TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, Hunter invites you to join him on March 14th, day 74 of our journey through the Bible. Together, we'll warm our hearts by the fire of God's love as we explore Deuteronomy chapters 25–27 and Galatians 5. Hunter guides us through laws of ancient Israel, the heart of worship, and the call to justice and honesty, then pivots to the powerful message of freedom in Christ—a freedom not to indulge in selfishness, but to walk by the Spirit, expressing faith through love. With thoughtful prayer and reflection, Hunter reminds us that we are invited, not to strive for perfection through law-keeping, but to participate in Christ's life through the Spirit. This episode closes with prayers for peace, guidance, and the encouragement to take next steps in faith, always grounded in the unwavering truth: you are deeply loved. So, grab your Bible and join Hunter for today's walk in the Word. TODAY'S DEVOTION: We often think of the sinful nature as all those rebellious, lawless acts—the things we know are out of bounds. And yes, Paul lists those behaviors, those outward acts that are clearly not of God. But let's not miss something subtle yet significant: sometimes, our sinful nature shows up not in lawlessness—but in how we try to justify ourselves through religious law-keeping. The church in Galatia was tempted to trust their own obedience as the measure of their righteousness before God, to rely on their ability to check every religious box. But Paul's message is unequivocal: keeping the law cannot make us righteous, because none of us can fulfill it perfectly. We all fall short. Even the most devout and well-intentioned efforts cannot bridge the gap that separates us from God's holiness. Instead of pointing us to ourselves and our striving, Paul points us to Jesus. He reminds us that our righteousness is found in Christ and in Christ alone. By the Spirit, we are drawn into the very life of Jesus—the truly Righteous One. In his life, death, and resurrection, Christ has done for us what we cannot do for ourselves. As we yield to his Spirit, we begin to walk in newness of life, not striving by our own strength, but participating in the goodness of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—the fruit of the Spirit. We lay down both our rebelliousness AND our pious attempts to justify ourselves. Instead, we fix our eyes on what God has done in Christ: how we are included, embraced, and equipped to walk in his ways, not by might, but by the Spirit. The Christian life is not a ladder of perfection we climb, but a life we receive by grace, step by step, trusting the Spirit to bring forth God's purposes in us. Let us hold to this freedom and refuse every yoke of self-made righteousness. Let's stop striving to earn what Christ has already given. May our lives be expressions of faith working through love, freed from the trap of performance, anchored instead in the love of God that claims us—full stop. This is the prayer for my soul. This is the prayer for my family—for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And this is the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to Daily Radio Bible for March 13th, 2025! In today's episode, Hunter guides us through day 73 of our journey in the scriptures, inviting us to gather with brothers and sisters from around the globe and warm our hearts by the fires of God's love. We read through Deuteronomy chapters 22–24 and conclude with Galatians 4, reflecting on the demands of the Law and the liberating grace found in Christ. Together, we'll explore themes of justice, compassion, and responsibility—from caring for neighbors and strangers, to the hard truths of Deuteronomy and the freeing message in Paul's letter to the Galatians. Hunter encourages us to set aside legalism, embrace our adoption as God's children, and rejoice in the freedom and forgiveness given to us. We'll finish with heartfelt prayers, a reminder of the importance of community, and gratitude for the partners who make this podcast possible. So take a moment to pause, join in the journey, and let the message of God's love and joy renew your spirit today. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Set Free Many of us have not been free, and many of us have been sentimental legalists. You know, we flatter ourselves and think that we are better and more righteous than we really are. And that's why Paul says in verse 21, "Tell me, you who want to live under the law, do you know what the law actually says?" And the answer to that question would be no. The demands of the Law are impossible. It is downright hard to read sometimes. Breaking the Law warrants death. And if you want to get sobered up to the demands of the Law and the judgment due us because of it, you do not have to go much further than our reading in Deuteronomy today. So, let us do our best to ditch that sentimental, self-righteous fantasy that we are somehow able to pull this thing off, because we're not. Holiness is so far out of reach of my flesh that I'd sooner turn into a unicorn than a saint if it were up to my effort to be holy. But thanks be to God, the right standing that I couldn't achieve has been achieved and purchased for me. By the one and only man, Christ Jesus himself. He did achieve this spotless life. His sacrifice of death for people like you and me has not only set us free from the penalty of sin, but he has given us his Spirit so that we can live this life now in him. He has made us his children. We've been adopted. This whole glorious transaction creates a new desire within us and a new cry within us that says, "Abba, Father! Father, you, not I." There is new life and there is real freedom. But don't be fooled into sentimental, legalistic, powerless living. Instead, embrace your sonship. Wake up to the power that now resides in you, the Holy Spirit. Rejoice daily that you are forgiven, that you've been made holy. There's nothing that you've done to achieve that. Allow your eyes to be drawn to the glorious grace that has been given to you in Christ. There's only one glorious man who lived the righteous life, and he lived it for all of us in order that we all might be found in him. The Christian life is impossible apart from Christ, but in Christ, all things are possible. So let's live free today. Let's live in him today, because that is where we are. And the prayer of my own heart is that I will see it. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible with your host and Bible reading coach, Hunter. In today's episode for March 12th, we continue our journey through the pages of Scripture, exploring Deuteronomy chapters 19–21 and Galatians chapter 3. Together, we'll unpack powerful and challenging passages—cities of refuge, justice and war in ancient Israel, and the depths of human brokenness seen in Deuteronomy. Hunter helps us look honestly at these texts, reflecting on their darkness and how, through Christ, God brings redemption and new life. As we move into Galatians, we'll be reminded that faith, not the law, brings us into God's promise and family. The episode concludes with heartfelt prayers for peace, unity, and love, and a reflection on the podcast's journey as a daily time of Scripture, prayer, and community. Join Hunter and listeners worldwide as we seek hope and strength in God's love, together—one step, one day at a time. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Is there anything in all Scripture as disturbing as what we've read today in the book of Deuteronomy? I'm not sure there is. In these passages, we see the curse of sin and the depths of darkness that our world has plunged into by our rebellion against God. Yet in Galatians, we see that in that darkness, God has come to us. There is a picture, a shadow of the promise, and that shadow is of a tree—a tree of cursing, a tree where the guilty are executed, a tree where Christ hangs vicariously for the whole human race. There he absorbs the sins of the world in order to free us from the dominion of sin. He breaks its power. He sets captives free. The brokenness we see in Deuteronomy—the war, the idolatry, the slaughter, the slavery—this in no way reflects the heart of God. This is a reflection of the heart of man. God concedes to the reality of the darkness of the human heart. God was in fact conspiring to bring an end to this evil by offering Christ as the atoning sacrifice for the sins of the world, for my sin, for the darkness in my own heart. Christ was hung on Calvary's tree so that I might never be. And Paul's admonition to those who trust in Christ is to keep trusting and never foolishly believe that somehow we can justify ourselves by going back to an old system that was only about concession and the hardness of our heart. It was never about making that heart new. It never had the power to make the world new, let alone my own heart. Paul reminds us that there was never forgiveness in the old path. There was never new life in that old tragic system. There was never the promise of peace on earth. Paul wants us to hold tightly to the cross of the gospel. It is offered to us not on the basis of the law, but on the basis of God's grace and his love, as seen clearly on the cross and seen clearly in the face of Jesus himself. In him, friends, we see the heart, the love, the grace, the mercy offered to the whole world and sinners like you and me. In Jesus, we see God reconciling the world to himself so that we might be set free, the whole world to himself. May we never be foolish enough to think that somehow it can be done in any other way, that somehow in our heart there is a way to be made right with God. The way of new life is not found in our heart. It's found in his, and that is a gift, and it's given to all. This is the truth of your being. You have a new heart. Now let us live in the way of our new being, with faith, hope, and love. That is the prayer that I have for my wife, for my daughters and my son. And that is the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you.

This is Christian Meditation for A Bigger Life – a time for you to relax your body and refocus your mind to experience the reality of God's presence. I'm Dave Cover. I want to help you with Christian meditation where you can break through all the distractions and experience God's presence through biblically guided imagination.  Acts 17:28 NIV “For in him we live and move and have our being.” Jesus said this… Luke 11:13 ESV “If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” Sometimes the Bible refers to the Holy Spirit as “the Spirit of Jesus” (Acts 16:7), or “the Spirit of Christ” (Rom. 8:9). It's by the Holy Spirit that Jesus is present in you and with you. Ephesians 3:16-17 NIV “I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.” 1 Corinthians 12:4, 7, 11 NIV “There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. …Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. …All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.”  Galatians 5:22-23 ESV “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.”   This is what it actually means to be “holy.” When you look at all the verses about the Holy Spirit in the Bible, one way to think of who he is is not just the Holy Spirit, but the Healing Spirit. The more you become aware of God's healing Spirit in your inner being – the more you pay attention to his presence and his leading – the more YOU will be transformed into the REAL YOU that God intended when he created you (2 Cor. 3:18).

Continuing the March focus on the fruit of the Spirit—Faith—this session explores faith not only as conviction, but as faithfulness: the quiet, enduring consistency that proves trust in God over time.Drawing from Galatians 5:22, Matthew 25:21, Luke 16:10, and 1 Corinthians 4:2, Overseer Azizah Morrison teaches that the Greek word pistis includes fidelity, constancy, and trustworthiness. Faith is not complete until conviction becomes consistency and belief becomes steady obedience.This lesson examines why heaven responds to faithfulness in small assignments, how hidden consistency shapes spiritual weight, and why greater responsibility often follows proven reliability.The accompanying prayer asks God to form steadfast hearts—believers who remain true in prayer, obedience, and daily responsibility until what has been entrusted becomes increase.

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the March 11th, 2025 episode of the Daily Radio Bible! Today, Hunter, your faithful Bible reading coach, invites you to journey through the pages of scripture, exploring Deuteronomy chapters 16 to 18, Psalm 38, and Galatians 2. We'll reflect on the ancient festivals and laws given to God's people, David's heartfelt prayer of repentance, and Paul's passionate reminder that we are made right with God by faith—not by the law. Hunter guides listeners through these passages, delving into the message of God's grace, the danger of fear-based religion, and the radical love that Christ has for us all. The episode also includes a time of prayer, words of encouragement, and a gentle reminder: you are deeply loved by God. So settle in, open your heart, and join your brother Hunter for another soul-nourishing time in the Daily Radio Bible. TODAY'S DEVOTION: The law can't save us, but the law will humble us. The law instructs us. It teaches us our need for God's grace. That is its purpose. It was never meant to save us. Peter would lose sight of this. He was swayed by James' friends. They were people who trafficked in fear and legalism, control. Peter was generous-hearted toward these new Gentile believers in Antioch. He was eating with them. Sharing his life with them until this group shows up. They tapped into the fear-based brain that tries to pacify God with piety and performance by pretending. They conjured up a storm of fear that grabbed a hold of Peter's heart and spread out into Barnabas's heart. Thankfully, Paul is relentless with the gospel, and he verbally slapped some grace into Peter. Even though this was no doubt an embarrassing rebuke for Peter, I'm sure in the end he was glad for it. Living in fear is no way to live. Fear is infectious. It's like a virus. It spreads. And in this case, it spread even to Barnabas, who is known as the son of encouragement. But God's grace is infectious too, and this is an infection we don't want to cure. We need to recognize our need to be renewed in the message of the gospel all the time. If Peter and Barnabas needed to be renewed in the message of God's grace, how much more do you and I need to be renewed in it? That old religion of fear shows up all the time in our lives, so we need to be ready with the gospel, ready to remind ourselves that the gospel is not about fear, condemnation, performance. It's not about any of that. Galatians 2:20 tells us what the gospel is: My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me. See, there's grace, and there is the gospel. The Son of God loves us and gives himself for us, and not just us, but for the whole world. Christ undid what Adam had done. He assumed humanity on his shoulders on the cross, and there we find ourselves in him. Because of the vicarious life of Christ, Paul says we are in him on the cross. He says it plainly here: I have been crucified with Christ. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all shall be made alive. Paul holds to this gospel truth. In Christ, Paul sees the completed work of God on behalf of all. And that, my friend, is such good news. It is the antidote to fear-based religion. It is the pathway to freedom, generosity, and love. So let's live in that truth today. What Christ has done for you, what he's done for Gentiles and Jews, what he's done for the world. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul today, that I will see the immense magnitude of the love of God for all, that I'll rest in that, and that I will know its joy. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son, and that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near.

In this episode, Mark and Cindy explore Galatians 2:1–10, when Pau explains his return to Jerusalem fourteen years after his conversion. Guided not by human pressure but by divine revelation, Paul meets privately with respected leaders like Peter, James, and John to confirm that the gospel he preached to the Gentiles—salvation through Christ alone, free from the requirements of Jewish law—was the true message of grace. Through the example of Titus, a Greek believer who was not compelled to be circumcised, the episode highlights the early church's struggle against those who sought to add legal burdens to the gospel. As we walk through this passage, we'll see how Paul courageously defends the freedom believers have in Christ, preserves the truth of the gospel for future generations, and demonstrates the unity of God's mission—one gospel going to both Jew and Gentile, with a shared calling to remember the poor and live obediently in response to the grace of God.

And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. Luke 21:33 (KJV) 33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. Matthew 24:35 (KJV) 35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. Hebrews 4:12 (KJV) 12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Mark 4:26-27 (KJV) 26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; 27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. Proverbs 3:5 (KJV) 5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. Psalm 37:5 (KJV) 5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. Galatians 5:22-23 (KJV) 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Romans 2:11 (KJV) 11 For there is no respect of persons with God. Romans 2:11 (AMP) 11 For God shows no partiality [undue favor or unfairness; with Him one man is not different from another].

Forgiveness is one of the most difficult commands Jesus gives—and one of the most freeing. When someone deeply wounds us, the natural response is to hold tightly to the hurt. We replay the moment, rehearse the injustice, and quietly hope that somehow the person responsible will feel the weight of what they did. But unforgiveness slowly becomes its own prison. Galatians 5:1 reminds us that Christ set us free so we would no longer live in bondage. Yet when we hold onto bitterness, we place a yoke back on our own shoulders. The offense may have been real and painful, but the burden of carrying resentment can slowly consume our hearts. Forgiveness does not mean excusing wrongdoing or pretending the pain never happened. It does not mean that justice is ignored or that trust is instantly restored. Instead, forgiveness means releasing the right to hold someone’s offense over them and entrusting justice to God. Jesus demonstrated this ultimate act of mercy on the cross. Even as He was being crucified, He prayed for those who harmed Him. Through His sacrifice, our sins were forgiven completely—removed as far as the east is from the west. When we remember how much we have been forgiven, it reshapes how we approach the forgiveness of others. Unforgiveness isolates us from the freedom Christ intends for us. Bitterness quietly grows, affecting our peace, our relationships, and even our fellowship with God. But when we release that burden—sometimes slowly, sometimes painfully—we make room for healing. The Holy Spirit empowers us to forgive even when it feels impossible. Forgiveness is not a feeling we wait for; it is a step of obedience we choose. And when we choose it, we begin to experience the freedom Christ died to give us. Main Takeaways Unforgiveness creates emotional and spiritual bondage. Forgiveness releases the burden of bitterness and resentment. Forgiving does not excuse wrongdoing but entrusts justice to God. Christ’s sacrifice reminds us how deeply we have been forgiven. The Holy Spirit empowers believers to forgive even deep wounds.

Paul was a slave, and he didn't even know it. And God came and set Paul free—not by offering a doctrinal formula for him to learn, or by giving him some new insight into scripture even after all his deep studying. No, Paul says, "I received my message from no human source. No one taught me. Instead, I received it by direct revelation from Jesus Christ." It was God revealing God to Paul. And, friend, that's how it is for all of us. Maybe you did hear a message, maybe you read a book or found yourself opening up to the gospel over time. Those things do happen. But underneath it all, whenever there is true awakening, it is God himself revealing himself—opening eyes, removing the scales, freeing us to see who he is and who we are in him. Chains break, and lies fall away. We begin to see that we were blind—not because of lack of effort or knowledge, but because only Christ can truly open our eyes. Paul's story reminds us: before his encounter with Christ, his vision of God was shaped by lies and misconceptions. He believed in a God obsessed with theological purity, one who would even commission people to kill in His name. But that vision wasn't true; God is not like that. The real God, revealed in Jesus, is the God who values and loves people. He is full of grace and truth and so much grander than our categories or our obsessions with being right. Like Paul, it is only when Jesus reveals himself to us—breaking through our blindness—that we can come to know the God of love and grace who lays down his life for us. This revelation sets us free to live a new kind of life—a life where the chains of deception and shame fall away, and we begin to walk in the light and love of God. The journey of faith is about seeing more of who Jesus really is, and as we do, we are made new. That is my prayer: that my eyes would be opened more and more to the glorious love of our Lord Jesus. That's the prayer I have for myself, for my family, and for you. May your eyes see the true God revealed in Christ, and may that vision change everything. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

Most Christians are living under an agreement that's already been replaced. The Old Covenant was performance-based. Your standing with God went up and down based on what you did or didn't do. But Jesus came and changed the operating agreement. The New Covenant means your relationship with God is based on HIS performance, not yours. In this video I break down: Why relating to God through performance means you never actually experience the relationship The difference between real faith and transactional faith (and how to tell which one you're operating in) Why "if it be thy will" can actually breed doubt and block your receiving What it means to stay on "Faith Street" until your answer arrives How a poverty mindset shows up in your prayers without you even realizing it What 1 Timothy 6:17 says about God's nature that most preachers skip right over How to ask big, receive big, and stop limiting God with small faith This is the foundation of everything I teach. If you get this, everything else clicks.

As we look at chapter 3 in a longer episode; Paul uses very strong words to describe the believers character and it may seem wrong for Paul to use certain words, but let's keep that critical thinking in tact. Paul then starts to remind them of the beauty of the effect of The Spirit early on in their walk and how they have forsaken it for a lie. Then near the end Paul explains clearly the right understanding of the old testament and how the promise God gave Abraham is actually about them.josiahmovius12@yahoo.comBlue Letter Bible Galatians 3 Greek manuscript:https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/gal/3/26/t_conc_1094001David Guzik commentary on Galatians 3:https://www.blueletterbible.org/comm/guzik_david/study-guide/galatians/galatians-3.cfmBible Portal website with free commentaries and other great stuff:https://www.bibleportal.com/commentariesWilliam MacDonald comolete commentary:https://www.amazon.com/Believers-Bible-Commentary-William-MacDonald/dp/0718076850/ref=sr_1_1?adgrpid=1346902315732159&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.5YBJrMaik1tVyKrsUBkp5beO-UVsdrEnSzPpOpQKwQI2uu87MH8NHhV4xvfqyO7D9cHB1DIkhBSL7BQh2BMQBAda9W8eCRKsS0g6z6VAHN_H9oJzAdrCT1aLSCPOBvGmubVAOMhQ7AgoYtBxDQp9sgEI1TGpTsX8dCGqoopqQXs_4_gC59oQ1KmWdCP3teXIusCDkwK8dn6qWV7so3r8Sw_Ohe129RFgZLAbe87wOFE.5DdWCe-ecjHRdsp_XnIVu7bYjfoPb1oy2tym55BGs-k&dib_tag=se&hvadid=84181633360703&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=104697&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvtargid=kwd-84181754202013:loc-190&hydadcr=8268_13501962&keywords=william+macdonald+commentary&mcid=b6f0af11d1a234faa8ed3a5f01c4c219&msclkid=2474c0521f3915989cc9a9cc1d84a704&qid=1771963072&sr=8-1Craig Keener Bible background commentary:https://www.christianbook.com/bible-background-commentary-testament-second-edition/craig-keener/9780830824786/pd/824786?en=bing-pla&event=SHOP&kw=academic-40-60|824786&p=1179517&p=1234080&dv=c&cb_src=google&cb_typ=shopping&cb_cmp=590197337&cb_adg=1232553569686167&cb_kyw=&snav=GMERCH&msclkid=4a95bc36a5801f78ce1ed5a8a60690c3&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=B_Shopping Other - Top Products&utm_term=4580634180756640&utm_content=Other top productsFor John MacArthurs sermon type in “The starting point of sanctification” preached 8 years ago.

This is Christian Meditation for A Bigger Life – a time for you to relax your body and refocus your mind to experience the reality of God's presence. I'm Dave Cover. I want to help you with Christian meditation where you can break through all the distractions and experience God's presence through biblically guided imagination.  Acts 17:25 NIV “...He himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.” Job 12:10 (NIV) “In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.” Job 34:14-15 NIV “If it were his intention and he withdrew his spirit and breath, all humanity would perish together and mankind would return to the dust.” A very common source of anxiety is our drive for people‘s approval. Galatians 1:10 (NIV) “Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.” Often our anxiety comes from our worries about what others think of us. And that's only been amplified many times in the age of social media. We use the term, “being a people pleaser“ – the fact that we use that term negatively shows how we know this instinctively – that living your life to please people will always take a toll on you being and becoming the person you really want to be. And more importantly it will take a toll on becoming the person God wants you to be. But I've always found comfort in what the apostle Paul says here. It puts my fear of what people think of me, or my always trying to win the approval of certain people, back in its proper perspective. It puts the horse back before the cart so to speak.

Hope for Right Now Podcast–Desert Bloom, A Lenten Journey: Love Hurts While Walking with Purpose Founder Lisa takes time to write our next women's Bible study, Laura Phelps welcomes guest Caitlin Bean to the Hope for Right Now podcast for a seven-week series: Desert Bloom, A Lenten Journey. Lent is a time of sacrifice, preparation, and spiritual waiting—a time to prepare our hearts for Easter through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. For many of us, it has become about exterior performance, a “holy checklist” we begin on Ash Wednesday and struggle to sustain for 40 days. And preparation? Who has time for that? We are exhausted—after all, it was just Christmas! If this is how your heart feels at the start of Lent, this series is for you—offering practical encouragement, Scripture reflections, and simple ways to experience a more meaningful, peace-filled Lent. In today's episode, Laura and Caitlin talk about waiting in dormancy and why God's timing is perfect, despite circumstances screaming the opposite. Open your Heart to our key Scripture. John 3:16: For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son. Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode. Romans 5:8: But God shows his love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. Mark 9:43–48: If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed than with two hands to go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire. And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life crippled than with two feet to be thrown into Gehenna. And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. Better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into Gehenna, where “their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.” 1 Corinthians 10:31: So, whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God. Isaiah 60:22: I am the Lord; in its time I will hasten it. Deuteronomy 32:4: The Rock, his work is perfect; for all his ways are justice. Galatians 6:9: Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not lose heart. Romans 4:20–21: No distrust made him waver concerning the promises of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised. Genesis 37:29: When Reuben returned to the pit and saw that Joseph was not in the pit, he tore his clothes. Job 1:20: Then Job arose, and tore his robe, and shaved his head, and fell upon the ground and worshiped. Invite Him in with this episode's questions for reflection.

Today's Promise: Galatians 3:26 In this episode, we explore a powerful question that can transform your entire walk with God. Do you see God as your Father… or as your boss? Many believers live as though Christianity comes with a long job description. The try to earn God's approval through effort, rules, and religious performance. But the message of the gospel tells a different story.   Drawing from Galatians 3:26, this episode reminds us that salvation is not about what we do for God, but about what Jesus has already done for us. Through faith in Christ, you are not merely an employee in God's service—you are His child. His righteousness covers you, His standing becomes your standing, and you are welcomed into God's presence as a beloved son or daughter.   Discover what it truly means to be "in Christ," why the "Jesus plus" mentality steals joy, and how embracing your identity as God's child can bring new intimacy in prayer and new confidence in your faith.

We all know the Fruit of the Spirit sounds great on Sunday. But by Monday? That fruit can feel really far away. In this episode, we get real about what it actually looks like to walk in love, patience, peace, and self-control when life gets hard -- a difficult client, a team member who dropped the ball, or a season that's just heavy. This one's practical, honest, and for every woman trying to run her business and her life with faith in the middle of it.Scriptures Referenced"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control."— Galatians 5:22-23 (NIV)"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." — Proverbs 15:1 (NIV)"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."— Galatians 6:9 (NIV)"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." — Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV)"I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."— John 15:5 (NIV)Key TakeawaysThe Fruit of the Spirit grows -- you can't force it. Your job is to stay connected to the source and let it flow from there.Love and kindness in business doesn't mean being a pushover. You can hold your boundary AND lead with a gentle tone.Before you reply to that frustrating email or message, pause. Even five minutes changes everything.Your standards don't drop just because someone else's did. Faithfulness is showing up with integrity even when others don't.Joy is not the same as happiness. You can be in a hard season and still have deep-down peace that God's got you.You don't try harder -- you abide deeper. Stay connected to Jesus, and the fruit takes care of itself.Reflection QuestionsTake a few minutes with these this week -- in your journal, on a walk, or just sitting quietly with your coffee.Where is it hardest right now for you to walk in patience or self-control -- at work, at home, or somewhere else?Is there a situation you've been reacting to instead of responding to? What would it look like to pause first?What does your time with God look like right now? Is the root strong enough to produce the fruit you need?Who in your life or business needs you to lead with gentleness this week, even when it's hard?One Thing to Try This WeekPick one relationship or situation that's been draining you -- a client, a team member, a hard season -- and before you engage with it this week, spend two minutes in prayer first. Just two minutes. Hand it to God before you handle it yourself. See what changes.CONNECT WITH JAN:Here are all the best places and FREE stuff

Galatians 5:22 and 23 offers us a list of qualities and characteristics that God will give us. Then, as parents, can become a blessing to our children.But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. (NLT) Picture a fruit tree … whatever fruit is your favorite … when that tree begins to show the fruit it grows on its branches, does it then use that for its own food? Of course not. The fruit of the tree is not for the tree, but for those who can take part in its maturity and enjoy its blessing. Does picking the fruit to eat hurt the tree? No. Two reasons why … that's the purpose of the tree and it can grow more.The same concept is what God's fruit produces and provides in us—our maturity and growth that blesses others, but most especially our own kids.Listen to The Message Bible's take on this same passage:But what happens when we live God's way? He brings gifts into our lives, much the same way that fruit appears in an orchard—things like affection for others, exuberance about life, serenity. We develop a willingness to stick with things, a sense of compassion in the heart, and a conviction that a basic holiness permeates things and people. We find ourselves involved in loyal commitments, not needing to force our way in life, able to marshal and direct our energies wisely.So, are you strong in kindness but struggle in self-control? Good at expressing love but battle being at peace within your heart? Take a few minutes to do a fruit inspection with God. Let Him show you anywhere you need to submit to Him. Keep in mind, none of us can produce this fruit on our own.Let's pray together: “Heavenly Father, help me to love, to find joy, to allow peace, to be patient, be kind, show goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and please help me to have self-control by giving control of everything to You. As above, so below.”

This weekend, we'll continue our exploration of the role of the Holy Spirit in our journey of transformation into the image of Jesus as we dig into Galatians 5:19-26. We'll see how Paul brings his conversation with the Galatians back around to simple gospel clarity.

Send a textI once spoke with a woman who had spent years in a church a full of rules and regulations. When she finally moved to a church that simply taught Scripture without adding man‑made religious rules, she told me she felt something surprising:  FEAR!Those rules, she said, had given her a sense of security. When they were gone, she felt exposed. I also remember a teenage girl I once met at a youth club who reacted the opposite way.  When I told her we are not under the law, she said, “Great — that means I can lie to my mother, I can go out and party, and tell her I'm here at the youth club.”  And that's the problem. Whenever Christians hear that we're justified by faith apart from any legalistic requirements, some people panic. “Won't that give me a license to sin? And some say great, that gives me a license that means I can do whatever I want?” So, if we are not under the Mosaic law, what guides our conduct?That is exactly what Paul answers for us today in the second half of Galatians 5…..RISE RADIOEach week we discuss some of the most important issues we face in our society today.Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showFollow and support me on Patreon.

What if the biggest danger to your faith isn't opposition… but apathy?In this message, we explore Jesus' warning to the church in Revelation that had all the right beliefs but had slowly drifted from their first love. Many people today aren't angry at God or rejecting faith, they're just spiritually asleep.This message looks at what the Bible calls fervent faith, a life that stretches toward people with love and reaches toward God in prayer.If you've ever felt spiritually stuck, distracted, or distant from God, this message will help you rediscover what it means to wake your heart up again.Bible References: Revelation 2:1–5; Romans 12:11; 1 Peter 4:8; James 5:16; 2 Samuel 6:14; 2 Samuel 6:22; Galatians 6:8; Psalm 51:1–19

UNCHAINED: Freedom From The Flesh, Galatians 4 w/Darren Tyler

In this episode, Pastor Tommy delivers a high-impact message declaring that "enough is enough," calling believers to activate their faith for divine health and a spiritual awakening across the globe, specifically within the historic borders of Persia and Israel (Psalm 122:6). He reminds the church that as we approach the prophetic return of Christ and the millennial reign of perfect health, every "bold Bible believer" is commissioned to have a ministry of healing, shifting from "talking sickness" to boldly "talking health" (Proverbs 12:18, Mark 11:23). Through a revelation of being a new creature who is redeemed from the curse (2 Corinthians 5:17, Galatians 3:13), Pastor Tommy encourages listeners to use their faith to trigger miracles, just as Jesus healed all who were oppressed (Acts 10:38, Matthew 9:35). This message focuses on a core foundation of scriptures to anchor your health: 2 Corinthians 5:17, Proverbs 4:20-22, Psalm 107:20, Jeremiah 30:17, Isaiah 53:5, Matthew 8:17, 1 Peter 2:24, Galatians 3:13, 3 John 2, Joel 3:10, Psalm 91:16, Exodus 15:26, Exodus 23:25-26, and Mark 16:15-18.

Pastor Marcus Lane continues our Junk Drawer Jesus sermon series and group book study with a message on The Ruler. In this sermon, Pastor Marcus breaks down how Paul in Galatians 3 describes the foolishness of the Ruler, the curse of the Ruler, and the freedom from the Ruler.    Digging Deeper Questions:  When have you felt the closest to God? What was the circumstance surrounding that sensation and how would you describe that feeling to others?    In times of difficulty and struggle, where do you go, spiritually? Do you get angry with God, or do you blame yourself?   How open are you to the idea that our performance, and our circumstances, have no bearing on our proximity to God and his attitude toward us?

11am Series: Free in Christ - The Spirit-filled Life Galatians 6:7–18

The Galatians didn't abandon Scripture… they misinterpreted it. And that one mistake distorted the gospel. In Galatians 4:21–31, Paul shows that while the Law has its place, it cannot justify you, and those who try to earn their standing before God end up in bondage. The Holy Spirit illuminates Scripture, but only when we let the text speak for itself instead of making it echo what we already believe.

Message from Rev. Dr. John Yates III on March 8, 2026

Move from striving and isolation to a relationship with Jesus that transforms everyday moments.Stay connected, learn to let go of control, and discover how your changed life can positively impact those around you.

Executive Pastor Brent Pennington preaches a powerful word about freedom from addiction. He boldly reminded us that "It is for freedom that Christ set us free!" (Galatians 5:1)

“From that time Jesus began to point out to His disciples that it was necessary for Him to go to Jerusalem and to suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and to be killed, and to be raised up on the third day. And yet Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “God forbid it, Lord! This shall never happen to You!” But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me; for you are not setting your mind on God's purposes, but men's.” Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.For what good will it do a person if he gains the whole world, but forfeits his soul? Or what will a person give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and will then repay every person according to his deeds. “Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.” Matthew 16:21-28 NASB How do I answer His call? Die to self “Deny yourself” “For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.” Colossians 3:3 NASB “I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.” Galatians 2:20 NASB “If you live in accordance with the flesh, you will die; but if, by the spirit, you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.” Romans 8:13 NTFE 2. Die to my agenda “Take up your cross” “For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.” Matthew 16:23 ESV “To fulfill your mission will require you to abandon your agenda and accept God's agenda for your life. You cant just tack it on to all the other things you would like to do with your life…You yield your rights, expectations, dreams, plans, and ambitions to Him…You hand God a blank sheet with your name signed at the bottom and tell Him to fill in the details.” Rick Warren 3. Die daily “Follow Me” Choose sacrifice over selfish ambitions Choose servanthood over power Choose risk over comfort “Let us often ask ourselves whether our Christianity costs us anything.” JC Ryle 4. Die to the temporal “Lose your life for Me” “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:19-21 NASB

God has invited you into His family. He went beyond simple compassion for you; He didn't just feel bad for you. He loved you so much that He made a way for you to become a son or daughter alongside His son Jesus. As Pastor Dion continues to dive into the book of Galatians in today's message, he will remind you of the extreme grace that has been extended to you. All you have to do is believe and accept it, and through Christ, you can be made righteous and find belonging in God's house.

Pastor Jon Verwey 42 “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them if a large millstone were hung around their neck and they were thrown into the sea. 43 If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out. [44] 45 And if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into hell. [46] 47 And if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, 48 where “ ‘the worms that eat them do not die, and the fire is not quenched.' 49 Everyone will be salted with fire. 50 “Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can you make it salty again? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with each other.” — Mark 9:42–50 NIV Does what I am doing move me toward Jesus or away from Him? Does what I am doing make me more like Jesus or less? Everyone will be salted with fire. v. 49 Being “salted with fire” happens when we offer ourselves to Jesus by submitting to Him and His ways. Then the trials of life become a fire that strengthens, purifies, and preserves us instead of destroying us. …let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won't be doing what your sinful nature craves. — Galatians 5:16 NLT But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. — Galatians 5:22–23 NLT Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with each other. v. 50b And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another…— Hebrews 10:25 NLT “The Church is the Church only when it exists for others.” — Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can you make it salty again? v. 50a Don't manage sin—fight it, so that we can be a purified people who bring the life-giving presence of Jesus to the world.

Pastor Gary returned to our Established series on the Fruit of the Spirit by focusing on the last two expressions in Galatians 5:22–23: meekness and self‑control. He began by honestly naming how common our struggle with control is, especially when our past includes trauma, abandonment, shame, or deep insecurity. Many controlling behaviors are learned coping mechanisms to keep chaos away and to avoid being hurt again. But control is ultimately an illusion: the more we try to control people and circumstances, the more out of control we actually become.

Galatians

By Thomas Randle - The epistle of James was labeled an epistle of straw by Martin Luther. What led him to make such an extraordinary statement? Does the epistle of James contradict what the apostle Paul wrote in Romans and Galatians or does it complement them? When James said that “faith without works is dead” was he
