In our sermon series, The Life God Has Always Wanted For You, Pastor Levi Matteson talks about how God doesn't just give us rules—He gives us rhythms. And when we step into the rhythm of celebration, we discover what it really means to “Taste and see that the Lord is good.”: 1. Celebration is a discipline, 2. Learning to delight, 3. God's training plan: the festivals, 4. The Festivals and Their Fulfillment, 5. What the festivals show us, 6. Our rhythms today, and 7. The Invitation. This podcast episode is a Sunday message from Evangel Community Church, Houghton, Michigan, August 24, 2025.
In this devotional, Hannah Benson reminds us of a timeless truth: God sees you. Even when prayers seem unanswered, and our hearts feel weary, the Lord’s eyes are always on us. Through personal testimony and Scripture, Hannah shares how God gently reminded her of His presence in a moment of deep discouragement. Just as He revealed Himself to Hagar in the wilderness and heard Hannah’s cries in the temple, God is attentive to your life, your struggles, and your desires. Highlights God Sees You: Encouragement from Genesis 16:13 and the story of Hagar’s encounter with “El Roi.” When Prayers Feel Unanswered: Why God’s timing and responses—whether yes, no, or not yet—can still be trusted. Hannah’s Story: Biblical assurance that God hears and knows the desires of your heart. The Power of Obedience: How a simple note from a friend became a divine reminder of God’s care. Practical Encouragement: Be willing to follow the Spirit’s prompting—your act of obedience could be someone else’s answered prayer. Join the Conversation Have you ever had a moment where God reminded you that He sees you—maybe through Scripture, prayer, or even a word from a friend?

Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where we journey together through the Scriptures and let the Bible direct our hearts to the living Word of God. In today's episode, we find ourselves on August 18th, marking the 230th day in our year-long exploration of the Bible. Hunter, your Bible reading coach and host, guides us through powerful passages from Jeremiah 26, 35, and 36, and then into the profound hope of John chapter 20. As we listen, we encounter the steadfastness of God's Word in the face of persecution and rejection—watching as scrolls are burned yet rewritten, and promises reemerge with even greater depth. In John's Gospel, the resurrection story echoes this triumph over destruction: where flames and the cross cannot extinguish God's purposes or His living Word, Jesus. Join us for prayer, reflection, and encouragement as we seek to move from ashes to abundant life in Christ—a life that cannot be extinguished, no matter what trials may come. Settle in and let's warm our hearts by the fire of God's unending love, discover encouragement for the day ahead, and remember: you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: The Word cannot be extinguished. In Jeremiah, we see pages of God's Word set on fire by an evil king. The world may try to silence the truth, to sever its message, and to scatter its ashes—but the Word of God cannot be extinguished. The king slices the scroll and burns each section, thinking he can judge and end what God has spoken. But God's Word returns, and not just the same—this time, it comes back with much more. Even human defiance, the fiercest resistance, cannot put an end to what God is doing. Out of the ashes, God's Word emerges anew—rewritten, restored, reaffirmed. The prophet proclaims again what God will do. The king may burn the scroll, but he cannot burn the author or extinguish the purpose. And then, we turn to John's Gospel. We see the evil king, Satan, striving to put an end to God's Living Word, Jesus, by consigning him to the cross. Yet, just as with the scroll, the cross cannot stop God. In fact, it is at the cross that God's purpose is fulfilled most deeply. Jesus goes to the cross for us—to enter into the fire of judgment, the depths of death and darkness—for our sake. But neither the grave nor the flames of judgment can hold him. As Jeremiah's scroll was rewritten, so Jesus emerges from the tomb—the resurrection and the life. He becomes the firstfruits of all who will be brought into God's much more, the abundant life he promises. He consigned himself to the cross so that we might move beyond the ashes and into the new life—the much more life—found only in him. The invitation is to leave behind the fires of despair and enter into resurrection hope, to embrace the abundance that Jesus brings. That is the prayer for my own soul today: that I may step into the much more of life in Christ. It is the prayer for my family—for my wife, my daughters, my son. And it is the prayer 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.

If you keep having the same conflict with different people, it's not just them—it might be your beliefs. Your past experiences shape how you see trust, failure, loyalty—and those beliefs are either building or breaking your relationships. God wants to help you upgrade your lens so you stop repeating old patterns and start walking in relational wisdom. Stick around—this might be the conversation that finally explains why some relationships drain you… and how to stop letting them.

Welcome to Day 2694 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomDay 2694 – A Joyful Life - God is Light and Our Blight - 1 John 1:5-10Putnam Church Message – 08/10/2025Sermon Series: 1, 2, & 3 John“A Joyful Life – God's Light and Our Blight.” Last week, we explored “A Joyful Life - God is Life,” from 1 John 1:1-4, and we focused on Communion and Joy with God and each other.This week, we continue through the letter of 1 John, and we will cover 1 John 1:5-10 as we explore “God's Light and Our Blight.” Let's read 1 John 1:5-10 from the NIV, which is found on page 1899 of your Pew Bibles.Light and Darkness, Sin and Forgiveness5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 6 If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all[a] sin.8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.Opening PrayerAt some point in each of our lives, we transition from childhood to adulthood, from student to teacher, from mentee to mentor. Wisely, my parents had me wait a year after high school before entering college. I needed that extra year to mature and earn additional money. By God's grace and planning, it also allowed me to meet Paula in her first year; otherwise, God would have had to work out our meeting in another way. I remember when I was on my way out, heading to college for the first time, I knew that I would be on my own for the rest of my life. My parents did all they could to raise me right, to instill in me solid values, words of wisdom, and examples to follow. When I had to cross the threshold of the house that marked the moment of my transition from dependent child to independent adult, my parents knew that they had taught me the best they knew how, and now the decisions to continue walking in that knowledge were up to me.I may have been on my own physically, at least for a season—until I began to build my own family and emulate the wisdom and lessons my parents had taught me. But I wasn't on my own spiritually. The words and examples of my parents were always there, becoming increasingly relevant and meaningful as I faced my own real-life situations. As I continued to mature as an adult, I can't remember how many times the words of my mom or dad came back to me, and I thought, “That's what they meant!” They also left me a priceless spiritual legacy, introducing me to the Lord Jesus, a respect for God's Word, and a love for others, especially fellow believers.I imagine something similar happened with Jesus' original disciples. They continued to mature in their understanding of the faith after the Lord Jesus pushed His disciples out of the nest and sent...

Judges 14:1-15:20
Judges 14:1-15:20
How do you live a life that truly flourishes—not just financially, but in every area God cares about?Today, we're talking about how to live with purpose, peace, and wisdom by following God's design for life. Ron Blue joins us to unpack biblical principles that lead to flourishing, not through formulas, but through faithfulness.Ron Blue is the co-founder of Kingdom Advisors and the author of numerous books on biblical finance, most notably "Master Your Money: A Step-by-Step Plan for Experiencing Financial Contentment."Flourishing Begins with a Different FoundationAs followers of Christ, we're not simply aiming for a better life—we're called to a different one. A life that flourishes isn't measured by worldly success, but by alignment with God's design. When we understand that, everything changes.The life God created for each of us is unique. When we live according to His wisdom, we flourish—not because we have more, but because we are living as He intended. Flourishing means experiencing contentment that doesn't depend on circumstances. We don't need money to be content. We don't need approval to feel secure. Why? Because we are fully loved by the God who promises never to leave us or forsake us.Stewardship Is the Starting PointIf we want to flourish, we must begin with stewardship. Everything we have—our time, talents, relationships, money—comes from God. He owns it all. We're not owners; we're managers. When we recognize that, we stop living for ourselves and start using every resource for His glory. That includes how we spend, give, save, and even how we relate to others.Generosity Marks a Flourishing LifeA flourishing life is a generous life. When God's Word shapes us, we become generous with our time, with our finances, and with every resource entrusted to us. Generosity is not something we manufacture—it's a byproduct of spiritual transformation. And it runs counter to the culture around us, which tells us to hold tightly to what we have. Instead, we hold everything with open hands.We Live with IntegrityThe Bible speaks often about deceit and greed—two things that will always rob us of flourishing. When we live according to God's wisdom, we pursue integrity and honesty in every area of life. Proverbs offers constant guidance on living truthfully, avoiding dishonest gain, and practicing righteousness in our dealings. Flourishing is tied closely to living a life of character.We Live with PurposeWe're not here by accident. God placed us in this time and place for a reason. Our lives are temporary, but they're filled with eternal purpose. We're living today with heaven in view. Flourishing means recognizing that this life is preparation for eternity with our Lord. It means embracing the mission He's given us and making every decision with the long view in mind.When we step back and look at the big picture, we realize what a privilege it is to manage what God has entrusted to us. Stewardship isn't a burden—it's an invitation. An invitation to participate in His Kingdom work. An invitation to trust Him. An invitation to live a life that truly flourishes.Let's remember: God owns it all. We are stewards. And we get to use His resources for His glory. That is the foundation of a flourishing life.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm considering a 0% financing offer and could pay it off within 12 to 18 months—but I'm also able to pay the full amount upfront. Which option makes better financial sense?I'm planning to take paid maternity leave, but I don't intend to return to the company afterward. I'm struggling with whether this is the right thing to do and would love some guidance.My son and daughter-in-law recently sold a tiny house that we helped them build. They're returning the money we put into it—are there any tax implications or other issues we should be aware of?We're updating our kitchen by painting cabinets and making some interior improvements. We can pay it off in 6 to 12 months, but should we use a HELOC, take out a home equity loan, or borrow from our investment savings?I've heard that a trust can help avoid probate, but I have a testamentary trust, and the courthouse says my property will still go through probate. What's the difference?I'm exploring a dynasty trust to protect assets for future generations, and I'm also interested in a charitable remainder trust to help with capital gains taxes. Is there a way to combine these strategies effectively?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

For this episode, I felt called to have a heart-to-heart with y'all about something super important: realigning our priorities with God. I share my personal struggle with feeling burnt out and how I discovered that my reality didn't match up with the ideal priorities I wanted to live by. I take you through an exercise I did with my mentee where we each created a list of what our priorities should be versus what they actually are in our lives. Spoiler: the results were eye-opening and pretty convicting. I also dive into some personal stories about career choices and relationships to show why letting go and trusting God's plan can lead to greater things than we ever imagined. If you're feeling weighed down or out of sync with God, this episode is for you. Let's let go of our idols and realign our lives with what truly gives us life.

Feeling overlooked or pushed aside?Keri Eichberger shares a powerful reminder that being passed over by people doesn’t mean you’re passed over by God. Drawing from the story of Mordecai and insights from Kelly Minter, this devotional reveals how God’s perfect plan uses even the painful, unseen moments in our lives for His ultimate glory.
Cindi McMenamin reminds us that Jesus invites the weary and burdened to come to Him—and find rest. With wisdom from Matthew 11:28-30, she reveals how God’s “burden” isn’t about endless tasks but a call to love Him passionately, freeing us from anxiety and exhaustion.

If we're honest… most of us don't like being helped. Pride often gets in the way of receiving the help we desperately need. But in this message, we're reminded of two powerful truths: 1. We need God's help. 2.God loves to help those who love Him.

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 다시 피어나다| Healing, Aging & Doing Life God's Way — A Reflective Reunion with Ada Unigwe | Episode 13 (2025)We're still celebrating our milestone anniversary by reconnecting with some of the incredible voices from our past — and in this episode, I'm sitting down again with my dear friend, Ms. Ada Unigwe, first featured in our 2018 episode, “The Life of a Woman.” In this honest and heart-centered conversation, Ada reflects on the changes the past seven years have brought — from navigating premenopause and parenting with intention, to building a foundation of faith for her children. She shares how her views on love, legacy, and purpose have evolved, and why she now chooses alignment with God's will over chasing societal expectations. We also get honest about the silent struggles of African single moms in the diaspora, the stigma of divorce in African communities, and how faith has helped Ada reframe loss, rejection, and healing. Plus, she opens up about her dating journey, her decision to step back, and what it looks like to trust God one day at a time. If you're navigating heartbreak, solo parenting, or simply seeking encouragement in your faith journey, this episode is a poignant reminder: your story matters, with its scars, softness, strength, and all.
