Podcast appearances and mentions of jesus ministries

(This podcast was previously published on September 23, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   God has given to each of us an assignment to fulfill HIS purpose while we live on this earth.   In the Old Testament, God gave portions of lands to HIS people but they had to go up and possess that land though God had given it to them.   Deuteronomy 1   21 Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.  

(This podcast was previously published on September 22, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   God speaks to Moses:   Exodus 33   14 And HE (God) said, MY presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.   15 And he (Moses) said unto HIM (God), If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.   16 For wherein shall it be known here that I and THY people have found grace in THY sight? is it not in that THOU goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and THY people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth.   It is impossible for light and darkness to co-exist in the same room.   When the Word comes to us, we become light.  That Word separates us from the darkness.   Hebrews 4:12  For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

(This podcast was previously published on September 20, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   I Corinthians 12   4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.   5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.   6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.   7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.   8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;   9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;   (There is a spiritual gift of "faith.")   10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:   11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as HE (God) will.  

Welcome to Be Bold for Jesus MinistriesOur mission is to equip believers to live boldly for Christ with discernment, obedience, and unwavering trust in God, especially during the seasons when His plan seems hidden and His hand appears unseen. Led by Lee Arnold and Jaclyn Arnold, Be Bold for Jesus Ministries teaches God's Word with clarity and conviction, helping believers trust God's sovereignty even when life doesn't make sense.Today's Message“When You Cannot See the Hand of God, Trust the Heart of God”Lee Arnold Live Scripture: Esther 1:1–22The book of Esther begins in a surprising way.There are no miracles. No prophets. No burning bushes. No angels. No mention of God at all.Instead, we find a pagan king, a drunken banquet, a royal conflict, political pride, bad advice, and a queen who loses her position. On the surface, it looks like chaos.But behind every event, God is quietly at work.King Xerxes ruled one of the largest empires in history, spanning 127 provinces and nearly half the known world. He possessed immense wealth, military power, and influence. Yet despite controlling an empire, he could not control himself. His pride, anger, and lack of self-discipline set into motion a chain of events that would ultimately position a young Jewish woman named Esther to save God's people.Esther 1 reminds us that God's providence is often working behind the scenes long before we recognize it.Key Takeaways• God is still working even when His name isn't mentioned • Power without character leads to destruction • Self-control is greater than worldly success • Bad counsel can turn small problems into major crises • Anger and pride often produce lifelong consequences • God's discipline is not God's rejection • Faithfulness in ordinary moments can have eternal impact • God's providence is often hidden but never absent • The most important battles are often internal, not external • When we cannot see God's hand, we can still trust His heartToday's ReminderXerxes could rule 127 provinces.But he couldn't rule himself.He controlled armies.But he couldn't control his temper.He possessed extraordinary power.But he lacked extraordinary character.The great lesson of Esther 1 is that God is far more concerned with who we are becoming than what we are building.You can build a successful business and lose your family.You can accumulate wealth and lose your character.You can lead many people and still fail to lead yourself.God is interested in the heart.Yet the greatest truth of Esther isn't about Xerxes.It's about God.Throughout the entire chapter, God is never mentioned once.Yet He is everywhere.Vashti couldn't see it.Xerxes couldn't see it.Esther couldn't see it.But God was already arranging events that would eventually save His people.What looked like palace drama was actually divine providence.What looked like chaos was actually God's plan unfolding.And the same is true for many of us today.You may not understand your current season.You may not understand why a door closed.You may not understand why another hasn't opened.But God sees what you cannot.Today's ChallengeBe faithful where God has placed you.Just as Jon Egglen couldn't see the future impact of one snowy Sunday morning, we often have no idea what God is doing through our simple acts of obedience.The question isn't:Can you see God's plan?The question is:Will you trust Him when you can't?Because Esther teaches us one unforgettable truth:When you cannot see the hand of God, trust the heart of God.Stay Connected• Sunday Sermons – Live on Zoom & Facebook • Wednesday Bible Study – BB4J Interactive Sermon Discussion • Daily Dose of Boldness – Daily encouragement from God's WordBe Bold for Jesus Conference 2026October 2–3, 2026Tickets & information at BB4J.comSupport the MissionHelp us continue sharing the Gospel and equipping believers to live boldly, wisely, and obediently for Christ.Give at bebold4jesus.org#BeBoldForJesus #Esther1 #TrustTheHeartOfGod #EstherBibleStudy #GodsProvidence #FaithOverFear #SpiritLed #ChristianLiving #BibleTeaching #SundaySermon #TrustGod #GodIsWorking #KingdomPurpose #BoldFaith #WhenYouCannotSeeGod

(This podcast was previously published on September 19, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   The one thing that is the same between the Old Testament church and the New Testament church is this:  The ones who believed in God, believed God was speaking and they did that which God said to do.  

(This podcast was previously published on September 17, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   Hebrews 1   1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,   2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by HIS Son, whom HE hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also HE made the worlds;   3 Who being the brightness of HIS glory, and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of HIS power, when HE had by HIMSELF purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;  

(This podcast was previously published on September 16, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   God called Moses to come up to HIM and Moses was with God 40 days in the mountain, and God gave Moses commandments for the children of Israel.   All his life, God prepared for Moses to lead HIS people.  The call of God was on Moses even from his youth.  God arranged for Moses to be taken into Pharaoh's  daughter's house as a baby where he was "learned in all the ways of the Egyptians" and he was in a very high position in Egypt.   We read the following about Moses:   Acts 7   20 In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father's house three months:   21 And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.   22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.   23 And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.   24 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:   25 For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.   (We see that Moses knew even then that he would be used by God to deliver the children of Israel.)   26 And the next day he shewed himself unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another?   27 But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?   (In fact, God had made Moses to be a ruler and judge over the people of Israel and that would happen 40-years later when the time was right.)   28 Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday?   29 Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begat two sons.   When God revealed HIMSELF to Moses when Moses was 80-years-old in the land of Midian and called Moses and charged Moses to go back to Egypt where he would deliver the children of Israel, we see the following:   Exodus 3:10-11  God said to Moses:  Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth MY people the children of Israel out of Egypt.   11 And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?   But 40 years earlier when Moses killed the Egyptian and freed the man of Israel, Moses knew he would be used by God to deliver the Israelites from Egypt.   In God's time, this would happen.  Moses was called by God, appointed for a work of God, and trained by God for this work.  It was not of Moses but of God.  

(This podcast was previously published on September 15, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   John 14:6   Jesus says:  I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by ME.   Jesus, The Word, is the way to go to God.   When God speaks to us, we believe the Word and we agree with what God has said and we are born again and given the Holy Spirit of God when we believe the Word given to us.   And immediately God changes us into a new creature, not of ourselves nor of our own works, but by God will.   II Corinthians 5:17  Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.  

Join Rob McConnell as he welcomes David Paul Doyle, Christian author, speaker, and founder of Jesus Ministries, for an inspiring discussion about his book, How to Hear the Voice of God. Through decades of ministry and personal spiritual experience, David has dedicated his life to helping people develop a closer relationship with God by recognizing His guidance in their everyday lives. His teachings emphasize faith, discernment, prayer, and spiritual growth as essential elements in understanding God's direction. In How to Hear the Voice of God, David explores the many ways believers can recognize divine guidance through Scripture, prayer, the prompting of the Holy Spirit, and life's circumstances. He addresses common questions about spiritual discernment, distinguishing God's voice from personal thoughts or emotions, and developing a deeper awareness of God's presence. His practical approach encourages readers to cultivate a life of faith, trust, and obedience while growing in spiritual confidence. During this uplifting conversation, Rob and David discuss the importance of prayer, the role of the Holy Spirit, biblical principles for spiritual discernment, and how individuals can strengthen their relationship with God through listening, reflection, and faithful living. Together they examine the challenges many people face in seeking divine guidance and offer insights into building a more meaningful spiritual life. Whether you're a lifelong Christian, exploring matters of faith, or simply interested in understanding how people experience divine guidance, this episode of The 'X' Zone Radio Show provides an engaging and thoughtful conversation about hearing God's voice and living a faith-centered life.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all CANCOM/XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

(This podcast was previously published on September 14, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   Exodus 19   1 In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.   2 For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount.   3 And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;   4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto Myself.   (It is good for each of us to think on those things which God has done in our lives.)   5 Now therefore, if ye will obey MY voice indeed, and keep MY covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto ME above all people: for all the earth is Mine:   6 And ye shall be unto ME a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation.   These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.  

(This podcast was previously published on September 13, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   The Old Testament and the children of God:   Moses selected men from the tribes of Israel and they assisted him in judging the people.  There were 600,000 men (plus women and children) in the wilderness so it became too much for Moses to do all the work alone.   Moses' father-in-law suggested another plan for Moses in dealing with the people.   Exodus 18   8 And Moses told his father in law all that the LORD had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake, and all the travail that had come upon them by the way, and how the LORD delivered them.   9 And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the LORD had done to Israel, whom HE had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians.   10 And Jethro said, Blessed be the LORD, who hath delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh, WHO hath delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.   11 Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly HE (God) was above them.   12 And Jethro, Moses' father in law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God: and Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses' father in law before God.  

(This podcast was previously published on September 12, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    These Old Testament examples teach us to follow God.  They allow us to see the work of God on behalf of HIS children.  And these examples show us God is always giving information in the problems of life to HIS children.   I find these examples to be strengthening and faith building.   The children of Israel had to fight in many battles, and so do we today.  For to enter in to that land promised by God, we will have many who stand up against us, even people in our own church groups.   But we will learn that the Word from God is all that matters.   Proverbs 21:30-31  There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD. The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD.   All that matters is, "Did God tell me to do this thing?"  

Welcome to Be Bold for Jesus MinistriesOur mission is to equip believers to live boldly for Christ with discernment, obedience, and unwavering trust in God, especially in a world that constantly tempts us to place our confidence in temporary things rather than eternal truth. Led by Lee Arnold and Jaclyn Arnold, Be Bold for Jesus Ministries teaches God's Word with clarity and conviction, helping believers recognize the difference between the kingdoms of this world and the Kingdom of God that will never fall.Today's Message“They Built an Unbreakable Fortress... God Brought It Down”Lee Arnold Live Scripture: Jeremiah 51:1–64Babylon was the most powerful empire on earth. Its walls were massive. Its wealth was unmatched. Its military was feared across the known world. Surrounded by defenses that appeared impenetrable, Babylon believed it was untouchable.But Babylon had one fatal flaw:It measured the strength of its defenses without considering the power of the God who stood against it.Jeremiah 51 is not simply the story of an ancient kingdom's destruction. It is a warning for every nation, every church, and every believer who places confidence in anything other than God.The fortress didn't fall because it was weak.It fell because its greatest vulnerability was the one it never saw coming.Key Takeaways• Every kingdom built by man will eventually fall • God disciplines His children but never abandons them • Pride blinds us to our greatest weaknesses • False security always leads to disappointment • God remains sovereign over nations, leaders, and history • Every wall eventually falls except the Rock of Jesus Christ • What we trust reveals where our true allegiance lies • God calls His people to come out of Babylon and live differently • No earthly success can protect us from God's judgment • Christ is the only Kingdom that cannot be shakenToday's ReminderThree times in Jeremiah 51, God tells His people:"Come out of Babylon."This was more than a command to leave a city.It was a call to leave behind a way of thinking.Babylon represented pride. Babylon represented self-sufficiency. Babylon represented materialism. Babylon represented a world that believed it could thrive without God.And Babylon still exists today.Your Babylon may not be a city.It may be a career.It may be a relationship.It may be a political ideology.It may be a bank account.It may be an addiction.It may be a secret sin.Anything that captures your heart more than Christ has become your Babylon.Jeremiah 51 reminds us that every fortress eventually falls. Every empire eventually crumbles. Every earthly kingdom has an expiration date.But Jesus Christ remains.When the world shakes... He remains.When kingdoms fall... He remains.When everything else fails... He remains.The question isn't whether Babylon will fall.The question is:What are you building your life upon?Because only one Kingdom will never fall.Questions for Reflection• What Babylon am I living in today? • What am I trusting more than Christ? • Where has pride quietly taken root in my life? • Have I confused God's discipline with His rejection? • Am I investing in an earthly kingdom or an eternal one?Stay Connected• Sunday Sermons – Live on Zoom & Facebook • Wednesday Bible Study – BB4J Interactive Sermon Discussion • Daily Dose of Boldness – Daily encouragement from God's WordBe Bold for Jesus Conference 2026October 2–3, 2026Tickets & information at BB4J.comSupport the MissionHelp us continue sharing the Gospel and equipping believers to live boldly, wisely, and obediently for Christ.Give at bebold4jesus.org#BeBoldForJesus #Jeremiah51 #BabylonFell #ComeOutOfBabylon #JesusIsTheRock #KingdomOfGod #FaithOverFear #BibleTeaching #SundaySermon #ChristianLiving #TrustGod #EndTimes #Prophecy #BoldFaith #KingdomThatCannotBeShaken

(This podcast was previously published on September 11, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   Exodus 16   1 And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.   2 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:   (murmured:  complained against)   3 And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.   4 Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in MY law, or no.   5 And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.   (They were not permitted to gather food on the Sabbath nor do any work at all in cooking food on the Sabbath, not even to light a fire for cooking in their tents on the Sabbath.  So they had to gather food the day before the Sabbath and cook food the day before the Sabbath.)   6 And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that the LORD hath brought you out from the land of Egypt:   7 And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for that HE (God) heareth your murmurings against the LORD: and what are we, that ye murmur against us?   (When I start to complain about something, I am often reminded that God hears this and I often stop myself from complaining about the situation and start praying instead.)   8 And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against HIM: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.   9 And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for HE hath heard your murmurings.   10 And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.  

(This podcast was previously published on September 10, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   From the beginning of my being born again and changed into a new creature by God, HE showed me that no man would stand before me all the days of my life.  I would overcome all through HIM and through turning to HIM and by doing that which HE said.   I lived in Lubbock, Texas, in a house owned by Jesus Ministries.  It was tax exempt.   When I left Lubbock, and put the house up for sale, the Lubbock tax assessor put the house into a taxable status, removing us from tax exempt status on the house that was for sale.   But the house was still owned by our ministry group which was declared non-profit by the USA government and the State of Texas, yet the city of Lubbock tried to change our status.   They wanted us to prove to them that we were tax-exempt even though they had the papers saying we were tax-exempt from both the USA government and the State of Texas.   They were trying to charge us $10,000 per year property taxes while the house was for sale.   We could not pay such as a non-profit tax exempt ministry.   I was furious with the tax assessor.   God calmed me down that night, and when I awoke the next morning, I knew exactly what to do.  I believe God planted this in my heart that night.   I sent the following to the tax assessor of Lubbock, Texas.  

(This podcast was previously published on September 9, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   Without problems, would we see the victories of God?   The children of Israel greatly rejoiced when God brought them through the Red Sea and when God drowned Pharaoh and his men in the Red Sea.   Exodus 15   1 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for HE hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath HE thrown into the sea.   2 The LORD is my strength and song, and HE is become my salvation: HE is my God, and I will prepare HIM an habitation (making myself ready for God to live in me); MY father's God, and I will exalt HIM.   3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is HIS name.  

(This podcast was previously published on September 8, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   God set everything perfectly for the deliverance of the children of Israel from Egypt.   (600,000 men plus women and children)   God is going to lead them to the point where their back is to the Red Sea.  Then Pharaoh starts chasing them with his 600 chariots and there is no where for them to go to escape Pharaoh because the Red Sea is to their back!   God will use the Red Sea to destroy Pharaoh and his men and to save the nation of Israel.

(This podcast was previously published on September 4, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   Exodus 6   1 Then the LORD said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.   2  And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD:   3  And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by MY name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.   4  And I have also established MY covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.   5  And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered MY covenant.   6 Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments:   7 And I will take you to ME for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.   8 And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am the LORD.   9 And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.   10  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,   11  Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.   12 And Moses spake before the LORD, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips?   13  And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, and gave them a charge unto the children of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.  

(This podcast was previously published on September 3, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   In the New Testament, Jesus shows us the Word will divide us from those who have not been given God's Word on the matter at hand.   Matthew 10   Jesus says:   34  Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.   (Hebrews 4:12  For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.)   Think of the Word of God as a sword which cuts through the flesh of man and separates.   35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.   36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.   37 He that loveth father or mother more than ME (the Word) is not worthy of ME: and he that loveth son or daughter more than ME is not worthy of ME.   38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after ME (the Word), is not worthy of ME.   39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for My sake (for the sake of the Word)  shall find it.   The Word of God divides us from those people who have not heard from God.   But the Word of God also joins us with those people who have heard from God.   We know the Word from God is good and it is sometimes shocking that others, especially when in our church group, fight against that Word we bring from God.   Pam Padgett encountered this when she told a divorced woman from her church group that if she remarried she would commit adultery.   This woman said, "I don't care what the Bible says.  I know what I believe."   Pam was so shocked to hear that a Christian didn't care what the Bible says.   But many who attend churches are not born again and God has not revealed HIMSELF to such who live this way.

And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.   12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they (the Egyptians) were grieved because of the children of Israel.   13 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour:   14 And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour.

And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.   9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.   10 And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed?

Jeremiah 50 reminds us that every earthly kingdom eventually falls,but God's Kingdom stands forever.Key Takeaways• Giants fall when they forget God• Pride is often the hidden cause of destruction• Success becomes dangerous when it convinces us we no longer need God• False gods always make false promises• Every earthly kingdom eventually comes to an end• God's judgment is always balanced by His mercy• No sin is too great for God's forgiveness• Jesus Christ is the only unshakable foundationToday's ReminderBabylon looked unstoppable, but pride caused its downfall. Jeremiah 50 challenges us to ask whatwe are building our lives upon. Will we build on temporary kingdoms or on Christ? Through Jesus,our sins are forgiven, forgotten, and removed forever.Four Questions to Consider• Where is pride quietly taking root in my life?• What am I trusting besides Christ?• Is there something I've stopped believing God can forgive?• Which kingdom am I really building?Stay ConnectedSunday Sermons - Live on Zoom & FacebookWednesday Bible Study - He's The Solution Interactive DiscussionDaily Dose of BoldnessBe Bold for Jesus Conference 2026October 2-3, 2026BB4J.comGive at bebold4jesus.org

Welcome to Be Bold for Jesus MinistriesOur mission is to equip believers to live boldly for Christ with discernment, obedience, andunwavering trust in God—especially in a world filled with false promises of security. Led by LeeArnold and Jaclyn Arnold, Be Bold for Jesus Ministries teaches God's Word with clarity andconviction, calling believers to place their confidence in Christ rather than the temporary securitiesof this world.Today's MessageThe Danger of False SecurityLee Arnold LiveScripture: Jeremiah 49:1–39Jeremiah 49 contains a series of warnings to the nations surrounding Israel—Ammon, Edom,Damascus, Kedar, Hazor, and Elam. Each nation trusted in something that made them feel secure.Some trusted their wealth. Others trusted military power, wisdom, geography, or reputation. But allof them shared the same fatal flaw: they placed their confidence in something other than God.Like the residents who ignored the warnings before Mount St. Helens erupted, these nationsmistook past stability for future security. They assumed that because judgment had not come yet, itnever would. But God's warnings are acts of mercy, and His promises always come to pass.Key Takeaways• God's warnings are acts of mercy, not cruelty• False security can be more dangerous than obvious danger• Wealth, wisdom, power, and reputation cannot save us• Pride causes nations and individuals to ignore God's warnings• God often removes the very thing we trust more than Him• Every earthly fortress will eventually crumble• The strongest refuge is a relationship with Jesus Christ• God's judgment is always balanced by His mercy and grace• Repentance leads to restoration• The only security that lasts forever is found in Christ aloneToday's ReminderThe Ammonites trusted their riches. The Edomites trusted Petra. Damascus trusted its history andreputation. The Bedouins trusted their independence. The Elamites trusted their military strength.Every nation believed it possessed something that made it untouchable. Every nation was wrong.Jeremiah 49 asks a deeply personal question: What is your Petra? What are you relying on morethan God? The danger is not having these things—the danger is trusting them. God loves usenough to expose our false securities before they become our destruction. The only refuge that hasnever failed and never will fail is Jesus Christ.Stay Connected• Sunday Sermons – Live on Zoom & Facebook• Wednesday Bible Study – He's The Solution Interactive Discussion• Daily Dose of Boldness – Daily encouragement from God's WordBe Bold for Jesus Conference 2026October 2–3, 2026Tickets & information at BB4J.comSupport the MissionGive at bebold4jesus.org#BeBoldForJesus #Jeremiah49 #FalseSecurity #TrustGod #FaithOverFear #JesusIsTheRock#BibleTeaching #SundaySermon

(the ark)   God also raised up another righteous man unto HIMSELF, Abraham.  (Genesis 12)   God spoke to Abram and told him to depart from his father's house and Abram departed.   Abram departed as the Lord had told him but he didn't know where he was going.  He just departed from his father's land.   Genesis 12   4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.   (For 25 years, God told Abram that great nations would come from his seed.  But Sarai, Abram's wife was barren.  In spite of the circumstances, Abram believed God and it was counted by God as righteousness because Abram believed God.  He refused to believe that which he saw with his natural eyes.  Abram clung to the Word of God.)   5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.   6 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.   7 And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.   Abram had no seed.  Abram had no children and his wife Sarai was barren.  Abram was 75 when he departed as God had told him to do and Abram was going to wait another 25 years before God gave him "that promised seed."   8 And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD.   9 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.   10 And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.  

(This podcast was previously published on August 21, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   Noah was a righteous man, so when God destroyed this present earth by waters covering the earth, God made a way to save the life of Noah and His generations.   God later raised up another righteous man:  Abram, renamed Abraham by God.   Genesis 12  (God speaks to Abram)   1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:   2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:   3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.   4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him;   Keeping the Word spoken by God before us is the only thing that matters.  As we do that, we follow God.  In the coming Podcasts and writings, we will focus on what God said.

(This podcast was previously published on August 16, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   2 Peter 3   1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:   2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:   3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,   4 And saying, Where is the promise of HIS coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.   5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:   6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:   7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.   8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.   9 The Lord is not slack concerning HIS promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.   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.  

Welcome to Be Bold for Jesus MinistriesOur mission is to equip believers to live boldly for Christ with discernment, obedience, and unwavering trust in God—especially during seasons of change, disruption, and spiritual growth. Led by Lee Arnold and Jaclyn Arnold, Be Bold for Jesus Ministries teaches God's Word with clarity and conviction, encouraging believers to embrace God's refining work rather than settle into spiritualcomplacency.Today's Message“God Loves You Too Much to Settle”Lee Arnold LiveScripture: Jeremiah 48:1–47Jeremiah 48 contains God's message to the nation of Moab—a prosperous, comfortable, andpowerful people who had become consumed by pride. For generations, Moab enjoyed security,wealth, and stability. They had been at rest from youth, untouched by the hardships and challengesthat often drive people closer to God.Using the imagery of winemaking, Jeremiah describes Moab as wine that had never been pouredfrom vessel to vessel. Left sitting too long, the wine became stagnant and bitter. In the same way,Moab's comfort produced complacency, and complacency produced pride.Key Takeaways• Comfort is not always a blessing—sometimes it becomes a spiritual danger• God often pours us from vessel to vessel to prevent complacency• Pride grows when we stop depending on God• Trials and disruptions can be evidence of God's refining work• Prayerlessness is often a symptom of self-reliance• God opposes pride but gives grace to the humble• God's promises and warnings always come to passToday's ReminderGod is far more concerned with your spiritual growth than your personal comfort. He knows that ifwe stay in the same place too long, we can become stagnant, self-sufficient, and spirituallyineffective. Jeremiah 48 reminds us that God doesn't disrupt our lives because He has abandonedus. He disrupts our lives because He loves us. The question is not: Why is God changing things?The real question is: Will you trust Him enough to be poured where He leads?Stay Connected• Sunday Sermons – Live on Zoom & Facebook• Wednesday Bible Study – He's The Solution Interactive Discussion• Daily Dose of Boldness – Daily encouragement from God's WordBe Bold for Jesus Conference 2026October 2–3, 2026Tickets & information at BB4J.comSupport the MissionGive at bebold4jesus.org#BeBoldForJesus #Jeremiah48 #GodLovesYouTooMuchToSettle #SpiritualGrowth #TrustGod#FaithOverComfort #BibleTeachin

Larry McCall has been married to his high school sweetheart for more than 50 years and pastored the same church for over 40. He knows firsthand what it takes to enjoy a marriage that lasts. He's also seen the bad things that happen to marriages in the middle and later years. In his book A Seasoned Marriage, he walks couples through the seasons that can quietly undo a marriage: empty nests, adult kids moving back home, aging parents, and the slow drift from spouse to roommate.

Welcome to Be Bold for Jesus MinistriesOur mission is to equip believers to live boldly for Christ with discernment, obedience, and unwavering trust in God—especially in seasons of fear, uncertainty, and shifting foundations. Led by Lee Arnold and Jaclyn Arnold, Be Bold for Jesus Ministries teaches God's Word with clarity and conviction, calling believers to stop placing confidence in the world and start living fully anchored in God's truth.Today's Message“What Is Your Egypt?”Lee Arnold LiveScripture: Jeremiah 46:1–28Jeremiah 46 shifts the focus beyond Judah and delivers a powerful message about Egypt—a nation that looked strong, secure, and unstoppable. From a human perspective, Egypt had everything: military power, wealth, influence, and stability. For Judah, Egypt seemed like the obvious solution in a time of crisis.But what looked like strength was already headed for collapse.This chapter reminds us that misplaced trust will always lead to disappointment. The very thing Judah believed could save them was the very thing God was about to judge. Egypt could not protect them—because Egypt itself was not secure.Jeremiah 46 isn't just about a nation—it's about the human tendency to run toward something other than God when fear rises. It confronts the question we all must answer: What are we really trusting?Key Takeaways• Anything we trust more than God will eventually fail• What looks strong in the world may already be under God's judgment• Fear often drives us to false sources of security• Earthly power cannot provide lasting protection• God alone is a faithful and unshakable refuge• Jesus is not a temporary solution—He is a faithful Savior who never leaves• Trusting the wrong thing can lead to spiritual collapse• God's promises remain, even when everything else falls apart• The safest place is not in worldly strength—but in God's presenceToday's ReminderJudah looked at Egypt and saw security.God looked at Egypt and saw weakness.They saw protection—God saw judgment.They saw a solution—God saw a problem.How often do we do the same?When life becomes uncertain, we run—to money, careers, relationships, influence, or control. Not because those things are inherently wrong—but because we begin to trust them more than God.Jeremiah 46 reminds us: every “Egypt” eventually falls.The job can disappear.The economy can shift.The relationship can fail.The plan can collapse.But God remains.Twice in this chapter, God speaks directly to His people:“Do not fear… for I am with you.”That is the promise—not that life will be easy, but that God will be faithful.So the question is simple—but deeply personal:What is your Egypt?What are you trusting more than God?Where do you run when fear takes hold?What do you believe will save you?Because Egypt promises security—but delivers disappointment.Jesus promises salvation—and delivers every time.Stay Connected• Sunday Sermons – Live on Zoom & Facebook• Wednesday Bible Study – He's The Solution Interactive Discussion• Daily Dose of Boldness – Daily encouragement from God's WordBe Bold for Jesus Conference 2026October 2–3, 2026Tickets & information at BB4J.comSupport the MissionHelp us continue sharing the Gospel and equipping believers to live boldly, wisely, and obediently for Christ.Give at bebold4jesus.org#BeBoldForJesus #Jeremiah46 #WhatIsYourEgypt #TrustGod #FaithOverFear #SpiritLed #Discernment #UnshakableFaith #BibleTeaching #SundaySermon

Welcome to Be Bold for Jesus MinistriesToday's Message: "When Faithfulness Feels Forgotten"Speaker: Lee Arnold LiveScripture: Jeremiah 45:1–5Have you ever thought, "Lord, I've been faithful... so why does it feel like everyone else is getting aheadexcept me?" Jeremiah 45 is the shortest chapter in the book, but it contains a powerful lesson for anyone who feelsoverlooked, discouraged, or forgotten. It centers on Baruch, Jeremiah's behind-the-scenes secretary. After years of faithful service, Baruch hit a breaking point amid national collapse. God met his discouragement byexposing his heart: "Do you seek great things for yourself? Seek them not." God wasn't rebuking success; He was rebuking self-centered ambition. Sometimes God's greatest blessing is teaching usthat His glory is greater than our recognition.Key Takeaways & ReflectionVisibility vs. Significance: God notices the vital work done behind the scenes. Heaven's Hall of Fame isfilled with people most have never heard of.Faithful People Get Discouraged: Discouragement isn't proof you are outside God's will; sometimes itmeans you are right in the middle of it.Success is Obedience: Kingdom success is measured by obedience, not earthly applause or results.The Ultimate Reward: The greatest reward for serving God is not what He gives us—it is God Himself.Questions to Ask: What area am I refusing to surrender? Am I mistaking God's patience for Hispermission? If God removed everything except Himself, would He still be enough?Our mission is to equip believers to live boldly for Christ with discernment, obedience, andunwavering trust in God.

Welcome to Be Bold for Jesus MinistriesOur mission is to equip believers to live boldly for Christ with discernment, obedience, and unwavering trust in God—especially in seasons of uncertainty, fear, and decision-making. Led by Lee Arnold and Jaclyn Arnold, Be Bold for Jesus Ministries teaches God's Word with clarity and conviction, challenging believers to stop seeking approval for their plans and start surrendering fully to God's will.Today's Message“Don't Ask God If You've Already Decided”Lee Arnold LiveScripture: Jeremiah 42:1–22Jeremiah 42 reveals a powerful and convicting moment in the life of Israel's remnant. After chaos, fear, and uncertainty, the people come to Jeremiah asking him to seek God on their behalf. Their words sound humble. Their request sounds sincere. They promise obedience—whatever God says, they will do.But beneath their spiritual language lies a hidden truth: they had already decided to go to Egypt.This chapter exposes the danger of selective obedience—when we ask God for guidance but only intend to follow it if it aligns with what we already want. The people weren't asking for direction—they were asking for confirmation. And when God's answer finally comes after ten days, it's clear, direct, and good: stay, trust, and obey.But they reject it.Jeremiah 42 challenges us to examine the condition of our own hearts. Are we truly seeking God's will—or just hoping He agrees with ours?Key Takeaways• God cannot be deceived by outward sincerity when the heart is already decided• Asking for guidance without intention to obey is spiritual deception• Delayed obedience is still disobedience• Selective obedience is rebellion disguised as faith• God's will often requires trust over perceived safety• Fear can drive us toward “Egypt” instead of obedience• God's answers may take time—but they are always clear and trustworthy• True faith seeks God's direction, not His endorsement• The safest place is not where life feels easiest—but where God says to standToday's ReminderThe people in Jeremiah 42 sounded spiritual—but they were not surrendered. They asked God to speak, but they had no intention of following Him if the answer didn't match their plans.How often do we do the same?We pray for direction while already leaning toward our own decision. We ask for clarity when God has already spoken. We seek peace—not through obedience—but through justification.Jeremiah waited ten days to hear from the Lord. The people couldn't wait to ignore Him.God's message was simple: Stay where you are. Trust Me. Do not be afraid.But Egypt looked safer.Jeremiah 42 reminds us that what feels safe isn't always right—and what is right often requires surrender, patience, and trust.The real question is not:“Has God spoken?”The real question is:Will you obey what He already said?Because the most dangerous place a believer can live…is pretending to seek God while resisting His answer.Stay Connected• Sunday Sermons – Live on Zoom & Facebook• Wednesday Bible Study – He's The Solution Interactive Discussion• Daily Dose of Boldness – Daily encouragement from God's WordBe Bold for Jesus Conference 2026October 2–3, 2026Tickets & information at BB4J.comSupport the MissionHelp us continue sharing the Gospel and equipping believers to live boldly, wisely, and obediently for Christ.Give at bebold4jesus.org#BeBoldForJesus #Jeremiah42 #DontAskGodIfYouveAlreadyDecided #TrustAndObey #SpiritLed #Discernment #FaithInAction #ObedienceMatters #BibleTeaching #SundaySermon

Welcome to Be Bold for Jesus Ministries

Welcome to Be Bold for Jesus MinistriesOur mission is to equip believers to live boldly for Christ with surrendered obedience, unshakable faith, and courage that holds fast under pressure. We believe truth matters, obedience costs something, and God always keeps the score. Led by Lee Arnold and Jaclyn Arnold, Be Bold for Jesus Ministries teaches God's Word with clarity and conviction, calling believers to stand firm when compromise feels easier than faithfulness.Today's Message“God Keeps the Score”Lee Arnold LiveScripture: Jeremiah 39:1–18Jeremiah 39 records the fulfillment of everything God warned Judah about for decades. The city of Jerusalem falls. Judgment arrives. Choices made in secret are exposed in public. Leaders who refused truth face devastating consequences, while those who trusted God—even quietly and courageously—are remembered, protected, and rewarded.This chapter reminds us that God is never indifferent to obedience or compromise. He sees every decision. He remembers every stand. And He always proves faithful to those who trust Him—no matter how small or unseen their faithfulness may seem.Key Takeaways• God always keeps His Word—both promises and warnings• What we ignore today often determines what we endure tomorrow• Delayed judgment does not mean dismissed judgment• Fear-driven leadership leads to destruction• Obedience may cost us in the moment but saves us in eternity• God sees faithful servants even when people overlook them• Mercy triumphs for those who trust and act in faith• God's rewards are certain, though not always immediateToday's ReminderZedekiah heard the truth repeatedly—yet delayed obedience until it was too late. Jeremiah stood firm—steadfast, rejected, imprisoned, and ignored—yet God never abandoned him. And in the midst of national collapse, God singled out one faithful man, Ebed-melech, and promised him deliverance simply because he trusted the Lord and acted with courage.This chapter proves a timeless truth: Whatever a person sows, they will reap. We may think we are the exception. We may believe time has erased the consequences. But God's justice is precise, patient, and unavoidable.God sees every act of faithfulness.God remembers every quiet prayer.God keeps the score—perfectly.Truth Statements• Standing for truth will often cost you• Weak leadership enables devastating outcomes• Obedience may bring hardship, not comfort• God always sees and sends help in His timing• Fear of people will keep us from God's bestThe question Jeremiah 39 leaves us with is sobering and personal:When obedience costs you something—will you stand, or will you run?When the pressure comes—will you ring the bell, or hold your ground?Because in the end, applause on earth fades—but heaven remembers faithfulness.Stay Connected• Sunday Sermons – Live on Zoom & Facebook• Wednesday Bible Study – He's The Solution Interactive Discussion• Daily Dose of Boldness – Daily encouragement from God's WordBe Bold for Jesus Conference 2026October 2–3, 2026Tickets & information at BB4J.comSupport the MissionHelp us continue sharing the Gospel and equipping believers to stand boldly for Christ in a world that desperately needs truth.Give at bebold4jesus.org#BeBoldForJesus #GodKeepsTheScore #Jeremiah39 #ObedienceOverFear #StandingForTruth #FaithThatEndures #LiveBoldly #BibleTeaching #SundaySermon #FaithInAction
