Send us a textWhere do you turn when your heart feels shattered and your spirit crushed? In this midnight prayer meditation, we lean into the comforting truth of Psalm 34:18: “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”This episode was created for anyone walking through the shadows of grief, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm. It's more than a prayer—it's a sacred moment to breathe, to weep, to hope. In our most fragile moments, God does not turn away. Instead, He draws near, offering divine comfort and unfailing love.Through vivid and powerful imagery, this prayer reminds us that God is not a distant observer. He is the breath in your lungs, the anchor in your storm, the light in your darkness, and the lamp guiding your next step. You'll be encouraged to come as you are—whether you're weary, questioning, or simply in need of peace.Rather than rushing past your pain, this devotional prayer honors it. It creates holy space for both honest lament and unshakable faith. This is for the listener who needs reassurance that brokenness is not the end of your story. God meets you there—with healing in His hands.As the prayer unfolds, we move from the rawness of struggle to a powerful declaration of freedom. You are not your situation. You are not the weight of your sorrow. You are a beloved child of the Most High—a God who is your rock, refuge, strength, redeemer, and relentless hope.If your soul is weary, if midnight feels heavy, if you need a word to hold onto—press play. Let this prayer wrap around you like a warm blanket and remind you that even now, even here, you are not alone.Support the showhttps://www.pastorbencooper.co.uk/https://www.rbchristianradio.net/

This is message 32 in the Isaiah series. Isaiah 33:1-24 God's people had failed to find help in human alliances, but Isaiah reminded them that real hope would never come from Egypt or diplomacy—it would come from the Lord. As Judge, He brings justice; as Lawgiver, He calls His people to holiness; and as King, He rules with righteousness, peace, and saving power. When God's people look to Him in faith, they find security not only from their enemies but from their own sin.

It is not a political awakening we need. It is not an educational awakening. It is not even a moral awakening. All those things will be affected if we have a true spiritual awakening sent by the Holy Spirit of God. This is what the conclusion of Hosea is all about. It brings us to the mighty moving of God in the world. How could a nation so ravaged and horribly destroyed live again? There is only one way. God must breathe life back into it. He is our only hope!

This is message 04 in The Power of His Name series. Psalms 33:18-22 Those who trust in God's holy name find joy, security, and hope, not because of their circumstances, but because of who He is. His name represents His unchanging character, His faithfulness, and His power to deliver. Throughout the Scripture, trust in His name brings rejoicing, provides refuges in times of affliction, and extends beyond Israel to all people. From the psalmist's declaration of joyful trust to the humbled remnant of Zephaniah's prophecy and the fulfillment of salvation in Christ. God's name remains the sure foundation for all who place their confidence in Him.

December 15th, 2024
In a world that often feels uncertain and overwhelming, it's easy to lose sight of the hope we have in Christ. But no matter the trials or struggles we face, our hope in God is steadfast and unshakable. This hope is not based on circumstances, but on His unchanging love and faithfulness. When we anchor our hearts in His promises, we can take joy, knowing that He is working all things together for our good. Our hope in God is the source of true joy, a joy that transcends our circumstances and strengthens us in every season.

Romans 12:12 2021 turned out to be a challenging year. My husband and I suffered through many difficulties: financial strain, health issues, and relational conflict. First, a litany of bills and repairs taxed our bank account. Then, I went through a health challenge that impacted my ability to work and forced me to take some time off to rest. Then, conflict with my husband's job brought a looming black cloud into our home. No matter how hard we tried, the trials kept coming. It was quickly becoming too much to bear. One day, during my prayer time, I cried out to God: Why are you doing this to me? Don't you care about me? Can't anything be easy? Although the tribulations kept coming, I noticed something: my reaction to them changed. I no longer came home complaining about how terrible my day ended. Instead, I went to the Lord. I journaled my feelings and read the bible more often. Soon, the Lord's love expressed through the Bible changed my heart. I read about the mercy and grace of Jesus. I saw him express His love to others in each book. I was inspired to become more like a disciple than a Pharisee. As I read, I realized I was more like a Pharisee than I thought. I found that I complained rather than was grateful, and I didn't believe that Jesus was who He said He was. But as God changed my heart, I began to feel God could turn things around. I started to see trials as a good thing rather than a bad thing. Soon, I looked forward to having my time with God. Eventually, the trials subsided, and my circumstances got a little easier. But the suffering brought me closer to God in prayer than I'd ever been. Trials that I thought were a punishment were really a blessing in disguise. When we had financial concerns, my friends helped us. When I faced the health challenge, I had my church uphold me in prayer. When conflict arose, we used the best conflict resolution skills possible and resolved it as best we could. Although I don't want to go through those trials again, God didn't waste my pain during those times. God used it to make me more grateful. I turned my tears into gratitude, transforming my thoughts and, ultimately, my heart. He drew me closer to him and improved my prayer life. I heard his voice when I listened as well. My relationship with God deepened like never before. Sometimes, the worst things in life turn out to be the best things after all. Advent is a season of expectation and anticipation. While the people expected the Savior to be a king who would take away all their suffering, our king emerged in the most unusual circumstances. Jesus was far from what they expected their king to look like. What they thought they wanted turned out to be not what they expected. Life is like that sometimes. Life may look far from what you expected it to be. You may feel disillusioned or jaded with how life has turned out. You may be complaining or confused as to what God is doing. If this is you, take joy in your hope in God. Come to God faithfully in prayer. Let Him turn your mourning into gratitude. Be grateful for what God has already done. Let God turn even the most challenging situation around for your good. Count your blessings. Be content in this season of life. Take joy in the life God has given you. Be patient in your trials. Place your hope in God. Praise God for what he already has given. Put your hope into turning around even the most challenging situation. He always changes things around for our good and His glory. Father, help us to be joyful as we hope in you. Rejoice in knowing that even when life looks far from what we think it should be or if we're dealing with relentless trials, we can still delight in having hope in you. Amen.

From Darkness To Dawn: Finding Hope in God's Promises "And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it." - Isaiah 2:2 In the darkest hours of World War II, as German bombs rained down on London, a photographer captured an unforgettable image: St. Paul's Cathedral standing resolute amidst the surrounding rubble. This powerful scene mirrors the prophetic vision Isaiah shared with God's people some 2,700 years ago - a picture of God's temple standing firm despite the chaos and destruction around it. Just as the people of Isaiah's time faced threats from Assyria and internal corruption, we too face our own battles and struggles. The prophet painted a picture of hope: a temple exalted above every mountain, with nations streaming to seek God's wisdom and guidance. This wasn't just about a physical building, but about the enduring presence and faithfulness of God in times of trouble. Isaiah's prophecy reminds us that even in our darkest moments, God's light continues to shine. As he writes in chapter 9, "The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined." This prophecy ultimately points to the coming of Christ, our ultimate source of hope and light in a dark world. Consider John the Baptist's example when he faced his own crisis of faith from prison. Rather than wallowing in doubt, he sent his disciples directly to Jesus. When we face uncertainty, we too should run to God first - not to those who cannot offer true help or hope. The prophet uses powerful imagery of joy coming after hardship - like farmers celebrating after harvest or soldiers rejoicing after victory. He speaks of weapons being transformed into tools of peace and bloody garments being burned, painting a picture of God's ultimate victory and the peace that follows. Just as some sports fans check the final score before watching a recorded game, we can face life's challenges with confidence because we know the end of the story. Through Christ, God has already declared His victory. Though we may face difficult seasons, we can rest assured that our God reigns supreme. Isaiah lived in challenging times, yet maintained unshakeable hope. His prophecies remind us that God's promises stand firm like that cathedral in London - a beacon of hope rising above the rubble of life's circumstances. When darkness threatens to overwhelm us, we can look to the mountain of the Lord that stands eternal. This hope isn't mere wishful thinking but is grounded in God's faithful character and His ultimate plan for redemption. The same God who inspired Isaiah's prophecies continues to work in our lives today, calling us to trust Him even when we cannot see the way forward. Our challenges may feel like an endless night of battle, but Isaiah assures us that morning will come. Just as Winston Churchill's funeral included both Taps and Reveille, reminding mourners that death gives way to resurrection, our current struggles will ultimately give way to God's victory and peace. Let us therefore fix our eyes not on the temporary troubles around us, but on the unshakeable mountain of God's presence and promises. For in Him, we find our true source of hope, strength, and ultimate victory. Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out. https://linktr.ee/rttbros
In the 5th message of our Unveiling Yahweh series, we will be looking at the Faithfulness of God. Our lives can be full of circumstances and people which will let us down. This is inevitable in a fallen world. But God, who is not like us, is good, unchanging and perfect. He is a Being fully worthy of our trust, because His character, and His track record, prove that He is faithful.

While the 2024 election season has come to a close, the holiday season is fast approaching. As people process the results at hand, how can we have compassion for those with whom we disagree? Author and Pastor of Church of the City Dr. Darren Whitehead reminds people not to gloat, but instead, to have conversations and listen to people in order to unite during an otherwise divided time. Later, he discusses the benefits of taking a break from technology as outlined in his book, The Digital Fast. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Jeremy didn’t realize what he was getting into when he arrived at the university for his three-year course and asked for the cheapest dorm room available. “It was awful,” he recounted. “The room and its bathroom were terrible.” But he had little money and little choice. “All I could do,” he said, “was think, I have a nice home to go back to in three years’ time, so I’ll stick with this and make the most of my time here.” Jeremy’s story mirrors the everyday challenges of living in an “earthly tent”—a human body that will die (2 Corinthians 5:1), operating in world that is passing away (1 John 2:17). Thus we “groan and are burdened” (2 Corinthians 5:4) as we struggle to cope with the many difficulties life throws at us. What keeps us going is the certain hope that one day, we’ll have an immortal, resurrected body—a “heavenly dwelling” (v. 4)—and be living in a world free of its present groaning and frustration (Romans 8:19-22). This hope enables us to make the most of this present life God has lovingly provided. He’ll also help us to use the resources and talents He’s given us, so we can serve Him and others. And that’s why “we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it” (v. 9).
It is a horrifying thing to use your God-given life to commit adultery against the Almighty.
