This is the last of 3 sermons over the life of Samson.  He is an example of bondage to sin.

This second sermon about Samson further demonstrates him to be a perfect illustration of spiritual bondage.  

Today, we look at the life of Samson, as an example of bondage to sin.  He came into the world with such great potential, but because he followed his flesh throughout his life, his end is tragic.

This is message two about Jephthah a seriously flawed leader over Israel.

Jephthah was a leader in Israel who was highly unqualified.

This is the story of Abimelech in the book of Judges.  God did not choose him to be a judge, he elected himself to be king.

This is the 5th message from the book of Judges.  It concerns fear leading to failure and the life of Gideon.

In this fourth sermon in judges we look at a fourth reason for spiritual failure: fear.

Brian From reflects on encouraging financial news before reminding listeners that true security isn’t found in mortgage rates or markets, but in Christ who never fluctuates. He walks through the “money-back guarantees” of the gospel from Romans 5—peace with God, access to grace, hope, assurance, and reconciliation—celebrating the unshakable blessings believers receive in Jesus. The hour also offers pastoral encouragement on prayer, integrity in leadership, and finding God’s steady presence even in seasons of anxiety.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Continuing through our winter series here looking at the Firm Foundations that make up the Chirstian Faith. Tonight, Ryan and Issa Tornberg walk us through the spiritual grace of the act of worship. Thanks for listening!

In Week 4 of the Firm Foundations series, we arrive at the foundation beneath every foundation: Union with Christ. Christianity is not about living for Christ at a distance—it's about Christ living His life in us. This message dismantles the old-covenant mindset of a distant God who comes and goes and reveals the new-covenant reality of seamless oneness with Father, Son, and Spirit. Union is not a new doctrine or poetic language—it's covenant reality. At the cross, humanity was included in Christ's death, burial, resurrection, and now His life. You were co-crucified, co-buried, co-raised, and co-seated with Him. Belief doesn't create this union; it awakens us to what was already accomplished. This episode explores how union answers the deepest questions of the human heart—Do I belong? Am I accepted? Am I secure?—and boldly declares that separation from God is no longer possible in Christ. God is not occasionally nearby; He is permanently present. Discover how union is the foundation of salvation, justification, sanctification, and transformation from the inside out—and why the gospel begins not with us accepting Jesus into our lives, but with realizing that we have been accepted into His life.

In Week 3 of the Firm Foundations series, we ask a critical question: What keeps a believer standing when life presses in? It's possible to believe Christ is the foundation and still live unstable. It's possible to believe the work is finished and still feel pressured. In this episode, we discover what truly stabilizes the believer: being rooted in love and established in grace. Drawing from Colossians 2, Ephesians 3, Hebrews 13, and the prophetic promises of Isaiah, this teaching reveals that grace is not just how we begin our walk with Christ—it is how we stand, endure, and thrive. You'll learn why: -Roots matter more than appearances -Stability is not circumstantial but relational -Grace settles the heart where rules never can -Love is the soil where faith and endurance grow If your faith feels fragile, your heart feels tired, or your confidence feels shaken, this message is an invitation to let God settle your heart and establish you firmly in His grace.

As we step into a new year, many are asking the same question: Who—or what—can I really count on? In this opening message of the Firm Foundations series, we're reminded that storms don't test our intentions—they reveal our foundations. Using the powerful illustration of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, this sermon exposes the danger of building on unstable ground and invites us to stop striving harder and start building wiser. God's answer to instability isn't more effort—it's a stronger foundation. Scripture declares that Jesus Christ is the Chief Cornerstone, tested, precious, and unshakable. When life applies pressure, alignment matters more than activity. This message calls us not to rebuild our lives in fear or shame, but to realign them in trust. If you're entering this year hopeful yet cautious, weary yet faithful, this word will anchor your heart in the only foundation that produces rest instead of rush.

Original airdate 8/12/25: Mary welcomes new guest Elizabeth Urbanowicz, a follower of Jesus Christ who is passionate about equipping kids to understand the truth of the Christian worldview. Elizabeth began her professional career as an elementary teacher in a Christian school. Several years into her teaching experience, she realized that despite being raised in Christian homes, attending a Christian school, and being active in church, her students thought more like the culture than like Christ. She began searching for curricular materials that would equip her students to think critically, helping them discover that Christianity is the worldview that lines up with reality. After not finding any materials that met this need, she began creating a curriculum for her students. Today we look at how to move our kids forward, and pursue excellence in everything, at a time when the culture keeps going backwards everywhere we look. Counteracting a worldly worldview is a full time job. How can families and churches proactively keep their youth engaged with truth? What will it take, consistently and purposefully? A full hour with Elizabeth as we seek to begin to guard our hearts with all diligence and raise children to be confident, passionate lovers of truth.
