had actually served to advance the gospel by emboldening others to preach Christ without fear (Phil 1:12–14). For Paul, trials were not obstacles but opportunities, occasions for God's grace to shine through human frailty and for the gospel to reach further than ease and comfort ever could. His life exemplifies the truth that spiritual maturity and that God's power is most clearly displayed when His servants, emptied of self, depend wholly on Him. The Suffering of the Saints Mentioned in Hebrews 11      The writer of Hebrews speaks of a “cloud of witnesses” who testify through their lives that faith can endure under the most severe trials (Heb 11:35–38). These men and women of old faced unimaginable hardships, including mocking, flogging, chains, imprisonment, and even violent death, yet they refused to abandon their trust in God. Some, like Jeremiah, were beaten and confined in stocks (Jer 20:2), while others, such as Daniel and his companions, were threatened with fiery furnaces and lions' dens but held firm to their convictions (Dan 3:16–18; 6:10). Tradition also recalls prophets who were sawn in two or killed with the sword, giving their lives rather than compromise their loyalty to Yahweh. What unites these witnesses is not the uniformity of their circumstances but the constancy of their faith. Though their earthly stories often ended in suffering rather than triumph, their lives bear permanent testimony to the sustaining power of God's promises. They form a great gallery of the faithful whose examples surround and encourage believers to run with endurance the race set before them (Heb 12:1).      Though their faith was tested to its limits, these saints looked beyond their temporal struggles and fixed their gaze on God's eternal reward. They lived as pilgrims and strangers on the earth, confessing that they sought a better country, that is, a heavenly one, prepared by God Himself (Heb 11:13–16). Their perspective was not limited to deliverance in this life but extended to resurrection and future glory. Women, like the widow of Zarephath and the Shunammite woman, received back their dead by resurrection (1 Kgs 17:22–23; 2 Kgs 4:35–37), yet others accepted death rather than deny the hope of “a better resurrection” (Heb 11:35). This eschatological outlook sustained them through unimaginable suffering, for they knew that God's approval and eternal inheritance outweighed every earthly loss. Their faith was not naive optimism but a settled confidence in the character and promises of God, who “is a rewarder of those who seek Him” (Heb 11:6). In this way, their testimony continues to inspire believers today to endure hardship, remembering that the path of faith often winds through suffering, but it ultimately leads to the eternal presence and reward of God. When Believers Fail to Live by Faith      There are examples in the Bible where mature believers struggled to maintain faith during intense trials. In Numbers, Moses became overwhelmed with his leadership and expressed despair, saying, “I alone am not able to carry all this people, because it is too burdensome for me. So if You are going to deal thus with me, please kill me at once” (Num 11:14-15a). Similarly, Elijah, after his triumph on Mount Carmel, fled from Jezebel and asked God to let him die because he felt overwhelmed and alone. Elijah said, “It is enough; now, O LORD, take my life, for I am not better than my fathers” (1 Ki 19:4).      These instances highlight the very human responses of exhaustion, fear, and despair in some of God's greatest servants. They remind us that enduring trials is difficult and that even the most faithful can struggle to keep perspective in the face of overwhelming circumstances. However, these stories also show God's compassion and provision. God did not condemn Moses or Elijah for their despair; instead, He provided for their needs, reassured them, and continued to work through them. God's response to their struggles illustrates His understanding of human frailty and His willingness to sustain His people even when their faith falters. In a way, these moments of struggle also contribute to their spiritual growth, as God uses these low points to teach them, recalibrate their thinking to focus on His power and promises, and prepare them for the next steps in their journeys.      Lastly, we cannot prevent the difficulties of life that come our way, but we can respond to them in faith, trusting God and His Word to guide and strengthen us. We know that “God causes all things to work together for good to those who love Him, to those who are called according to His purpose” (Rom 8:28). Whatever happens to us, we must fight the urge to complain, for if we start that, it becomes increasingly difficult to turn back. Complaining is not a problem solving device, and Scripture tells us to “Do all things without complaining or arguing” (Phil 2:14; cf., 1 Pet 4:9). As difficult as it may be, we must chose a faith response to “Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; and in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus” (1 Th 5:16-18). When emotions rise, faith must rise even higher, for it is only through faith in God and His Word that growth occurs. Accept God's Trials.      Paul wrote, “we exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope” (Rom 5:3-4). James said, “Consider it a great joy, my brothers, whenever you experience various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. But endurance must do its complete work, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing” (Jam 1:2-4 CSB). The Lord uses the fire of trials to burn away the dross of our weak character and to refine those golden qualities consistent with His character. The growing believer learns to praise God in and for the trials, knowing He uses them to strengthen our faith and develop us into spiritually mature Christians. Trials can make us bitter or better, depending on how we respond to them. In the right conditions, time and pressure can shape a Christian much as it shapes carbon into a diamond. Wiersbe states: "The greatest judgment God could bring to a believer would be to let him alone, let him have his own way. Because God loves us, He “prunes” us and encourages us to bear more fruit for His glory. If the branches could speak, they would confess that the pruning process hurts; but they would also rejoice that they will be able to produce more and better fruit."[1]      The Lord wants His child to have strength of character, steel in the soul, and not timidity. He leads the Christian into situations and hardships that resist comfort and develop spiritual muscle. He does not hesitate to place them in situations that lie beyond their natural strength, for only in being stretched to face the humanly impossible does the believer learn to trust in the Lord, gain confidence, and discover that divine power is made perfect in weakness.      God uses trials, suffering, and hardships as His chosen instruments to shape, strengthen, and prepare those He intends to use. Rather than shielding His servants from pain, He hammers, molds, and bends them—never breaking them but transforming them into vessels fit for His highest purposes. For the Christian, then, suffering is not meaningless. It is God's tool of refinement, His instrument for shaping souls into vessels of honor. The fires that seem to consume us are in fact controlled flames in the hand of a wise and loving Father. The Christian who learns to see trial as part of God's gracious purpose can echo Paul's triumphant words: “We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing… always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body” (2 Cor 4:8–10).      From a biblical perspective, God uses trials as a means to shape us into the people He wants us to be because He loves us and desires what is best for us. He wants us to mature, and life's difficulties are part of the process. We must walk by faith and choose to “count it all joy” (Jam 1:2) because we know that the testing of our faith will lead to spiritual maturity if we yield to the Lord (Jam 1:3–4). This passage encourages believers to view trials as opportunities for growth. Where there is positive volition and a faith response, trials become a means to strengthen faith, leading to perseverance. As perseverance develops, it results in spiritual maturity. Steven R.

For those of us who are personally acquainted with the Savior who was born that first Christmas day, Christmas holds particular significance. However, we’ve romanticized the story of Christmas to the place that the manger scene and the people involved seem like actors in a play. We rarely stop to think that they were real people, in anything but a romantic setting. That's why I’d like to bring a little reality to the Christmas story. I want to talk about the most blessed woman who ever lived. And I want to focus on the heart of Mary. What was it about this lady that qualified her for this incredible privilege of bearing the Savior of the world? What was in her heart? Let me begin by pointing out that nowhere in Scripture are we given any indication that Mary is to be worshipped. If she were here, I think Mary would be the first to tell us that she was just a woman, a very simple young lady, chosen by God for a special purpose. But like all of the rest of mankind, she was born of Adam’s race—born according to man—and she inherited the same sin nature that all of us have. When I speak of Mary’s heart, I’m not elevating her to some divine place of sinless perfection. We'd have a hard time relating to her if that were true. But in fact, it is because Mary was just like us—a  regular lady—that we can look at her heart and can identify with her and learn from her. Try to erase all those images of Mary with a halo over her head, and see instead a lady with a wash bucket and children, a small, poor home, with few luxuries or conveniences, and a very special heart. Though Mary came from the line of David, she was a humble lady from a very small, insignificant town, Nazareth. We don’t know anything about her parents, except that they must have been godly people because Mary had a very good knowledge of Old Testament Scripture. We begin to get an idea of the heart of Mary when we think about Gabriel’s announcement to her that she had been chosen to bear the Messiah. Let’s look at that passage in Luke 1:28-38: Gabriel said to Mary: “Do not be afraid, Mary; for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb, and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David; and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and his kingdom will have no end.” And Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I am a virgin?” And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for that reason the holy offspring shall be called the Son of God. And behold, even your relative Elizabeth has also conceived a son in her old age; and she who was called barren is now in her sixth month. For nothing will be impossible with God.” And Mary said, “Behold the bondslave of the Lord; be it done to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her (Luke 1:28-38). Certainly, Scripture makes it clear time and again that Mary was then a virgin and remained a virgin until after the birth of Jesus. Not many people who will be celebrating Christmas this year really believe that Jesus was born of a virgin. Why is it so terribly important that we believe and accept that Mary was indeed a virgin until after Jesus’ birth? Because we know from Scripture that sin entered the world through the seed of man. Had Jesus been conceived through an earthly man’s seed, he could not have escaped the sin nature that is born into all of us. And if Jesus were not sinless, he could never become the sacrifice demanded by God’s righteousness. The virgin birth is not an optional theology. Your whole destiny—and mine—depends upon whether or not it is true. We are acceptable to God when we accept the redemption and forgiveness of our sins made possible because the perfect sacrificial Lamb, Jesus Christ, paid the debt for our sins. And Jesus Christ was perfect because there was no sin in him passed on to him by the seed of man. He was born of a virgin; the only man who has ever been born of the seed of a woman. That is critical. Can you imagine what Gabriel’s words meant to a little Jewish girl, probably only 15 or 16 years old, of the humblest means, who has heard all her life about David, his kingdom, his reign as King of Israel? And now, she is told her son is going to take David’s place and reign forever. I’m sure Mary had often heard the prophecies of the coming Messiah. But surely she never seriously thought she would be selected as his mother. Can you put yourselves in her shoes, and think of how you might have reacted? It was an incredible declaration requiring enormous faith on Mary’s part. Would you have accepted such a statement face value? How does Mary react? She asks a very simple question, not a question of doubt, not a challenge to the truth of the angel’s statement, but a question of curiosity and logic. To paraphrase she asked: “How can I have a baby, when I’ve never known a man? If you’re not going to use an earthly man for this, how are you going to do it?” To a simple, honest question, Gabriel gives a simple answer: The Holy Spirit will cause this child to be impregnated in your womb, Mary. Therefore, he will be the Son of God (Luke 1:35). Mary’s acceptance of this announcement is absolutely remarkable. Once Gabriel answers her simple question, in the same simple faith and openness, she accepts. Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word (Luke 1:38). Instead of plying Gabriel with hundreds of questions, instead of giving place to all the doubts and fears and insecurities that she must have felt at that time, Mary accepts. Let’s think of some of the normal, natural questions and objections that Mary could have legitimately raised at that point. She could have said: What will I tell my friends and relatives? No one will believe that I have not slept with some man. What will happen to my reputation? What will I tell Joseph? He probably won’t want to marry me now. And if Joseph doesn’t marry me, what will I do to support myself and this baby? I will be an outcast. Worse still, Gabriel, if Joseph so desires he could divorce me or he could have me stoned to death for adultery. Why don’t you, Gabriel, tell everyone else what you have told me? I would appreciate you doing that. Then maybe they will believe me. At least tell everyone in Nazareth, please. Wouldn’t you have asked some of these questions or made some other requests of Gabriel? I’m sure I would have. But not this Mary. Her immediate, unquestioning response is be it done to me according to your word. Now we’re beginning to see the heart of this special lady. An accepting heart. What is required of us in order to have an accepting heart? First, we must stay very simple, and by that I mean uncomplicated. Mary didn’t try to see exactly how everything was going to work out before she accepted. She didn’t let her imagination run wild with all the “what if’s” or “why’s”, as many of us tend to do. She kept it very simple. She accepted from God’s hand what he had asked of her. Do you keep your heart simple? Or do you waste emotions and time and effort in complicating issues? When you know what God wants you to do, do you get all tied up in knots, trying to see every possibility and make sure you know every step of the way before you do anything? You’ll save yourself a lot of grief if you can ask God to give you a simple heart, to help you learn how to un-complicate decisions and situations by simply accepting. Another thing required for an accepting heart is trust. Mary believed with unwavering faith. Can you appreciate the enormity of what she was asked to accept by faith? She was asked to believe that she would become pregnant without ever having relations with any man. And Mary believed. Why do you think Mary so readily believed what Gabriel told her? Do you think it’s possible to just have that kind of trust and faith without any preparation? Was she just born that way? I don’t think so. We know faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. We know from what Mary says later to Elizabeth, her cousin, that Mary knew the Word of God. She had established her faith in God’s Word, so when Gabriel brought this further Word of God to her, she was accustomed to trusting it, and it wasn’t difficult for her to trust it once more. May I say again what I know I’ve said time and again: You’re never going to be able to trust God until you spend consistent, quality and quantity time in his Word. If some great thing comes on you which requires a lot of trust and faith on your part, and you are unprepared because you don’t consistently saturate yourself with God’s Word, don’t be surprised to discover that your faith falters, and you fail the test. You won’t be able to muster up tons of faith on the spur of the moment if you don’t make trusting God a part of your everyday life. And that comes by knowing him through his Word. Are you in the midst of some testing now? Are you under some stress or pressure that requires faith on your part? I hope you’ve been staying in the Word of God, because that’s where that instant faith comes from at those unexpected times when you need it. You need to know the Word of God to have the kind of trust that Mary had. How marvelous it is that, as Paul says in Galatians 4:4: But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law. I pray that you have become a child of God through placing your trust in his Son, the One who was willing to come and be born of a woman so that you and I could be redeemed from the curse of the law and sin. If not, you can have that right now by confessing your sin and allowing that One born in a manger to cleanse you and give to you the full rights as his child. Until you have done that, you can never really understand what Christmas is all about.

December 19 2025 Friday Who Jesus Made You To Be / Week 05 Presented Perfect In Christ Jesus #findoutwhoyouare My Vision My vision is to teach the world Who They Are In Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior! To Teach them what the Bible says about them and who they have been made to be in the promises of God's Word. This changed my life years ago and completely transformed me from a person full of doubt, fear and unbelief to a strong confident Christian that knows I can do anything through Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. And I'm determined to teach the world what God has taught and commissioned me to teach and that is His Word.  That commission takes me to jails and detention centers weekly along with other open doors at many churches and ministries that are wanting to teach these important truths to the world. My podcast goes out 6 days a week to help the people I am ministering to grow in the truths that God has taught me for many years now. This podcast is free to all that want to listen and grow strong in who God has made them to be in Christ Jesus their Lord and Savior. My Prayers For The World Ephesians 1:15-23 NLT  'Ever since I first heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for God's people everywhere, I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe 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. Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself.'  Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT 'When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.'

And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself.'  Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT 'When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.'

Trusting God for Today's Needs #RTTBROS #Nightlight"Your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things." — Matthew 6:32You know, A.B. Simpson once said something that's stuck with me for years. He said Christ makes no less of our trust for temporal things than He does for spiritual things. Now, at first, that might sound a little odd. We tend to think spiritual trust is the higher, nobler thing. But Simpson understood something profound: it's actually harder to trust God for material needs than spiritual ones.Here's why. In spiritual matters, we can fool ourselves. We can say we're trusting God for things that are way off in the distance, things we can't see or measure. But you can't fake trust when it comes to rent and food and the needs of your body. They either come or they don't. Your faith gets tested in the everyday stuff, in the tangible, right now needs.When the sun is shining and everything's going well, it's easy to say we trust God. But let something come along that irritates and rasps and frets us, let the bills pile up or the pantry get low, and we find out real quick whether our trust is genuine or just religious talk.I think about the children of Israel in the wilderness. God fed them with manna every single day. Not once a month, not a year's supply dropped off at their tent. Every day. That wasn't cruel, that was kind. God was teaching them to trust Him one day at a time. Jesus said the same thing in Matthew 6:34, "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself."The things of everyday life, the rent check, the grocery bill, the car repair, these are tests of our real faith in God. And honestly, I'm too soon old and too late smart on this, but I've learned that God often puts us where we have to trust Him for tangible matters precisely because that's where our faith becomes real instead of theoretical.Simpson asked a piercing question: Are you trusting God for everything? Not just the big spiritual things, the eternal salvation, but the everyday needs? Because your heavenly Father knows what you need. He's not surprised by your bills. He's not caught off guard by your circumstances.So here's the challenge: if you're not trusting God wholly in these everyday matters, you'll break down when the real tests come. But when you learn to trust Him for today's bread, for this week's needs, for the practical answers that must come, your faith becomes the kind that weathers any storm.Let's pray: Father, forgive us for thinking some needs are too small for Your attention or too big for Your provision. Teach us to trust You not just for heaven someday, but for our daily bread today. In Jesus' name, Amen.#Faith #Trust #Provision #ChristianLiving #DailyDevotion #BiblicalWisdom #SpiritualGrowth #RTTBROS #NightlightBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out. https://linktr.ee/rttbros

God called Mary to bear His Son to be born into the world to save the world, and there is no way she could have followed through with this unless she had faith in God to do what He said and equip her with everything she would need.

Notes Matthew 1:18-25 Isaiah 7:10-16 Romans 1:1-7 Summary In this episode of the Pulpit Fiction Podcast, hosts Robb and Eric discuss the readings for the fourth Sunday of Advent, focusing on Matthew 1:18-25, Isaiah 7:10-16, and Romans 1:1-7. They explore the significance of Joseph's role in the birth of Jesus, the prophetic message of Isaiah regarding Emmanuel, and the implications of Paul's letter to the Romans. The conversation emphasizes themes of faith, the importance of trusting in God, and the call to action for believers during the Advent season. Takeaways The birth of Jesus is a significant event in the Gospel of Matthew, focusing on Joseph's role. Joseph's righteousness is highlighted as he chooses compassion over the law. Isaiah's prophecy about Emmanuel emphasizes God's presence with us. Advent is a time of waiting and preparation, calling for active faith. The third way of trusting in God amidst challenges is crucial. The names of Jesus carry deep meaning and significance. Paul's letter to the Romans connects the promise of God to all people. The role of adoptive fathers is an important theme in the narrative. Faith in God calls us to action and advocacy for justice. The conversation encourages a deeper understanding of scripture and its application.  Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Advent and the Gospel Readings 06:57 Exploring Matthew 1:18-25 - The Birth of Jesus 25:48 Isaiah 7:10-16 - The Prophecy of Emmanuel 27:31 The Context of Isaiah and Ahaz 30:05 The Third Way: Trusting in God 33:22 Vulnerability and the Sign of a Child 39:17 Active Faith in a Troubled World 44:34 Eschatology and the Promise of Christ

Pastor Endean centers on the biblical truth that pride is the root of all sin and a fundamental form of unbelief, opposing the humility that flows from genuine faith in God's sovereignty and sufficiency. Drawing from Jeremiah 9:23–24, he emphasizes that true glory lies not in wisdom, strength, or wealth, but in knowing and understanding God, whose lovingkindness, justice, and righteousness are the foundation of all worth. Through illustrations like Nebuchadnezzar's downfall and the warnings to Israel, Pastor Endean reveals how pride manifests in self-reliance, self-approval, anxiety, self-pity, and judgmentalism, all of which stem from a heart that trusts in self rather than God. The antidote is not self-effort but a continual orientation toward Christ, who exemplified humility by emptying Himself, and a life marked by mourning over sin, serving others, and meditating on God's character. Ultimately, humility is not self-deprecation but a posture of faith that finds satisfaction in God alone, where true victory over pride is found.

In the spring, Edward Brandon Becham was caring for his dying wife. He was also among hundreds of thousands of federal workers weighing whether to abandon public service. Donald Trump had taken office vowing to slash the federal bureaucracy, then entrusted the task to billionaire Elon Musk and a newly created cost-cutting team called the Department of Government Efficiency. In a matter of months, Musk and his U.S. DOGE Service wiped out hundreds of thousands of jobs, billions of dollars in spending and the job security that once distinguished government work.Of America's 2.4 million federal workers, nearly 4 in 10 registered to vote had, like Becham, cast ballots for Trump, according to a Washington Post-Ipsos poll. But as the days passed, Becham was becoming convinced that the Trump administration's treatment of government employees — large-scale firings, emails he saw as harassing and strict return-to-office mandates — was wrongheaded and cruel. If he was unable to resign, Brandon would be required to report to a federal building in Las Vegas more than 70 miles away. Round-trip, it would cost him three hours a day with his three children, for whom he would soon be the only parent and sole provider.Becham felt as though he was witnessing two painful deaths: his wife's, of course, but also that of his career. In his darkest moments, Brandon turned to his Bible — and next to it, his leather-bound diary.This story follows Becham and his family for a week as he navigated his feelings about his wife, family, his career and Trump.Hannah Natanson reported and narrated the piece.

The discourse within this podcast episode elucidates the profound theme of "Peace that Finds You in the Middle of the Chaos," which resonates deeply during the second week of Advent. In this context, we contemplate the biblical narrative found in Luke 1:26-38, where the angel Gabriel announces to Mary that she has found favor with God. This pivotal moment, rather than ushering in tranquility, initiates a tumultuous upheaval in her life, challenging our conventional understanding of peace as the mere absence of conflict. We explore the notion that true peace emerges not when circumstances align favorably, but through a surrender to God amidst disorder and uncertainty. Consequently, we invite listeners to reflect upon their own lives, recognizing that the divine presence offers solace and stability even when chaos surrounds them.In this episode, Dr. Jeffrey D. Skinner explores the theme of peace during the second week of Advent, focusing on Mary's encounter with the angel Gabriel. He emphasizes that true peace is not the absence of chaos but the presence of God within it. Through Mary's story, he illustrates how God chooses the overlooked and how surrendering to God's will can lead to profound peace amidst life's upheavals.TakeawaysThe second week of Advent focuses on peace.Mary's encounter with Gabriel highlights God's favor on the overlooked.Peace in scripture is not the absence of conflict but God's presence in it.Mary's surrender led to the incarnation amidst chaos.God's grace precedes our actions and understanding.Honest questioning from a place of surrender is honored by heaven.The same Spirit that overshadowed Mary is with us today.True peace is received through surrender, not manufactured.Mary's story offers hope to those in chaos and uncertainty.The peace of Advent is about finding God in the midst of turmoil.As we delve into the second week of Advent, the podcast elucidates the theme of peace that emerges in the midst of chaos, drawing upon the biblical account of Mary's encounter with the angel Gabriel. This pivotal moment serves as a profound illustration of the complexities surrounding the notion of peace, particularly when juxtaposed with the realities of life's unpredictable nature. The conversation begins with an examination of the initial reaction of Mary, who is described as perplexed upon receiving news that she has been chosen to bear the Messiah. The podcast invites listeners to reflect on the implications of this encounter, which challenges the conventional understanding of peace as merely the absence of strife. Instead, it posits that true peace is birthed from a deep and abiding faith in God, even when circumstances are laden with uncertainty and upheaval. Furthermore, the discussion highlights how God's choice to announce such momentous news to a young, overlooked woman exemplifies His tendency to work through the marginalized and the insignificant. This serves as an empowering reminder that every person possesses intrinsic value and purpose, regardless of societal status. The narrative not only illustrates Mary's courageous acceptance of her role but also emphasizes the importance of surrendering to God's will, thereby finding peace amidst chaos. In light of contemporary challenges, the episode resonates with those grappling with their own tumultuous experiences, offering hope that even in our most trying times, God's presence can provide a steadfast peace that surpasses all understanding. To encapsulate, the podcast encourages listeners to reframe their understanding of peace as an active engagement with God, rather than a passive state of being. By embracing the chaos of life and recognizing the divine purpose that undergirds it, we are empowered to trust in God's overarching plan, much like Mary did. This Advent season, we are called to embody the peace that...

Listen to this episode to learn more: [00:00] - Intro [03:27] - God is the greatest artist [06:58] - John and Walker's daily gratitude habit [08:52] - Walker's background [09:38] - Meaning of "Discovering Yourself Through the Light of Your Innocence" [12:07] - What is pain? [14:29] - Flip how you see pain  [16:17] - How Viktor Frankl and Nelson Mandela reframed pain [19:04] - Walker's favorite acting project: Star Trek [22:29] - "People can only be where they are" [24:14] - Walker's faith in God  [33:27] - Outro NOTABLE QUOTES: "God's understanding is greater than our own. The wisdom is beyond what we'll ever understand." "Allow yourself to be the student of life again." "If we can remember that resilience and that incredible mastery that we are, we'd be a lot more courageous, joyful, understanding, and tolerant of one another." "Pain is temporary, and pain always comes with a silver lining. There is always something to learn." "Let's introduce the possibility that your pain might be your greatest gift, even though it may take a moment to convince what you've learned and what has influenced your life that this is something you should avoid. This is something you're not avoiding. You don't even know it's mapping out your life. It has more power than your actual choices right now." "Why not just flip it (our idea of what pain means) and allow for the possibility that that pain is temporary, meaningful, and even helpful? There is something so powerful there, because it gives you an understanding of your capacity and an understanding that you're really never completely alone, because you've got you in every circumstance. We don't want pain, but sometimes it's exactly what you need if you want to get to the next level, or levels beyond your comprehension." "People can only be where they are. When you learn something, you want to bring people with you because you know it'll be better for them, but respecting that a person is where they are, offering the information, and letting them choose is really important, because it has to be a personal choice."
