Revelation 19v6-7 with Tyler Staton How do our bodies and our sexuality fit into the larger story of God's redemption? This teaching traces the biblical story from creation to resurrection, showing how our bodies were designed to reveal God's beauty, how sin distorted that design, and how Jesus restores it. In the way of Jesus, our desires are not something to ignore or indulge, but something to be redeemed and directed toward the deeper love we were made for. Bridgetown.church/teaching

There are seasons when effort seems to outpace results. You work hard, try new approaches, send the emails, make the calls—and still find yourself staring at closed doors. Resources shrink. Energy fades. Options dwindle. And quietly, fear begins to whisper: What now? Philippians 4:19 speaks directly into that fear: “My God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.” Notice what it doesn’t say. It doesn’t promise provision according to your productivity, your strategy, or your remaining strength. It points to His riches—not yours. When resources run low, it exposes where we’ve placed our trust. It’s easy to believe provision flows from our effort, our networking, or our careful planning. But God’s supply has never depended on human capacity. His storehouses do not empty. His generosity does not fluctuate. His timing does not panic. In the Old Testament, God instructed His people to let the land rest every seventh year. That rest wasn’t just agricultural—it was spiritual. It was a lesson in trust. Could they believe He would provide even when they weren’t producing? Sometimes running on empty is not punishment. It is invitation. An invitation to rest. An invitation to release control. An invitation to remember that God’s provision flows from His abundance, not your exhaustion. If you feel depleted—emotionally, physically, financially, or spiritually—remember this: your limits do not limit God. When you are empty, He is still full. Main Takeaways God’s provision is based on His riches, not our resources. Seasons of depletion reveal where we place our trust. Resting can be an act of faith in God’s provision. Productivity does not determine God’s faithfulness. When we are empty, God remains abundant. Today’s Bible Verse Philippians 4:19 Your Daily Prayer Prayer excerpt for listeners: “Help me trust Your provision before I run out of options.” Listen to the full prayer here.

Is God bringing revival to Iran? And what does honoring the Sabbath actually look like for Christians today?   In this episode of LIVE FREE, Pastors Josh Howerton, Carlos Erazo, and Paul Cunningham tackle two powerful topics shaping faith and culture right now. First, they unpack Luke 6 and the biblical meaning of the Sabbath—why God built rhythms of work and rest into creation, how the Pharisees turned the Sabbath into legalistic religion, and why Jesus declaring Himself the “Lord of the Sabbath” changes how believers understand rest today. The conversation explores how Sabbath is not just about stopping work, but about restoring the body, renewing the soul, and remembering that our identity is rooted in Christ—not productivity.   Then the episode shifts to an eye-opening conversation with Iranian-born pastor David Nasser about what's really happening in Iran. Nasser shares his incredible story of escaping the Iranian Revolution, how his family encountered the gospel in America, and why many believe the underground church in Iran is one of the fastest-growing movements of Christianity in the world. The team discusses reports of Muslims encountering Jesus in dreams, the spiritual implications of current geopolitical events, and how the gospel continues advancing even in some of the most restricted places on earth.   From honoring the Sabbath to the rise of the Iranian church, this episode explores how God is still moving powerfully across the world—and how believers today can join His mission.   In this episode, you'll learn: • What the Bible actually teaches about the Sabbath • Why Jesus called Himself the “Lord of the Sabbath” • The difference between legalistic religion and true spiritual rest • Why the church often grows fastest under persecution • What's really happening with the underground church in Iran • How Christians can pray and participate in God's global mission

Questions about why there is no effort towards a neutral interpretation of Scripture that doesn't take denominational preferences into account, and how so many people in different denominations that believe different things can all claim to be followers of Christ.   Why is there no effort towards a neutral exegesis—i.e., without taking denominational preferences into account—in light of the fact that there are so many denominations divided over hundreds of topics? Which inspiration theory and which explanatory system do you use? Considering there are so many denominations that all believe different things, how can they all claim to be followers of Christ?

Some see Jesus' death as merely a sad end to a good life. But the central mission of Jesus was to die and be raised, in exaltation. In this message, Pastor Lutzer marks three lessons about the inverted nature of Jesus' humility, suffering, and cross. What if we stopped acting like being a Christian is all about winning, and started realizing it's actually about humility?

Finding Hope in the Deepest Pain   What happens when the unthinkable becomes your reality—and yet you still choose faith? In today's deeply moving episode, Leslie sits down with Hope Hooton, a courageous mother, advocate, and follower of Jesus whose life changed forever in May 2024 when her two children, Alec and Lydia, were tragically killed during court-ordered visitation with their father. In the midst of unspeakable grief, Hope has chosen to trust God and use her voice to protect other children. Through her testimony, advocacy, and new memoir releasing today, Hope reminds us that even in devastating loss, God's presence can still be found—and that purpose can rise from the deepest pain.   Key Takeaways Recognizing the Red Flags of Abuse Looking back, Hope can now clearly see the warning signs in her marriage—manipulation, gaslighting, emotional control, financial abuse, and power struggles. Abuse rarely starts dramatically; it often unfolds subtly over time. Naming these patterns is the first step toward protecting yourself and your children. When Systems Fail to Protect Children Despite documented domestic violence and severe mental illness, the court granted Hope's husband unsupervised visitation with their young children. This devastating decision highlights a heartbreaking reality many mothers face: the family court system often prioritizes parental rights over child safety. Faith That Holds in the Darkest Night After losing her children, Hope's life as she knew it disappeared overnight. Yet in her grief, she clung tightly to God's presence—spending time in prayer, journaling, and meditating on Scripture. Proverbs 3:5–6 became her lifeline: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” Turning Tragedy Into Purpose Hope refused to allow her children's story to end in silence. Through her social media platform Hope In The Pain, she shares encouragement, faith, and the reality of walking through grief with God. She also hosts the Voices Against Filicide Podcast, raising awareness about domestic violence, the abuse cycle, and cases of child homicide across the country. Honoring Alec and Lydia Through Advocacy Hope is now working with Arizona lawmakers to create stronger protections for children in custody cases. Her advocacy is helping bring critical attention to how family courts handle domestic violence and mental illness when making custody decisions.   Resources Mentioned Hope's New Memoir is Available TODAY (March 9): There's Still Hope: A Journey of Adversity, Tragedy, and Unbreakable Faith Arizona Legislation Honoring Alec & Lydia Arizona legislation HB2995 has already passed the Arizona House of Representatives and is now moving forward to the Arizona Senate. This bill, referred to as The Alec and Lydia Act, aims to strengthen protections for children in family court cases by ensuring judges receive training in domestic violence, coercive control, trauma response, and mental illness when making custody decisions. Please join us in praying that this legislation passes the Arizona Senate, helping protect vulnerable children and families across the state.

Numbers are boring, right? I mean, who gets excited about counting things? Well, did you ever count your Christmas presents as a kid? Have you ever memorized the stats of your favorite athletes, or checked the number of likes on a post, or rejoiced over the number of people confessing Christ through the work a missionary? The numbers presented in these first few chapters may seem boring to us, but they represent the faithfulness of God to Israel. And don't worry, the title of this book is a little misleading; while it opens with counting heads, it gets more exciting in coming chapters.

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In this episode for March 9th, 2024, your Bible Reading Coach, Hunter, guides us through a meaningful journey in the scriptures, exploring Deuteronomy chapters 10 through 12 and the triumphant resurrection story in Mark 16. Hunter shares insights into the Shema, the significance of obedience, and God's unwavering faithfulness, reminding us that we are never left behind—even in moments of grief and doubt. We're also joined by our Prayer Assistant, Heather, who leads us in prayers for strength, peace, and unity, helping us start the day aligned with God's purpose.

Stay with us for scripture, reflection, and heartfelt prayer—let's walk this path together and step into the new day with faith and joy! TODAY'S DEVOTION: He has not left us behind. That's the essential message echoing from the empty tomb. The women arrive, grieving and uncertain, confronted with sorrow and a sense of abandonment—the loss so raw, feeling as if God Himself has departed, that Jesus who once delivered, healed, and loved has left them alone. Every funeral, every moment in the face of death, carries that sting of doubt: "Has God left us? Is this the end?" But the resurrection upends our fears. There, dressed in white at the tomb, an angel greets them—not with despair, but with the unthinkable news: "He isn't here… Go and tell his disciples, including Peter, that Jesus is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there." The risen Christ is not found among the dead, nor does He abandon His own in the darkest hour. Instead, He goes before them—and before us—calling us to hope again. God doesn't do abandonment, friends. He rescues us completely, even from the deepest despair, from the very thought that we are left behind. The resurrection means the presence of God is a constant, not a memory. He meets us right in the places of pain and loneliness, convincing us by His Spirit how good this news really is—a promise and a reality that God is here and always will be. May our souls be convinced of this truth. May our families rest in it, and may our communities be shaped by it. The God who overcame the grave walks ahead of you today. He sees you, loves you, and never leaves you. May you live in that light. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray...

In this episode of Don't Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman continue the story of Joseph in Genesis 42–50 and watch the cliffhanger finally unfold. What once looked like betrayal, prison, and loss slowly reveals a story where God was working the whole time. As Joseph's brothers return during the famine, the story becomes a powerful picture of Christ's character. Through hidden mercy, undeserved generosity, and a carefully unfolding plan, Joseph's actions begin to mirror the heart of Jesus — a Savior who sees us fully, works for our good even when we cannot see it, and offers grace far beyond what we deserve. This episode is a reminder that even when the story feels unfinished, God is still writing. And in the end, the same truth echoes through every chapter: what others may intend for harm, God can still turn into something good.

In June 2025, President D. Todd Christofferson gave a landmark address to Religious Educators titled "Lifelong Disciples of Jesus Christ." In this bonus episode, John Hilton visits with BYU Religious Education professors Jenet Erickson, Matthew Richardson, and Philip Allred to unpack its implications for teaching and discipleship.  Their conversation centers on President Christofferson's invitation to highlight the vital role of agency in becoming a disciple of Jesus Christ. The panel members explore concrete practices to help students take personal ownership in their learning. They also discuss how to move beyond information transfer and instead focus on helping students deepen their connection with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ through active engagement and the guiding influence of the Holy Ghost.

What did Jesus really mean when He said, “Judge not”? In Matthew 7, Jesus confronts the judgmental spirit that so easily takes root in our hearts and calls His followers to something better—a life marked by grace, humility, and discernment. In this message, we explore the difference between being judgmental and exercising biblical discernment, why dealing with the “log” in our own eye matters before pointing out the “speck” in someone else's, and how the grace of God transforms the way we see people. Ultimately, Jesus invites us to stop living as critics and start living as people shaped by grace. Through prayer, humility, and surrender to Christ, we can step off the broad road of pride and onto the narrow way that leads to life.

In this encouraging message, Chad Narayan reminds us that God is constantly at work in our lives—even when we don't recognize it. Centered on Psalm 66:5, he teaches that God invites us to “come and see” His works and realize that miracles are happening all around us every day. Instead of living with stress, control, and performance-driven faith, we are called to step back in awe and wonder, remembering that God's love is not earned but freely received. Chad challenges believers to shift their perspective by lifting their eyes to God, trusting that nothing is too difficult for Him and that every circumstance can be restored by His power. As we recognize God's presence and goodness, our faith grows and our anxiety shrinks. The message ultimately calls us to move from being spectators of faith to active witnesses—sharing our stories, living boldly for Christ, and partnering with God in what He is doing in our families, workplaces, and communities.

Pastor JD explains 3-reasons as to how it is and why it is that we can successfully resist Satan's temptations as did Jesus in His love for us, as a model to us

Prophets to the Southern Kingdom is Chuck's commentary on the books of Joel, Micah, Zephaniah, and Habakkuk. The Prophets to the Southern Kingdom spoke many promises of Israel's return to the land, Christ's second coming and the overall time line from Babylon all the way through the Millennium. In a time of great turmoil, these men focused on the hope of the coming Messiah and His Kingdom. The book of Joel is a neglected book among Bible scholars. It's an important book because it records Israel's place in God's program: from Babylon all the way through the Millennium. Micah's message was heeded, repentance followed, and disaster was postponed for a century. Here was a prophet that changed history! One man can make a difference. Both Zephaniah and Jeremiah prophesied to a politically prospering people of coming judgment. Habakkuk means to embrace. Habakkuk's main theme is God's consistency with Himself in view of permitted evil. Why do bad things happen to good people? Habakkuk is among the last of the minor prophets to preach in Judah before the Babylonian captivity. This study contains 13 hours of verse by verse teachings. Copyright © 10-01-2010

What if the peace you're searching for isn't found in fixing your life but in trusting one person?In John 14, Jesus sits with his closest friends hours before his arrest. The room is tense. Fear is rising. Their world is about to collapse. And Jesus says something shocking. Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust God. Trust me. In a world filled with anxiety, confusion, and pressure to earn approval, Jesus claims something bold. He is the way, the truth, and the life. Not one option among many. The only path to real peace and connection with God. But this story is not about religion or rule keeping. It is about relationship. Jesus reveals that God is not a distant judge but a Father who wants you close. Through the cross, Jesus makes a way for broken people to come home. The invitation is open to everyone. The same door. The same grace. When you finally trust what Jesus has done for you, the troubled heart begins to find peace.

How does comparing ourselves to others affect our relationship with God? Pastor James shows through God's word how covetousness can be a form of idolatry, as seen in Colossians 3:5, and how comparing ourselves to others can lead to being discontent. Learn how contentment, rooted in trusting God's timing and provision, is the key to overcoming this struggle and growing in faith.ABOUT THIS SERMONIn this sermon, we dive deep into the first and last of the Ten Commandments: having no other gods before God and not coveting. Pastor James draws a powerful connection between these two commandments, showing how covetousness is, in fact, a form of idolatry according to Colossians 3:5. He shares how contentment is the antidote to covetousness and that true contentment isn't about lacking ambition, but rather about trusting God's timing and provision while remaining faithful for growth. Tune in to discover how you can find peace in God's plan for your life!KEY VERSES Colossians 3:5 Luke 12:15 Hebrews 13:5 Proverbs 30:8-9 ABOUT WORD OF GOD MINISTRIESIt is the vision of WOGM to preach Jesus as the manifested Word of God!

FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – On the Third Sunday of Lent, believers reflect on Jesus offering the Woman at the Well living water that brings eternal life. At the same time, Purim celebrates God's deliverance of His people. The moment invites gratitude, prayer for Jerusalem's peace, and renewed hope in God's saving power and promise today...

Bodies fail, minds spin out of control—we all face moments where we just can’t fix what’s broken in our lives. But when you bring your need to Jesus, you'll find something powerful: a God who still heals, restores, and meets you right where you are.

844 I Hid Myself Because I Was Naked, A Guided Christian Meditation on Genesis 3:8-10 with the Recenter With Christ app The purpose of this podcast is to help you find more peace in  and connect with the true source of peace, Jesus Christ.  Outline: Relaxation, Reading, Meditation, Prayer, Contemplation and Visualization.  You can sit comfortably and uninterrupted for about 20 minutes.You should hopefully not be driving or anything tense or unrel axing.  If you feel comfortable to do so, I invite you to close your eyes.   Guided Relaxation / Guided Meditation:   Breathe and direct your thoughts to connecting with God. Let your stomach be a balloon inflate,  deflate. Scripture for Meditation Genesis 3 NIV 8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the Lord God called to the man, "Where are you?" 10 He answered, "I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid." KJV 8 And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. 9 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? 10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. Reflection on Scripture: What an interesting turn of events. When Adam and Eve ate from the tree from which they were commanded against, the scripture does not say they hid because they disobeyed God. It says they hid because they were naked. It seems like the wrong thing to be fearful that the Lord sees. God created their naked bodies. God has already seen their nakedness and yet this is the motivation for hiding from God.  Aside from the silliness of trying to hide from God, it seems the wrong reason to hide from God. It also seems like a wonderful deception for Satan. To foul their understanding of their sexual identity before the Lord quite literally. In the final day of active creation God created Adam, then as his culminating act of creation, he created Eve. In this act of creation he invited Adam and Eve to participate with Him in the act of creation of human bodies. The sexual acts that create their offspring is a literal usage of this gift for its intended purpose. Satan did not want them to develop a healthy relationship with this power. He wanted to immediately corrupt their perception. Their sexual bodies were incorrectly seen as an embarrassment before God.  Satan has waged a full fledged war against the correct perception and usage of this sacred creative power represented by their nudity. He tries to make the whole world mock, cheapen, objectify, and minimize the gift of sexuality. And on top of that, after he has done that, he seeks to heap on shame for it at the same time. God would have us reject the perspective of Satan, and the world. I believe God would prefer for us to protect the sacredness of this gift while also rejecting the shame the enemy would place upon it. Embrace the sacredness that God has put into you. Don't misuse it. Don't hide from the Lord when you fear or make errors. Let us not be in a place where God ever has to ask, where are you? Let us always seek His face, especially when we fall short, that he can redeem us.  Meditation of Prayer: Pray as directed by the Spirit. Dedicate these moments to the patient waiting, when you feel ready ask God for understanding you desire from Him. Meditation of God and His Glory / Hesychasm: I invite you to sit in silence feeling patient for your own faults and trials.

NET 4 The serpent said to the woman, "Surely you will not die, 5 for God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will open and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." 6 When the woman saw that the tree produced fruit that was good for food, was attractive to the eye, and was desirable for making one wise, she took some of its fruit and ate it. She also gave some of it to her husband who was with her, and he ate it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them opened, and they knew they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
