How many times should we forgive someone who has wronged us? In this message, Pastor Karl explores Jesus' powerful teaching in Matthew 18:21–35, revealing that forgiveness is not about keeping score—it's about reflecting the incredible mercy we've received from God.Through the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant, Pastor Karl explains the immeasurable debt of sin that Christ has forgiven and why that forgiveness transforms the way we respond to those who hurt us. Discover the difference between forgiveness and enabling harmful behavior, why forgiveness is central to life in God's Kingdom, and how releasing others from their debt brings freedom to our own hearts.Whether you're wrestling with past wounds, strained relationships, or the challenge of extending grace, this message offers biblical truth and practical encouragement to help you walk in the freedom Christ has made possible.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm
What if the problem isn't that God hasn't answered your prayers… but that we've misunderstood what prayer is supposed to be?Many of us only pray when we've run out of options. We Google it. We call a friend. We search for answers. We try to fix the problem ourselves—and then, when nothing else works, we finally pray.But Jesus gives us a completely different picture of prayer.In Matthew 7, Jesus says: Ask. Seek. Knock.Prayer isn't about persuading a reluctant God to care about your life. It's about pursuing a loving Father who already knows you, sees you, and cares about what you're facing.In this message, we'll discover how to:• Ask God first—not last• Seek God before seeking solutions• Keep knocking when prayer feels unanswered• Stop praying like a stranger and start approaching God as a son or daughter• Trust God when the answer is “no,” “wait,” or “yes”• Understand how God may be transforming you while you're waitingIf you're struggling with unanswered prayer, anxiety, uncertainty, purpose, relationships, or simply wondering whether God is listening, this message is for you.Sometimes the greatest answer to prayer isn't the circumstance changing.Sometimes it's the person you become while you're waiting.
Psalm 13 What do we do when God feels far away? Do we dare say what we really feel? Can we find a way to worship in such darkness? Can we find hope in Christ?

Hobart • Hamilton • Singapore • Nashville • Buenos Aires LOVE • ASSURANCE • REST Good evening, and welcome to DailyPrayer.uk. I'm Reverend Ben Cooper. As this Saturday gently comes to its close, thank you for ending the day with me. Before we settle into the quietness of the evening, let's pause together and remember one beautiful truth that can carry us peacefully through the night: we are never beyond the loving presence of God. There are days that leave us with a deep sense of gratitude, and there are days that leave us with unanswered questions. Most Saturdays contain a little of both. Yet whatever this day has held, the Lord has remained faithful from its first light until this very moment. He has walked beside us through every conversation, every decision, every unexpected turn and every quiet blessing. Tonight, we do not rest because we have understood everything that has happened today. We rest because the God who loves us has been with us every step of the way. Zephaniah 3:17 (NIV) “The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.” What a wonderful picture of God's heart towards His children. We are not simply noticed by the Lord; we are deeply loved. His presence surrounds us, His saving power gives us confidence and His love brings quiet reassurance to our hearts. As this day comes to an end, we can place ourselves safely into His care, knowing that tomorrow will also be held securely in His hands. So tonight, let's gently remind ourselves that fear will not win, because the Lord is with us, delights in us and faithfully watches over us through the night. Father, thank You for Your unfailing love that has carried us throughout this day. Thank You for never leaving us and for surrounding us with Your faithful care. Lord Jesus, bless every listener tonight. Bring peaceful sleep to the weary, comfort to those who feel lonely, renewed hope to those facing tomorrow and quiet confidence to every heart resting in Your presence. Holy Spirit, draw us ever closer to the Father's heart. Fill our homes with Your peace, settle our minds with Your truth and help us awaken tomorrow ready to follow Christ with renewed joy. Across the world, from Hobart to Hamilton, from Singapore to Nashville and Buenos Aires, may every listener rest tonight knowing that the Lord is with them, delights in them and lovingly watches over them. Jesús, gracias porque permaneces conmigo y Tu amor nunca me abandona. Jesus, obrigado porque permaneces comigo e o Teu amor nunca me abandona.

Friday, 17 July 2026 But Jesus answered and said to them, “I also will ask you one thing, which if you tell Me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things: Matthew 21:24 “Answering, also, the ‘Jesus', He said to them, ‘I will entreat you, I also, word one, which if you should say to Me, I also to you, I will say in where-such authority these I do.'” (CG) In the previous verse, the chief priests and elders of the people confronted Jesus, asking by what authority He was doing the things He was doing. Matthew next records, “Answering, also, the ‘Jesus', He said to them, ‘I will entreat you, I also, word one.'” As with Hebrew, a “word” signifies more than just a word. It can signify a matter, cause, concern, inquiry, request, and so much more. Following that, English uses it in various ways as well. We might say, “What's the good word today?” That means more than a word in a Cryptoquip or some other puzzle. We are asking about how a person is doing, what they are up to, etc. In this case, Jesus is asking these leaders to explain something. If they will adequately respond, then He will continue in one way. If they cannot or if they refuse to respond, He will continue in another way. Their response to the word He entreats them to give is thus conditional, as He next says, “which if you should say to Me, I also to you, I will say in where-such authority these I do.” They have asked Jesus under what authority He is acting. The answer might not be difficult to provide, but because Jesus has set a condition, it means they must be careful in how they answer. In such a situation, there will always be some sort of blowback to giving the wrong response. However, if they respond with a proper explanation to His request, they will have their answer from Him. One could say, “That is disobedient to the rulers of the land, something the law does not allow.” Because of this, we can already guess that the question He will ask them will put them on the spot concerning the authority of the law, or it will bear on the source of the law, where it came from, or how it came about. This is a logical assumption because if they cannot sufficiently explain His request, they will actually have no right to know under whose authority Jesus was acting. We can use this same tactic when dealing with judges, politicians, taxing authorities, etc. Where does authority come from? In the case of these leaders, their authority is derived from the Law of Moses. It is what established them as the people of the Lord in a unique way. As such, these men must work within the confines of that body of law to justify their requests, decisions, and mandates. Life application: In the US, the thing that establishes the law of the land is not the Congress, the judicial system, or the president. The US Constitution is the framework that establishes the government and all bodies that operate within the government. This is why the left has attempted to call the Constitution an “organic document,” as if it is alive and changing with time and circumstance. They reject the early writings, which were foundational to understanding the purpose behind the writing and approval of the Constitution. But there is a reason for each thing mandated in the Constitution. To reject the reason behind those mandates empties them of any reasonable purpose. And so, of course, they relish in ignoring that intent. Further, if the constitution is organic and changing, then it is up to whatever government is in power to clip it according to their supposed skill at pruning what is unnecessary. This is how bad people operate. They have no care for the duly established basis for whatever government they live under. Instead, they work against the recognized authority. In the case of the US, the recognized authority for the operation of the government is, first and foremost, the US Constitution. In working against that, they violate the words of Scripture, which were ever on the minds of the Founding Fathers – “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.” Romans 13:1 John Adams said, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” Understanding this, it is evident why those who hate God and what is moral, just, and proper will do their best to undermine the authority and rigid structure of the Constitution. Thank God that there is hope in Christ for a better life beyond this one. Jesus' question will be one that deals with authority. If they cannot answer His question, they have no right to know what they have asked Him. People ask for answers from God all the time, but unless they are asking through His Mediator, they have no right to an answer. This is the glory of knowing Jesus: we can come to God through Him and ask questions, hoping for a response that will give us wisdom, comfort, and hope. He will answer according to His wisdom. Someday, this will be in a manner we cannot even imagine at this time. Hold fast to Jesus. Great things lie ahead for His redeemed. Lord God, some of us live in godly nations. Some of us live under difficult, ungodly rulers. You have appointed our times and places, and we must live through them as best we can and in accord with Your word. But our hope isn't in this life. No! Our hope is in the life that is ahead when we are in Your presence under a new, eternal rule in the presence of Jesus. May that day be soon. Amen.

Brisbane • Auckland • Singapore • Charlotte • Bogotá TRUST • GUIDANCE • CONFIDENCE Good morning, and welcome to DailyPrayer.uk. I'm Reverend Ben Cooper. Thank you for taking a few moments to pause with me. As this day continues to unfold, let's bring our plans before the Lord and remember that His wisdom reaches far beyond what our eyes can presently see. There are times when we wish we knew exactly how everything would work out. We would like tomorrow's answers before today's decisions have even been made. Yet the Lord gently reminds us that peace is not found in knowing every detail. It is found in trusting the One who already knows the beginning, the middle and the end of our journey. His wisdom is never hurried, and His guidance is always given with perfect love. Proverbs 3:5–6 (NIV) “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” What a reassuring promise for today. Trust begins where complete understanding ends. As we place today's decisions into God's hands, we discover that His direction is steady, His timing is dependable and His purposes are always good. We may not yet see every answer, but we can confidently follow the Lord who lovingly leads us forward one day at a time. So today, let's gently remind ourselves that fear will not win, because Jesus Christ faithfully directs the lives of those who place their trust in Him. Father, thank You for Your perfect wisdom and Your patient guidance. Thank You that You never ask us to carry tomorrow before You have given us today's grace. Lord Jesus, bless every listener today. Bring healing to those who are unwell, wisdom to those making important decisions, confidence to those stepping into new opportunities and peace to everyone waiting for Your direction. Help us trust You with willing hearts and follow wherever You lead. Holy Spirit, shape our decisions, calm our thoughts and help us recognise the quiet leading of God throughout this day. Across the world, from Brisbane to Auckland, from Singapore to Charlotte and Bogotá, may every listener move forward today with confidence, knowing that the Lord faithfully directs every surrendered heart.

Perth • Christchurch • Singapore • Dallas • Santiago COURAGE • STRENGTH • PRESENCE Good morning, and welcome to DailyPrayer.uk. I'm Reverend Ben Cooper. Thank you for beginning this new day with me. Before we step into today's opportunities and unknowns, let's pause together, open God's Word and remember that we never walk alone. The Lord who created us also walks faithfully beside us. Some mornings begin with excitement, while others begin with unanswered questions. There may be responsibilities waiting for us, conversations we are unsure about or situations that feel beyond our strength. Yet before we have taken our first step today, God has already spoken these reassuring words over our lives: “Do not fear, for I am with you.” His presence is our confidence, and His faithfulness is our steady foundation. Isaiah 41:10 (NIV) “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” What a wonderful promise to carry into today. Our confidence does not come from having every answer. It comes from knowing the Lord who strengthens us, helps us and faithfully holds us in His care. Whatever this day may bring, His presence will always be greater than our uncertainty. So today, let's gently remind ourselves that fear will not win, because Jesus Christ is with us, strengthening every step and surrounding us with His unfailing love. Father, thank You for Your constant presence and Your unfailing faithfulness. Thank You that You never leave us to face life's challenges alone. Lord Jesus, bless every listener today. Bring healing to those who are unwell, courage to those facing uncertainty, peace to anxious hearts and fresh strength to everyone carrying heavy responsibilities.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningMicah 6:8 — Walk Humbly With Your God Live from London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Adelaide • Queenstown • Singapore • Denver • Montevideo FAITHFULNESS • WISDOM • PEACE Good evening, and welcome to DailyPrayer.uk. I'm Reverend Ben Cooper. As another day begins to draw towards its close, let's pause together, open God's Word and remember that the Christian life is most often lived through faithful steps taken one day at a time. We sometimes imagine that God is looking only for extraordinary moments, yet much of our walk with Him is shaped through ordinary acts of faithfulness. The kindness we show, the honesty we choose, the forgiveness we extend and the humility we practise quietly become part of our daily worship. The Lord delights in hearts that remain close to Him, even in life's simplest moments. Micah 6:8 (NIV) “He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” What a beautiful invitation for this evening. God is not asking us to live impressive lives; He is calling us to live faithful ones. As we continue to walk beside Him, one step at a time, He shapes our character, strengthens our witness and gently teaches us to reflect His love in everyday life. So this evening, let's gently remind ourselves that fear will not win, because Jesus Christ walks with us through every ordinary moment, making each faithful step meaningful in His Kingdom. Father, thank You for Your patience and Your constant presence throughout this day. Thank You that You value the quiet faithfulness that often goes unnoticed by the world. Lord Jesus, bless every listener this evening. Bring healing to those who are unwell, wisdom to those making important decisions, grace to those seeking reconciliation and renewed peace to everyone longing to walk more closely with You. Help us remain faithful in both the small moments and the significant ones. Holy Spirit, form the character of Christ within us, guide our footsteps tomorrow and help us honour You through lives marked by humility, mercy and faithful obedience. Across the world, from Adelaide to Queenstown, from Singapore to Denver and Montevideo, may every listener finish this day with grateful hearts, walking confidently beside the Lord who never leaves them. Jesús, enséñame a caminar humildemente contigo cada día. Jesus, ensina-me a caminhar humildemente Contigo todos os dias. Jesus, turuan Mo akong lumakad na may kababaang-loob kasama Ka araw-araw.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningDeuteronomy 31:8 — The Lord Goes Before You Live from London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Perth • Christchurch • Singapore • Dallas • Santiago COURAGE • CONFIDENCE • PRESENCE Good morning, and welcome to DailyPrayer.uk. I'm Reverend Ben Cooper. Thank you for beginning this new day with me. Before today's unknowns begin to unfold, let's open God's Word together and remember a wonderful truth: wherever this day may lead, God has already gone before us. There are mornings when we wonder what the next few hours will bring. New responsibilities, unexpected conversations and unseen challenges can all leave us feeling uncertain. Yet we never begin the day alone. Long before we opened our eyes this morning, the Lord was already preparing the path ahead. His presence is not following behind us; it is faithfully leading us forward with wisdom, love and purpose. Deuteronomy 31:8 (NIV) “The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” What a powerful promise to receive today. Our confidence is not built upon knowing every detail of the journey. It grows from knowing the One who walks ahead of us. Every conversation, every responsibility and every unexpected moment already rests within His loving care. So today, let's gently remind ourselves that fear will not win, because Jesus Christ goes before us with unfailing faithfulness, opening the way with grace and hope. Father, thank You for going before us into this new day. Thank You that nothing we will face today is unknown to You and that Your loving presence surrounds every step we take. Lord Jesus, bless every listener today. Bring healing to those who are unwell, courage to those facing uncertainty, peace to anxious hearts and fresh confidence to everyone stepping into new responsibilities. Help us walk forward with faith instead of fear, trusting that You are already at work. Holy Spirit, guide our decisions, strengthen our hearts and remind us throughout this day that we are never beyond Your loving care. Across the world, from Perth to Christchurch, from Singapore to Dallas and Santiago, may every listener begin this day with quiet confidence, knowing that the Lord has gone before them and will remain faithfully with them.

Send us your feedback — we're listening1 Thessalonians 5:11 — Encourage One Another and Build Each Other Up Live from London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Melbourne • Wellington • Singapore • Houston • Lima ENCOURAGEMENT • KINDNESS • HOPE Welcome to DailyPrayer.uk. I'm Reverend Ben Cooper. Thank you for joining me in the middle of your day. Let's pause together, open God's Word and remember that God often works through simple acts of kindness, thoughtful words and faithful encouragement. Every person we meet is carrying a story that we may never fully see. Behind a smile there may be disappointment, behind quietness there may be uncertainty and behind confidence there may be a heart longing for reassurance. The Lord has a beautiful way of using ordinary conversations to strengthen weary hearts. A gracious word, a thoughtful gesture or a moment of genuine compassion can become a reminder that someone is seen, valued and loved by God. 1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NIV) “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” What a wonderful calling for today. We have been encouraged by Christ so that we may encourage others. As we speak words that bring hope, choose kindness over criticism and extend grace instead of judgement, we become quiet reflections of the love of Jesus in everyday life. We may never know how deeply one conversation or one act of compassion will shape another person's journey. So today, let's gently remind ourselves that fear will not win, because Jesus Christ continues to bring hope into the world through hearts that are willing to encourage others. Father, thank You for every person who has spoken hope into our lives. Thank You for the encouragement You have brought through faithful friends, loving family and unexpected moments of kindness. Lord Jesus, bless every listener today. Bring healing to those who are unwell, fresh hope to those who feel discouraged, compassion to every heart and wisdom to every conversation. Help us become people whose words strengthen rather than wound and whose lives point others towards Your love. Holy Spirit, fill our hearts with kindness, guide our conversations and help us reflect the gentle character of Christ wherever we go today. Across the world, from Melbourne to Wellington, from Singapore to Houston and Lima, may every listener become an instrument of hope, bringing encouragement wherever You lead them.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningPsalm 62:5 — Find Rest, O My Soul, in God Alone Live from London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Hobart • Hamilton • Singapore • Nashville • Buenos Aires REST • ASSURANCE • HOPE Good evening, and welcome to DailyPrayer.uk. I'm Reverend Ben Cooper. Thank you for ending this day with me. Before we close our eyes tonight, let's pause together, open God's Word and allow our souls to become quiet in the presence of God There are evenings when our bodies are tired, yet our thoughts continue to race. We remember conversations, revisit unfinished tasks and wonder about tomorrow. Yet the deepest rest we need is not found simply by sleeping. It is found by placing our hope in the Lord, whose love remains constant and whose presence gently quiets every anxious thought. Psalm 62:5 (NIV) “Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him.” What a beautiful invitation to receive tonight. God welcomes us to bring our whole selves into His presence—the questions we still carry, the gratitude we have discovered and the hopes we hold for tomorrow. As our hearts become settled in Him, we discover a peace that reaches beneath our circumstances and steadies us from within. Tomorrow will arrive in its own time, but tonight our souls may rest safely in the faithful love of God. So this evening, let's gently remind ourselves that fear will not win, because Jesus Christ is our unfailing hope, and in Him our hearts find lasting rest.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningPsalm 5:3 — In the Morning, Lord, You Hear My Voice Live from London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Perth • Christchurch • Singapore • Nashville • Santiago PRAYER • CONFIDENCE • DIRECTION Good morning, and welcome to DailyPrayer.uk. I'm Reverend Ben Cooper. Thank you for welcoming me into the beginning of your day. Before today's plans begin to unfold, let's quietly turn our hearts towards the Lord and discover the peace that comes from speaking with Him first. Every new day arrives carrying fresh possibilities, fresh responsibilities and fresh opportunities to trust God. Before our minds become occupied with everything waiting ahead, we have the privilege of bringing the first moments of this morning into the presence of our heavenly Father. He is never too busy to hear us, never distant from our prayers and never indifferent to the concerns we quietly carry within our hearts. Psalm 5:3 (NIV) “In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.” What a wonderful pattern for beginning the day. We are invited not only to pray, but also to wait with expectation, believing that God is already at work in ways we cannot yet see. Prayer is not our last response when everything else has failed; it is our first conversation with the God who lovingly walks ahead of us. So today, let's gently remind ourselves that fear will not win, because Jesus Christ faithfully hears every sincere prayer and leads us with perfect wisdom.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningJames 1:5 — Ask God for Wisdom Live from London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Brisbane • Auckland • Singapore • Charlotte • Bogotá WISDOM • CLARITY • TRUST Good morning, and welcome to DailyPrayer.uk. I'm Reverend Ben Cooper. As this day continues to unfold, let's pause for a few moments, open God's Word and invite the Lord to shape our thinking with His wisdom. There are decisions that appear straightforward, and there are others that require patience, discernment and prayer. Sometimes the next step is obvious, while at other times we quietly wonder which direction will honour God most. Our heavenly Father understands those moments completely. He does not criticise us for asking; instead, He welcomes us to come with open hearts, knowing that His wisdom is given generously to all who seek Him James 1:5 (NIV) “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” What a reassuring promise for today. We are not expected to carry the weight of every decision alone. The Lord delights in guiding those who humbly seek Him, often giving quiet discernment, steady conviction and peaceful assurance as we walk with Him. His wisdom helps us see beyond the immediate moment and leads us towards choices marked by grace, truth and compassion. So today, let's gently remind ourselves that fear will not win, because Jesus Christ generously gives wisdom to every heart that sincerely asks. Father, thank You for welcoming us whenever we come to You. Thank You that You never grow impatient with our questions and that You delight in leading Your children with kindness and wisdom. Lord Jesus, bless every listener today. Bring healing to those who are unwell, clarity to those facing important decisions, patience to those waiting for answers and confidence to everyone seeking to follow Your will. Help us listen carefully, respond faithfully and honour You in every choice we make. Holy Spirit, cultivate discernment within us, guide our thoughts with gentleness and help us reflect the wisdom of Christ in our words and actions today. Across the world, from Brisbane to Auckland, from Singapore to Charlotte and Bogotá, may every listener discover the confidence that comes from seeking God's wisdom with a humble and trusting heart.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningHebrews 10:23 — Hold Unswervingly to the Hope We Profess Live from London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Melbourne • Wellington • Singapore • Dallas • Lima HOPE • FAITHFULNESS • ENDURANCE Welcome to DailyPrayer.uk. I'm Reverend Ben Cooper. Thank you for taking these few moments in the middle of your day. Wherever you find yourself today, let's pause together, open God's Word and remember the certainty of God's faithful promises. There are seasons when the future feels unclear. Plans can change, unexpected challenges appear and hopes may be tested in ways we never imagined. Yet the foundation of our confidence has never rested upon changing circumstances. It rests upon the unchanging character of God, whose promises remain dependable through every season of life. Hebrews 10:23 (NIV) “Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.” What a reassuring truth to carry into today. We do not hold on because we possess extraordinary strength. We hold on because the God who made the promise has never failed His people. His faithfulness reaches into every uncertainty, His goodness remains constant and His love continues to steady every heart that looks to Him. Even when the road ahead cannot be fully seen, we can continue with quiet confidence because our future rests securely in His faithful hands. So today, let's gently remind ourselves that fear will not win, because Jesus Christ is faithful yesterday, today and forever, and every promise He has spoken remains trustworthy. Father, thank You for every promise You have faithfully fulfilled. Thank You that Your character never changes and that Your goodness continues to lead us with hope and confidence. Lord Jesus, bless every listener today. Bring healing to those who are unwell, encouragement to those whose hope has grown faint, renewed confidence to those facing uncertain days and deep assurance to everyone waiting upon Your timing. Help us keep our eyes upon You and trust Your faithfulness in every season. Holy Spirit, strengthen our hearts, deepen our confidence in God's promises and help us become people who quietly reflect hope wherever You lead us. Across the world, from Melbourne to Wellington, from Singapore to Dallas and Lima, may every listener continue this day strengthened by the faithful promises of God and encouraged by His unfailing love.

Adelaide • Queenstown • Singapore • Denver • Montevideo REFUGE • COMFORT • PEACE Good evening, and welcome to DailyPrayer.uk. I'm Reverend Ben Cooper. As another day begins to draw towards its close, let's pause together for a few quiet moments, open God's Word and find renewed confidence in the goodness of God. Some days ask more of us than we expected. We have carried responsibilities, faced unexpected disappointments and perhaps quietly hidden worries that no one else has seen. Yet none of these things change who God is. His goodness is not diminished by difficult days, and His loving care remains a secure refuge for every heart that turns towards Him. Nahum 1:7 (NIV) “The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him.” What a comforting promise to receive this evening.

So this evening, let's gently remind ourselves that fear will not win, because Jesus Christ remains our safe refuge, surrounding us with His steadfast love and gracious care. Father, thank You that Your goodness remains constant through every season of life. Thank You that Your presence is a place of welcome, safety and lasting hope. Lord Jesus, bless every listener this evening. Bring healing to those who are unwell, comfort to those carrying hidden grief, renewed courage to those facing uncertain circumstances and peaceful assurance to everyone who longs to know Your nearness. Help us find our security in You rather than in changing situations. Holy Spirit, draw us closer to the Father's heart, strengthen our confidence in His goodness and help us become people who reflect His kindness to others. Across the world, from Adelaide to Queenstown, from Singapore to Denver and Montevideo, may every listener finish this day resting in the confidence that the Lord is good and His loving care never fails.

Hobart • Hamilton • Singapore • Houston • Buenos Aires ASSURANCE • STABILITY • REST Good evening, and welcome to DailyPrayer.uk. I'm Reverend Ben Cooper. Thank you for spending these closing moments of the day with me. Before the night begins, let's pause together, open God's Word and quietly place our attention upon the One who never changes. Throughout today, many things may have competed for our focus. Some moments brought joy, others brought pressure, and perhaps there were times when our thoughts became distracted by uncertainty. Yet tonight we are gently invited to lift our eyes above everything that changes and fix our hearts upon the Lord, whose presence remains constant through every season of life. Psalm 16:8 (NIV) “I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.” What a wonderful promise to carry into this evening. The closer our hearts remain to Christ, the steadier our lives become. His presence gives us confidence for tomorrow, His love settles anxious thoughts and His faithfulness becomes the firm ground beneath our feet. We may not know everything that tomorrow will bring, but we know the One who will walk with us into it. So tonight, let's gently remind ourselves that fear will not win, because Jesus Christ remains at our side, giving us quiet confidence that cannot be shaken. Father, thank You for Your constant presence throughout this day. Thank You that You have remained faithful in every moment, whether we recognised it or not. Lord Jesus, bless every listener tonight. Bring healing to those who are unwell, comfort to those who feel lonely, peaceful assurance to those carrying tomorrow's concerns and deep, refreshing rest to every weary heart. Help us end this day with our confidence resting securely in You. Holy Spirit, keep our hearts centred upon Christ, strengthen our trust through the night and prepare us to rise tomorrow with renewed hope and joyful expectation.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningPsalm 46:10 — Be Still, and Know That I Am God Live from London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Adelaide • Queenstown • Singapore • Denver • Montevideo STILLNESS • PEACE • TRUST Good evening, and welcome to DailyPrayer.uk. I'm Reverend Ben Cooper. As this day begins to slow, let's take a few quiet moments together. Open your heart to God's Word, allow your breathing to settle and remember that His presence is unchanged, whatever this day has held. There are days when life moves so quickly that we hardly notice how tired our minds have become. One responsibility follows another, conversations continue to echo within us and tomorrow already seems to be asking for our attention. In the middle of life's constant movement, God gives us a gracious invitation—not to escape life, but to pause long enough to remember that He remains God over every circumstance. Psalm 46:10 (NIV) “Be still, and know that I am God.” What a simple yet life-giving promise. Stillness is not about doing nothing; it is about placing ourselves once again beneath God's loving authority. As we stop striving to carry everything ourselves, our perspective begins to change. We remember that the Lord has not lost control, His purposes remain secure and His faithful love continues to surround us. So this evening, let's gently remind ourselves that fear will not win, because Jesus Christ is our unchanging refuge, and in His presence we find a peace that steadies every anxious heart. Father, thank You for inviting us to rest in You. Thank You that when life feels hurried, You remain constant, patient and full of compassion. Lord Jesus, bless every listener this evening. Bring healing to those who are unwell, peace to those carrying hidden concerns, wisdom to those facing tomorrow's decisions and quiet confidence to everyone who feels overwhelmed. Help us leave behind today's striving and rediscover the calm that comes from trusting You. Holy Spirit, settle our thoughts, renew our perspective and teach us to recognise Your gentle presence in both the silence and the activity of everyday life. Across the world, from Adelaide to Queenstown, from Singapore to Denver and Montevideo, may every listener finish this day with a quieter heart, knowing that God remains faithful and worthy of complete trust.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningIsaiah 40:29–31 — He Gives Strength to the Weary Live from London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Melbourne • Wellington • Singapore • Houston • Lima STRENGTH • RENEWAL • HOPE Welcome to DailyPrayer.uk. I'm Reverend Ben Cooper. Thank you for joining me in the middle of your day. Whatever this day has already brought, let's pause together, open God's Word and receive fresh encouragement from the Lord. There are times when we quietly admit that we are tired. Not only physically, but deep within our hearts. Responsibilities, disappointments and constant demands can slowly drain our energy. Yet our heavenly Father never turns away the weary. Instead, He lovingly meets us with fresh strength, reminding us that we do not have to carry today's burdens by ourselves. Isaiah 40:29–31 (NIV) “He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak… but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” What a comforting promise for today. God is not asking us to pretend we are strong enough on our own. He simply invites us to place our hope in Him. As we do, He quietly renews what has become tired within us. He restores courage where fear has lingered, breathes hope into discouraged hearts and gently reminds us that His faithfulness is greater than our weakness. So today, let's gently remind ourselves that fear will not win, because Jesus Christ renews every heart that places its hope in Him. Father, thank You for seeing every weary heart and every hidden burden. Thank You that Your compassion never grows tired and that Your strength is always available to those who look to You. Lord Jesus, bless every listener today. Bring healing to those who are unwell, fresh courage to those who feel exhausted, renewed hope to those who have become discouraged and quiet confidence to everyone facing difficult circumstances. Lift our eyes towards You and remind us that tomorrow's strength begins with today's trust. Holy Spirit, breathe fresh life into our hearts, restore our joy and help us continue this day with renewed faith, renewed hope and renewed peace. Across the world, from Melbourne to Wellington, from Singapore to Houston and Lima, may every listener discover the quiet strength that comes from hoping in the Lord and experience His faithful renewal today.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningColossians 3:15 — Let the Peace of Christ Rule Your Heart Live from London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Brisbane • Auckland • Singapore • Atlanta • Bogotá PEACE • STABILITY • TRUST Good morning, and welcome to DailyPrayer.uk. I'm Reverend Ben Cooper. Thank you for taking these moments to pause. As the day gathers momentum, let's turn our attention away from the noise around us and towards the peace that only Jesus Christ can give. There are times when life becomes loud. Deadlines compete for our attention, unexpected situations interrupt our plans and emotions can begin to pull us in different directions. In those moments, Christ does not promise a life without pressure, but He does offer something far deeper. He offers a peace that steadies the heart, settles the mind and quietly reminds us that He remains Lord over every circumstance. Colossians 3:15 (NIV) “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.” What a wonderful invitation for today. The peace of Christ is not fragile or temporary. It becomes the quiet authority within us, helping us choose patience over frustration, compassion over anger and faith over fear. As His peace shapes our hearts, our responses begin to reflect His character, even when life feels demanding. So today, let's gently remind ourselves that fear will not win, because Jesus Christ reigns with a peace that is stronger than every pressure we may face. Father, thank You for the gift of Your peace that reaches places where words cannot. Thank You that Your calm presence is not shaken by the changing circumstances of this world. Lord Jesus, bless every listener today. Bring healing to those who are unwell, calm to anxious hearts, wisdom to those facing demanding situations and renewed strength to everyone feeling emotionally stretched. Help us to carry Your peace into every conversation and every decision we make today. Holy Spirit, establish the peace of Christ deep within our hearts and help us become people who bring reassurance, kindness and hope wherever we go. Across the world, from Brisbane to Auckland, from Singapore to Atlanta and Bogotá, may every listener discover the steady peace of Christ that remains unshaken in every season.

His faithfulness has already arrived before this morning ever began. Psalm 143:8 (NIV) “Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you.

As the evening settles around us, let's pause together, open God's Word and gently place our thoughts into the faithful care of God. As another day comes to its close, our minds can still be busy. We replay conversations, think about tomorrow and carry questions that remain unanswered. Yet the Lord does not ask us to solve everything before we rest. Instead, He lovingly invites us to fix our hearts upon Him, discovering a peace that reaches deeper than our circumstances and steadies us from within. Isaiah 26:3 (NIV) “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.” What a beautiful promise for this evening. God's peace is not fragile or uncertain.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningPsalm 3:5 — I Lay Down and Slept Live from London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Hobart • Hamilton • Singapore • Dallas • Buenos Aires REST • RENEWAL • CONFIDENCE Good evening, and welcome to DailyPrayer.uk. I'm Reverend Ben Cooper. Thank you for ending this day with me. Before the night unfolds, let's pause together, open God's Word and quietly entrust ourselves to the faithful care of God. The demands of today have now come to an end. Some moments have brought joy, others have stretched our hearts and there may still be questions waiting for tomorrow. Yet tonight, we are invited to stop striving, loosen our grip on everything we cannot control and settle into the quiet assurance that the Lord will sustain us through the night. Our rest is not earned by having a perfect day; it is received as a gift from a faithful Father. Psalm 3:5 (NIV) “I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.” What a beautiful promise to carry into this evening. Every new morning is evidence of God's continuing faithfulness. While our bodies rest, He gently renews our strength, refreshes our hearts and prepares us for another day of walking with Him. We do not place our confidence in tomorrow itself; we place our confidence in the God who will be with us when tomorrow arrives. So tonight, let's gently remind ourselves that fear will not win, because Jesus Christ faithfully sustains us through the night and lovingly awakens us with new mercy.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningPhilippians 4:6–7 — Leave Your Worries With God Live from London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Adelaide • Queenstown • Singapore • Denver • Montevide PRAYER • PEACE • SURRENDER Good evening, and welcome to DailyPrayer.uk. I'm Reverend Ben Cooper. Thank you for joining me as this day begins to draw to a close. Before we continue into the evening, let's pause together, open God's Word and place every concern into the loving hands of God. Some days leave our minds full long after the work has finished. Conversations replay themselves, unanswered questions remain and tomorrow quietly waits for our attention. The Lord understands how easily our hearts become burdened. He does not ask us to carry every concern alone. Instead, He lovingly invites us to bring everything to Him in prayer, knowing that His peace is greater than anything we are carrying. Philippians 4:6–7 (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… will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” What a reassuring invitation for this evening. Every prayer we whisper is heard by our heavenly Father, and every burden we place into His hands is met with His faithful care. His peace does not depend upon perfect circumstances; it rests upon His unchanging character. As we release today's concerns, our hearts become quieter, our minds become steadier and our confidence rests once again in Christ. So this evening, let's gently remind ourselves that fear will not win, because Jesus Christ surrounds our hearts with a peace that reaches deeper than every worry. Father, thank You that You welcome every prayer, every sigh and every unspoken concern. Thank You that Your peace is always available to those who seek You with trusting hearts. Lord Jesus, bless every listener this evening. Bring healing to those who are unwell, comfort to those carrying heavy concerns, calm to anxious minds and renewed assurance to everyone feeling emotionally weary. Teach us to exchange anxiety for prayer and worry for Your perfect peace. Holy Spirit, quiet every restless thought, guard our hearts with the peace of Christ and help us finish this day resting confidently in God's faithful love. Across the world, from Adelaide to Queenstown, from Singapore to Denver and Montevideo, may every listener discover the deep peace that comes from placing every concern into the hands of God. Jesús, pongo todas mis preocupaciones en Tus manos. Jesus, entrego todas as minhas preocupações nas Tuas mãos. Jesus, inilalagay ko ang lahat ng aking alalahanin sa Iyong mga kamay. Amen.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningProverbs 3:5–6 — Trust God With Every Decision Live from London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Brisbane • Auckland • Singapore • Atlanta • Mexico City TRUST • DIRECTION • CONFIDENCE Good morning, and welcome to DailyPrayer.uk. I'm Reverend Ben Cooper. Thank you for joining me today. Let's pause together, open God's Word and allow His truth to settle our hearts before we continue with the responsibilities of this day. There are moments when life presents us with decisions that seem larger than our experience. We naturally want every answer before taking the next step, yet God gently teaches us that trust often comes before understanding. Faith is not having every detail explained; it is choosing to place our confidence in the One who sees the beginning, the middle and the end with perfect clarity. Proverbs 3:5–6 (NIV) “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” What a reassuring promise for today. The Lord is inviting us to release the pressure of having to work everything out alone. As we place today's choices into His capable hands, He gives quiet assurance, steady direction and wisdom for each step we take. We may not yet see the whole picture, but we can confidently trust the God who already does. So today, let's gently remind ourselves that fear will not win, because Jesus Christ faithfully leads every life that is willingly entrusted to Him. Father, thank You that Your wisdom reaches beyond our understanding and Your love never asks us to walk through uncertainty alone. Thank You that You remain faithful even when our vision is limited. Lord Jesus, bless every listener today. Bring healing to those who are unwell, peace to those making difficult decisions, patience to those waiting for answers and renewed confidence to everyone seeking Your will. Help us surrender today's plans into Your hands with willing and trusting hearts. Holy Spirit, teach us to listen more carefully, trust more deeply and recognise Your gentle leading in both small and significant decisions. Across the world, from Brisbane to Auckland, from Singapore to Atlanta and Mexico City, may every listener discover the freedom that comes from trusting God more than their own understanding.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningIsaiah 41:10 — Do Not Fear, I Am With You Live from London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope Perth • Christchurch • Singapore • Nashville • Rio de Janeiro COURAGE • STRENGTH • GOD'S PRESENCE Good morning, and welcome to DailyPrayer.uk. I'm Reverend Ben Cooper. Thank you for joining me as we begin another day together. Wherever you are in the world, let's pause, open God's Word and place this day into His hands. There are mornings when the weight of responsibility seems to arrive before we have even taken our first step. Our minds begin planning, our hearts begin carrying concerns and the demands of life can feel larger than our strength. Yet God gently speaks into that place of uncertainty, reminding us that His presence is not waiting for us somewhere later in the day. He is already with us, ready to strengthen, uphold and encourage us before the day gathers pace. Isaiah 41:10 (NIV) “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” What a powerful promise to receive this morning. Our confidence does not rest in our own ability but in the unwavering faithfulness of the Lord. When we feel weak, He becomes our strength. When we feel uncertain, He remains unchanging. When we wonder if we are enough, He reminds us that His grace is always sufficient. So today, let's gently remind ourselves that fear will not win, because Jesus Christ is holding us securely with His loving and mighty hand. Father, thank You for the gift of a new beginning. Thank You that before a single decision is made or a single conversation begins, You have already promised to be our strength and our help. Lord Jesus, bless every listener today. Bring healing to those who are unwell, courage to those facing uncertainty, peace to anxious hearts and fresh hope to everyone stepping into a new week. Help us to walk steadily, speak kindly and trust You completely in every circumstance. Holy Spirit, renew our minds, strengthen our faith and help us recognise Your quiet presence in both the ordinary and the unexpected moments of today. Across the world, from Perth to Christchurch, from Singapore to Nashville and Rio de Janeiro, may every listener move into this day with confidence, knowing that the Lord Himself is holding them with everlasting love.

Many believers wonder why the struggle with sin continues after salvation. In this episode, Dave Jenkins explains what Romans 7 teaches about the ongoing battle with sin, the difference between justification and sanctification, and why believers can find hope in Christ even amid spiritual conflict. Looking at Romans 6–8, Galatians 5, Philippians 1:6, and church history, this episode helps Christians understand why the fight against sin continues and how God uses that struggle to grow His people in holiness.

Where do you run when life feels unstable? Psalm 71 gives us a picture of someone facing affliction, accusation, aging, weakness, and uncertainty. The psalmist asks God to be a “rock of refuge” to which he can continually come. In other words, he asks God to be his home. This message explores how we often build homes for our anxious hearts through control, success, family stability, reputation, finances, or the dream of a life that cannot be shaken. But when affliction and accusation come, those homes cannot hold. The good news of Psalm 71 is not that Christianity promises an easy or stable life. It does not. The promise is that when life is not steady, someone is holding you. Jesus became the ultimate homeless exile, took the affliction and accusation our sin deserved, and opened the way for us to come home to God. In this sermon, we explore what it means to run to God as our refuge, to trust His righteousness, to hope in Christ, and to praise Him even in the middle of hardship.
Have you ever become so familiar with your struggle that it started to shape your identity? In episode three of our Summer Recap Series, Shelley Giglio is joined by Christine Caine as she opens John 5 and unpacks the story of the man who sat beside the Pool of Bethesda waiting for his breakthrough. Through Scripture and personal testimony, Christine challenges us to consider the ways we've become comfortable sitting in disappointment, bitterness, fear, shame, or unbelief—and reminds us that Jesus is still asking, "Do you want to be healed?" Healing isn't just about leaving something behind; it's about stepping into the purpose God has prepared for us. Whether you're carrying wounds from your past, struggling to trust God with your future, or simply feeling stuck in your faith, this message will encourage you to get up, pick up your mat, and walk in the freedom Jesus has already made available. If you're ready to stop being defined by your issue and start living from your identity as a daughter of God, this episode is for you. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Where are your fountains? Are they in material things, physical fitness, relationships, career success, reputation, family name, or personal identity? In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef reflects on Psalm 87:7 and the joyful confession of every surrendered believer: “All my fountains are in you.” Everything in this world is unstable. Financial markets rise and fall. Friends and family—even Christian friends—may fail us. Titles, reputations, and accomplishments can fade. But the grace of God never fails. The peace Christ purchased at the cross will never run dry because it flows from His inexhaustible fountain of grace. Dr. Youssef explains that true peace means being bound together by the unearned, unmerited love of God. Only His matchless grace can bind a fragmented heart, restore broken relationships, reconcile families and communities, and make believers ambassadors of His eternal Kingdom. Jesus is the Rock of Ages and the source of living water, promising that rivers of living water will flow from within all who believe in Him. When your hope is rooted in Christ alone, you will never run dry. You will become a peacemaker, a messenger of grace, and a true friend to the lost as you share the hope that never disappoints. Prayer: God, I pray that all my fountains would be in You alone. Thank You for Your inexhaustible fountain of grace. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “As they make music they will sing, ‘All my fountains are in you'” (Psalm 87:7). Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

We all encounter pain and suffering, but the difference is in how we handle those inevitable trials. The Christian has a choice to make in the face of them; we can rejoice because of our hope in Christ; or become miserable and angry, which only makes the suffering worse. Today on Sound Doctrine, Pastor Jeff Johnson continues his study of First Samuel, where we find a King in training. David was no stranger to suffering, and how he handles his suffering serves as an example for us on how to handle our own.

Please be aware that this content is not suitable for young children. George Carneal grew up in the '70s, raised by a Southern Baptist minister in the ultra-conservative Bible Belt where his world revolved around the church, country fried chicken and trying to fit in with other boys. As disco music pulsated through the speakers in his bedroom, he plotted his escape from the misery and boredom of Southern suburbia before landing in Los Angeles; a city of glitz and hedonism. Much like Alice as she traveled through the looking glass, this is George's journey through a queer culture fantasyland filled with drag queens, drugs and dangerous situations before discovering healing, joy and peace in Christ. In this episode, George, author of the book From Queer to Christ, shares his painful journey through a secular world at odds with homosexuality, in addition to a religious world that is hostile to homosexuals. He is hopeful that sharing his story through the eyes and mind of a confused child dealing with a same-sex attraction will give some insight into the pain and difficulty of navigating those two worlds. After 25 years of living as a gay man God brought him out of that lifestyle and into His glorious truth. His story will help parents of children of all ages understand how best to influence them for God, as well as teens and adults who are struggling with the LGBTQ agenda in their own lives. George says that he wrote the book for three reasons: To give Christians insight into what it's like for someone dealing with same-sex attraction and their struggle with faith To give hope to parents who have children in the LGBTQ lifestyle To give LGBTQ individuals who are struggling with this lifestyle to understand that there's a different narrative and that they are being lied to and expose those lies and find peace and give them hope George has been out of that lifestyle for almost 17 years now and has a passion to help others learn the truth. Through his testimony he wants others to know that deliverance from bondage is possible and there is hope in Christ. Resources Scripture references: My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. – John 10:27 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. – 2 Timothy 1:7 George's book, From Queer to Christ and website GeorgeCarneal.com Have questions?

Pastor TJ teaches through Psalms 46, reminding believers that God is their refuge, strength, and ever-present help in times of trouble. Using the story of King Hezekiah and the Assyrian siege as background, he explains that God's people do not need to fear, even when life feels chaotic, uncertain, or overwhelming, because God is sovereign over every circumstance. TJ emphasizes that the refuges and sources of strength we build for ourselves will eventually fail, but God alone is a secure fortress who never fails His people. He also explains that the command to "be still and know that I am God" is not merely a call to quietness, but a call to stop striving, trust God's authority, and remember that God will ultimately be exalted over all nations. Throughout the sermon, TJ encourages Christians to run to God first in seasons of crisis, finding peace, strength, and hope in Christ rather than in circumstances, worldly security, or their own abilities.

No matter how dark your past may be, God's light shines brighter.No wound is too deep.No trauma is too severe.And no life is beyond the reach of Jesus Christ.In this powerful and deeply moving conversation, John Martin sits down with Jahan Berns to share an incredible testimony of survival, healing, and God's redeeming power.Born and raised in Uganda during a time of civil war and political unrest, Jahan's childhood was marked by profound loss and hardship. Her father, a military leader, was assassinated when she was only six years old, leaving her family devastated and vulnerable.Already living in the middle of a war-torn nation, Jahan suddenly found herself navigating grief, uncertainty, and fear at an age when most children are simply learning about life.Raised in a Muslim household, Jahan watched as her mother struggled with overwhelming depression after her father's death. Eventually, searching for answers and relief, her mother became involved in occult practices, opening doors that brought even deeper darkness into their lives.Jahan shares how those years were marked by spiritual oppression, trauma, abuse, and emotional pain. By the time she reached her teenage years, she was carrying wounds that seemed impossible to overcome.But God had another plan.While attending a boarding school founded by Christian missionaries, Jahan began hearing the Gospel for the first time. She encountered believers whose lives reflected genuine love, compassion, and faith.More importantly, she encountered Jesus.At just fifteen years old, Jahan experienced a powerful transformation and surrendered her life to Christ. That decision launched a lifelong journey of healing, freedom, and discovering her true identity in God.As she grew in her faith, Jahan overcame intense spiritual battles, endured persecution for becoming a Christian, and developed a deep passion for helping others find the same freedom she had found through Christ.Her journey eventually led her to law school, where she met her husband, and later to the United States, where she became an attorney with a prestigious law firm. By every worldly standard, she had achieved success.But once again, God had a different calling.Despite a thriving legal career, God began stirring her heart toward ministry. In an act of surrender, Jahan left behind the security and prestige of practicing law to found Triumph of Hope, a ministry dedicated to sharing the Gospel, equipping believers, and helping people find freedom from spiritual oppression.Throughout the conversation, Jahan offers profound insight into spiritual warfare, healing, and the authority believers have through Jesus Christ. She reminds listeners that while spiritual battles are real, God has not left His children defenseless.Through Christ, believers have access to:Truth through God's Word.Healing through His presence.Freedom through the power of the cross.And victory through the authority of Jesus.Jahan encourages anyone struggling with fear, depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, spiritual oppression, or hopelessness to remember this truth:Jesus is greater.No matter what you are facing today, God's power is stronger than your pain, and His love reaches deeper than your deepest wound.This conversation is a reminder to:Stay grounded in God's Word.Develop a daily prayer life.Get connected to a Bible-believing church.Surround yourself with strong Christian community.And never stop believing that God can restore what feels impossible.Your past does not define you.Your pain is not your identity.And your story is not over.What would happen if you fully trusted Jesus with the areas of your life that still need healing?Contact Jahan Berns:
Raised: When Jesus Calls the Dead to Life – John 11:27–57 In Episode 141 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane explore one of the most powerful miracles in all of Scripture—the raising of Lazarus in John 11:27–57. As grief, doubt, hope, and faith collide, Jesus declares Himself to be “the resurrection and the life” before calling Lazarus from the tomb. Together, they unpack what this miracle reveals about the heart of God, the power of belief, and how Jesus often works in ways that stretch our faith beyond what we can see. This chapter is not only about a man being raised from the dead—it's about a Savior who brings life into every place that feels hopeless, buried, or beyond redemption. If you've ever wondered whether God can still move in what feels impossible, this conversation is a reminder that Jesus specializes in resurrection. What area of my life feels beyond hope—and am I willing to believe that Jesus still brings dead things back to life?____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

When God's people respond with generosity, real lives are changed—and doors open for hope that lasts. That has been the story behind FaithFi's partnership with Heart for Lebanon, a ministry serving families displaced by the ongoing crisis in Lebanon. On today's show, we welcomed May-Lee Melki, U.S. Managing Director of Heart for Lebanon, to share what God has already made possible through the generosity of FaithFi listeners—and why the need remains urgent. Over the past few months, May-Lee and her father, Camille, have helped listeners understand the tremendous challenges facing families in Lebanon. The war has displaced thousands, placed communities under severe strain, and left many families carrying emotional, physical, and spiritual burdens. While there have been temporary pauses in the fighting, May-Lee explained that a ceasefire has not meant true peace for many families. “Families are beginning to experience different effects of the ongoing war, instability, and repeated disruption,” she said. “There's a lot of fear, and there's a lot of uncertainty.” Many are still facing food insecurity, damaged infrastructure, interrupted livelihoods, and the constant fear that conditions could worsen without warning. Generosity That Has Already Made a Difference FaithFi listeners originally set out to help 275 displaced families in Lebanon. By God's grace, that goal has now been met. Those 275 families represent more than 1,000 individuals receiving life-sustaining support through Heart for Lebanon. That support includes food, mattresses, blankets, hygiene kits, diapers for adults and children, and care for newborns entering a world marked by war and uncertainty. But the impact goes beyond supplies. May-Lee shared the story of Ibrahim, a six-year-old boy whose family had to flee in the middle of the night as violence intensified. His parents carried their children and ran into the unknown, unsure where help would come from. Through the generosity of Faith and Finance listeners and the ministry of Heart for Lebanon, Ibrahim's family received practical care and ongoing support. His mother later told the team, “Please don't stop your children's activities, even throughout the war.” Ibrahim's favorite Bible story is Jesus feeding the 5,000. For him, that story has become deeply personal. He told the team, “Jesus loves us, and I know He will not let us go hungry.” That is more than humanitarian aid. It is a picture of God's provision working through His people. Meeting Physical Needs and Building Trust Heart for Lebanon's ministry begins by meeting urgent physical needs wherever families are—whether in shelters, makeshift tent settlements, or other temporary spaces. Food, bedding, and hygiene supplies help families survive while preserving their dignity. But the ministry does not stop there. May-Lee emphasized that Heart for Lebanon is not simply dropping off supplies and leaving. Their team is present for the long haul, walking with families through an open-ended season of displacement and uncertainty. That consistent presence creates trust. And trust opens the door to deeper conversations about faith, hope, and the love of Christ. May-Lee shared the story of Najwa, a woman who first came to Heart for Lebanon looking for food for her family. Over time, through relationships with the team, she found something she had not expected. She said her heart had been longing for a kind of spiritual nourishment she did not even know existed. Through the ministry's care and the message of the gospel, Najwa came to understand that she had not been forgotten by God. That kind of transformation takes time. It does not happen through a single package of supplies. It happens as God's people listen, serve, build relationships, and bring the hope of Christ into the deepest places of need. Hope in the Midst of Crisis In times of crisis, hearts are often more open than before. But May-Lee said that what truly points people to Jesus is not only the immediacy of help but also the authenticity of a long-term relationship. Heart for Lebanon's team is made up of local believers serving other locals—many of whom are experiencing the same hardships. Some members of the team in southern Lebanon have been displaced themselves, yet they continue to serve. That shared experience gives their ministry a unique credibility. Families see that these believers are not there temporarily. They are staying, serving, and carrying the burden. As a result, families are attending Bible studies in growing numbers, asking questions about faith, and seeking spiritual truth. May-Lee shared another story of a single mother named Nawal, who said, “Even during the war, someone was still thinking about us.” Through that care, she began to understand Jesus' love in a tangible way. “He's with me even in my darkest hour,” she said. That is the opportunity before Heart for Lebanon—to model the gospel in action during an ongoing crisis. Caring for the Whole Person The needs in Lebanon are not only physical. Children have witnessed things no child should have to see. Families have lost homes, routines, stability, and a sense of safety. Heart for Lebanon is helping turn crowded shelters and temporary spaces into places of care. Their team provides trauma-informed activities, play, art, and listening—simple but meaningful ways to help children process fear and begin to experience safety again. The ministry's approach is holistic because people are whole persons, made in the image of God. Food and supplies matter. Dignity matters. Emotional care matters. And above all, eternal hope in Christ matters. May-Lee put it plainly: tangible aid is important because it restores dignity, but it also becomes a vehicle for building trust and creating relationships that can flourish for God's Kingdom. The Need Remains Great Because of the generosity of Faith and Finance listeners, more than 275 displaced families are already receiving ongoing care. We praise God for that. But the need remains tremendous. Heart for Lebanon has committed to continue supporting these families with monthly care, including food, bedding, hygiene supplies, and relational support. They also hope to expand that care to reach even more families who are still facing fear, displacement, and uncertainty. Every $90 given helps provide a full month of care for a displaced family, while also allowing Heart for Lebanon to continue building relationships and sharing the hope of Christ. If you would like to help, visit FaithFi.com/Lebanon or text the word FAITH to 98656. When God's people respond with generosity, families receive more than temporary relief. They receive care, dignity, relationship, and a glimpse of the lasting hope found only in Christ. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: I received a letter from Social Security about the Social Security Fairness Act and the end of the Windfall Elimination Provision. They also deposited a lump sum into my checking account. I'm confused about why I received it, what it means, and whether I'll owe taxes on it. A friend borrowed about $500 from a company called Elastic, but the balance quickly grew to around $3,200. My family and I want to help her pay it off, but I'm concerned it may be predatory or a scam. How can we protect her, and what steps should we take? My husband and I are 57 and 54. We once had about $200,000 in savings, but after COVID and serious health and life challenges, that money is gone. We earn about $65,000 a year, have only about $500 across our accounts, and are living paycheck to paycheck. We each have about $25,000 in life insurance or retirement, but we're essentially starting over. How can we rebuild a financial plan at this stage of life?

This week, Zach talked about the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus from Luke 16, showing how Jesus contrasts two very different lives and their eternal outcomes. Using stories from El Salvador, Zach reminded students that our hope in Christ is enough and that eternity with God makes the struggles of this life worth enduring. He emphasized that Jesus came not to scare people into faith, but to rescue them through His grace and offer salvation to everyone. Zach concluded by challenging students to love and care for others, reminding them that the choices they make have both present and eternal consequences.
Jun 21st | Fathers day | Psalm 78:1-8In this powerful Father's Day message, Derrick Jackson opens with the remarkable story of his grandfather, a World War II veteran who landed in Normandy just days after D-Day and carried both the scars of battle and a legacy of quiet faithfulness. Through that story, Derrick draws a compelling connection to Psalm 78, where Asaph reminds God's people that every generation is responsible for passing on the stories of God's faithfulness.Why do stories matter? Because the most important stories are always one generation away from being forgotten. In Psalm 78, we discover that faith rarely dies in open rebellion—it usually dies in silence. Derrick challenges parents, grandparents, church leaders, and every believer to embrace their calling as storytellers of God's grace, mercy, provision, and salvation.This message explores three timeless truths: the stories must be heard, the stories must be told, and the stories must produce hope. Along the way, listeners are reminded that the greatest story ever told is the Gospel of Jesus Christ—the story of a Savior who lived, died, and rose again to redeem sinners and transform families for generations to come.Whether you're a parent seeking to leave a spiritual legacy, a believer who has grown silent about God's work in your life, or someone searching for hope in Christ, this message will encourage you to make sure the story survives.Do you know JESUS? https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesusNeed PRAYER? https://www.nbgilmer.org/praySupport through GIVING: https://www.nbbctx.org/giving
Psalm 95 begins with a call to worship and ends with a warning against hardening our hearts in unbelief.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme, "Under Pressure," which explores how pressure reveals where we run, and we focused on Psalm 46. Nadia Gordynsky joined us to share how the loss of her son opened her eyes to the value of every unborn life and led to a ministry that now helps mothers in crisis choose life and find hope in Christ. Nadia is the Founder, President, and CEO of Save a Life International. Greg Dempster joined us to talk about the pressure leaders carry when their value is tied to performance, explaining how God invites us to stop building our lives on our own strength and to receive the care only He can give. Greg is the Founder and Director of ChristLife Ministries. He's also been a senior leader, elder, and ministry director. You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

Walking through the aisles of a home décor store, surrounded by signs declaring "Peace," "Joy," "Hope," and "Strength" — it's a lovely sight, but Emily Rose Massey asks the question most of us don't stop to consider: are those words actually rooted in anything real? Because hope that isn't anchored in Christ is just a sentiment — beautiful to display, but powerless when the storms come. In this episode, Emily draws a clear and urgent distinction between the hollow encouragement the world offers and the true, anchored hope that only God's Word can produce in the hearts of His people. True hope, Emily reminds us, is not something we can conjure through positive thinking or a well-timed pep talk. It is a gift given by the Holy Spirit, cultivated through Scripture, and grounded in the unshakable faithfulness of God. Romans 15:4 tells us that everything written in the Word was written for our instruction — so that through perseverance and the encouragement of Scripture, we might have hope. That hope lifts our eyes above the chaos of our circumstances and fixes them on what is eternal. And it is that eternal perspective — the certainty of a heavenly home and the return of Christ — that fuels us to keep putting one foot in front of the other, no matter how dark things become. Today's Bible Verse "For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope." — Romans 15:4, NASB Ponder Today Hope rooted in anything other than Christ is empty. Decorative signs, motivational quotes, and self-encouragement have their place — but they cannot sustain you through real suffering. Only hope anchored in Christ holds when the storm hits. True hope is a gift from the Holy Spirit, given through Scripture. The more we fill our hearts and minds with God's Word, the more our capacity for genuine, sustaining hope grows. This is not passive — it requires intentional, daily engagement with the Bible. An eternal perspective is your greatest weapon against despair. When you remember that this world is not your home, the chaos around you loses its power to define you. Being heavenly-minded during earthly trials is what keeps hope alive. Your feelings of hopelessness are not the final word. As children of God, we are called to move beyond what we feel and remind our hearts of what is true. The Holy Spirit is ready to help us in our weakness — we simply need to ask. The hope you carry is meant to be shared. You have been given an anchor in a world that is desperately adrift. That message of hope in Christ is not just for you — it is good news for the lost and hurting people around you. A Prayer for You Today Dear Heavenly Father, You have given me the gift of faith in Your Son, and my hope is not built on what this world offers — fleeting and fragile — but on what is eternal and settled. Help me guard my heart when my circumstances tempt me to give in to despair. Remind me that the chaos of this world cannot cause me to sink, because I am anchored in the hope of the heavenly home that awaits me. May I carry that message of hope to the lost and hurting around me. In Jesus' name, Amen.
