Guest Preacher Rev. Kurt Gray

I’m Hopeless and Helpless in My Sin 1. THE DOCTRINE OF GOD’S ORIGINAL PLAN Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” (NIV) Isaiah 43:7 everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.” (NIV) 2. THE DOCTRINE OF THE FALL OF MAN Genesis 2:16–17 And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.” (NIV) Genesis 3:6-7 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. (NIV) 3. THE DOCTRINE OF ORIGINAL SIN Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to ALL men because ALL sinned (ESV) Ephesians 2:3 among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the flesh and the mind, and were BY NATURE children of wrath, like the REST OF MANKIND. (ESV) 4. THE DOCTRINE OF TOTAL DEPRAVITY 1 Corinthians 2:14 The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is NOT ABLE to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. (ESV) Ephesians 2:4-5 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved (ESV) John 6:44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day. (ESV) 5. THE DOCTRINE OF THE CROSS Hebrews 9:22 In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. (NIV) 2 Corinthians 5:21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. (ESV) 1 Peter 3:18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit (ESV) 6. THE DOCTRINE OF SALVATION Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. (ESV) John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever BELIEVES in him should not perish but have eternal life. (ESV) Romans 10:9-10 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and BELIEVE in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. (ESV) Acts 4:12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” (ESV) 7. THE DOCTRINE OF SANCTIFICATION 2 Thessalonians 2:13 But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth. (NKJV)

The Yankees took two of three from the Mets, but their AL East outlook somehow got worse. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber explain why Tampa Bay's relentless winning has put the Yankees in a position where they may need to sweep a four-game series against the Rays to keep realistic division hopes alive. Attention then turns back to a huge New York football weekend. The Giants controlled Dallas with long, physical drives that kept Dak Prescott on the sideline after his costly interception, while callers celebrate what looked like a completely transformed offense. The Jets' dominant opener has fans dreaming too, but Evan warns that one win over Tennessee is nowhere near enough for any “I told you so” declarations about Aaron Glenn.

This episode comes to you from the middle of my annual summer sabbatical, where I've been reading romance novels, working with my poetry editor, and thinking a lot about the Karpman Drama Triangle. I read you my poem "Helpless Helper" and use it as a doorway into exploring the victim, rescuer, and persecutor roles I keep finding myself cycling through with patients, with my kids, and with the healthcare system itself. I walk through the healthier shifts — victim to creator, persecutor to challenger, rescuer to coach — and what it actually looks like to step off the merry-go-round instead of convincing everyone you're good.Learn more about Hippocratic Collective: https://hippocraticcollective.org/Connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joanchanmd

If you are a believer in Jesus, you are not helpless against sin. The Holy Spirit lives inside of you and enables you to fight!

Like true widows, we were utterly helpless, but God helped us in Christ. Old Testament Lessons: Isaiah 1:17; Psalm 68:5; Proverbs 15:25 https://media.urclearning.org/audio/uploader/tm-help-08-23-2026-20260824010824.mp3

What hope can Job have in the midst of his pain in this world? Job 13:20–14:22 looks forward to the hearing of God's Word, publicly read, in the holy assembly on the coming Lord's Day. In these thirty-one verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that the believer's hope is in God Himself, Who makes us new, forgives our sins, and desires us as the work of His hands. The devotional explores Job's desperate plea for God to reveal his sins and cease terrifying him, highlighting the brevity and misery of human life compared to the regenerative power found in Christ. Job's hope is the believer's assurance of fellowship with God through Jesus. Pastor emphasizes that while humans cannot cleanse themselves from sin, God offers forgiveness as the ultimate refuge. Believers are encouraged to maintain their hope in God's kindness and salvation regardless of earthly circumstances. The message concludes by urging his family to live and die with faith in Christ's covering of their iniquities.

You've been told the Epstein case is closed. It's not. It's a blueprint - for how blackmail, sex, and power get used to buy silence at the highest levels of American government, and why the people who could stop it never do. Today's guest has spent decades chasing this story further than almost anyone alive, and what he's found doesn't end with one dead man in a Manhattan jail cell. Nick Bryant joins me to talk about the Franklin Scandal, the CIA's fingerprints on decades of cover-ups, why the "uniparty" protects itself no matter who's in office, and what it actually looks like to draw a line in the sand when the people meant to hold power accountable are the ones compromised. If you've ever wondered why nothing changes no matter who you vote for, this conversation is the answer you didn't want but need to hear.

Burn Fuel Better: From Helpless to Hopeful in the Race Against Climate Change by Don Owens https://www.amazon.com/dp/1736090070 Burnfuelbetter.com The time for blaming, minimizing, or avoiding the climate crisis is over. We are in a critical ticking time bomb, and the Earth is in a perilous state. The effects of climate change are everywhere — for anyone to continue to deny it, is insane. From the extreme weather conditions like drought and fires to the devastation of our glaciers covered with black carbon — we are running out of time. Burn Fuel Better will shed light on some of the unintentional mistakes we are making to address climate change and suggest practical solutions we can make to minimize and possibly reverse the impact — solutions that can be fully implemented today, not 20 – 30 years in the future, when it will be too late. With an accidental discovery of lowering certain types of emissions from diesel engines, this new way of burning fuel minimizes black carbon from entering the atmosphere and adds life-sustaining oxygen. It may sound too impossible to believe and too good to be true. Still, once you discover the proven science behind the technology, you will see how easy it is to join the revolution to save our planet — one fuel-burning vehicle and application at a time.

Psalm 40  Davey Walker July 26, 2026

Jessica Knoll discusses her latest novel Helpless, which according to Kirkus Reviews, "puts the 'erotic' back in 'erotic thriller.'" The story follows a woman named Faye Heron, a successful Hollywood writer and actor who still secretly pines after her college ex-boyfriend, Henry. After they reunite at the funeral of a beloved former professor, sparks reignite. But when Faye finds herself kidnapped and taken to a remote cabin, she must discover what Henry wants from her... and what she wants from him.  Cover art courtesy of Simon and Schuster Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

New York Times bestselling author Jessica Knoll spoke with us about her career trajectory from magazine editor to novelist and screenwriter, the allure of dark romance, and her latest erotic thriller, HELPLESS. Jessica Knoll is the New York Times bestselling author of Bright Young Women, The Favorite Sister, and Luckiest Girl Alive — now a major motion picture on Netflix starring Mila Kunis. She adapted and executive-produced Luckiest Girl Alive for the screen. In 2021, she was named a screenwriter to watch by Variety, and in 2019, her original script, ‘Til Death, sold to Amazon and made The Black List. Her latest novel, Helpless, was named a New York Times, Oprah Daily, Crime Reads, Town & Country, and Bookpage Most Anticipated Book. Booklist described Helpless as “[A] taut contemporary tale of the explosive reunion of two former lovers… Knoll's twisty tale of psychological suspense, with its exploration of a nuanced relationship with elements of submission and control, will get readers talking.” And the New York Times Book Review wrote, “Knoll is the author of really unsettling thrillers… [Helpless] is like Misery but with your ex.” Before writing fiction, Knoll built a career in editorial journalism, serving as a senior editor at Cosmopolitan and as articles editor at Self magazine.

New York Times bestselling author Jessica Knoll joined me live at the Whitby Hotel to discuss Helpless, her gripping new psychological thriller (her "slimmest, tightest novel yet") about a Hollywood power player forced to confront a toxic relationship from her past. Jessica shares how her own experiences informed her writing, reflects on the lasting impact of trauma (trigger warning: we discussed sexual assault), and dives into the novel's complex themes of power, desire, violence, and memory. She also talks about Hollywood, adapting her work for the screen, and the unforgettable ending that will leave readers desperate to discuss the final page.

Joyful. Intimate conversation comes when we reveal ourselves to one another, as it is with God, when the Holy Spirit unveils to our eyes a treasure we failed to notice before.It took me years to notice when the rich young ruler made a very foolish assertion. “Teacher, I have kept all these things from my youth up.” Mark 10:29Instead of chuckling at his claim to perfection, Mark tells us: “And looking at him, Jesus felt a love for him,” Mark 10:21aFor the sake of love, Jesus tried again; in short, give up your stuff, give up your pride, and follow me. When the Bible calls us to humility, it's not a loss; it's better than the gain of the whole wide world. Our So what?The Almighty, Creator, King, Master, and perfect Judge, is also He who tells us:“Just as a father has compassion on his children, So the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him. 14 For He Himself knows our frame; He is mindful that we are but dust.”“Oh Holy Ghost, let us never forget, Nothing in my hands I bring,Simply to Thy cross I cling;Naked, come to Thee for dress,Helpless, look to Thee for grace:Foul, I to the fountain fly. “Rock of Ages”Wash me, Savior, er I die. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever.

Bucket list author. Total fangirl moment.This week, I had the absolute thrill of welcoming the queen, the icon, the legend, Jessica Knoll, to Books Are Chic to celebrate her brilliant new novel, Helpless. And let me tell you, this book will have you closing the final page wondering, "What in the dark romance thriller did I just read?"If you've never read Jessica Knoll, start with Luckiest Girl Alive. It's one of my all-time favorite novels and the perfect introduction to one of the sharpest voices writing today. From there, dive into her entire backlist. Every book is smart, suspenseful, and utterly unforgettable. Jessica has a way of delivering edge-of-your-seat twists while weaving in sharp social commentary and unforgettable characters.Talking with her, it was immediately clear that she's a reader first. We discussed the books that shaped her, the inspiration behind Helpless, the writing process, true crime, Bravo, motherhood, and so much more. It was fun, insightful, and everything I hoped it would be!This conversation will go down as one of the chicest yet. And honestly, we're the lucky ones to live in a world with Jessica Knoll novels.

Yes, we are here again. The recap campfire hasn't even died down yet, but we've got to see off the boy we've come to know as Antiochus IV. Don't hold out hope for a long episode filled with glorious battles, fascinating detail and victory...Sources for this episode:TBA

The experience of future grace often depends on whether we will take refuge in God, or whether we will run for cover to other shelters.

This week I have one long story for you. It's about Reb Adam Baal Shem of Ropshitz — one of the most powerful hidden masters of the generation before the Baal Shem Tov — and what he did when the king of Prague issued harsh decrees against the Jews.

Acts 12 reminds us that it is the norm for God's people to find themselves in situations so far beyond their control that they feel helpless and hopeless. James is executed, Peter is imprisoned, and Herod appears to have all the power. While Herod displays his control, the church prays earnestly, Peter rests peacefully, and God continues to accomplish his purposes. This passage invites us to trust God's sovereignty, to pray fervently, to find our peace in who God is, and to remember that, in the end, there is only one who is truly in control.
