“Just as the weeds are sorted out and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the world. The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will remove from his Kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. And the angels will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in their Father’s Kingdom. Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand!” (Matthew 13:40–43 NLT-SE)

The 10 Commandments E17 —  We just finished exploring the 10 Commandments, or the 10 Words as they're called in the Bible. In community, we've sought God's wisdom in these 10 Words, first through Jon and Tim's conversations and then with your questions in the Q+R episode! And this communal reading approach also extends to how we make videos with our animation studio. The artists start with a blank slate, wrestle with ideas from the podcast recordings, and then formulate a plan for how to make it all come to life through animation. So what is their process? How do we move an idea from podcast to script to video? In this special behind-the-scenes episode, Jon talks with a few artists from our animation studio about making the 10 Commandments video series.

We Believe | Genesis 1:1 | Drew Marchesani

IN DTWOL... TRANSFORMATION- In this dive, we discover that biblical transformation is far more than behavior modification—it is the supernatural disciple-making workmanship of the only true God, who lovingly redirects our affections, conforms us to the image of Jesus, and faithfully continues His work through every trial, triumph, and season of life. Together, we'll explore why lasting change begins in the heart, why our greatest affection must increasingly become Jesus Himself, and how every circumstance becomes another opportunity for the Great Transformer to reveal His workmanship. The question is no longer, how can I change myself? but rather, what is the only true God accomplishing in and through the transforming of me?Key verses: Ephesians 2:10; Philippians 2:13; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Romans 12:2; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Ezekiel 36:26–27; Philippians 3:7–8; Hebrews 12:1–2.

Ephesians 3:14-21 When have you decorated a room? The Person of the Father Who is God the Father? The Riches of the Father What does the Father give us? The Enjoyment of the Father Why does the Father give this?

Today we explore the first article of the Apostles' Creed: I believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth. Some are concerned that  the use of the word Father is less inclusive and depicts a stern, sterile relationship. The original word was Abba in Aramaic; which was papa or daddy - signifying deep intimacy and trust. Some also question why an almighty creator would allow the evils that we see in today's world. Another way to frame this question might be why do humans allow the evils to continue? Today's message is from Pastor Tania. Our Gospel comes from Luke, Chapter 12, Verses 22-31, and our scripture reading is Genesis 1, verses 24-27. Contemporary Lutheran Affirmation of Faith: We trust in God, the Creator of all that is, of galaxies and forests, oceans and deserts, creatures and every human being. God speaks life into existence, calls creation good, and remains faithful to the world God has made.We belive that the earth is no ours to possess, but a gift to recieve with gratitude, to share with justice and tend with humility. We trust in Jesus Christ, Godsl living Word among us, born into this world, sharing our joys and suffering. In his life, he proclaimed God's kingdom of mercy. In his death, he entered the depths of human pain. In his resurrection, he opened the way to new life for all creation. Through Christ, we are forgiven, freed from the need to justify ourselves, and called into lives of faith, hope and love.  We trust in the Holy Spirit, present and active in the church and in the world. Gathering people into communities of grace, awakening faith, renewing hears, and equipping us for service. The Spirit moves among all peoples, inspires care for our neighbors, and calls us to seek justice, make peace and protect the flourishing of creation. We trust that God has not abandoned the world, and is even now making all things new. Therefore we live in hope: for the healing of the earth, for reconciliation among people, for the renewal of the church, and for the resurrection life promised in Christ. To God- Creator, Son, and Holy Spirit, be glory now and forever. Amen.

The 10 Commandments Hyperlink Episode (E15) — Sometimes at the close of a series, we'll dig through the podcast archives to find clips that discuss similar ideas from a different perspective. In this 10 Commandments series, we explored how trusting in God's wisdom leads to true life and flourishing, while building lives on our own terms often leads to pain. So in this hyperlink episode, we'll listen to three clips that explore this theme further. First, Jon and Tim break down the literary structure of the stories surrounding the 10 Commandments, which highlight humanity's reluctance to wait on God's commands. Second, Jon, Tim, and former BibleProject scholar Carissa Quinn look at how the golden calf story in Exodus 32 relates to the 10 Commandments. And finally, Jon, Tim, and Carissa discuss how all of the Bible's poems, narratives, laws, and letters are wisdom for us.

in DTWOL... Grace. In this dive, we explore the amazing grace of the only true God—not merely as the means of salvation, but as the divine atmosphere in which discipleship occurs. Together, we examine how God's grace redeems, forgives, transforms, sustains, and produces the evidence of His supernatural spiritual workmanship in the lives of His disciples. Through Scripture, personal testimony, and the timeless truths found within His Amazing Grace, we discover that grace is far more than unmerited favor; it is God's active power working in and through His disciples. Join us as we consider the depth of God's love, the reality of spiritual transformation, and the grace that faithfully leads every one of His disciples home.

David Pinkerton - God the Father by Northwest Church of Christ

Sun. June 21, 2026: "Fathers, let's imitate God the Father" - Rev. Anthony Hoangphan, Parochial Vicar

God The Father - Candice Sello | 21/6/2026 by Every Nation Rosebank

Father's Day stirs up different emotions for everyone, but no earthly experience of fatherhood can fully capture who God is as a Father. Scripture describes Him as accessible, affectionate, authoritative, and atoning. From walking with Adam and Eve in the garden to sending His Son to make a way back to Him, God has never stopped pursuing His children. He is not a distant creator waiting to be impressed. He is a Father who runs toward us, who wants to spend time with us, and who has already paid the highest price to bring us home. The whole arc of the Bible is one continuous love story between a Father and His children. The only question left is whether we will accept it.

The 10 Commandments E13 — We've arrived at the 10th and final commandment, which feels very different from all the ones that came before it: “Do not desire … anything that belongs to your neighbor.” While most translations use the word “covet,” we simply find khamad, which is the general Hebrew word for desire. All the other commandments involve observable actions, but desire is entirely internal. So why does God warn us about desiring things that belong to our neighbor? In this episode, Jon and Tim finish the 10 Commandments by showing how this command works as an undercurrent beneath all the others.

In DTWOL... ACTIVE Participant? We'll dive into what it truly means to be an ACTIVE Participant in the only true God's redemptive plan for fallen humanity. Through the gospel, the ministry of God the Holy Spirit, and the transforming power of God's living and active Word, we discover that discipleship is far more than attendance, observation, or agreement—it is active participation in the workmanship of God. From the pilot's door to the driver's door, from the home to the workplace, every disciple has been specifically made, deliberately purposed, and lovingly placed to proclaim Him where ABBA has planted you. Most people may not understand all the theology, but they can surely see the evidence of God's supernatural disciple-making workmanship as His fruit becomes visible in the lives of His disciples. The question is not whether we are participating in something—but whether we are actively participating with the only true God in His eternal purpose.Key verses: 1 Corinthians 9:23-25, Romans 1:16-17, Romans 10:14-15, Philippians 2:13, Galatians 5:22-23.

Luke continues in writing to this most excellent Theophilus by recording the baptism of Jesus by John the baptist in the Jordan river. We are in Luke 3:21-22.Jesus was praying. While He was praying, God the Holy Spirit descended upon Him and God the Father spoke to Him. He was commending Jesus as His Son, and saying, "In you I am well pleased."Here is a revelation of the Triune God. Here is the One true God revealed in three persons. Jesus the Son of God, the Holy Spirit of God and God the Father Himself. The tri-unity of God is revealed here in Scripture.Jesus is God's real man on earth being the beloved Son of the Father, the God-Man, sinless and perfect.Let's turn to Luke 3:21 with Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

Many Catholics call God "Father," but few truly experience the depth of His fatherly love in their daily lives. Dr. Sri explores how Scripture—especially the opening chapters of Genesis—reveals the heart of our Heavenly Father: a Father who delights in us, provides for us, sees our deepest needs, protects us, blesses us, and invites us to share in His mission. _ _ For full shownotes, visit Ascensionpress.com/Allthingscatholic, or text ALLTHINGSCATHOLIC to 33-777 for weekly shownotes sent to your inbox.

In DTWOL... What ABBA Does! We'll be diving into how many people unknowingly measure the only true God through the lens of broken earthly relationships, wounds, disappointments, and painful experiences that could distort their understanding of who ABBA truly is. In this dive, we examine what Scripture reveals about the faithful workmanship of ABBA—how He sees, remembers, rescues, adopts, disciplines, transforms, forgives, restores, and continually works within the lives of His disciples. Through biblical truth, personal testimony, and practical discipleship, we discover that ABBA is not unjust so as to forget the labor of love demonstrated toward His name but remains faithful to complete the workmanship He began. Join us as we explore remembering not only what ABBA has done throughout Scripture, but also what He continues to do today in the lives of those who love and trust Him. God's Word: Key verses: Hebrews 6:10; Romans 8:15; Philippians 1:6; Psalm 77:11; Hebrews 13:8.

Welcome to the next season of Alive. After 96 daily videos through Lent and Easter, we now enter Ordinary Time with a new weekly series focused on preparing our hearts for Sunday Mass. In this reflection for Trinity Sunday, Fr. Meyer invites us to meditate on one of the most famous verses in Scripture: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son…” — John 3:16 But what does that actually look like in your life? When has God the Father given you His Son Jesus? In prayer? In the Eucharist? Through a friend? During suffering? In moments of peace, conviction, or healing? This week's Alive reflection challenges us not only to recognize how Jesus has been given to us, but also to pray for those who still need to encounter Him. Discussion questions are below and at: allsaintscatholic.net

The 10 Commandments E10 — The short commandment, “Do not commit adultery,” assumes that every marriage is vitally important and just as worth protecting as a human life. But why is a marriage covenant so important in the Bible? The biblical authors consider marriage to be a great mystery that points to something cosmic: God's faithful commitment to humanity. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the meaning of marriage in the Bible, and how its deeper values are relevant to both married and unmarried people.

We kicked off our new series, The Trinity, by taking a look at who God the Father really is. So often, our experiences and struggles shape how we see Him, but Scripture reminds us that He is near and full of compassion. This message is an invitation to lift our eyes beyond fear, frustration, and uncertainty so we can see the hope found in knowing God more intimately. A right view of the Father has the power to change the way we walk through every season.

The 10 Commandments E9 — We're now entering the second half of the 10 Commandments, where God guides Israel in how to relate to one another. The 6th Commandment is often translated “Do not murder.” However, the Hebrew word translated as "murder" can also be translated as "kill," which refers to both the premeditated and the unintentional taking of human life. So is this command saying not to kill at all? In this episode, Jon and Tim unpack the sixth command, highlighting the Bible's ideal of valuing and protecting all life, even as things get increasingly complicated outside of Eden.

The 10 Commandments E7 — In the 4th Commandment, Yahweh tells Israel to remember the Sabbath and do no work, just as Yahweh does after creating the skies and the land. What's going on here? What did this commandment mean to ancient Israel, and what should it mean to Jesus' followers? In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the fourth command's connections to the seven-day creation narrative and Israel's liberation from Egyptian slavery, as well as its role in ancient Israel and the modern world.

The 10 Commandments E4 — Before Yahweh gives the 10 Commandments to Israel, he reminds them that he is the God who liberated them from slavery and is entering into a covenant with them.

The 10 Commandments E3 — What's the purpose of God's commands early in the biblical story? Following the Eden story in Genesis, a pattern develops of God issuing commands that preserve life and release blessing. But the challenge is that often the commands first look like death before they're revealed to be a pathway to life. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore commands given to Noah and Abraham, discovering the good that comes when humans trust and obey God's words.

The 10 Commandments E2 — Why does God give commands and why is it so hard for humans to follow them? Before digging into the 10 Commandments line by line, we'll first trace the theme of God's commands in the Genesis scroll. The first two times God issues commands are on pages one and two of the Bible. In this episode, Jon and Tim discuss the blessing to “be fruitful and multiply,” as well as the “do not eat from the tree” command in Genesis 1 and 2, highlighting humanity's folly and foundational need for God's guidance.

The 10 Commandments E1 — What comes to mind when you hear “Thou shalt not”? Probably the 10 Commandments! Even if you know very little about the Bible, you're probably familiar with “Thou shalt not kill,” “Thou shalt not steal,” “Honor your father and mother,” and many others. They're all over movies, literature, and even carved into public buildings. In the Exodus scroll, these are the core commands God gives to Israel on tablets of stone at the foot of Mount Sinai. And there's a lot that sets them apart from the hundreds of other laws God gives to Israel. In this episode, Jon and Tim kick off a new series on the 10 Commandments, exploring what makes them special and how they are quoted throughout the rest of the Bible.
