What does it mean to build God's house? In this powerful message, Pastor Brandon Lindell shares how God calls every believer to take initiative, give generously, and use their influence to build His Church. Through the life of King David, we see that when we build God's house, God builds our lives. Our prayer is that this message stirs your faith to serve, give, and lead with a renewed passion for advancing God's Kingdom.

The Rite of Holy Matrimony in Lutheran Service Book begins with a pastoral address that lays out the goodness and purposes of God's gift of marriage. Scripture readings and music center the service as worship in the name of the Triune God, whose blessing the husband and wife seek. As the man and the woman make promises to each other, God is the One who joins them together. The congregation offers prayers for the particular couple and all husbands and wives in confidence that God hears and answers according to His promise.  Rev. Mark Squire, pastor at Immanuel Lutheran Church in St. Ansgar, IA, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study the Rite of Holy Matrimony from Lutheran Service Book.  To learn more about Immanuel Lutheran, visit immanuelsta.org “God's Gift of Marriage” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that studies the Song of Solomon and other key texts from the Bible concerning marriage. Although the world is terribly confused concerning what marriage is, God's Word reveals how good a gift marriage truly is and points us to the relationship between Christ, the Bridegroom, and His Church, the Bride.  Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

St. Paul lays out the way husbands and wives ought to live together in holy matrimony. A wife is to submit to her husband as the Church submits to Christ, and a husband is to love his wife as Christ loves the Church. Although the world today reacts negatively toward this text, Christians are right to cherish it as God's good gift. It is certainly good that the Church submits to Christ as He gives Himself for her; therefore, it is certainly good when husbands and wives model their lives after this pattern. The marriage between Christ and His Church is the true foundation, and human marriage provides a glimpse into that mystery.  Rev. Brian Flamme, pastor at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Roswell, NM, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Ephesians 5:22-33.  To learn more about Immanuel Lutheran, visit immanuelroswell.org. “God's Gift of Marriage” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that studies the Song of Solomon and other key texts from the Bible concerning marriage.

Apocalypse Now: An Eye-Opening Study of the Book of EphesiansWhat if the greatest revelation wasn't about the end of the world, but the unveiling of a new one? Apocalypse Now is a deep and eye-opening journey through the book of Ephesians, where the Apostle Paul—writing from prison—pulls back the curtain on God's grand design for His people.Set against the backdrop of ancient Ephesus, a city of power, culture, and spiritual darkness, this series explores how Paul's letter reveals Jesus as Lord over every empire, idol, and authority. Known as the “Queen of the Epistles,” Ephesians lifts our eyes to the breathtaking view of Christ and His Church—our identity, our unity, our calling, and our hope.Each episode uncovers the “apocalypse”—the great unveiling of Jesus' life, death, resurrection, and the Spirit's gifts—and asks how this revelation reshapes the way we live right now. From household relationships to spiritual warfare, from ancient temples to modern challenges, Apocalypse Now helps us see with fresh eyes what it means to belong to God's family and live as people of another Kingdom.If you're ready for a faith that feels alive, courageous, and countercultural—this is your invitation.

As the Song concludes, Solomon brings us to the theological point. His love for his bride sets her as a seal, meaning that she is his. As Solomon notes how powerful love is, he uses the divine name for the only time in the Song, allowing us to see that God's love for us pursues us even to death and brings us out of the grave. As the others wonder and ask concerning this love, the Church is given a concern for the gift of chastity and marriage. As the Song extols God's gift of marriage throughout, so God has given us the opportunity to rejoice in the love that Christ has for His Church.  Rev. Andy Wright, pastor at St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Topeka, KS, joins host Rev.

What happens when a man literally dies and comes face to face with God? In this gripping episode of The Manly Catholic, James sits down with Paul Zucarelli, a former businessman who flatlined eight times, died for over two hours, and was miraculously brought back to life through intercessory prayer by Bishop Thomas Olmsted. Paul's story isn't just a testimony but a wake-up call for every Catholic man asleep in the comfort of lukewarm faith.Paul shares how his “successful” life hid a spiritual bankruptcy that nearly cost him his soul. But God's mercy broke through. After his near-death encounter with the Divine Light, Paul saw his life laid bare before God and was given a mission: to call men back to true faith, hope, and conversion of heart.This episode isn't for the passive. It's for men ready to confront the idols in their lives—the pride of self-sufficiency, the worship of comfort, the false security of worldly success—and return to the Cross.James and Paul discuss:Paul's miraculous resurrection through the power of intercessory prayerThe spiritual danger of living a “half-hearted faith” Jesus calls lukewarmWhy Catholic men must prepare not for “earthly retirement,” but for eternal lifeThe battle between self-will and surrender to God's willThe critical role of priests, bishops, and the sacraments in spiritual warfareHow faith, hope, and charity must be lived, not merely professedPaul's testimony proves God's miracles are alive in His Church and that faith can literally raise the dead. The question is, are you living as if you believe that?Products/References in the Episode:The Manly Catholic Episode 136 (Paul's first interview)Into the Breach by Bishop Thomas J. OlmstedPrayer of Abandonment by St. Charles de FoucauldFaithUnderstood.orgPowerful Quotes from the Episode:“I spent my life building an earthly retirement plan while ignoring my eternal one.”“A half-hearted faith is nauseating to Christ. He will spit you out of His mouth.”“Hope is in the will. You must choose to hope in Christ, every single day.”Key Takeaway for Men: Die to self. Stop living as if this world is your home.

The bride seeks her husband in the garden, and there he praises her beauty. His delight in his wife's beauty is a blessed gift of God within the context of holy matrimony, a delight that God still gives to husbands and wives today. The garden imagery throughout this section recalls the Garden of Eden in the beginning and the heavenly garden of the book of Revelation, pointing us to the love that Christ has for the Church and the Church's joyful response of love to Him.  Rev.

In this episode, we talk about what it means to bring God's Presence into our relationships with others. Through His life, Jesus shows us how to live at the pace of the Holy Spirit and create space for authentic connection. We explore how easy it is to overlook the significance of ordinary moments and how, through slowing the pace of our lives, we have powerful opportunities to love, listen, and become more attuned to those around us. We also discuss the importance of healthy boundaries, the freedom that comes from not needing to fix others, and how it's God's love that shapes how we show up for the people in our lives.   Heather's One Thing - This Wild at Heart Podcast series with Jon Tyson (Part 1) (Part 2) Sister Miriam's One Thing - The Lila Rose Show with Msgr Rossetti  Michelle's One Thing - Raise a Hallelujah by Bethel Music, Jonathan Helser, and Melissa Helser   Journal Questions: How can I show up for people in my life in this season? How do I need others to show up for me? In what ways do I lose myself when entering into the suffering of others? Do I need to create a boundary in any of my relationships?   Discussion Questions: What margin do you need to create for yourself so you can be more present? What is your biggest obstacle to being present to your loved ones? How can you prioritize being present to Christ and what He's doing in you? What would it look like for you to give from a place of security?   Quote to Ponder: “More and more, the desire grows in me simply to walk around, greet people, enter their homes, sit on their doorsteps, play ball, throw water, and be known as someone who wants to live with them. It is a privilege to have the time to practice this simple ministry of presence. Still, it is not as simple as it seems. My own desire to be useful, to do something significant, or to be part of some impressive project is so strong that soon my time is taken up by meetings, conferences, study groups, and workshops that prevent me from walking the streets. It is difficult not to have plans, not to organize people around an urgent cause, and not to feel that you are working directly for social progress. But I wonder more and more if the first thing shouldn't be to know people by name, to eat and drink with them, to listen to their stories and tell your own, and to let them know with words, handshakes, and hugs that you do not simply like them, but truly love them.” (Henri Nouwen, Gracias: A Latin American Journal)   Scripture for Lectio: “O Lord, thou hast searched me and known me!” (Psalm 139:1)   Sponsor - Camp Wojtyla: Are you looking for a transformative experience for your middle school or high school student?

The bride's sloth in answering her husband's knock provides a picture of the Church when she ignores the Lord's Word. Our heavenly Bridegroom uses His Law for the sake of love in order to draw His bride back to Himself. When others question the goodness of the Bridegroom, the Church recalls with joy who her Lord is, leading others to seek Him as well. The husband's joy in his bride in Song of Solomon shows the Lord's great delight over His Church.  Rev. James Preus, pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in Ottumwa, IA, joins host Rev.

What does it really mean to be a Christian in the latter days? This week, we dive into Doctrine and Covenants 115–120, where the Lord Himself gives His Church its name and reminds us who we represent. ✨In this episode, you'll learn:

In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine our hearts and actions in light of Romans 14. The central theme revolves around judgment and how we, as believers, often fall into the trap of criticizing others based on personal convictions rather than clear biblical mandates. We're reminded that while there are absolute truths in Scripture, many areas require us to exercise love, patience, and understanding. The message emphasizes that 'until you see it, you don't see it,' encouraging us to be patient with others in their spiritual journey. This ties beautifully into Jesus' teaching about not judging others and instead focusing on our own spiritual growth. As we navigate our faith, we're called to be sensitive to others, mindful that our actions might cause a brother or sister to stumble. This message is a wake-up call for us to live out our faith with genuine love, avoiding the pitfalls of legalism and self-righteousness.

In this sermon from Pastor John, we explore how Jesus places two things before His disciples: a set of keys and a cross. He gives His Church real authority—but then calls us to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him. Because life in the Kingdom isn't about grasping for control, but surrendering to the King. We naturally reach for the keys... but hesitate at the cross. Yet Jesus shows us that true life is found not in saving ourselves, but in laying everything down for His sake.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com

Ever felt lost in life, unsure which direction to take next? You're not alone. In this message, “Way-Finding,” Scott Embry shares a powerful and relatable story about hiking, getting off the trail, and learning how those same moments reflect our spiritual journey with Christ.Just like on the trail, our walk with Jesus requires markers—His Word, His Spirit, and His Church—to help us stay on the right path. Whether you're in a season of clarity or confusion, this message will remind you to: Follow the markers God has placed in your life Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus Discern truth from distraction Trust your Guide—because God isn't lost, and He knows the way! “Trust God with the things that are causing chaos in your life, rather than trying to control them yourself.” Scripture References:John 16:33 • Matthew 7:7 • John 8:12 • Proverbs 4:25-26 • 1 John 4:1 • Psalm 46:10 • John 14:27 • Philippians 1:6 • Jeremiah 29:11

The bridegroom continues to extol the beauty of his bride, calling her to his home and longing for her kinship. His words are borne out of thankfulness for God's gift of the marital union, rejoicing in the delight that God gives to a husband and wife in holy matrimony. Her love requites his love, and the marriage is joyfully consummated.   Rev. Sean Daenzer, director of worship for The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod and chaplain for the International Center in St. Louis, MO, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Song of Solomon 4:8-5:1.  “God's Gift of Marriage” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that studies the Song of Solomon and other key texts from the Bible concerning marriage. Although the world is terribly confused concerning what marriage is, God's Word reveals how good a gift marriage truly is and points us to the relationship between Christ, the Bridegroom, and His Church, the Bride.  Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

The bride is longingly looking for her bridegroom in the night and suddenly finds him to her great delight, in a scene very reminiscent of Mary Magdalene searching for Jesus after His resurrection. The wedding procession begins and includes imagery reminiscent of the LORD's protection of His people as they journeyed through the wilderness to the Promised Land. As the bridegroom looks upon his bride, he praises her beauty, recognizing his wife as God's gift to him in marriage.  Rev.

Although the bride sees herself as one flower among many, Solomon views his beloved as the only one for him. He protects her from the dangers that their love faces as he sets a feast for her. The union that exists between the bride and the bridegroom is one in which they belong to each other and share all that they have. Through their relationship, we see a picture of the way Christ makes His Church lovely and bestows upon her all that is His.  Rev.

The Song of Solomon was likely written by King Solomon early in his reign. Despite the way his wives multiplied later in life, Solomon's song speaks of the joy of marriage between one man and one woman. As the bride and the bridegroom speak to one another, they await with joy their coming marriage and praise the excellent qualities of each other. Throughout the Song, the love between Solomon and his bride provides a picture of the love that exists between Christ and His Church.  Rev.

Tuesday October 7, 2025XVII Week After PentecostIn today's episode, we see rebellion, perseverance, and resurrection hope collide in the story of God's unshakable kingdom.

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the urgency of our spiritual awakening. Drawing from Romans 13, we're called to 'wake up from our spiritual complacency' and recognize that our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The central theme revolves around knowing our time and being ready to act on God's prompting. We're challenged to be disciples who know who they are and what to do, embracing ministry in our everyday lives. The message emphasizes that God has always known us and has a plan for each of us, regardless of our past mistakes. We're encouraged to step out in faith, one decision at a time, trusting that God has already seen the life we could have. This overview leaves us pondering: Are we ready to let Jesus interrupt our lives and use us to reach others?

In considering God's gift of marriage, it's helpful to start at the beginning. Moses records God's institution of marriage in Genesis 2. Because it was not good for the man to be alone, God created the woman to be the helper he needed. Adam's joy at the gift of Eve is the same joy God gives to husbands and wives today as they take delight in each other, help each other, and receive the gift of children through their union. God's institution of marriage shows this holy estate to be anything but a burden— it is a precious gift.  Rev. Nate Hill, pastor at St. Michael's Lutheran Church in Winchester, TX, joins host Rev.

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the urgency of our times and the importance of 'knowing the time' as followers of Christ. Drawing from Romans 13:11-14, we're called to awaken from spiritual complacency and recognize the strategic hour we're living in. Just as Paul urged the early Roman church, we too must 'put on the armor of light' and be ready for spiritual battle. This isn't about fear, but about being alert and prepared. We're challenged to live as 'citizens of heaven,' representing Jesus in our daily lives and interactions. The message emphasizes the need for authentic faith that goes beyond religious rituals, encouraging us to love our neighbors and be attentive to the Holy Spirit's leading. As we navigate these critical times, let's hold fast to our confession of hope, stirring up love and good works in one another, and not forsaking the assembly of believers. This timely word calls us to embrace our identity in Christ and step into our role as His disciples with renewed vigor and purpose.

As we celebrate five years of God's faithfulness at Mission Church, we return to a foundational moment in the Gospel of Matthew—Peter's confession that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God. In this powerful sermon from "The King and His Kingdom" series, we reflect on what kind of church we're becoming, what we're building on, and why Jesus alone must remain our foundation. Pastor John reminds us that Jesus is building His Church, and not even the gates of hell will prevail against it. Whether you're new to faith or growing deeper, this message is a timely call to root our lives and churches on the only unshakable foundation—Christ Himself.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com

God has given each of us unique gifts—not just for ourselves, but to bless others and build His Church. From the parking lot to the stage, it takes hundreds of people every week using their gifts in harmony to make ministry happen. When we each play our part, God creates something beautiful through us together.

Introduction Pastor Torry Sheppard begins Ever Ancient, Ever New by celebrating the enduring strength and beauty of the Church. Through a humorous story about a pastor describing his “multinational company” on a flight, he reframes how people perceive the Church—not as an outdated or oppressive institution, but as the greatest movement in human history. From hospitals and schools to justice and family care, the Church has shaped civilization and carried the hope of Christ for over two millennia. Despite scandals and shifting cultures, it endures—not by human strength, but because it is built on the rock of Christ Himself.The Ache of Our Age Acknowledging the growing cynicism toward organized religion, Pastor Torry notes that modern culture rewards criticism of the Church. While he affirms the need for accountability where there has been real harm, he also exposes the deeper spiritual current behind this distrust—a postmodern, hyper-individualistic worldview that rejects absolute truth and views authority as oppression. This isn't new, he reminds us—it's the same lie from Eden: “You will be like God.” In a world disoriented by self-made truth and moral relativism, people are hungry for something solid. The Church, he insists, offers that anchor: a tested, ancient, and enduring truth. Instead of apologizing for the Church to make room for Jesus, believers must recover a holy pride in her beauty, legacy, and mission.Our Inheritance and Stewardship The message shifts to inheritance. The faith we hold didn't begin with us—it was handed down through apostles, martyrs, and reformers who preserved the gospel at great cost. This is our inheritance, but it also makes us stewards. We are called to guard this truth, live it out faithfully in our time, and hand it intact to the next generation. As Jude 3 says, we must “contend for the faith once entrusted to God's holy people.” The Church doesn't stand on shifting ideas but on eternal truths—truths that, as Augustine said, are “ever ancient, ever new.” This series, Pastor Torry explains, will reawaken pride in belonging to the Body of Christ and rekindle passion for passing the torch forward.The Confession that Built the Church Turning to Matthew 16:13–18, Pastor Torry examines Jesus' question to the disciples: “Who do you say that I am?” Peter's reply—“You are the Christ, the Son of the living God”—becomes the confession on which Jesus builds His Church. The rock is not Peter the man, but the truth he proclaimed. The Church is founded on that confession, and every believer who declares it becomes another living stone in God's house. Confession, Pastor Torry explains, is not just intellectual agreement but heart surrender. What we confess shapes how we live. Doctrine is the foundation of discipleship and the doorway into God's family. The early Church captured these essentials in creeds—“the theological carry-on” of the Christian faith. Pastor Torry reads the Apostles' Creed, describing it as the timeless summary of what Christians everywhere have believed: one God, the Father Almighty; Jesus Christ, the crucified and risen Son; the Holy Spirit; the united Church; and the hope of resurrection and eternal life.Three Reasons We Can Trust the Church As the message closes, Pastor Torry offers three compelling reasons believers can trust the Church and its message.The Historical Case – Christianity has withstood two thousand years of scrutiny. The manuscript evidence for Scripture is unparalleled, far exceeding that of any ancient work. The doctrines of the faith were prayerfully preserved through councils and scribes who safeguarded orthodoxy long before printing presses existed. The endurance of Scripture and doctrine testifies to divine preservation.The Reason Case – Logic itself supports the credibility of Christianity. Considering the disciples' testimony, one must conclude they were either lying, hallucinating, or telling the truth. Given that they gained no earthly reward and suffered martyrdom for their claims, the most reasonable conclusion is that they spoke truthfully about the risen Christ.The Relational Case – Beyond logic and history, Christianity invites encounter. Pastor Torry shares the story of Thomas Aquinas, who ceased writing after a profound encounter with Christ, declaring that everything he had written was “straw” compared to knowing Jesus Himself. Arguments can point us to Christ, but only an encounter with His presence can anchor us in Him.Closing Challenge Pastor Torry concludes by reminding the church that confession and doctrine are not dry relics but living realities meant to draw us closer to Christ. The gospel we inherit is ancient and enduring, yet it remains new every time a heart confesses, “You are the Christ.” In an age of confusion, the Church must hold fast to that confession—ever ancient, ever new.

Bearing good fruit and living out Jesus' values are what glorify God. The world longs for what Spirit-led lives offer. The fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control shows who we are and indicates if we're living as God intends. When led by the Spirit, doing right becomes instinctive, not just rule-based obedience. In this 9-part series, we will dive into each of the fruit of the Spirit and what living from those means for us as His Church and for those who desperately need Jesus.

The Apostle Paul reminds us in Ephesians that a Christian's battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of darkness. Join us as Chip exposes powerful lies that have misled believers for centuries and are undermining the institution of marriage.The command: Walk differentlyWalking worthy of your CALLING -Ephesians 4:1, 17Walking in LOVE, like Christ -Ephesians 5:2Walking as children of LIGHT -Ephesians 5:8Walking not as unwise, but as WISE -Ephesians 5:15How?By letting your relationship with God—with Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit—be the one central, most important thing that focuses your mind around the truth of how to live. -Ephesians 5:15-20By applying the instructions for the Spirit-filled life to the family structure. -Ephesians 5:21-6:4The ultimate context:The armor of God is detailed immediately after family instructions to frame the family as a primary spiritual battlefield for fighting lies. -Ephesians 6:10-18Fighting for your familyIdentify lies and understand where they come from and what they do.Understand that lies make it impossible for children to grow up in a safe, stable, supportive environment where they feel valued, encouraged, and supported.Recognize that the most dangerous lies are the ones that you believe to the point where you think it's good.The family as a witnessFew things will be more important to show the world the love of Christ than marriages that reflect Jesus and His Church.Our mission: To show the world that there is hope by identifying lies in our families and culture, and building Spirit-powered homes that glorify God.Broadcast ResourceDownload Free MP3Message NotesAdditional Resource MentionsMarriage Truth Cards Offer"Uninvited Guests" ResourcesConnect888-333-6003WebsiteChip Ingram AppInstagramFacebookTwitterPartner With UsDonate Online888-333-6003

Today, the world is flooded with information but lacks wisdom. Confusion and deception are everywhere. The line between right and wrong has blurred, truth is challenged, and many believers struggle to discern the voice of God amid the noise.In "Wisdom – Discerning Good & Evil", Duane Sheriff teaches that wisdom is more than knowledge—it's the ability to discern between good and evil, a skill desperately needed in our complex world. The story of Solomon asking God for wisdom reminds us how to approach our spiritual journey. Just as Solomon didn't ask for riches or long life but for understanding to lead God's people, we too must prioritize godly wisdom above worldly pursuits.As God restores discernment in His Church, believers are called to rise with clarity, conviction, and compassion.
