TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible for August 10th. On day 223 of our journey through scripture, Hunter guides us through powerful passages from Jeremiah chapters 5 and 6, and John chapter 12. We witness a sobering call to repentance for God's people, a prophetic warning against their rebellion, and a vibrant scene of devotion as Mary anoints Jesus' feet. Together, we'll reflect on the deep contrasts between selfishness and sacrificial love, and Hunter will lead us in prayer, gratitude, and encouragement as we seek to let the fragrance of Christ fill our lives. Join us as we draw closer to the heart of God and one another. TODAY'S DEVOTION: The fragrance of new life. When Mary walked into that room, she carried with her more than just an expensive jar of perfume. She brought the memory of her brother Lazarus—dead, buried, and then called out of the tomb by Jesus—back to life. There was a smell to that old grave that she could never forget, yet compared to the aroma of God's love—God's power to call forth life—nothing else could come close. The fragrance of resurrection and hope filled the house as Mary poured herself out in thanksgiving and love at the feet of Jesus. But there are always other scents in the room—unseen, powerful, disruptive. For Judas, the only thing he could smell was his own ambition, his own love of money and self. The stench of his own flesh overpowered any sense of the grace and beauty right before him. The opportunity for devotion slipped by, traded for coins. John tells us this story because he wants us to catch that fragrance again: Christ calls us from death to life. In every act of gratitude, every offering of ourselves, we participate in the sweet aroma of Jesus. When we live in response to his love, when we pour ourselves out at his feet, the room changes. The world takes notice—not of our goodness, but of the beauty of his gift and life within us. So let us receive the offering of Christ's life, let gratitude fill our hearts, and let the fragrance of new life fill every space we enter. May we offer all we have—not for the sake of appearance or reward, but because we have been made alive. Christ has called us forth, unbound us, and given us his own life. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, and my daughters, and 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... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.

John 12 - James Woosley - Sunday Morning, August 9, 2026 by First Baptist Church of Hammond
24 Amen, amen I say to you, unless the grain of wheat falling into the ground die,Amen, amen dico vobis, nisi granum frumenti cadens in terram, mortuum fuerit, 25 Itself remaineth alone. But if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, keepeth it unto life eternal.ipsum solum manet : si autem mortuum fuerit, multum fructum affert. Qui amat animam suam, perdet eam; et qui odit animam suam in hoc mundo, in vitam aeternam custodit eam. 26 If any man minister to me, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall my minister be. If any man minister to me, him will my Father honour.Si quis mihi ministrat, me sequatur, et ubi sum ego, illic et minister meus erit. Si quis mihi ministraverit, honorificabit eum Pater meus.St Lawrence was a deacon, Pope and Martyr. The prefect of Rome arrested him. He distributed the possessions of the Church to the poor to save them from confiscation. He was roasted to death on a gridiron in 258, A.D.
Feast of Saint Lawrence, Deacon and MartyrJohn 12:24-26"Whoever loves his life loses it,and whoever hates his life in this worldwill preserve it for eternal life.Whoever serves me must follow me,and where I am, there also will my servant be.The Father will honor whoever serves me.”
Title: I Will Glorify My NamePreacher: Denny BurkSeries: JohnPassage: John 12:27-50
When Jesus rides into Jerusalem on a donkey, he isn't just fulfilling a single prediction from Zechariah. He's taking up a promise made to Judah on Jacob's deathbed—a scepter, a roused lion, and a donkey tethered to his brother Joseph's vine—that has been waiting centuries for Israel's two divided kingdoms to become one again. David and Christine trace donkeys and vines from Genesis 49 to a strangely well-behaved lion in 1 Kings 13. They talk about brothers, exile, and the good news that the oldest rift in Israel is finally healed in the grave of a resurrected King.

Our chapter begins in a home in Bethany of Judea just before the Passover celebration takes place in Jerusalem. Jesus is there with Lazarus, Martha, and Mary, the latter of which washes the feet of Jesus with expensive perfume and with her hair, a decidedly lavish and humble act. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, the chief priests plot to kill Lazarus because he is evidence of Christ's power and authority. Later, Jesus enters Jerusalem with great fanfare as the crowds greet him with excitement and anticipation. While Jesus prophecies of his coming execution, God the Father speaks to Jesus audibly so that the crowd might hear. Our reading concludes with a summary of Jesus' mission. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Title: A Different KingdomBig Idea: God's kingdom advances through service, sacrifice, & surrender not clutching, clobbering & controlling.
John 12:20-36 • Death is the Way to Life (7/19/26) Jared Thomsen
The way to life is through the cross.
This sermon on John 12:1–11 explores Mary's extravagant act of anointing Jesus with costly perfume as a powerful model of true worship. Contrasting Mary's wholehearted devotion with Judas' hypocrisy, the message teaches that genuine worship flows from a heart transformed by gratitude for Christ's saving grace rather than from outward religious actions alone. The sermon emphasizes that understanding the depth of God's forgiveness naturally produces thankfulness, generous sacrifice, and a willingness to worship without concern for cultural expectations or personal reputation. Using examples throughout Scripture, it explains that authentic worship is marked by gratitude, heartfelt devotion, and a life fully surrendered to Christ, extending far beyond singing in church to every aspect of daily living. Believers are challenged to reject empty religiosity, embrace an intimate relationship with Jesus, and live as a “sweet aroma” of Christ wherever they go, recognizing that every action can glorify God. Ultimately, the message concludes that worship is not merely an event or a song but a lifestyle, calling Christians to offer their entire lives as living sacrifices in response to the overwhelming mercy, love, and grace they have received through Jesus Christ.
“Deity of Christ” believers have claimed that Isaiah saw Jesus, the “second person of the Godhead”, in Isaiah's vision of God recorded in Isaiah 6. The deity-of-Christ claim is that when John wrote, “Isaiah said this because he saw his glory and spoke of him” (John 12:41) that when Isaiah saw God sitting on his throne in a vision, Isaiah saw Jesus.Did the prophet Isaiah, who claimed the God of Israel was the Father, claim to have seen God the Son and his glory?Or, was John claiming that "his glory" which Isaiah prophetically saw was the glory of the Servant of YHVH God?Resources: Written text of this podcast: https://landandbible.blogspot.com/2026/07/john-1237-45-john-does-not-claim-that.htmlBill Schlegel One God Report: https://www.youtube.com/@billschlegel1The Trinity is NOT Biblical: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1VuvKEyB0gDeity of Christ Interpretations of Scripture Dishonor Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2VOKEvGqAwWhat About John 1?

Six days before Passover, as all Jerusalem prepares lambs for slaughter, Mary pours out a pound of costly perfume over Jesus' feet at a dinner in the slum of Bethany, and the whole house fills with its fragrance. In this single extravagant act, Jesus is revealed as the Passover lamb, the consecrated priest, the anointed King, and the Bridegroom on his way to the grave. David and Christine walk through Jesus' anointing in John 12, tracing how Mary's offering prepares the body of Life himself to carry the aroma of resurrection down into the tomb.

Why do people ignore what they know is true?We all do it. We know what we should do, but something keeps us from taking the next step.Pastor Doug teaches through John 12:37-50, we'll discover why information alone doesn't change us, how our hearts can slowly become hardened, and how genuine faith can bring freedom, purpose, and direction to everyday life.
This episode originally aired on August 29, 2022. We've learned more about Jesus in John 12:37-15:17, but if we don't do something with it, then it hasn't really been helpful information. Ken and Mike discuss different ways that will help you put into practice what we've been learning about and from Jesus. This includes what it means to be a servant leader; how we know if a teaching is from the Holy Spirit; and further insight we can gain from Jesus' metaphor drawn from viticulture. The discussion is practical and offers tangible ways for someone to start implementing these practices into their life today.Support the show

Death Leads to Life: The Way of Jesus – John 12:27–50 In Episode 143 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane explore the closing section of John 12, where Jesus begins preparing His followers for the reality of the cross. Through His powerful teaching about the grain of wheat that must die to produce life, Jesus reveals a kingdom principle that changes everything: death leads to life. Together, they unpack what it means to surrender our own plans, ambitions, and desires so that God can produce something greater through us. As Jesus calls people out of darkness and into His light, this passage challenges us to consider where we are resisting surrender and where God may be inviting us into deeper trust. This conversation is a reminder that what feels like loss in God's hands often becomes the very place where new life begins. What is God asking me to surrender today so that He can bring greater life through it tomorrow? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams
A Fragrant Offering: Worship, Surrender, and the Anointing Oil – John 12:1–27 In Episode 142 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane explore John 12:1–27, where Mary pours out costly perfume at the feet of Jesus in one of the most beautiful acts of worship found in Scripture. While others questioned her sacrifice, Jesus honored her devotion, revealing a heart fully surrendered to Him. Together, they unpack the significance of the anointing oil, the contrast between worship and criticism, and what it means to offer Jesus our very best. As the chapter unfolds, Jesus begins preparing His followers for the cross, teaching that true life is found through surrender and sacrifice. This conversation invites listeners to consider what they are holding back from God and challenges us to move beyond convenient faith into wholehearted worship. What is Jesus inviting me to pour out at His feet as an act of worship and surrender? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams
