Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to David Sindelar from Roswell, GA. David, your partnership with us through Project23 is helping open ears and loosen tongues with the truth of the gospel. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 7:31-37: Then he returned from the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, in the region of the Decapolis. And they brought to him a man who was deaf and had a speech impediment, and they begged him to lay his hand on him. And taking him aside from the crowd privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and after spitting touched his tongue. And looking up to heaven, he sighed and said to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened.” And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly. And Jesus charged them to tell no one. But the more he charged them, the more zealously they proclaimed it. And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”— Mark 7:31-37 Jesus returns to the Decapolis—Gentile territory again. This time, a man is brought to him. He's deaf and mostly mute. And the people beg Jesus to lay his hand on him. What happens next is strange—and intimate. Jesus pulls him away from the crowd. He touches his ears. He touches his tongue. He looks up and sighs deeply. Then he speaks a single word: “Ephphatha”—Be opened. A word that the man didn't even hear and couldn't speak opened his ears and loosened his mouth. In an instant, everything changes. The man hears. The man speaks. His world expands from silence to sound. From isolation to community. This miracle isn't just about healing—it's about how Jesus heals. He doesn't heal from a distance. He gets close. He touches. He sighs. It's personal. It's intentional. And it's full of compassion. And the crowd? They can't stop talking: “He has done all things well.” That's still true. Jesus still does all things well. He doesn't just fix what's broken—he restores what's been lost. And he can do that in your life, too. Maybe your ears aren't physically shut today, but maybe you've shut your ears to the sound of God's voice. Maybe your mouth still works, but you've been silent when you should speak. Let Jesus touch those places. Let him open what's been shut. Let him loosen what's been stuck. Let him restore what's been silenced. Let him come close and touch you spiritually. Hear him say, "Be opened." Because when Jesus speaks “Be opened” over your life, you will never be the same. #BeOpened, #JesusHealsDeeply, #AllThingsWell ASK THIS: What part of my life feels spiritually “deaf” or “mute”? Where do I need Jesus to get personal with my pain? What have I been too afraid to speak aloud? Do I truly believe Jesus still does all things well? DO THIS: Take 10 minutes alone today and ask Jesus to touch the part of your life that feels shut down or stuck. PRAY THIS: Jesus, open the parts of me that have gone silent. Touch what I've hidden, and restore me to wholeness with your gentle power. Amen. PLAY THIS: “Same God” – Elevation Worship.

Lazarus has died, and his family went through the entire process of burying him. In the midst of their grief, Jesus tells the disciples that He is glad that He wasn't there to stop Lazarus from getting sick and dying. NOW was the time for Jesus to strengthen their faith! When facing a Lazarus situation, the enemy will try to cloud your mind with emotions and thoughts that God could have stopped it. But what if we peel back those emotions and thoughts, and receive Jesus's red letters for the truth that they are? What if God needs our faith strengthened for what is to come? If Jesus hadn't resurrected Lazarus, would the disciples and Mary and Martha believed that Jesus would resurrect after His crucifixion?   Monologue: Autumn shares advice she was asked for by a young man about raising children.    Message: Autumn visits the red letters of Jesus when Lazarus died in John 11.     Testimony: A listener shares how God clearly orchestrated their last baby for them.   Bible References John 11:1-12; 2   Links from the show BOOKS: www.autumnmiles.com/resources SPEAKING: www.autumnmiles.com/speaking MERCH: autumnmiles.square.site   Sponsors: NuWell Online Christian Counseling https://nuwellonline.com/ Purpose Jewelry https://purposejewelry.org code AUTUMN2024   If you have a suggestion for the ministry, a question for Autumn, a testimony to share, or other inquiry for the Autumn Miles Ministries, click here and fill out the form, or send us an email at hello@autumnmiles.com    Join us on social media!

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Bob & Shannon Maxiner from Lake Elmo, MN. Thank you for partnering with us through Project23. Your support reminds us that Jesus is always more than enough. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 6:35-44: And when it grew late, his disciples came to him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is now late. Send them away to go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.” But he answered them, “You give them something to eat.” And they said to him, “Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give it to them to eat?” And he said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” And when they had found out, they said, “Five, and two fish.” Then he commanded them all to sit down in groups on the green grass. So they sat down in groups, by hundreds and by fifties. And taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing and broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the people. And he divided the two fish among them all. And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish. And those who ate the loaves were five thousand men. — Mark 6:35-44 The sun was setting. The crowd was huge. And the disciples were doing the math. After a few quick calculations, they concluded that there was not enough. Enough time. Enough money. Enough food. It's a rational thought about the necessary rations. Five thousand men, not counting women and children. In a remote location. But Jesus challenges their rational logic with a divine line: “You give them something to eat.” And their scarcity mentality kicks in. “Are we supposed to spend two hundred denarii on bread?” “We only have five loaves and two fish.” The disciples only perceived natural impossibilities. Jesus perceived spiritual possibilities. Scarcity sees lack—but faith sees the Lord. Jesus tells them to organize the crowd. He blesses the bread. He breaks the fish. What wasn't enough in their hands becomes more than enough in his. “And they all ate and were satisfied.” Every need was met. No one went hungry. It cost nothing. They traveled nowhere. And there were twelve baskets of leftovers. This is what happens when we surrender scarcity to the Savior. Too many believers live day-by-day with a scarcity mentality. Not enough time. Not enough talent. Not enough experience. Not enough influence. Not enough faith. And so we play it safe. We hold back. We tell Jesus to “send them/it away.” However, Jesus never operates from a place of scarcity or lack. He's not concerned about how much you have—he's asking if you'll have faith, bring what you have, and give it to him. Because what feels insufficient to us becomes sufficient in Jesus's hands. So stop living with a scarcity mentality. Live by faith. Bring what you have. Let Jesus multiply and make it more than enough. ASK THIS: Why do you think the disciples focused on what they didn't have? What does this story teach us about God's provision? Where are you tempted to say, “It's not enough”? What would it look like to trust Jesus with that area today? DO THIS: Identify one area where you've been operating from a scarcity mindset. Write it down, bring it to Jesus in prayer, and trust Him to do more than you can see. PRAY THIS: Jesus, I confess I've been focused on what I lack. Today I choose to bring what I have to you. Help me trust that your hands are better than mine. Amen. PLAY THIS: "More Than Able" by Elevation Worship

Let There Be Light on the Darkness of Shame | John Burns

• Some things grow in the dark — but shame shouldn't be one of them. In this vulnerable and powerful message, John Burns shares how shame becomes a stronghold when left unexposed, but how Jesus brings healing when we bring our shame into the light. “Let there be light on the darkness of shame” is more than a theme — it's a spiritual invitation to uncover what we've tried to hide and let God lovingly cover it with His truth. “Guilt says, ‘I made a mistake.' But shame says, ‘I am a mistake.'” “Jesus didn't just take your sin—He took your shame, and He scorned it.” Using the stories of Adam and Eve, the woman at the well, and Jesus' own suffering, John lays out three ways God brings healing from shame: • Through a relationship with Jesus Christ, who “knows everything about you and still loves you” • Through the Word of God, which “shines truth on the lies shame tells you” • Through loving relationships with other believers, where “love covers over a multitude of sins” “Don't come to Teen Challenge and cover your shame with fig leaves.” “Let Jesus love your shame and bring healing to the wounds you've carried too long.” Shame thrives in secrecy. But God has given you a new identity in Christ. You are not your addiction. You are not your failure. You are not your past. “Anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame.” (Romans 10:11)

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. And today's shout-out goes to John & Cindy Brannum from Sioux Falls, SD. John & Cindy, thank you for standing with us through Project23. Your support helps deliver the Word where it's needed most. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 5:6-13: And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and fell down before him. And crying out with a loud voice, he said, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me.” For he was saying to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!” And Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” He replied, “My name is Legion, for we are many.” And he begged him earnestly not to send them out of the country. Now a great herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside, and they begged him, saying, “Send us to the pigs; let us enter them.” So he gave them permission. And the unclean spirits came out and entered the pigs; and the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the sea. — Mark 5:6-13 Jesus steps onto the shore, and the man possessed by demons does something shocking—he runs toward Jesus. But as soon as he gets close, the demons take over. They fall. They scream. They beg for mercy. This is how evil responds to the holy—it bows in the presence of God. There's no battle. No contest. This isn't two equal forces clashing—it's total authority confronting total darkness. Jesus commands the spirit to come out. Then he asks for the demon's identity: “What is your name?” The answer is chilling: “My name is Legion, for we are many.” Literally—thousands of demons. And still, Jesus doesn't flinch, falter, or fear. It's as if he's handled situations like this a hundred times before. Then Legion pleads with Jesus. He begs for mercy—because they know they've encountered the all-powerful God, something even the disciples have yet to fully understand. They plead for dispersion rather than destruction. They beg Jesus to send them into a field of swine. There are all kinds of theories about why the pigs—but the simplest answer is this: The time for complete demonic defeat had not yet come. Jesus's mission was first to redeem mankind from the bondage of sin—before destroying evil entirely. So, Legion is cast into the pigs. And the entire herd rushes down the hillside and drowns in the sea. I believe many people today feel overwhelmed by darkness—whether internal or external. And too often, we try to manage it, medicate it, or manipulate it. But Jesus doesn't ask us to control the darkness. He asks us to surrender it—so He can confront it. If Jesus can cast out thousands of demons with a single word, he can confront the darkness you face today. So stop trying to manage the situation. Let Jesus confront it. Let him remove it. And let him cast it far from you—deep into the sea. #JesusOverDarkness, #Mark5, #SpiritualWarfare ASK THIS: Where do you feel darkness creeping into your life? Are you trying to manage what Jesus wants to remove? What does Legion's response reveal about Jesus' authority? How can you invite Jesus to confront your hidden struggles? DO THIS: Identify one area of darkness you've tried to manage and surrender it to Jesus in prayer today. PRAY THIS: Jesus, I confess the darkness I've tried to manage alone. I surrender it to You—cast it out and replace it with Your peace. Amen. PLAY THIS: “Break Every Chain” by Jesus Culture.

What Kind of Soil Is Your Heart? | Mark 4:1–9

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. And here is a shout-out today to Ben Gandy from Hugo, MN. Ben, thank you for being part of Project23. Because of your faithfulness, we get to plant the Word of God in more lives every day. This one's for you. Today, we're looking at Mark 4:1-9: Again he began to teach beside the sea. And a very large crowd gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat in it on the sea, and the whole crowd was beside the sea on the land. And he was teaching them many things in parables, and in his teaching he said to them: “Listen! Behold, a sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it. Other seed fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil, and immediately it sprang up, since it had no depth of soil. And when the sun rose, it was scorched, and since it had no root, it withered away. Other seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no grain. And other seeds fell into good soil and produced grain, growing up and increasing and yielding thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.” And he said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”— Mark 4:1-9 Jesus sits in a boat, teaching a crowd so large He has to back away from shore to be seen and heard. He launches into a story—a parable—that has echoed across history: A sower went out to sow. Some seeds land on the path. Some seeds hit the rocky ground. Some seeds fall among thorns. Some seeds land on good soil—and multiply. It's simple imagery, but Jesus isn't giving a farming lesson. He's giving a heart lesson. And this isn't a story merely about the Sower—or even the Seed. It's a story about the soil. Jesus is spading the soil of the heart of all mankind, asking: What kind of soil is your heart? Is it hard and unreceptive, like the path? Shallow and emotionally reactive, like the rocky ground? Distracted and overgrown with worry, like the thorns? Or soft and ready—like the good soil that produces lasting fruit? You see, the Seed is always good. The Word of God never fails. But the condition of the heart determines the harvest. And here's the good news of this parable: the soil of your heart doesn't have to be fixed in the hardened state. It can be plowed. Broken up. Prepared again. So if your heart's been hardened by disappointment… Or shallow from busyness… Or choked by distraction… Let Jesus work your soil. Let his pick axe, plow, and grader work on your heart. Soften it to him and let him produce results in and through you. Today—don't just hear the Word. Listen to it by changing your heart to him. #HeartCheck, #GoodSoil, #ParableOfTheSower ASK THIS: Which type of soil best describes your heart right now? What has hardened, distracted, or shallowly rooted your spiritual growth? Are you actively allowing God to break up and prepare your heart? What fruit have you seen when you've responded with a soft heart? DO THIS: Ask God to reveal one area of your heart that needs softening—and surrender it to him today. PRAY THIS: Father, break up the hard places in my heart and prepare me to receive your Word. Help me listen with surrender and grow lasting fruit through your Spirit. Amen. PLAY THIS: Word of God Speak.

178: Navigating AI with Wisdom and Faith"If you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally andwithout reproach, and it will be given to him." — James 1:5 (NKJV)Artificial Intelligence may seem like a futuristic tool, but it's here andnow—scheduling our lives, answering questions, even writing ourpapers! But here's the truth: Jesus isn't outdated in a tech-drivenworld. He's not intimidated by innovation—He is the Creator of allwisdom. The question isn't “Should we use AI?” but “How do weengage AI with a heart that still seeks Jesus first?” Faith andtechnology can co-exist—but only when we invite the Holy Spirit toguide our soul and spirit.Three Key Points1. Wisdom is the Filter- Just because it's fast doesn't mean it's right. AI delivers info, butJesus offers truth.- Discernment is your secret weapon—ask the Holy Spirit to help youknow what to keep and cancel.- Proverbs 3:6 — “In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He willdirect your path.”2. God Can Use Anything—Even AI- AI can help spread the Gospel, organize your life, or even write asermon—but it's still a tool, not the Source.- Think of it like a hammer: It builds, but only in the hands of theBuilder.- Romans 8:28 reminds us that “All things work together for good...”—yes, even ChatGPT!

Bible Reading: Hebrews 12:1-2Casey was sitting on the edge of the deck, shoving a pointy stick into the muddy spring earth, when Grandpa sat down next to him."Hey, buddy. You've been quiet ever since your parents dropped you off to take your little brother to the hospital. Anything you want to talk about?" Grandpa asked.Casey thrust the stick harder into the ground, sending the sticky mud splattering onto his feet. "It's all my fault. It was my idea to race our bikes down the hill. And I was the one who teased him for not wanting to go faster. He wouldn't have broken his arm if it wasn't for me." Casey leaned into Grandpa's arm and sniffled. "I'm always doing stuff like that--teasing him and trying to get him to do things I know I shouldn't. I--I'm a horrible person!" Casey buried his face in Grandpa's chest and let his tears fall freely.Grandpa put his arm around Casey's small shoulders. "Casey, I know you feel bad, but that doesn't mean you are bad."Casey lifted his head and looked at Grandpa. "What do you mean?""When we make poor choices, we know it's sin and that we need forgiveness. But we also have to be careful not to allow shame to sneak in and tell us that we're bad. Look at that stick you're holding. It's got mud on it, but it's still a stick, right?""Well, yeah. Of course.""Well, shame tries to convince the stick that it's all mud. But it's not. It just needs someone to clean the mud off.""So if I'm like the stick, then I just need someone to wash my mud away?" A smile came to Casey's face. "You mean Jesus, right?""You got it," said Grandpa. "Jesus took the guilt and shame of our sin on Himself when He died on the cross. He washes us clean and makes us right with God. Because you trust in Jesus, that's who you really are--a child of God whose sins have been washed away. Shame has no place in your life. When you feel bad about something, confess your sin to Jesus and He will forgive you. He died to take your shame off you so you could enjoy a new life with Him."–Tannis Oliveri How About You?Do you feel bad about something you did? Is it sticking to your heart like mud, making you feel dirty? Let Jesus wash the sticky mud of shame off you and remind you who you really are. Once you know Him as your Savior, sin and shame no longer have any claim on you. Confess what you did to Him, knowing He will always forgive you.

Jesus Is The Good ShepherdMain Text: John 10:11-16, 19-21Key Points:Jesus Is the Good ShepherdHe lays down His life for the sheep, unlike a hired hand who abandons them (John 10:11-12).He knows His sheep personally, and they know His voice (John 10:14).His role was foretold in Ezekiel 34—God Himself promised to shepherd His people.Recognizing the Shepherd's VoiceTo hear and follow Jesus, we must spend time in God's Word.Distractions keep us from hearing God clearly.Without His voice, we are vulnerable to pitfalls:Wandering → Isolation and lost direction.Going in circles → Repeating the same struggles.Falling in ditches → Getting trapped in sin.Chasing greener pastures → Seeking fulfillment in the wrong places.We Are Called to Follow and ShepherdSubmission to Authority → We are to follow Jesus first and trust godly leaders.Being an Undershepherd → Parents, mentors, and believers care for others spiritually.Staying with the Flock → Isolation breeds deception; community brings clarity.Watching for Wolves → False teachers deceive and divide (Matthew 7:15).Final ChallengeAre you tired of wandering? Being deceived? Falling into the same traps?Let Jesus lead you—His rod and staff will comfort, protect, and guide you.

“Let the power of the Holy Ghost fall on me.” From the opening notes of the message to the final amen, Pastor Ron Brown delivers a Spirit-filled message that calls pastors, leaders, and believers to be thoroughly equipped by God's Word for every good work. With wisdom forged in faith and a powerful personal story, Pastor Ron takes us deep into 2 Timothy 3:16–17, reminding us that Scripture is not optional—it is essential. It teaches. It rebukes. It corrects. It trains. And it equips us for awe-inspiring, Kingdom-advancing work. “If we don't dig up the roots, we'll never see the harvest.” “All Scripture is God-breathed—it doesn't need to be rewritten; it needs to be re-read.” “Let Jesus fix it. You don't have to do this in your own strength.” Whether you're weary from ministry, needing course correction, or simply longing for a fresh touch from God—this message will stir your soul, restore your focus, and rekindle your awe and wonder at the goodness of God. Don't lose the wonder. Don't settle for shallow. Get back to the Word, let Jesus dig deep, and step into the harvest He's prepared. Watch, be renewed, and let the Holy Spirit thoroughly equip you for every good work.

Stopped By a Storm - #9946

A Word With You

Every New York television station you turned to had the same bold graphic, "Blizzard of '96." I still remember it. It was barely 1996; we were only six days into the new year when anywhere between 20-30 inches of snow unloaded on the Metropolitan New York area. It was like a mega-ton snow bomb hit the area, and it literally drove the Big Apple to its knees. This is a city that doesn't shut down...except for a monster storm like this. The schools were closed for an almost unprecedented two days. City workers were told not to come in and bridges to the city were closed. Some of the busiest streets in the world were bare except for an occasional snow plow or emergency vehicle that went by. The trains couldn't make it because snow had choked the tracks. Major sporting events? They were impossible. I had never seen New York like that. The city that never stops had been stopped. I'm Ron Hutchcraft, and I want to have A Word With You today about "Stopped by a Storm." Our word for today from the Word of God comes from Acts 9. It's really from the life of a very goal-oriented high-achiever on his way to a major conquest. His name is Saul. This is a man, sort of like New York, who couldn't be stopped. The brightest young religious leader of his time, but deeply angered by the heresy of the new followers of a man named Jesus. Well, Saul's on his way to take care of the problem. The man who never stopped was stopped that day by a sudden storm. Verse 3 begins by saying this, "As Saul neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, 'Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?' 'Who are you, Lord?' Saul asked. 'I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,' he replied." Well suddenly this hard driver could drive no farther. He was knocked from his horse, he's down on the ground, and he was unable to see. Perhaps you're kind of a Saul or a Saulina (whatever the female version is). You've been running full speed. You've gotten a lot done. You're competent, you're gifted, you're doing pretty well, and you're moving too fast to think about getting right with your Creator. Oh, you've got some religious credentials maybe but there's no doubt who's really God in your life. Your god's the one who's running your life? That would be you. And suddenly there's been this heavy storm. Maybe you've been hit with something medical or financial, or your family is in a crisis or someone you love is gone or you found yourself out of work, out of money, out of hope. Sometimes a struggling son or daughter knocks us off our horse. Whatever the storm, would you allow me to suggest a reason it might be happening? For the same reason it happened to Saul, so you would finally be able to hear the voice of Jesus - Jesus who created you. Jesus, against whom we've rebelled as we've run our life our way, not His way. Jesus, who is the only one who loved you enough to die for you; to pay the death penalty for sin that you deserved to pay. Jesus, the one who has been knocking gently on the door of your heart for a long time, but you've always been on your way somewhere else until now. And the storm has stopped you so you could finally meet your Savior. He's calling your name today just like He did Saul's that day. And He says, "I am Jesus." That day Saul surrendered his life to the Son of God. Maybe this day you will. Maybe it's time to say, "Lord, I've run it long enough. I need a Savior from my sin. I'm yours Jesus." This storm that seems to be blowing you off course is really bringing you home. So, I want to invite you to go to our website, and I'll walk you through there the way you can be sure you have begun your personal relationship with the One who loves you the most. Just go to ANewStory.com. Let Jesus step into your storm and say what He did to a storm with His disciples so many years ago, "Peace be still." And it was calm.
