Daily Dose of Hope January 27, 2026 Scripture: I Corinthians 3 Prayer: Almighty God, Search our hearts today. Show us those places that we need to change. Show us where we aren't fully devoted to you and your Kingdom. Lord, we need your wisdom and guidance. On our own, we falter and drift. Lord, we want to know you more. We want to be a living example of your love and holiness. Help us, Jesus. Amen. Welcome to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope daily Bible reading plan. We are currently journeying through Paul's pastoral letters, chronologically. Thus far, we have read through Galatians, I Thessalonians, and II Thessalonians. We are currently in I Corinthians. Today's reading was I Corinthians 3. Paul continues to have harsh words for the Christ-followers at Corinth. They think they live by the Spirit, but Paul tells them they actually are still living by worldly standards. He had to teach them like babies in the faith; they lack maturity. They are drinking milk rather than being able to eat solid food. One example of this is their view of Christian leadership. They see leadership as focusing on an individual, that person having a following, pitting one person again another. In a sense, they view Christian leadership as a popularity contest. Paul makes the case that there are no individual superstars in Christian leadership. Different people have different tasks at different times. Some people plant, some people water, and others harvest. One task is not better or more important than another. They are all necessary for expanding God's Kingdom. My own experience is that Christian leadership has to be rooted in humility. The way our churches are structured doesn't always lend itself to this so we have to be very, very intentional. I know I have to very, very intentional. Ministry isn't about me as a pastor, it's always about Jesus and what he desires for his church. Jesus is of course our ultimate example of leadership. As a servant leader, he washed dirty feet, touched lepers, and ultimately gave up his life for those he led. No superstardom there, just a lot of rolling up sleeves, getting dirty, and experiencing sacrifice. We find a beautiful example of Christian leadership in Philippians 2:5-8: In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross. Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Daily Dose of Hope January 21, 2026 Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 2 Prayer: Lord, our Lord, How majestic is your name in all the earth! We magnify your precious and powerful name. How often we forget how mighty you are. You created all. You created us. Thank you, Lord, for who you are. Most of all, thank you for loving us with all our flaws and brokenness. In all we do, in who we are, help us to be more like you. We pray for humility, mercy, and compassion. Help us see others through your eyes. In Your Name, Amen. Welcome to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan. We have been journeying through Paul's letters chronologically and have now completed Galatians and I Thessalonians. We are now in 2 Thessalonians. Today, we read 2 Thessalonians 2. In chapter one, Paul addresses the issue of persecution. In this chapter, he addresses false teaching. The Thessalonian church was highly concerned by teachers stating that Jesus had already come. It's possible other things had happened too to make them think this way. Maybe there was a natural disaster, a meteor shower, or bad omens. But it makes sense that human foul play was the main culprit. To make matters worse, these false teachers were claiming to have Paul's authority in the teaching. Paul tells them not to be "easily unsettled or alarmed," because none of it is true. Yes, judgement day will come but it hasn't come yet. Jesus will not return until certain things have occurred, a certain event must occur (the rebellion) and a certain man must appear (the man of lawlessness, possibly the antichrist). The point of this chapter is not to make specific claims about the end of times but rather to prove to the Thessalonians that the day of the Lord, Jesus' second coming, had not yet arrived. It's obvious that Paul wants them to stand firm in the faith and not be so easily deceived. In verse 5, Paul asks them, Don't you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things? He is imploring them to remember the truth they were taught and live like mature believers, putting deep roots into truth. Basically, Thank God for his generous salvation, and don't worry about things above your security clearance. We aren't meant to know all the details and even if we did, this is something totally out of our control. This isn't a passive way to live, but one that clearly remembers who God is and that we belong to Him. I often tell my kids to "remember who and whose they are." In some ways, I feel this is what Paul is telling the Thessalonians. Remember what I have taught you. Remember who you belong to. Don't allow the distractions and untruths of the world to get you off track or lead you astray. Friends, how often do we forget who and whose we are? Think of a situation recently that shook your faith a bit or made you question something that you know deeply. How did you deal with that? What specific things do you do to remember who and whose you are? What do YOU do to ensure you stay rooted in the truth of your faith? More tomorrow. Blessings, Pastor Vicki
Daily Dose of Hope January 20, 2026 Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 1 Prayer: Holy God, We come before you today distracted and with scattered thoughts. Help us focus, Lord, on you and your Word. Help us, in the next few moments, to be silent, still, and remember that you are God...Thank you, Lord, for your care and concern for our lives. Thank you for how you show up in amazing and unexpected ways! We give you glory, Lord Jesus. In Your Name, Amen. Welcome to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan. We have been journeying through Paul's letters, and have now completed Galatians and I Thessalonians. Today, we start 2 Thessalonians. Similar to 1 Thessalonians, this letter is also written by Paul, Timothy, and Silas, but scholars consider Paul to be the primary author. The letter opens in a similar manner as I Thessalonians, with Paul giving thanks for the Thessalonian church. He is especially grateful for how their faith and love for one another has grown despite persecution. He even says that he boasts about how they have persevered in the midst of such difficulty. He doesn't give specifics about the persecution, but we can guess it was hostility directed at Christians by both gentile nonbelievers and Jews. Chapter 1 helps us begin to understand Paul's theology on the suffering of believers. First, he alludes to the fact that faithful endurance, perseverance in the face of struggle, makes them very worthy of the Kingdom of God. Certainly, endurance of hardship and persecution was seen as a virtue in early Christianity. What a change a couple thousand years make! At least in Western Christianity, we tend to balk at any kind of discomfort and certainly try to avoid suffering at all costs. But their suffering does NOT mean that God isn't with them. Paul states that God's judgment is right. Temporary suffering doesn't indicate God's rejection; it may be character building or redeemed in some other way. God won't waste their experience but use it to grow them and the Kingdom. After all, that's what it's all about. The second element in today's chapter is the concept of God's justice. God is all about just outcomes. He doesn't operate in a willy-nilly fashion but is fair and consistent. According to Paul, God considers it just to punish those who persecute the Thessalonians. This might be surprising to some, as we always focus on God's love. Yes, God is loving but God is also fair. Throughout Scripture, we read about God's righteous judgment. Knowing that God will judge others fairly frees us to simply extend love and grace and not feel the need to distribute our own judgment upon others. I'll close with Paul's words in Romans 12:19-21, Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord. On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head." Do not be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good. Blessings, Pastor Vicki
Daily Dose of Hope January 19, 2026 Scripture: I Thessalonians 5 Prayer: A prayer from Martin Luther King, Jr... Thou Eternal God, out of whose absolute power and infinite intelligence the whole universe has come into being, we humbly confess that we have not loved thee with our hearts, souls and minds, and we have not loved our neighbors as Christ loved us. We have all too often lived by our own selfish impulses rather than by the life of sacrificial love as revealed by Christ. We often give in order to receive. We love our friends and hate our enemies. We go the first mile but dare not travel the second. We forgive but dare not forget. And so as we look within ourselves, we are confronted with the appalling fact that the history of our lives is the history of an eternal revolt against you. But thou, O God, have mercy upon us. Forgive us for what we could have been but failed to be. Give us the intelligence to know your will. Give us the courage to do your will. Give us the devotion to love your will. In the name and spirit of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that goes along with the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan. We are currently journeying through Paul's letters. Right now, we are walking through I Thessalonians. Today, we read I Thessalonians 5. Paul is focusing on the end times not to scare people or bully people into accepting Jesus. Rather, these words were intended to provide comfort to his congregations. He is reiterating some of Jesus' teaching here – how the Lord's return will come like a thief in the night. Paul doesn't quote the Gospels directly but we can see here in this letter, that Jesus' teaching was part of Paul's teaching. Paul tells them to be alert and sober. This would have been in contrast to many in the area. Dionysus, the god of wine, was worshiped in Thessalonica, and his late night parties were known for being wild and crazy events. The Thessalonians, then, needed to reject those false gods to serve the living God. In doing so, they will be children of the light/day, awake, alert, watchful. Jesus' return and their identity as people of the light/day are intended to be words of encouragement to them. They have nothing to fear when the Lord comes but will actually excel even more. There is much to be excited for and they are to encourage one another with this hope. This is fascinating to me. We don't typically encourage each other by remembering that Jesus will return. Unfortunately, popular media and Hollywood have made people, even Christians, afraid of Jesus' return. And we have nothing to be scared of! For the Thessalonians, this was the ultimate hope. It was a reminder that this world, and the persecutions and hardships they faced, were temporary. But they would eventually be with Jesus forever. Does this give you hope? Why or why not? Blessings, Pastor Vicki
Daily Dose of Hope January 16, 2026 Scripture: I Thessalonians 4 Prayer: Almighty Father, Thank you for loving us despite our many faults. Thank you for showing us a different way of doing life. Help us seek holiness in all we do. Help us become the people you desire us to be. As we work through today's Scripture and devotional, I pray that you speak to our hearts. Help us see things differently. We want to hear from you. In Your Name, Amen. Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that goes along with the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan. We are currently journeying through Paul's letters. Right now, we are walking through I Thessalonians. Today, we read I Thessalonians 4. Possibly because they were experiencing so much persecution, the Thessalonians were very interested in knowing when Jesus' second coming would occur. Paul tells them two things they needed to hear: their persecutors will be judged and in the meantime, living in faith, hope, and love, is the best way to prepare for the next step of their Christian journey. Jesus will come suddenly, like a thief in the night. But they have nothing to fear as God's children. Those who reject the Gospel will face God's wrath but the believers will be protected and get to live with Jesus for eternity. He reiterates what it means to live a Godly life. He says to reject sexual immorality, and to seek holiness. The idea of seeking holiness is deeply rooted in Scripture, including the command to be holy as God is holy (Lev. 19:2), Jesus' teachings to be perfect as our Father is perfect (Matt. 5:48), and the Great Commandment (Matt. 22:34-40). John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, writes that holiness is not perfection or flawlessness but more a maturity of character and increasing love for God and others. The Thessalonians were coming from a pagan culture that valued self over others. Living holy lives would have truly set them apart from the culture around them. People would notice. The last part of the chapter is kind of interesting, regarding those who have already died. Just like his talk of the second coming, this is purely pastoral encouragement for them. Believers who have died in the Lord will be resurrected when Jesus returns. They can trust in that. Now, Jesus was pretty clear-no one knows the time he will come back, only the Father. In Matthew 24:36, Jesus says, "However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows." Despite this, people have tried making predictions for thousands of years. I hear people today say, "Well, these must be end times because of this or that." My personal opinion is that isn't for us to know or say. Our responsibility is to take Paul's advice to the Thessalonians and live in faith, hope, and love, pointing others to Jesus and living like people with Good News. Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Daily Dose of Hope January 15, 2026 Scripture: I Thessalonians 3 Prayer: King Jesus, We come to you today with praise and lifting your name high. You are a Lord of love, mercy, and forgiveness. Thank you so much for allowing us to experience those things in you. Also, Lord, thank you for showing us a new way of doing life. The ways of this world are empty and temporal but your ways are eternal and fulfilling. Help us be bold in our faith, staying strong in the midst of whatever challenges we face. Help us live like the people you have called us to be. We love you. Amen. Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that goes along with the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan. We are currently journeying through Paul's letters. Right now, we are walking through I Thessalonians. Today, we read I Thessalonians 3. Paul and Silas very much wanted to visit the Thessalonian church and encourage them in their persecution. But over and over again, it didn't work out. They were frustrated and concerned about the welfare of the new believers. While they had previously warned the Thessalonian church that persecution was unavoidable, they still feared for their well-being. Eventually, they send Timothy to visit them and instruct them in the faith as needed. Timothy brought back good news, as the Thessalonian church was becoming more mature in their faith. Despite their challenges, the new believers were remaining strong in faith and continuing to demonstrate love toward those inside and outside the church. This pleased Paul and Silas very much. They experienced joy knowing that the faith of the Thessalonians remained strong and vibrant. They thanked God for their perseverance and endurance. The early church had such a different perspective than we do regarding persecution. They saw persecution as inevitable; it was simply something that believers had to endure. It doesn't appear they feared being persecuted either. They knew that as followers of Jesus, their message would be met with opposition. In the Western church of today, we tend to fear persecution and rejection. We hesitate to share the Gospel message because we might offend someone, someone might say something mean to us, or we might get rejected. These seem incredibly minor compared to the persecutions of the Thessalonians or other believers around the world today who risk everything to share the Gospel with others. Here's a question for us: If I were being tortured and persecuted for my faith, would I stay faithful to Jesus or would I give in to the pressure and deny Christ? It is so important for us to rest in the uneasiness of this question. If push came to shove, how faithful are we, New Hope? This is truth: Christians around the world deal with this every single day. We don't think about it much but over 388 million Christians around the world suffer persecution or discrimination for their faith in Jesus Christ. That means they experience some kind of hostility as a result of proclaiming the name of Jesus or living out their faith. Almost 5,000 Christians were killed for their faith in 2025, many were kidnapped, imprisoned, or forced from their homes. In addition, more than 3,600 churches and other religious facilities were destroyed. For other Christians, it means being denied economic opportunities or simply living under the threat of violence. American Christians talk of persecution, but that is what real persecution looks like. It's not being made fun of or worrying about offending someone, it's risking all for Jesus. Every year Open Doors USA releases its World Watch report of the 50 states most likely to punish Christians for their faith. North Korea, Somalia, and Yemen, took the top spots this year. It is almost impossible to live openly as a Christian in all three of these places. In extremist Moslem countries, leaving Islam is considered shameful, and Christian converts face dire consequences if their new faith is discovered. Either they have to flee the country or they will be killed. Other nations that are particularly dangerous for Christians are Syria, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Iran. I recently read this statement and it stopped me in my tracks: "If we have not prepared ourselves and our twenty-first century churches to die for Christ's name if necessary, we have not completed our responsibility of preparing disciples." If this makes us uncomfortable, it should. Because Jesus has called us to a faithfulness that involves more than what we typically think of when we call ourselves Christ-followers. We can see it in Paul's letter to the Thessalonians. We see it throughout the book of Acts. What does it mean to be a disciple? Jesus makes it quite clear, Mark 8:34-35, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 35 For whoever wants to save their life[b] will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it. Blessings, Pastor Vicki
Daily Dose of Hope January 14, 2026 Scripture: I Thessalonians 2 Prayer: Lord, We come to you today with humble hearts. Help us think less of ourselves and more about others. Help us focus more on you, and less on our own wants. It is our inclination to complain and whine. Forgive us, Lord. We need you. More of you and less of me. In Your Name, Amen. Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan. We are currently on a journey through the letters of Paul, working through them in chronological order. We are currently on Paul's second pastoral letter, I Thessalonians. Today, we read I Thessalonians 2. The authors start out the chapter by discussing their motives for preaching the Gospel message. They have pure motives and have no desire to trick people into becoming converts, which must have been an issue in the day. Gaining converts at any cost suggests manipulation and the desire to look successful before others. But their main concern was pleasing God, not people. That does not mean that the Gospel message isn't pleasing to people, because it certainly is, but that wasn't their main reason for sharing it. God had called them to this and they were being obedient. Unfortunately, throughout the course of history, Christians haven't always had such pure motives in sharing the Gospel. Evangelism has often occurred with a Bible in one hand and a sword in the other. I think Paul, Timothy, and Silas, would be appalled at how far people representing the Christian faith have gone to simply gain converts, without concern for the hearts of people. As twenty-first century believers, we get to stand on the shoulders of those who witnessed well and those who made a terrible mess of it. And yet, we are still called to share the Gospel with others with pure motives. Guided by the Holy Spirit rather than our own prideful motivations, we are called to share the source of our hope. Just as Paul and friends write in this chapter, our core motivation must be to please God. It's great if other people are pleased as well with the message, but that isn't our primary purpose. It's simply all about Jesus. Paul isn't shy. He tells the Thessalonians that he serves an a model for faithfulness. In all fairness, he says the Thessalonians are also to be emulated as models of faithfulness. I want to talk about this a bit. Paul isn't bragging. He is making a statement about how the Gospel of Jesus is not a set of ideas to believe but rather a way of life. The Gospel might be seen as a set of lived commitments. Paul is saying that believers model the Word of God in their context, they live it out, even when it is hard. And it was very hard for the Thessalonians but they did it anyway. Paul wants them to know he sees their sacrifice and loves them; he is willing to sacrifice alongside them as well. Do you live out your faith in the way Paul is describing? Is your faith a set a beliefs or is it a total and complete lifestyle with Jesus at the center? What would it take for you to move toward a lifestyle in which your faith in Jesus is all-consuming? Who do you know who models this kind of faith? Paul certainly alludes to attributes that suggest someone is living this way: humility, honesty, sincerity, willingness to work hard on tasks that seem lowly, willingness to be vulnerable, courage to take risks for the Gospel, and a true trust in Jesus. Take some time and pray about this. Blessings, Pastor Vicki
Daily Dose of Hope January 13, 2026 Scripture: I Thessalonians 1 Prayer: Heavenly Father, We come before you today with a sense of gratefulness. You are a God who loves us despite all our faults. You provide for us despite our selfishness. You answer our prayers despite our impatience. Lord, we are so thankful and rejoice in your Holy and perfect name. Forgive us for the times in which we fall short and we know they are many. Lord Jesus, how we want to do better. Help us see others through your eyes. We so need you. More of you and less of me. In Your Name, Amen. Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan. We are currently on a journey through the letters of Paul, working through them in chronological order. We just completed Paul's letter to the Galatians yesterday and today, we begin I Thessalonians. Let's talk a little bit about Paul's letter to the church at Thessalonica. There are some scholars who actually think this letter may have predated Galatians, but the general consensus is that Galatians was written in 49-50 and I Thessalonians was written around 50-51. They were certainly close together, but the letters are very different. While Galatians is critical in nature (in response to false teachers who were trying to corrupt the Gospel), I Thessalonians is an encouraging letter in which Paul teaches about living Godly lives during difficult persecution. I Thessalonians was also written during Paul's second missionary journey. We get the backstory of this letter in Acts 17. Paul and Silas have gone to Thessalonica, preach the Gospel, and pretty quickly there is a strong Christian community there. But the Christians there are accused of defying the emperor by saying they believe in another king, Jesus (refer to Acts 17:7). Paul and Silas end up leaving the city because of the ruckus. In this first letter to the Thessalonians, Paul is trying to reconnect. He's heard from Timothy that the Thessalonian church is doing well, despite the continued persecution. The letter is actually from Paul, Silas, and Timothy, as they are together in Corinth and have this urge to keep the Thessalonians encouraged. Let's look at the letter itself in chapter 1. It was normal in an ancient letter to include some kind of prayer for the recipient after the greeting. The authors state that they continually thank God for all the people in the church, and that they remember them before God because of their work produced through faith and love and their endurance inspired by hope in Jesus. I am most intrigued by the line "endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ." Endurance is the ability to keep going, to persevere, in the face of difficulty and suffering. We don't know exactly what kind of persecution the Thessalonian Christians were facing but it must have been pretty bad. And Paul was worried about them. They were new believers-how would they withstand these hardships? Would their faith crumble or strengthen? Apparently, they remained strong and steadfast, despite their limited experience in the faith. This idea of endurance through hardship becomes a virtue in the early church. Here is the important part: their endurance was not a result of some kind of internal emotional strength or resolve but was a result of their hope in Jesus. Their hope was rooted in the second coming of Jesus, which will become a theme throughout this letter. Think about your own life. How would you rate your endurance in the face of hardship? While we don't face the same kind of persecution as the Thessalonian church, we still deal with other challenges. How is your faith grounded in the hope of Christ? Blessings, Pastor Vicki
An episode from Berean Baptist Church, an independent body of King James Bible believers located in Springfield Missouri. We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be the verbally and plenary inspired Word of God. The Scriptures are inerrant, infallible and God-breathed, and therefore are the final authority for faith and life. The sixty-six books of the Old and New Testament are the complete and divine revelation of God to Man. The Scriptures shall be interpreted according to their normal grammatical-historical meaning. We believe that God's Word has been divinely preserved in the English language and commonly known as the Authorized King James Version. Therefore, the Authorized King James Version shall be the official and only translation used by the church. (II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:20-21). We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, but that in Adam's sin the human race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God; and, that man is totally depraved, and of himself, utterly unable to remedy his lost condition (Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 3:22-23, 5:12, 6:23; Ephesians 2:1-3, 4:17-19). We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins (John 1:12; Ephesians 1:7, 2:8-10; I Peter 1:18-19). We believe that all the redeemed, once saved, are kept by God's power and are thus secure in Christ forever (John 6:37-40; 10:27-30; Romans 8:1, 38-39; I Cor.1: 4-8; I Peter 1:4-5).We believe that it is the privilege of believers to rejoice in the assurance of their salvation through the testimony of God's Word, which, however clearly forbids the use of Christian liberty as an occasion to the flesh (Romans 13:13-14; Galatians 5:13; Titus 2:11-15).We believe in that “blessed hope,” the personal, imminent return of Christ who will rapture all believers prior to the seven-year tribulation period. At the end of the Tribulation, Christ will personally and visibly return with His saints, to establish His earthly Messianic Kingdom, which was promised to the nation of Israel (Psalm 89:3-4; Daniel 2:31-45; Zechariah 14:4-11; I Thessalonians 1:10, 4:13-18; Titus 2:13; Revelation 3:10, 19:11-16, 20:1-6).The Berean Baptist Church Statement of Faith does not exhaust the extent of our faith.

Therefore, the Authorized King James Version shall be the official and only translation used by the church. (II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:20-21). We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, but that in Adam's sin the human race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God; and, that man is totally depraved, and of himself, utterly unable to remedy his lost condition (Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 3:22-23, 5:12, 6:23; Ephesians 2:1-3, 4:17-19). We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins (John 1:12; Ephesians 1:7, 2:8-10; I Peter 1:18-19). We believe that all the redeemed, once saved, are kept by God's power and are thus secure in Christ forever (John 6:37-40; 10:27-30; Romans 8:1, 38-39; I Cor.1: 4-8; I Peter 1:4-5).We believe that it is the privilege of believers to rejoice in the assurance of their salvation through the testimony of God's Word, which, however clearly forbids the use of Christian liberty as an occasion to the flesh (Romans 13:13-14; Galatians 5:13; Titus 2:11-15).We believe in that “blessed hope,” the personal, imminent return of Christ who will rapture all believers prior to the seven-year tribulation period. At the end of the Tribulation, Christ will personally and visibly return with His saints, to establish His earthly Messianic Kingdom, which was promised to the nation of Israel (Psalm 89:3-4; Daniel 2:31-45; Zechariah 14:4-11; I Thessalonians 1:10, 4:13-18; Titus 2:13; Revelation 3:10, 19:11-16, 20:1-6).The Berean Baptist Church Statement of Faith does not exhaust the extent of our faith.

(This podcast was previously published on February 7, 2021) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... If we are looking for righteousness, fairness, justice on this present earth, we will likely be gravely disappointed. It is in the new heavens and new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness, says the apostle Peter. 2 Peter 3:10-14 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless. No matter what we do, we will not be able to make this present earth righteous. The sin nature of man until he is born again requires that man be born again by God. Many attend churches but few are actually born again by God. The natural man cannot see the things of the Spirit of God, says Paul. I Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. If we look for justice and righteousness on this present earth we will likely end up being greatly disappointed. For men have compromised away their integrity and have become like men in the days of Noah. Genesis 6:5-8 5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And it repented the LORD that HE had made man on the earth, and it grieved HIM at HIS heart. 7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. The apostle Paul tells us the following: 2 Timothy 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. In the end, before Jesus returns, God will bring HIS wrath, the great tribulation, upon ungodly men of this world. (Revelation 8, 9, 16) Then God shakes the powers of heaven. (Matthew 24:29) And then comes Jesus through the clouds and sends HIS angels to gather his elect and take them off this present earth and take them to the new Jerusalem wherein dwells righteousness. (Matthew 24:30-32 and Revelation 21:1-5) It is on the new earth, the new Jerusalem, wherein dwelleth righteousness that we so much want as the elect of God. And this is where Jesus takes us in our new spiritual bodies. (I Corinthians 15:49-51) ***** I Thessalonians 4 13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep (dead), that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with HIM. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent (precede) them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. (We meet in the air for this present heaven and earth will be destroyed by God by fire.) *** We are changed, given new spiritual bodies: I Corinthians 15 47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. 48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. (As we are born in the physical image of our parents or relatives, we will be born in the image of God, a spirit, when we are taken into heaven.) 49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. 50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep (die), but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. (Blink your eyes. That is how fast we will be removed from these physical bodies and changed into spirits in the image of God.) *** Then we are taken into the new heaven and new earth which God has created for us, HIS people. Revelation 21 1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and HE will dwell with them, and they shall be HIS people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 5 And HE that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. *** Revelation 22 12 And, behold, I come quickly; and MY reward is with ME, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 14 Blessed are they that do HIS commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. *** II Peter 3 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to HIS promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of HIM in peace, without spot, and blameless.

We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, but that in Adam's sin the human race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God; and, that man is totally depraved, and of himself, utterly unable to remedy his lost condition (Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 3:22-23, 5:12, 6:23; Ephesians 2:1-3, 4:17-19). We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins (John 1:12; Ephesians 1:7, 2:8-10; I Peter 1:18-19). We believe that all the redeemed, once saved, are kept by God's power and are thus secure in Christ forever (John 6:37-40; 10:27-30; Romans 8:1, 38-39; I Cor.1: 4-8; I Peter 1:4-5).We believe that it is the privilege of believers to rejoice in the assurance of their salvation through the testimony of God's Word, which, however clearly forbids the use of Christian liberty as an occasion to the flesh (Romans 13:13-14; Galatians 5:13; Titus 2:11-15).We believe in that “blessed hope,” the personal, imminent return of Christ who will rapture all believers prior to the seven-year tribulation period. At the end of the Tribulation, Christ will personally and visibly return with His saints, to establish His earthly Messianic Kingdom, which was promised to the nation of Israel (Psalm 89:3-4; Daniel 2:31-45; Zechariah 14:4-11; I Thessalonians 1:10, 4:13-18; Titus 2:13; Revelation 3:10, 19:11-16, 20:1-6).The Berean Baptist Church Statement of Faith does not exhaust the extent of our faith.

(This podcast was previously published on January 19, 2021) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... Each time I see a scripture which speaks of following "The Lord" or "Jesus", my mind automatically translates that into "THE WORD", following the instruction given by THE WORD. When we do that, it makes the Bible so clear! For example: John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I (The WORD) am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by ME (The WORD). So this verse is saying two things to me: * "THE WORD is the way to go." So I ask myself, "What has God said about this?" And I think on the most recent word brought to my mind by God concerning the subject at hand. I think on the scriptures, THE WORD. And I follow that word, making my plans accordingly. * "No man comes to the Father except by THE WORD." A man cannot go to THE FATHER by Buddha or by Mohammed. Only by THE WORD (Jesus) can a man go to God. So they cannot deceive me when they worship by another god. And people who come to me saying they are Christians cannot deceive me, for unless they are living THE WORD, those persons cannot be of God, for THE WORD is the way to God, The Father. Matthew 24:4-5 Jesus says: Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in MY name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. They come saying they are Christians and because they say Jesus is Lord, they deceive many, for they have not the Spirit but are religious by their own thinking. Scripture becomes clear when you think of "The Lord" as "The Word." Psalm 23 The LORD (The Word) is my shepherd; I shall not want. (As I follow "The Word", I shall not want. If I follow other men, I might come into want even when I read the Bible. But as I hear The Word who is my Lord and do The Word, I shall not want.) 2 HE (The Word) maketh me to lie down in green pastures: HE (The Word) leadeth me beside the still waters. So if it is hard or turbulent, I'm likely not following the plan of God, The Word. There is plenty of food, both spiritual food and physical food when I am in the place God would lead me, "green pastures". 3 HE (The Word) restoreth my soul: HE (The Word) leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for HIS name's sake. ***** John 6 Jesus says: 33 For the bread of God is HE (The Word) which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. 35 ... I (The Word) am the bread of life: he that cometh to ME (The Word) shall never hunger; and he that believeth on ME (The Word) shall never thirst. 44 No man can come to ME, except the Father which hath sent ME draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. 48 I am that bread of life. (The Word is that bread of life.) 50 This (The Word) is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. 51 I (The Word) am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. (We eat the flesh of Jesus and drink HIS blood each time we conform our lives to the Word of God as we walk on this earth.) 53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink His blood, ye have no life in you. 54 Whoso eateth MY flesh, and drinketh MY blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For MY flesh is meat indeed, and MY blood is drink indeed. 56 He that eateth MY flesh, and drinketh MY blood, dwelleth in ME, and I in him. 57 As the living Father hath sent ME, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth ME (The Word), even he shall live by ME. *** (The Word raises us up at the last day, for the Lord, The Word, comes with a shout, and the dead in Christ are awakened and rise to meet Jesus in the air.) I Thessalonians 4 13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep (dead), that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with HIM. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent (precede) them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. *** John 1 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by HIM; and without HIM was not any thing made that was made. 4 In HIM was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. 10 HE was in the world, and the world was made by HIM, and the world knew HIM not. 11 HE came unto HIS own, and HIS own received HIM not. 12 But as many as received HIM, to them gave HE power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on HIS name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld HIS glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Chapter 2 of Nehemiah is about his own return to Jerusalem; it finished with his rebuke to those who opposed the rebuilding of its walls; these were an Ammonite and an Arab (v.19), they did not want the Jews to be able to defend themselves. But the Jews set to work – and it was a most remarkable team effort!As we read ch. 3 we counted 33 individuals and groups who each did their part in rebuilding parts of the wall, noting the words, “and next to him … and after him.” For example, “Jedaiah … repaired the wall opposite his home” [v.10] then Shallum, “ruler of half the district of Jerusalem, repaired, he and his daughters” [v.12] – it was an all-out effort with the women helping too! The gates also had to be repaired and put in place (v.14,15) The priests also were involved (v.22), no one was exempt.This Is the same in building up the “body of Christ”! Nehemiah inspired in them such a will to work that they completed the work “in fifty two days” [6 v.15] despite the increasing opposition we will read of tomorrow.Let's consider the spiritual counterpart to all this, we do not have a human Nehemiah urging us on, instead we have our Lord Jesus. How conscious are we that “he has said ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you'” [Heb.13 v.5]In Hebrews ch.12 believers are urged to “run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfector of our faith …” [v.1,2] In Eph. 2 v.21,22 we saw that believers are building on the foundation the prophets and Apostles laid – and Jesus is the “cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you also are being built together …”Paul told the Corinthians, “Let each one take care how he builds upon it” [1 Cor. 3 v.10] and in I Thessalonians which we started reading today, Paul says, “since we belong to the day” and not the darkness of this world, “therefore encourage one another and build one another up” [5 v.8,11]Followers of Christ are a team and teamwork is vital! We have no head but Christ (Eph. 4 v.15). Sadly those who have strayed from the way the church was ‘built' in the first centuries resort to having leaders, teamwork among them is minimal, if it exists at all. So the example of teamwork we are reading in Nehemiah is an example for true believers of all ages

Luke 7:11-16 (The Widow of Nain) At the gates of Nain, the procession of death meets the Lord of Life—and death loses. Christ turns the widow's grief into joy, revealing that every tear will one day be transformed into the eternal song of alleluia. A "by-the-numbers" homily - enjoy the show! --- This was an encounter between two forces: death and the very source of life. We know how this encounter always turns out. Life seems so fragile (war, disease, accidents, violence) and we seem doomed to die. What happened (Jesus brought the dead back to life) Focus briefly on three parts of this Gospel reading: the procession, the grief of the mother, and how it ended. The funeral procession. How we do funerals. Preparation for it. Psalms. Preparation of the body. Funeral service(s). Burial. The movement of the person from one list in our daily prayers to the other. Nine-day prayers. Forty-day prayers. Annual prayers. Often with koliva or a special bread. The grieving mother. Do not weep. “Blessed are those who mourn.” Jesus Himself, always in the Spirit, wept at the death of Lazarus. Do not weep “like those who have no hope…” (I Thessalonians). Repent of the sin that leads to unhealthy tears; and that repentance requires that we live knowing that we may never have another chance on this side of a funeral to mend a relationship. Tears of honest grief are cathartic, as are tears of outrage at the absurdity of living in a world where death is so prevalent. But let those tears flow in the knowledge that as outrageous, ignoble, and offensive as death is; that our tears of sorrow are being turned, as we sing in the funeral service, into the song “alleluia!” And that is how I want to conclude... How it ended. This was an encounter between two forces: death and the very source of life. Who won? And who won when death took a man captive and found that it, instead, it was forced to encounter God? Who won? It was no real contest! As we hear from St. John Chrysostom on Pascha: Christ-God annihilated death! In a world that was made and is governed by the source of Life, death place is temporary, a consequence and concession to our sin – sin which itself is, again through Christ, only temporary. It is holiness and life that endures forever. Conclusion. That is the side we have chosen: we reject sin and we reject death. We have intentionally chosen the side of holiness and of life. It seems as though our relationship with life is so vulnerable – to sickness, to violence, to sudden catastrophes; but in the only reality that matters in the end, it is quite the opposite. It and all its associated grief, anxieties, traumas, and pain are products of this world, doomed to end when it is remade in glory. Again, we have intentionally chosen the side of life. Let's live it as it was meant to be lived, not in fear of death but in the joy of the One who has through death defeated death and who desires us to live well both now and into eternity.

Closer Pt. 2 | August 17, 2025Pastor Wes Morris Psalm 50:7-15 (TLB) O my people, listen! For I am your God. Here are my charges against you: I have no complaint about the sacrifices you bring to my altar, for you bring them regularly. But it isn't sacrificial goats that I really want from you.For all the animals of field and forest are mine! The cattle on a thousand hills! And all the birds upon the mountains! If I were hungry, I would not mention it to you - for all the world is mine and everything in it. No, I don't need your sacrifices of flesh and blood. What I want from you is your true thanks; I want your promises fulfilled. I want you to trust me in your times of trouble, so I can rescue you and you can give me glory. √ GOD DOESN'T NEED OUR RELIGION - HE WANTS OUR HEART.Psalm 51:16-17 (NLT) You do not desire a sacrifice, or I would offer one. You do not want a burnt offering. The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God. √ GOD DELIGHTS IN A HEART THAT IS GRATEFUL.Psalm 50:15 (TLB) What I want from you is your true thanks...Psalm 100:4 (NIV) Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him. - John Piper√ GOD WANTS US TO TRUST HIM IN OUR TROUBLES.II Chronicles 20:12 (NIV) Our God, will you not judge them? For we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.II Chronicles 20:21-22 (NIV) After consulting the people, Jehoshaphat appointed men to sing to the Lord and to praise him for the splendor of his holiness as they went out at the head of the army, saying: “Give thanks to the Lord, for his love endures forever.”As they began to sing and praise, the Lord set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab who were invading Judah, and they were defeated. WHAT GOD REALLY WANTS I. THANK GOD DAILY.I Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NIV) Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.II. TURN WORRY INTO WORSHIP.Psalm 56:3-4 (NIV) When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise—in God I trust and am not afraid.III. PRAISE HIM IN EVERY SITUATION.Psalm 34:1 (NIV) I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.To learn more about Bay Chapel visit our website at baychapel.com
We have known Paul's thoughts on Timothy long before II Timothy was written. They had a long and strong relationship - long and strong fellowship - long and strong mentorship. Listen to what Paul called Timothy in previous letters: called… “well spoken of” when Paul met him in Acts 16 “his helper” in Acts 19 “doer of the work of the Lord” - I Corinthians 16 “our brother” - Corinthians, Colossians, Thessalonians, Philemon, Hebrews “my beloved” again in I Corinthians “fellow worker” in Acts & Romans “faithful worker” in I Corinthians “servant of Christ” in Philippians “my true child” in I Timothy “bearer of good news” in I Thessalonians 3:6-7 Part of the new team - Paul, Silas, Timothy - in I & II Thessalonians The best word on Timothy is found in Philippians 2:19-24

In an interview with the New York Times, tech titan billionaire Peter Thiel had this to say about Antichrist and Armageddon: “Antichrist or Armageddon? You have the one-world state of the Antichrist, or we're sleepwalking toward Armageddon. “One world or none,” “Antichrist or Armageddon,” on one level, are the same question. Now, I have a lot of thoughts on this topic, but one question is, how does the Antichrist take over the world? He gives these demonic, hypnotic speeches and people just fall for it. This is I Thessalonians 5:3 the slogan of the Antichrist is “peace and safety.” Has Peter Theil become the Devil's Advocate? Sure looks that way.“Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, we have long told you about the ‘messianic complex' that nearly all the tech titans developed when their wealth went into the billions and they became able to do nearly anything and everything they set theirs minds to do. They all want to control how we live, how we think, and how we relate to each other through the dystopian products they release on us. Smart phone, apps, algorithms, AI, you name it, the Mark of the Beast System, and it's all designed to control us according to their will. They see themselves as gods over us, and to a large degree it's true. But Peter Thiel, founder of Palantir, has been separating himself from the tech titan pack, and getting right to the heart of the matter. He knows that Antichrist is right around the corner, and is doing everything he can to ‘set the table' for his soon-coming, short-lived, 7-year kingdom on this Earth. Today we lift the lid on the tech titans to show you just what they're really up to.
