In this episode of To Be the Church, we talk about why context and genre matter when interpreting Scripture. From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible includes historical narrative, poetry, wisdom literature, letters, and apocalyptic imagery—and each genre calls for a different approach.We explore how understanding the original audience, authorial intent, and literary style helps prevent common misreadings, avoids unnecessary conflicts with science, and brings clarity to difficult passages—especially in books like Genesis and Revelation.Contact us at podcast@tobethechurch.com

Jacob — Transformed by God's Touch | Pastor Verna DeHartIn this message, Pastor Verna DeHart unpacks the transformational story of Jacob a man marked by striving until an encounter with God brought surrender, renaming, and true identity.Recorded during The Heroes and Great Stories of the Bible series, this teaching reveals how God often meets us in moments of fear, transition, and weakness not perfection. Jacob's wrestling at the Jabbok River reminds us that when we stop relying on our own strength, God reshapes who we are.You'll hear insights on: Striving versus trusting God's timing How confession opens the door to transformation Why God allows wrestling to break self-reliance What it means to walk differently after encountering God Key Declaration:“I bring my real self to You, God. I release striving. I receive transformation.”

Joseph — From the Pit to the Palace | Pastor Verna DeHartJoseph's story reminds us that God's promise never changes, but the process shapes us.In this message from The Heroes and Great Stories of the Bible series, Pastor Verna DeHart walks through Joseph's journey of dreams, betrayal, faithfulness, and ultimate elevation. Though Joseph endured the pit, slavery, and prison, God was with him in every season, refining his character and preparing him for purpose.You'll hear how: God gives dreams long before promotion Betrayal cannot cancel God's plan Favor grows quietly in hidden places Obedience prepares us for authority God uses every season to position us for purpose This episode is a reminder that:You may be delayed—but you are not denied.You may be hidden—but you are not forgotten.You may be tested—but you are being prepared.Key Declaration:“What God has spoken over my life will come to pass.”

Can you trust that viral “Bible connection” you just saw on TikTok? In this episode, Matt Swale, author of Terms, Themes, and Thesis, joins Dr. Dru Johnson to discuss how biblical allusions really work—and why we need better instincts and better tools when interpreting Scripture. Swale wrote the book to help lay readers and undergraduates navigate the exciting (and sometimes overhyped) world of intertextuality: how one passage of Scripture evokes another, often subtly, and with profound rhetorical effect. They explore his criteria for spotting allusions—rare terms, thematic coherence, and rhetorical fit—while affirming the emotional and spiritual value of hunting for connections. From Genesis 3 and Luke 24 to Judges 19 and Genesis 19, Swale shows how true allusions enrich our understanding, while false positives can mislead or confuse. Swale also urges humility: “You want to make sure it's real,” he says. “False positives are part of the process.” He encourages listeners to use tools like reference Bibles, read in community, and learn from scholars—while warning against treating academic access as priestly gatekeeping.

In Week 3 of our Airplane Mode series, Pastor Kim Hoyt reminds us that practicing presence does not mean isolating ourselves. Airplane Mode is not about disconnecting from people, it is about disconnecting from the noise so we can reconnect with what matters most.This message is a heartfelt invitation back into church community, even if you have been hurt before. Pastor Kim shares parts of her story and shows how God has consistently used people to bring hope, healing, provision, and direction. From Genesis to Jesus to the early church, community is not a modern church strategy, it is God's design from the beginning.You will hear why spiritual growth is not meant to happen in isolation, how God often speaks through others, and how community becomes formation, not just attendance. If you have felt alone, weary, or hesitant to trust church again, this message is for you.www.thejourneychurch.cc

Why do followers of Jesus talk about Him everywhere they go?In this sermon from Acts 1:1–11, Pastor Clayton teaches that witnessing isn't reserved for professionals or pastors—it's what every believer was created and re-created to do.

Through the Holy Spirit, ordinary people are empowered to witness to an extraordinary truth: Jesus is alive, and His resurrection changes everything.

Send us a textWhat if the very trouble you're begging God to remove is the bridge he's using to answer your prayer? We dive into Job 12:16 and pull apart the reflex to equate comfort with favor and pain with failure. With Scripture at the center and honest stories at the edges, we trace how God's strength and wisdom hold both the deceived and the deceiver, the righteous and the rebellious, without ever compromising his goodness.We unpack how visible success can be a poor metric for divine approval, and why the prosperity of the wicked doesn't unsettle God's rule. From Genesis to Ecclesiastes, breath becomes a thread—given, sustained, and returned—reminding us that every life is held by a sovereign hand. A hospice worker's testimony brings theology close, letting us hear the first and last breaths that whisper the name of God. Along the way, we challenge a common dodge: turning hard doctrines into speculation. If God's counsel is perfect, then the ends and the means belong to him, and our plans bow to his direction.The conversation gets practical and vulnerable: confession of past errors, the sting and relief of correction, and the quiet power of reading Scripture with family. We explore why affliction often answers prayers for patience and nearness, how humility opens the door to wisdom, and why arguing about sovereignty without worship leads to pride. Job's logic stands tall—if comfort is proof of favor, what do we do with the flourishing of fools? Instead, we learn to trust a God who can ordain weakness for the righteous and still work it for good.If this resonates, share it with a friend who's wrestling with suffering and sovereignty.

We confront a growing cultural contempt toward men and map a better path: a biblical vision where male strength is foundational, sacrificial, and aimed at others' flourishing. From Genesis to Joseph, we argue for equal dignity, real difference, and headship as responsibility, not privilege.Thank you for listening! Please visit us at www.faith-pca.org.

As we head into 2026, let us consider a simple invitation from Psalm 34: Taste and see that the Lord is good. From Genesis to Revelation, the scriptures demonstrate God inviting us to receive his wonderful love in tangible, authentic, and embodied ways. Through Jesus, the hard work has been completed, and our job is to receive from him. What gets in the way of us “tasting and seeing” the goodness of God? Let us run (with abandon) into the perfect Arms of love as a community this year. By Nelly D'Alessandro

In this sermon, Pastor Keith challenges the chaotic spirit of this age, the expressive individualism in which the self, with all authority and autonomy, determines his or her own identity, even to the point of changing gender. From Genesis 1:26-28, known as the key text for Imago Dei and the cultural mandate, Pastor Keith calls the church to remember and recover biblical anthropology. By highlighting God's deliberation (v.26), God's creation (v.27), and God's benediction (v.28), He reminds us that God created humanity in His image, male and female, for us to bear His glory, and that the ultimate and perfect image of God was displayed in Christ Jesus who came as a man to save the fallen image-bearers to regain God's blessing.

Welcome to Be Bold for Jesus!Our mission is to help you walk boldly in your faith and follow Jesus with confidence. Led by Lee and Jaclyn Arnold, we teach the Bible in a way that transforms your heart and equips you to live out God's truth every day.In today's message:“Is Setting New Year's Goals, Biblical?”As we approach a new year, we explore what Scripture really says about planning, goal setting, and purpose. From Genesis to the New Testament, the Bible reveals that God is not against planning—He is against prideful, self-directed planning. Biblical goal setting is stewardship under surrender.Through the lives of Joseph, Moses, Nehemiah, Jesus, Paul, and James, we see that God calls His people to plan wisely, work diligently, delegate humbly, and trust Him completely with the outcome.This message reveals key truths:God is a planner by nature, and we are made in His image.Planning is biblical when it is submitted to the Lord.Prayer and planning are meant to work together.Delegation prevents burnout and multiplies impact.God establishes our steps, even when He redirects our plans.The reminder for us today:“Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.” — Proverbs 16:3“In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps.” — Proverbs 16:9“If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that.” — James 4:15As we step into 2026, we are encouraged not to chase worldly resolutions, but to seek first the Kingdom of God—writing our plans in pencil, holding them with open hands, and trusting the Lord to lead every step.If God is calling you to plan, grow, and move forward—do so in humility, obedience, and faith. When Jesus leads the plan, our goals don't just change us—they advance the Kingdom.Stay connected and grow with us:• Sunday Sermons – Live on Zoom + Facebook• Wednesday Bible Study – Interactive discussions to go deeper• Daily Dose of Boldness – Devotionals to strengthen your walk with GodBe Bold for Jesus Conference 2026An unforgettable weekend to ignite your faith and equip you to live boldly for Christ.

In Luke 2:1–20, the Shepherds leave their flocks and run to Bethlehem because they believed something extraordinary: God had come to save His people.In this Christmas sermon from Westwood Church in Evansville, IN, Christian Barrett explores:1. What the shepherds believed from the Old Testament2. Why the angels worshipped3. Why the Savior had to come in the flesh4. Why the Savior had to be God5. What it means that Jesus is “God with us”The angel's announcement—“For unto you is born this day…a Savior, who is Christ the Lord”—was not new information, but the fulfillment of everything God had promised in the Law, the Prophets, and the Psalms. From Genesis 3:15 to Isaiah 9:6–7 and Micah 5:2, Scripture points to a Savior who would be both truly man and truly God.This message reminds us that Christmas is not about sentimentality or tradition, but about the gospel:Jesus Christ came in the flesh, lived the life we could not live, died the death we deserved, and rose again to conquer sin and death.If you are not a Christian, this message is an invitation to receive Christ by faith—the greatest gift of all. If you are a Christian, it is a call to stop striving and to rest in Jesus, pondering Him daily rather than only at Christmas.Main Passage: Luke 2:1–20Supporting Scriptures: Genesis 3:15; Hebrews 2:14–18; Isaiah 9:6–7; Micah 5:2Subscribe for biblical teaching centered on ChristShare to help others hear the true message of Christmas#ChristmasSermon #Luke2 #GodWithUs #Incarnation #JesusChrist #Gospel #Shepherds #ChristianTeaching #ChristmasTruth

The waiting is over. The promise has arrived. In this final message of our Christmas series "The Promise Kept," Lead Pastor Clay Monkus brings us to the moment that changed everything: the birth of Jesus in Luke 2:1–20. After centuries of prophecies, generations of waiting, and 400 years of silence—God spoke. And He didn't just speak with words. He spoke with a baby. The arrival of Jesus in that humble manger was the fulfillment of every promise God had ever made. From Genesis 3 to the prophets to that starlit night in Bethlehem—God proved that He always keeps His word. If you've been waiting on God for something—healing, restoration, breakthrough, hope—this message is your reminder: God finishes what He starts. He kept His promise then. He will keep His promise to you. Celebrate with us as we close out this series by discovering why Jesus is the ultimate proof that you can trust God with your future.

Light in the Darkness | Christmas Eve ServiceIn this Christmas Eve message, Light in the Darkness, we reflect on the timeless contrast between light and darkness—seen from the very beginning of creation to the birth of Jesus, the Light of the World. From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture reveals that even the smallest light pierces the deepest darkness.The Bible uses this image to describe: Nations walking through dark seasons, Personal struggles and, weary hearts. And most importantly, our spiritual reality apart from God. The core problem of the world isn't just hardship—it's the rejection of God and His ways, which leads to brokenness. But because of His great love, God sent His Son to shine light into our spiritual darkness and make a way for salvation.Jesus declares, “I am the light of the world.” His light cannot be overcome, and when we turn to Him, we move from darkness to light, from death to life, and from despair to lasting hope.This Christmas Eve message invites you to reflect, respond, and rejoice in the truth that:The darkness has not won The Light has comeAnd our future is brighter because of Jesus If you're walking through a difficult season or searching for hope this Christmas, this message is for you.

From Genesis to John, this sermon traces the story of a God who creates out of delight, draws near in love, and refuses to give up on his people—even when he's rejected.

Christmas wasn't announced with a lullaby — it was declared with a battle cry.When the angels appeared in Luke 2, they weren't a quiet choir singing softly to shepherds. Scripture tells us they were a multitude of the heavenly host — an army — proclaiming a declaration that would shake heaven, earth, and hell itself:“Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men.”In this powerful message, we uncover the truth behind that declaration and why it still matters today. From Genesis 3:15 to the fields of Bethlehem, God has always spoken before He moved — and this announcement was more than a birth notice. It was a declaration of war against darkness and a proclamation of hope for humanity.

Immanuel isn't just a Christmas name—it's the story of the entire Bible in one word: God with us. From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture tells a single, beautiful story of God's desire to dwell with His people. What sin broke, God promised to restore. What was lost in Eden, Jesus fulfills in the incarnation. In this message, we explore the meaning and significance of the name Immanuel, first promised in Isaiah and fully revealed in Jesus. God doesn't offer distance, strategy, or escape—He offers His presence. In our fear, uncertainty, and brokenness, God's answer has always been Himself. You'll see how Immanuel unfolds across redemptive history: God with us intended, lost, promised, near, threatened, arrived, within, and forever. Jesus is not God watching from heaven—He is God who stepped into our pain, our weakness, and our world to be with us and save us. This message reminds us that we were created for God's presence, sustained by it now, and destined to dwell with Him forever. Immanuel is not seasonal—it's eternal.

Ever had something small go wrong and suddenly you're spiraling into insecurity, shame, or old stories you thought you were done with? Yeah… me too. Today I share a simple moment in my kitchen that unexpectedly poked an old wound and sent me into a whole internal narrative about not being good enough.But this episode isn't really about caulking a backsplash.It's about the lies men believe, the wounds we carry into adulthood, and why healing matters way more than we think.In this episode we talk about:• How tiny moments trigger big wounds• Why our brains write stories we never chose• How men often cope through numbing, distancing, or performing• What “intimacy disorder” really means• How Jesus meets us in our pain and speaks truth• Why healed men become better husbands, fathers, and friends• Why your healing is never just for you—it's for the missionWe also finish Step 7 of the Seven Steps of Discipleship:pouring your life into someone else.From Genesis to Jesus' final words, God has always called men to expand His kingdom, not retreat into self-protection.Strong families begin with healed men.Strong men begin by telling the truth.And healed men are sent men.Download the free 7 Steps of Discipleship PDF: dadtired.com/7stepsJoin us at the Dadology Conference (San Diego): dadtired.com/dadologyPartner with Dad Tired as we close out the year: dadtired.com/donateRite of Passage Alaska Trip (for dads + teenage sons) — limited spots Host a One-Day Dad Tired Conference at your church: dadtired.com/conferenceToday's Sponsor: One Year Bible

This week on the Companion Podcast, we're unwrapping the gift of rest — not as a reward for finishing everything, but as an act of trust in a sovereign God. From Genesis to Revelation, rest isn't optional or accidental; it's woven into creation, commanded in the Sabbath, modeled by Jesus, and promised for eternity.Evan, Jon, and Kasey talk about why rest feels so difficult, why we often confuse it with comfort or laziness, and how Jesus' invitation to “take My yoke” reframes rest as surrender, not escape. They explore Sabbath as rhythm rather than reward, how rest and running the race coexist, and what practical, grace-filled steps it looks like to actually receive the rest God offers.If slowing down feels irresponsible — or even impossible — this conversation may change the way you see rest altogether.

This powerful message walks through the prophetic pathway that leads to Jesus, revealing how God intentionally used prophecy, people, and places throughout Scripture to keep hope alive—even when circumstances looked impossible. From Genesis to the Gospels, this teaching shows how Jesus fulfilled hundreds of Old Testament prophecies, proving that God's plan was never random and hope was never lost.

In this message, Pastor Eric launches our Christmas series Open Heaven by exploring why the “magic of Christmas” is really the longing of humanity for God's world to break into ours. From Genesis to the manger, he shows how the story of Scripture reveals heaven opening through the incarnation—God coming down the ladder to us. Discover how Christmas is not fantasy but ultimate reality, and why heaven is open and God is near right now.

Our words carry real power—and in this message, we're diving straight into that truth. From Genesis to Jesus' teaching in Mark 11, God shows us that spoken words create, they shape, and they move things. He spoke, and it was so… and because we're made in His image, what we say matters more than we realize.This message calls us to guard our mouths, speak life, and align our confession with God's Word. No more agreeing with the bad report. No more letting negativity or sarcasm train our hearts away from faith. When we believe what God has said and speak it out, something begins moving immediately—whether we see it yet or not.Your words are building your future. Let's line them up with heaven.

“He took him outside and said, ‘Look up at the sky and count the stars—if indeed you can count them.' Then he said to him, ‘So shall your offspring be.'” (Genesis 15:5 NIV)Hello sweet friends! Instead of Mothering Monday, we're sharing a special December teaching inside your Mothering Kit called “Beneath the Starry Nights.”In this beautiful seven-day devotional, Macy invites us to look up just like the moms, shepherds, patriarchs, and prophets did throughout Scripture—and remember the awe and wonder of God written in the skies. From Genesis to Revelation, we see His story stretched across the heavens, reminding us of His majesty, His power, and His tender care for each one of us.This month, as you read, meditate, and “chew” on the Word like a peaceful little sheep, we pray you feel God's nearness and His delight over you. He knows every star by name… and He knows you by name.

MESSIAH HAS COME — Week 2: Peace • “Prophesied Prince of Peace”The promise of peace didn't begin in the manger—it began in prophecy.In week 2 of our Advent series MESSIAH HAS COME, we focus on Peace and explore how Jesus fulfills God's long-standing plan revealed throughout Scripture. From Genesis to the prophets, God declared His purpose before it ever came to pass—and that purpose leads us to the Prince of Peace.Rooted in Isaiah 46:9b–10, this message reminds us that God is sovereign, faithful, and intentional. The Messiah's coming was no accident. Every promise pointed forward to Jesus, the One who brings true and lasting peace to a broken world.

In Matthew 27, the crowd stood at the cross and gambled with the very gift of redemption. This message exposes how people were reckless with Christ, consumed with outward things, and careless with the righteousness Jesus offers. From Genesis to Jeremiah, Scripture warns us not to risk what matters most. God still sets before us “the way of life and the way of death”—and calls us to choose wisely.Support the show

Humans are natural meaning-makers, always trying to make sense of the world around us. In this sermon, we'll look at God's purpose in creating humanity and the beautiful, fulfilling work He invites us into.From Genesis to the life of Jesus, we'll uncover what our true purpose is and consider how each of us can uniquely live that out as we grow and mature in Christ.

1 Corinthians 9:10. God calls His people to excel in the grace of giving. Generosity isn't a financial strategy; it's a formation. From Genesis to Revelation, God reveals a pattern: He is first, and His people flourish when their lives reflect His order. This Sunday, Pastor Steve Kelly unpacks how the cross reframes Passover, Sabbath, adultery, and honoring parents and how tithing stands as a principle that passes through the cross unchanged in purpose but deepened in motive. From first-fruits to faithfulness, this message shows how God forms a generous people who carry His heart, His priority, and His mission into the world.

This week's message invites us to slow down and recognize the incredible gift we've been given in the Holy Spirit. Throughout Scripture, we see the Spirit of God hovering over darkness, moving upon God's people, being poured out in power, coming upon believers, and continually filling them with strength, joy, and boldness. From Genesis to Acts, we're reminded that the Holy Spirit is not distant—He is active, present, and working in our lives. You were never meant to just survive. The Holy Spirit helps you thrive. Join us as we explore what it means to be truly thankful for the Holy Spirit and how His presence changes everything.

Why does a tiny people group carry so much weight in world affairs? In this episode of the Smith and Rowland Show, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland look at the global population of Jews, their presence in America, and what Scripture says about the Blessing and the Curse connected to how nations treat Israel. The hosts talk about the weaponization of the Bible, rising antisemitism on campuses, and the claim that Jews control world finance. They walk through historical examples of countries that expelled Jewish communities and then slipped into decline, and they ask what it means for a country when as many Jews live in America as in Israel. From Genesis 12 to Galatians 3, Alan and Jeff explain why they are pro-Israel because they are pro Bible. They raise concerns about popular commentators who attack Israel, and they call believers to line up with the word of God rather than political pressure or emotion.

In this episode of Worldview Legacy Today, Joel Settecase explains one of the most powerful arguments for the divine authorship of Scripture — the Argument from Foreshadowing.From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible is filled with events, symbols, and prophecies that anticipate future realities—especially the coming of Jesus Christ. These connections aren't coincidences. They're evidence that the Bible has one ultimate Author: God Himself.Joel also gives an update on the incredible progress of The Think Institute, including the success of the Every Church Activated Campaign, new resources in the Apologetics Directory, and the growing fellowship of the Hammer & Anvil Society.You'll Learn:Why biblical foreshadowing proves divine authorshipHow to recognize foreshadowing as distinct from prophecyKey examples that connect the Old Testament to ChristWhat the success of the Every Church Activated Campaign means for the ministryHow The Think Institute is equipping men, churches, and families in 2025Key Scriptures:Psalm 41:9, Zechariah 11:12–13, Matthew 26:15, Matthew 27:5–7, 2 Timothy 3:16Referenced Resources:The Bible's Use of Foreshadowing Shows That Its Author Is God — ⁠https://thethink.institute/articles/the-bibles-use-of-foreshadowing-shows-that-its-author-is-god⁠Origins: A Christian Worldview & Philosophy Course — ⁠https://thethink.institute/store⁠Calls to Action:Join the Hammer & Anvil Society (try free for 8 weeks): ⁠https://thethink.institute/society⁠Partner with The Think Institute to equip more churches: ⁠https://thethink.institute/partner⁠Listen to More Episodes:Podcast: ⁠https://thethink.institute/podcast⁠YouTube: ⁠https://youtube.com/thethinkinstitute⁠Hashtags:#ThinkInstitute #WorldviewLegacyToday #Apologetics #BiblicalForeshadowing #BibleTruth #ChristianWorldview #PresuppositionalApologetics #DivineAuthorship #Christianity

Join host Justin Forman in Nairobi, Kenya, as he sits down with Jean-Paul Nageri, co-founder of KaFresh, for an extraordinary conversation about finding divine solutions hidden in plain sight. When Jean-Paul watched his father's banana harvest spoil while waiting for traders, he didn't just see a problem—he saw a calling. What followed was a journey of "God Engineering" that led to a breakthrough preserving produce 10x longer using only natural plant oils.This episode explores how entrepreneurs can look to creation itself for answers to massive problems, why cold storage isn't always the answer for Africa, and how one biotech solution is transforming food security for millions. From Genesis 1:29 inspiration to cutting-edge agricultural innovation, this conversation reveals how faith, science, and entrepreneurship combine to solve real-world challenges.Key Topics:How watching his father lose 50% of harvests to spoilage launched an entrepreneurial journeyThe "God Engineering" discovery: unlocking preservation secrets from orange peelsWhy expensive Western solutions (cold storage) don't work for African farmersKaFresh breakthrough: Extending tomato shelf life from 1 week to 3+ months at room temperatureThe $1 trillion problem: Sub-Saharan Africa loses 37% of food production to post-harvest spoilageFrom synthetic chemicals to natural plant oils: reversing the globalization of food preservationHow monks in 1800s monasteries pioneered natural food coating techniquesBuilding an agricultural biotech platform: From preservation to accelerated seed germinationMaking insects "invisible" to produce instead of killing them with pesticidesUganda's 2 million smallholder farmers and the mindset shift that changes everythingNotable Quotes:"I like to use the term God Engineering. He literally leaves clues, but you have to have that discernment to be able to see the clues." - Jean-Paul Nageri"Why me, why me, why not some other big company? But that's God's plan. He normally takes the underdogs." - Jean-Paul Nageri"Anything that is good for you should be easy to pronounce." - Jean-Paul Nageri

Few topics create more confusion and division in the Church than this one. Why does one church celebrate women leading and preaching, while another says it's forbidden? And more importantly, what does Scripture actually say? This week, we're leaning into both the tension and the truth. From Genesis to Revelation, God never designed hierarchy; He designed harmony. Yes, there are difficult verses. But when we read the Bible responsibly, within context, culture, and covenant, we see a clearer picture: Jesus empowered women, the Spirit equipped them, and the early Church released them. God's design doesn't erase distinction; it restores it. And when men and women lead together under the lordship of Christ, the Church reflects His image more fully.

Pastor Strader - Wednesday Night - 10.08.2025Holiness isn't bondage—it's sanctuary. Pastor teaches Kingdom Culture: justified by grace, then sanctified in heart and body as God's temple. Distinct from the world, protected by His standards, and patterned after His Word. Holiness is beautiful, powerful, and safe. (Ps 29:2; Rom 12:1–2; 1 Cor 3:16–17)“Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.” (Ps. 29:2) In this teaching on Kingdom Culture, Pastor unpacks biblical holiness as sanctuary—a refuge, not bondage. From Genesis 2 to Romans 12, 1 Corinthians 3, and 2 Corinthians 7, he shows that God makes His people set apart—both inwardly (heart, motives) and outwardly (body, lifestyle)—because we are the temple of the Holy Ghost. Holiness isn't about earning love; it's our love-response to grace—justification (moment) leading to sanctification (process). God sets the pattern for His house, gives standards for our protection, and calls us to live distinctly from the world. Bottom line: Holiness is beautiful, powerful, and safe—Kingdom culture on display.Key Scriptures: Ps 29:2; Gen 2:3; Lev 11:45; Rom 12:1–2; 1 Cor 3:16–17; 1 Cor 6:19–20; 2 Cor 7:1; 2 Cor 6:17.

Every person was created to reflect the image and likeness of God. Unfortunately, sin has distorted that reflection and blinded many to their true worth. In part one of “Bearing God's Image,” Duane Sheriff reveals the divine design behind humanity's creation and the incredible value God places on every human life.From Genesis to Colossians, Scripture declares that we are not accidents—we are image bearers of a holy and loving Creator. Sin damages God's image in man, but righteousness through Jesus Christ restores it. Understanding this truth is essential to recovering our God-given dignity in today's confused and broken culture.God's image isn't something we put on—it's who we were created to be!

From Genesis to Revelation, God reveals Himself as our Shepherd — the One who guides, provides, and protects. But in a world full of false shepherds, online voices, and endless noise, how do we stay close to the real One?

Through his books, films, and online content, Joel seeks to equip believers with a grounded, apocalyptic hope rooted in the Scriptures. The Gospel of the Skull Crusher: The Gloriously Good News of God's Plan to Fix Everything is a sweeping journey through the entire biblical story—from Eden to the New Jerusalem—revealing the Messiah as the promised "seed of the woman" who crushes the serpent's head (Genesis 3:15). This book traces the war between the two seeds through every major covenant, prophecy, and hope of Scripture. Combining biblical theology, prophetic insight, and devotional clarity, Joel Richardson unveils how the gospel is not merely about escaping this world, but about God's promise to restore all things through the victorious reign of His Son. To Purchase Book: store.joelstrumpet.com == Description Dr. Michael Lake is joined by Dr. Mike Spaulding, Dr. Corby Shuey, and special guest Joel Richardson (NYT bestselling author, filmmaker, Bible teacher) to unpack Joel's new book, The Gospel of the Skull Crusher: The Glorious Good News of God's Plan for Fixing Everything. From Genesis 3:15 and the "war of the seeds" to Jesus as the Divine Warrior, we explore why the Bible is not just a promise book—it's a war narrative with a guaranteed victory at the Cross, fully manifested at the Lord's return. We tackle the "now and not yet" paradigm, embodied hope and the resurrection, the prophetic centrality of Israel (Abrahamic & Davidic covenants), and why recovering a Hebraic, non-Platonic worldview matters for discipleship, evangelism, and everyday faith. Joel also shares why he crafted a tactile, heirloom-quality book (linen cover, foil, ribbon, full-color art) to help readers slow down, wonder, and worship—plus how to access his ongoing chapter-by-chapter Bible study series.

Have you ever caught yourself shrinking back—unsure if your voice, gifts, or calling mattered as much as the guys around you? Maybe you've played small in ministry because you didn't want to come off as too much. Or wondered if being “quiet” and “safe” was your lane because you're a woman? Whew. You're not alone. In this episode, we're trading one of the oldest lies in the book—the idea that women are somehow less in value, voice, or calling—for the truth that God never said that. From Genesis to Jesus, we'll trace God's heart toward His daughters and see that His design has always been equal in worth and distinct in role—image-bearers, co-laborers, and essential to the body of Christ. To help unpack this, Heidi's joined by two powerhouse Bible teachers and authors, Jami Nato (This Must Be the Place) and Amy Seiffert (Your Name Is Daughter). Together, the three dive into: ✨ What the Bible actually says about women starting in the beginning of Genesis ✨ How Jesus treated women—and what that reveals about God's heart ✨ How to confidently live as a daughter of God while linking arms with His sons This isn't a feminist rant or a man-bashing session. It's a freeing conversation about God's good design for both women and men—and how the enemy's been twisting it for far too long. Grab your coffee, your Bible, and maybe your best girlfriend—because today, we're trading the lie of “less than” for the truth of who God says you are.

What happened to godly masculinity? In this powerful kickoff to the Stand Firm and Act Like Men series, Pastor Joby Martin challenges the cultural narrative and calls men back to their God-given purpose. From Genesis to 1 Corinthians 16:13–14, we see that manhood isn't about muscles, money, or machismo — it's about being a prophet, priest, king, provider, and protector. God designed men to work with purpose, obey with courage, and love with sacrifice. But sin has distorted that calling, leading to passivity, confusion, and brokenness. This message is a wake-up call to rise up, reject the lies, and return to the design of the Creator. If you've ever wondered what it really means to be a man of God, this sermon is for you. “Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.” – 1 Corinthians 16:13–14

Joseph's career was going along fairly well. He'd risen from servanthood to becoming, in a sense, the Chief Operating Officer of a huge estate. And then sex came. He wasn't even looking for it, but it came at him. Things may be going very well for you, but sex will come—and it's such a powerful force that how you handle it can make or break you. From Genesis 39, we can learn about what we're going to call lust. We learn something from what we see Potiphar's wife doing, we learn something from what we see Joseph doing, and we learn from what we see God doing.  Let's look at 1) how to understand lust, 2) how to handle it, and 3) how to heal it. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on March 12, 1995. Series: The Seven Deadly Sins. Scripture: Genesis 39:4-21.

When the seasons shift—especially from the vibrancy of summer to the stillness of fall—it can remind us of life’s own changes: loss, renewal, and waiting. In our daily prayer and devotional, Alicia Searl beautifully points us back to a truth we can depend on no matter what season we’re in: God is always faithful. We often wrestle with questions like, “What does it mean that God is faithful?” or “Am I faithful enough to Him?” But Scripture makes it clear that God’s faithfulness is not dependent on our performance—it’s rooted in His perfect, unchanging character. From Genesis to Revelation, His Word reveals that He never leaves, never breaks His promises, and never wavers in His love for His people. When life feels uncertain, we can look back at the way God has carried His people—Israel delivered from Egypt, the fulfillment of His promises through Jesus, and His ongoing presence through the Holy Spirit. His faithfulness extends from generation to generation (Psalm 100:5). Just as He sustained His people in the past, He will sustain us now. Fall invites us to slow down and reflect—to notice God’s fingerprints in both the falling leaves and the steadfast truth that He never changes. In this season, may we find comfort in His promises and gratitude for His unwavering faithfulness. Today's Bible Reading "Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments." – Deuteronomy 7:9 Key Takeaways God’s faithfulness is a cornerstone of His character—He cannot be anything but faithful. His covenant love continues through generations, no matter our changing circumstances. Remembering God’s past faithfulness strengthens our trust in His future promises. Every season, including the difficult ones, is a reminder of His unbroken presence and care. Let’s Pray Together O God, thank You for being faithful in every season. When my heart grows weary or doubts arise, remind me of Your steadfast love and promises. Help me to see Your hand at work, even when I can’t understand the path ahead. Reveal Your faithfulness to me in new ways this fall, and teach me to rest in the peace of knowing that You never fail. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
