Jesus' first sign was not feeding the poor. It wasn't healing the sick or raising the dead. It was keeping a party going.  In the book of John, there's a series of miracles that are called signs. That's important because it means Jesus' miracles weren't naked displays of power. They signify. They're symbolic. They point to who Jesus is and what he came to do. And the first sign of Jesus' ministry is turning water into wine. What does that say about him?  Let's take a look and ask 1) what do the jars point to? 2) what does the brusque exchange with his mother point to? 3) what does the wine point to? and 4) what does this mean for us? This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on January 19, 2014. Series: Seeing Jesus. Scripture: John 2:1-11.

This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

When you think about how much it cost Jesus to set us free, it's hard to imagine returning to bondage. Dr. Tony Evans explains how easy it is to slip back into slavery—and how to live fully in the freedom grace provides.

Violence and faith are rarely discussed in the same sentence… yet the Bible contains warriors who were honored by God. We start by looking at the Hebrew word often translated as “murder.” Does the commandment actually forbid all killing, or is the meaning more specific than most people realize? Understanding that distinction changes how we view justice, protection, and the defense of the innocent.That question leads directly into the story of Sam Childers. Once a violent outlaw biker, Childers experienced a radical transformation that took him to the war zones of East Africa, where children were being kidnapped and forced into militias. Instead of simply observing the crisis, he began rescuing them, sometimes in the middle of active conflict with warlords connected to figures like Joseph Kony. We previously recorded an interview with Sam, and tonight we're sharing that conversation with the full audience. His story raises uncomfortable questions about faith, violence, and what it really means to defend the vulnerable when evil is operating in the open.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

Welcome to Mysterious Universe Season 35 Episode number 10! We are here to talk about some of the most jarring funeral ritual customs from around this freaky world. Featuring but not limited to mummy tupperware, the tribe that dresses up their dead to join them for dinner, hella devoted wives who light themselves ablaze to mourn the loss of their dead hubby-hubs, some super fun curses of course, and the possible burial plot of super-savior to some and homeboy to all, Jesus Christ.  For our Plus+ extension, we go into the fantastic book The Dead Have Never Died by Edward C. Randall, who relates experiences of talking directly to dead people, but not in the ordinary sense. He goes with a more blunt interrogatory approach, asking them what it's LIKE to die, what the next phase looks like, what their experiences in the afterlife feel like, and closes out with a bit of philosophical wanderings on what this might mean for every human life, as well as non-human consciousness.

“Where do we see the Mass in Acts of the Apostles?” This question opens a discussion on the early Church’s practices, alongside topics like defending infant baptism against claims of its necessity, and the significance of Jesus’ addition of “mind” in Mark 12:30. The conversation also touches on the reasons behind reluctance to go to confession and the implications of the papacy’s location. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 01:20 – Where do we see the Mass in Acts of the Apostles? 09:38 – How do we defend the baptism of infants? My co-worker says you just need faith and it's not necessary to baptize babies. 17:52 – In Mark 12:30 Jesus quotes the great shema. In Deuteronomy it says to love God with your whole heart, soul, and strength. Why does Mark add the word “mind” to that? 22:15 – Why do some people feel reluctant to go to confession? 28:39 – Is the papacy so tied to Rome that it could never be somewhere else? If Islam took over Europe could the pope be based somewhere else? 31:58 – Why isn't the book of Maccabees in the King James Bible? I'm trying to talk about the faith with my Seventh Day Adventist family members. 41:00 – Mt 10:3 calls James son of Alpheus, and Mk 2:14-17 calls Levi the son of Alpheus. Could they be brothers? 44:17 – My grown children think we are living in a simulation. How can I counter this? 50:13 – You said the King James did not translate the deuterocan books. But I have two KJV Bibles that include the deuterocanonical books. 52:01 – I've been getting along with my new coworkers because they are Christian. But today Mary came up and they really attacked Catholic teaching on Mary. What can I say to them?

When life presents a challenge, it’s easy for our thoughts to drift toward worst-case scenarios. A strained relationship, financial pressure, or a troubling diagnosis can quickly fill our minds with fear and uncertainty. Preparing ourselves mentally for the worst can feel like wisdom—but often it simply redirects our attention away from God’s power and onto our problems. Ephesians 3:20-21 reminds us that God’s ability far exceeds our expectations. He is “able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine.” The possibilities of what God can do are not limited by our experiences, our logic, or even our imagination. Sometimes when we pray, we unintentionally limit our expectations. We pray cautiously, hoping for a solution that seems reasonable or realistic from our perspective. But God’s plans are not confined to what we can foresee. His wisdom and creativity extend far beyond our understanding. Worry can be described as a form of negative faith—imagining a future where God doesn’t intervene. Instead of imagining what could go wrong, Scripture invites us to imagine what God could do. This doesn’t mean every challenge disappears instantly or that every prayer unfolds exactly the way we expect. Often, God’s greatest work happens within us as we face the difficulty. He strengthens our faith, shapes our character, and teaches us to rely on Him more deeply. When you face a challenge, you can choose to brace for the worst—or you can trust that God is already at work. His power is active, His love is present, and His plans for you are greater than you can imagine. Main Takeaways Focusing on worst-case scenarios can shift our attention away from God’s power. God is able to do far more than we can ask or imagine. Prayer should reflect trust in God’s limitless possibilities. Worry can be replaced with faith-filled expectation. God often works within us while we face challenges. Today’s Bible Verse “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.” – Ephesians 3:20-21, NIV Your Daily Prayer Prayer excerpt for listeners: “Help me replace my worries with faith and expect the good you are working in my life.” Listen to the full prayer here.

When the church was raptured, there was left behind on the earth the people who were religious but not saved. This false church became a political force to control the masses. Learn how this “harlot” as she is called (because she is not the bride of Christ) becomes used, abused, and finally eliminated in this ongoing drama of the Tribulation.

God has provided everything you'll ever need, but just like He did with Elijah, He's not sending it to where you are—He's sending your provision to where He told you to go. Find everything you've been believing for in your place “called there.”

It's Last Call! Catholic biblical scholar, Dr. Brant Pitre, is back to absolutely DESTROY heretical TikTokers (in a nice way) with Last Call host, Matt Fradd. Pints: Last Call Ep. 5

Jamie Walden joins Tony for a direct and practical conversation about preparedness, survival, and the responsibility Christians have to think ahead. Drawing from his background as a Marine Corps infantry sergeant and years of ministry work, Jamie explains why preparation is not rooted in fear but in wisdom, stewardship, and protecting the people God has placed in your care. He walks through the mindset shift believers need if systems fail, emphasizing community, skill-building, and the importance of developing resilient families and churches. The discussion also explores how modern comfort has weakened many people's ability to endure hardship. Jamie argues that preparation begins with spiritual readiness, but it must also include practical planning and discipline. The goal, he says, is not isolation or paranoia, but building communities capable of standing firm and helping others when difficult times arrive.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

Are Christians Cowards? | Coffee with KeysDescription: In this episode of Coffee with Keys, 19Keys asks a bold and uncomfortable question: why do some modern Christians openly attack Islam while avoiding criticism of other religious systems?This thought-provoking brief explores the historical, psychological, and cultural dynamics behind religious conflict in the modern world. 19Keys reflects on the teachings of Jesus, the similarities between Christianity and Islam, and the role propaganda, politics, and fear may play in shaping public narratives.Rather than offering final answers, this conversation is meant to spark deeper reflection, dialogue, and courage in examining our own beliefs and the systems around us.If you're seeking higher-level conversations about faith, culture, power, and truth, this episode invites you to think beyond the surface.Learn more about SuperMind Coffee and cognitive wellness: asupermind.comJoin the Ziion community for exclusive content, conversations, and access: ziion.ioSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/19keys/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Burnout is a silent crisis that often hides behind faithfulness, especially among those serving others while quietly running on empty. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar confront the unseen pressure carried by pastors, leaders, and faithful believers who struggle to say no and rarely step aside to rest. The guys remind listeners that even Jesus called His disciples to come away and rest, modeling the need for both physical and spiritual renewal. Many assume those they admire are immune to exhaustion, yet the burden of ministry can quietly erode joy and clarity when limits are ignored.The guys explore how burnout is often rooted in a lack of abiding in Christ rather than mere overwork. Mark shares that when prayer and communion with the Lord diminish, pressure mounts, and running on empty feels normal. Intentional prayer, written requests, and persistent seeking restore perspective and remind believers of God's faithfulness. Oscar reflects on seasons of burnout tied to conflict and disappointment in ministry, recognizing that even faithful effort must be grounded in the reapplication of the gospel. Community tension, envy, and self-seeking reveal the need for repentance and a renewed vision of Christ. The guys examine how sin and self-righteousness can quietly fuel exhaustion. Wandering thoughts and hidden rebellion rob believers of peace, while striving to earn God's favor produces spiritual fatigue. Grace must move from concept to reality, transforming discipline into delight. Love for God and neighbor becomes the fuel that revives weary hearts, shifting focus away from perfectionism and performance. Legalism and antinomianism both distort the gospel and leave souls restless, yet adoption in Christ frees believers from slavery to self. Rest flows from knowing the love of God deeply and personally, not merely affirming it intellectually.Finally, the guys offer practical encouragement for those carrying heavy loads. True rest involves both body and soul, embracing the Sabbath principle and admitting weakness before the Lord and trusted community. E.Z. reflects on the strain of overwhelming responsibility and the danger of carrying practical burdens alone. The guys urge believers to speak up, seek help, and humble themselves rather than suffer silently. They also call churches and families to support one another actively, lightening the load through encouragement and tangible care. Burnout does not disqualify a believer but can become an invitation to deeper dependence, renewed love, and lasting rest in Christ.Send a textThanks for listening!

Sometimes the most profound lessons about faith are found in the simplest parts of creation. Jesus pointed to wildflowers—small, fragile, and easily overlooked—to teach a powerful truth about trust and provision. In Luke 12:27, Jesus tells us to “consider how the wildflowers grow.” They do not work endlessly to secure their future. They do not worry about appearance or provision. Yet God clothes them with beauty that surpasses even the splendor of King Solomon. This invitation is more than poetic imagery—it is a challenge to our anxious hearts. So much of our energy is spent striving: trying to secure financial stability, maintain control over our circumstances, or ensure everything unfolds according to our plans. Worry can quietly dominate our thoughts, convincing us that everything depends on our effort. But the wildflowers tell another story. They grow in quiet dependence. They trust the sun to rise and the rain to fall. Without striving, they flourish exactly as God designed them. Their beauty reflects the care of the Creator who sustains them. Jesus used this image to remind His listeners that if God cares for something as small and temporary as a flower, how much more does He care for His children? Worry often pulls our attention toward what we lack or what might go wrong. But when we shift our focus to God’s provision—seen throughout creation—we remember that He is attentive, present, and faithful. Considering the wildflowers is not about ignoring real concerns. It is about remembering who ultimately holds our lives in His hands. As we seek God first, He promises to provide what we truly need. Main Takeaways Jesus used the wildflowers as a reminder of God’s faithful provision. Worry often distracts us from trusting God’s care. Creation reflects God’s attention to detail and beauty. Faith involves releasing control and trusting God’s provision. Seeking God first brings peace that replaces anxiety. Today’s Bible Verse Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. — Luke 12:27 (NIV) Your Daily Prayer Prayer excerpt for listeners: “Help me trust Your provision and release the worries I’ve been carrying.” Listen to the full prayer here.

Bald Guy Brew Coffee is located in Boone, NC. Boone and the surrounding region were devastated by Hurricane Helene and still have not received enough federal support to fully rebuild over a year later. Yet we have spent over $11 Billion on a war we started in Iran, after only 12 days. The hypocrisy is real. People in our nation are more consumed with killing people they only know through propaganda, than demanding the necessary support for regions in need here at home. All of this comes down to the relationship one has in Christ, the obedience to his WAY and the rock you stand on.  #BardsFM_Morning #TheRockOfFaith #Peacemakers Bards Nation Health Store: www.bardsnationhealth.com EnviroKlenz Air Purification, promo code BARDS to save 10%: www.enviroklenz.com EMPShield protect your vehicles and home.

Are written prayers biblical or just empty tradition? If you've ever felt like praying someone else's words isn't "sincere" or questioned whether liturgical prayers belong in the Christian life, this episode will challenge your assumptions and open up a rich tradition of faith. Did Jesus forbid scripted prayers in Matthew 6:6–7? Many Christians assume prayer must always be spontaneous. But throughout both Jewish and early Christian worship, written prayers were a normal part of community life.In this episode, we look at the history of liturgical prayer and why Acts 2:42 says the early believers devoted themselves to “the prayers.” We'll also talk about how written prayers can strengthen—not replace—your personal conversations with God. We will also explore the beauty and biblical foundation of liturgical prayers, from the Psalms (which are themselves written prayers) to the Book of Common Prayer and prayers written by early church fathers like Polycarp. Many American evangelicals dismiss written prayers as "ritualistic" or empty tradition, but Scripture shows us that God gave us the Psalms to pray, Jesus gave us the Lord's Prayer to pray, and faithful Christians throughout history have used written prayers to train themselves in adoration, confession, and thanksgiving—not just requests. I also share a few favorite historic prayer resources and simple ways to turn Scripture into your own prayers.Shop Prayer Resources⦿ Every Woman a Theologian Shop: https://phyliciamasonheimer.com/shop Our Spring Shop is live and filled with new prayer-focused resources including the Praying the Psalms Scripture Guide and Not-So-Quiet Time: Psalms Volume 1, a multisensory guide that you can use alone or as a family discipleship tool.Watch the full Verity Podcast Prayer Series: https://www.youtube.com/@veritypodcastSubscribe to Verity Podcast: https://apple.co/veritypodcastVerity Podcast is an Every Woman a Theologian company.

In Episode 437, Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger explore Kings Island in Suffield, Connecticut. The island was once home to DeWitt Terry, A Seventh Day Adventist elder who believed the second coming of Christ, and thus the end of times was going to occur November 5, 1873 (spoilers: he was wrong). Over 100 people once gathered on this island to await the end.  See more here: https://ournewenglandlegends.com/podcast-437-doomsday-island-in-the-connecticut-river/  Listen ad-free plus get early access and bonus episodes at: https://www.patreon.com/NewEnglandLegends  Buy Jeff Belanger's new book Wicked Strange New England on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4lMkM3G  Check out Jeff's new underground publication Shadow Zine! https://shadowzine.com/  Listen to Ray's Local Raydio! https://localraydio.com/
