In this episode, Brian Miller and Chad Hall revisit Matthew chapters 8 and 9 to explore the escalating revelation of Jesus' authority—from healing a leper and a centurion's servant to calming a storm and forgiving sins. They trace how each miracle expands the borders of inclusion, challenges human expectations, and demonstrates that nothing—disease, distance, nature, or even sin—can stand outside Jesus' transforming reach. The conversation turns deeply practical for Christian coaches, connecting forgiveness and reconciliation to the heart of transformational coaching. Key Highlights Inclusion as the heartbeat of the Kingdom. Jesus' first acts after the Sermon on the Mount—healing a leper and a Roman centurion's servant—reveal a radical openness that shocks religious boundaries. Escalating power and presence. Each story shows Jesus' authority expanding: from physical healing to calming creation to resolving the cosmic issue of sin. Opting out vs. opting in. Many reject Jesus not because He excludes them, but because inclusion offends their control, comfort, or sense of superiority. Forgiveness as spiritual power. Forgiving sins wasn't symbolic—it was a cataclysmic act that disrupted religious structures and revealed divine reconciliation. Coaching connection. Like Jesus, coaches help others see what's hidden beneath the surface—often an invisible need for forgiveness or reconciliation that keeps clients stuck. Takeaways Transformation begins with inclusion. God's kingdom reaches the excluded first—and invites everyone willing to step in. Forgiveness is deeper than fixing. In both faith and coaching, lasting change often starts with releasing resentment or guilt. Don't fear the storm. Growth requires following Jesus into chaos—where peace and clarity emerge. Invisible forces matter. Emotional and spiritual "black holes" like unforgiveness bend everything around them until they're addressed. Coaching is kingdom work. Helping clients reconcile—to God, themselves, and others—is a sacred act of restoration, not just problem-solving.

Do non-Christians see Jesus, or politics, when they look at us? Tasha Heath doesn't identify as a Christian but has been around the church her whole life. She also worked inside party politics and saw enough behind-the-scenes behavior to step back. From the outside, her read is simple: basic kindness and steady presence change more than ballots and online fights ever will. Craig and Tasha ask the hard question: how do non-Christians perceive Christians, and is our politics-first posture helping or hurting the gospel? They dig into hypocrisy, homelessness, prisons, and why the church must find a way to look like Jesus, not the state.  They dig into: Optics of church vs. state and public witness. From activism to opting out & local care. Teens, algorithms, and outrage-discipleship. Prisons, plant “crimes,” and decriminalization. Early church imagination vs. modern nationalism.

Raj Prakash Paul || The Lord's Church India

Praise the Lord, O my soul. I will praise the Lord as long as I live (Psalm 146:1-2). Amen.Racine – in southeastern Wisconsin, where we recently moved from – has already received 13 inches of snow, causing travel issues, school closures, and buried cars. Then Racine warmed up and had rain. Now they're experiencing single digit, and even negative, temperatures to freeze all that rain and melted snow to create even more dangerous conditions.That's way east of us. How about north and south of us? Up to 2 feet of snow is expected in Yellowstone National Park this week. The Snowy Range has already received 75 inches of snow in 40 hours!Yet here we are in Casper, enjoying 50-degree weather for several days in a row. We've also had several days of 50 plus mph winds. Because everything is a contest, I may have rubbed it in to my friends back in Racine about our wonderful weather. I did admit that it was a tad breezy, though.Wyoming meteorologist, Don Day commented on this week's wind, "If it's windy, it's not going to be terribly cold. It's rare to have 50-degree days and no wind in winter. When it gets really cold, it doesn't get really windy. It's when we're in between cold snaps and warmups, that we have the worst winds." Day calls these "50-50 days." "When it's 50 degrees, you'll have 50 mph winds," he said. "If you don't like the wind, you better like the cold. That's just what it is to live in Wyoming." I don't know if you agree with him or not. He's the Wyoming meteorologist. You're the ones who've been living in Wyoming.Either way, you must admit this is pretty great weather for winter in the desert.The Sahara Desert is an "absolute desert" where almost no rain falls. Isaiah's original audience lived in a "tame desert" like here in Casper. In Israel, the rain is confined to the spring – March, April, and May. It's similar here, plus the snow in the winter. The Israelites lived in a physical desert.The Israelites also lived in a spiritual desert. The ten northern tribes of Israel were on the brink of destruction. The Assyrian army was about to overrun them. The people in the northern tribes would be carried into captivity to disappear from history.The two remaining southern tribes in Judah would be spared … but not for long. In a few generations, the Babylonians would move south to carry them into captivity in Babylon.Things looked bleak for Isaiah's audience. Things looked hopeless. Things looked desperate in the desert. The cities would be ghost towns. Their fields would be wastelands. Their people would be gone.God sent Isaiah as Israel's prophet because he wanted his people to understand why this was happening. It wasn't because God didn't love them. He did. He refused to watch them wallow in the filth of their sin any longer. He needed to show them how much they needed him. They needed a taste of his earthly discipline to repent and return. If they continued down their own way, they would experience God's eternal wrath.Do you feel like you're living in the desert? Not the physical desert of Casper or Wyoming. But the spiritual desert where your life appears bleak, dry, and dreary? Where it feels like God doesn't love you? If that's how you feel, I ask you, are you living in unrepentant sin? Are you confessing some sins while holding onto other sins? Are you going through the motions of Christianity while being passionate about other pursuits? Are you confessing one thing on Sunday morning but living out other things the rest of the week?Could your bleak, dry, and dreary life be brought on by yourself? God does not bless sin. He doesn't bless anything that pulls you away from his presence. Or could your spiritual desert be a result of God disciplining you like he did with Isaiah's audience?Like a good father, the Lord disciplines his children for their good. Jesus said, "I rebuke and discipline those whom I love. So take this seriously and repent" (Revelation 3:19). God uses discipline to lead us back to him. He lets us feel the pain of past mistakes. He permits us to stand in place surrounded by our shattered dreams and broken relationships. He lets us feel the misery of our own making. God does this to gain our attention. When we're lost in the desert, there's only one road that leads us to safety.Isaiah speaks of this road. "A highway will be there, a road that will be called the holy way. The impure will not walk there. It will be reserved for those who walk in that holy way. Wicked fools will not wander onto it. No lion will be there, nor will any ferocious animal go up on it. They will not be found there, but only the redeemed will walk there. Then those ransomed by the Lord will return. They will enter Zion with a joyful shout, and everlasting joy will crown their heads. Happiness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away" (Isaiah 35:8-10).Earlier this week, Austin Dirks was out hiking by himself in Arches National Park when he broke through what appeared to be solid ground. He got stuck at a 45-degree angle in quicksand. Thankfully, because Dirk is an experienced desert hiker, he had his satellite phone handy. He was rescued in the desert after 2 hours.Those in Isaiah's audience – and we in this audience – are stuck in something far worse than quicksand in the desert. We are stuck in a spiritual wasteland. Jesus our coming Messiah arrives to rescue us. He comes on the holy way that leads to Zion – the New Jerusalem – of the Christian Church. Our Messiah comes to us in Word and Sacraments to rescue, redeem, and lead us out of trouble into the safety of his Christian Church.Christ's way is a safe highway in the desert. There aren't any ferocious beasts on his highway. No lions in Israel. No coyotes, bears or mountain lions here. There won't be any wicked people or foolish people on this road. Unlike the semi drivers blown over on I-80 in 105 mph winds, clogging up traffic and putting everyone in danger. Everyone on Christ's highway knows where they're going. This road is reserved only for those who "walk in that holy way."This highway is only for the redeemed and ransomed. Those who were stuck and have been rescued. Those who were lost and have been found. Those who were trapped by the Devil and have been redeemed. Our Messiah traveled from the paradise of heaven into the desert of this world to rescue us. He brings us back on his highway.Brings us back to where? Christ rescues us from a bleak, dry, dreary desert to bring us into another desert. This is a very different desert. This is a desert that will be glad."The wilderness and the desert will be glad. The wasteland of the Arabah will rejoice and blossom like a crocus. It will bloom lavishly, and there will be great joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it. It will be excellent like Carmel and Sharon. They will see the glory of the Lord, the majesty of our God. … Then the eyes of the blind will be opened, and the ears of the deaf will be unplugged. The crippled will leap like a deer, and the tongue of the mute will sing for joy. Waters will flow in the wilderness, and streams in the wasteland. The burning sand will become a pool, and in the thirsty ground there will be springs of water. There will be grass, reeds, and rushes where the haunts of jackals once lay" (Isaiah 35:1-2, 5-7).Christ's ministry as the Messiah is prophesied in these verses. What a dramatic reversal this will be! The wilderness will be watered. The wasteland will blossom. The desert will be a lush green place. The blind, deaf, lame, and mute within the desert will also be changed. The blind will see. The deaf will hear. The mute will speak. The lame will leap. I believe even the color blind will see colors. Like Jesus told John's disciples, these are the signs that point to him as the Messiah (Matthew 11:2-6).But this isn't just a physical transformation that will take place. Jesus doesn't promise your surgically repaired knees, old bones, sore muscles, hearing-aided ears, and glasses-improved eyes will be returned to new right now. Isaiah is prophesying an even more miraculous transformation that will take place within the heart of every traveler on his holy desert highway.With your eyes, you look upon your Savior on the altar. With your ears you hear the voice of Jesus calling you in Scripture, sermons, and Bible studies. With your tongue you pray, praise, and give thanks. With your arms and legs, you fulfill your vocations as Christian parents and children, citizens and students.Isaiah encourages, "Strengthen the weak hands, and make the shaky knees steady. Tell those who have a fearful heart: Be strong. Do not be afraid. Look! Your God will come with vengeance. With God's own retribution, he will come and save you" (Isaiah 35:3-4).The author of Hebrews quotes these verses, "Therefore strengthen your weak hands and feeble knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated but rather healed" (Heb 12:12-13). The author's readers were being tempted to give up their faith because of persecution. He quotes Isaiah because there's an important message for those who are afraid of the Church's enemies.That important message is that our Messiah has come to rescue us. Jesus is no weak God or soft Man. He is the divine God-Man who flipped over tables and created enemies wherever he went. This is the Christ who comes with vengeance and divine retribution. Because we are followers of Christ, his enemies are our enemies. God wants us to stand strong in front of these enemies because these enemies won't be able to stand in front of him. God may use us as the arm of his vengeance. Get lean and in shape to be God's retribution. Strengthen your hands and knees so you are prepared to be God's vengeance when he calls you into battle. When we are strong in our hands and knees, we say with our Messiah, "They surrounded me, yes they surrounded me, but in the name of the Lord I cut them off" (Psalm 118:11).God's vengeance is the just punishment for sin. When God brings his judgment upon his enemies, that will also mean salvation for God's people. St. Paul writes, "Certainly, it is right for God to repay trouble to those who trouble you, and to give relief to you, who are troubled along with us. When the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his powerful angels, he will exercise vengeance in flaming fire on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. Such people will receive a just penalty: eternal destruction away from the presence of the Lord and from his glorious strength, on that day when he comes to be glorified among his saints, and to be marveled at among all those who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed" (2 Thessalonians 1:6-10).All this will happen in the desert. The landscape parched with idolatry and paganism will become well-watered and green with the worldwide preaching of Christ's gospel. All this happens with the imminent arrival of the Messiah.Fellow desert inhabitants, our situation in life may not change. After all, we are still living in the desert. Thank God that – at least for now – our desert weather is better than everyone else's weather. Our physical desert of Casper and Wyoming is beautiful. By the grace of God, with the arrival of Christ our Messiah, he makes our spiritual desert beautiful, too. It's a desert that will be glad. Amen.The Lord reigns forever. Your God, O Zion, rules for all generations. Praise the Lord (Psalm 146:10). Amen.View this sermon (with video and/or audio recording) on our website: https://www.casperwels.com/sermons/the-desert-will-be-glad/

As a Magnify community, we read "Personal Ministry: Sacred and Precious" by Bonnie D. Parkin, former Relief Society General President. In it she challenges each of us to identify our personal ministry and live each day finding opportunities to care for others as the Savior would. In this conversation, three women at very different stages of life, a widow and empty-nester, a mom of five kids ages 10 and under, and a young single adult, get personal and share what's in their hearts after reading Sister Parkin's address, and what it looks like for them to be on the Lord's divine errands and develop a deeper sense of personal ministry with the Lord. Sister Parkin said, "Most ministering opportunities are spontaneous, not planned in advance." The little things we do to share the light of Christ each day add up to make this world a better place and our daily efforts to care for each other the way Jesus would make a difference.

Matt teaches on the ultimate goal of maturity and who we can look to - Jesus - as the perfect example of complete maturity.

Philippians 2:1-8English Standard Version2 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, 2 complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/120325.cfmAdvent invites us to wait—not passively, but with trust. As Fr. Tyler Mentzer reflects on Psalm 23, “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want,” he reminds us that God's provision is never merely sufficient; it is abundant, verdant, and overflowing. In a world where we're tempted to grasp, control, or hurry, Advent teaches us to rest in the “fertile pastures” where the Good Shepherd gives us repose.Fr. Tyler shows how the Lord's generosity is revealed through Scripture: the prophecy of Isaiah, the miracles of Jesus, the multiplication of loaves, and the Eucharist—our “juicy, rich food” and “pure choice wine.” The Catechism teaches: “Hope is the confident expectation of divine blessing” (CCC 2090). Advent hope means trusting that God's timing is perfect, His providence lavish, and His guidance steady—even in the “dark valley.”Like Jesus in the desert and on the Cross, we are invited to wait on the Father rather than take matters into our own hands. The fruit of this waiting is abundance, courage, resurrection life, and the promise that we “shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”Watch the full homily on YouTube, DivineMercyPlus.org, the DM+ app, and wherever you get your podcasts.Deepen your Advent with exclusive Catholic content on the free, ad-free Divine Mercy Plus streaming platform.

In this episode, Martha and I returned to the "Front Porch" to revisit the days of "Coded Conversations." Like Jesus spoke in parables, our ancestors did the same. Languages have always been developed out of regional necessity to communicate. Each of our forebearers, who crossed the Atlantic and other routes spoke a primary language, but they had to adapt to each other in order to communicate. Their descendants (our ancestors) had to add to those dialects and parables in order to communicate and survive. We once embraced those coded languages - completely. What are your thoughts?

Luke 11:1-13

Jimmy Lann & Pastor Steve discuss last Sunday's message!

In this message, we explore one of the most misunderstood and transformative passages in Scripture: Ephesians 5–6. When Paul teaches believers to “submit to one another out of reverence for Christ,” he reveals a Gospel-centered blueprint for marriage, parenting, leadership, and everyday relationships. This teaching walks through how Jesus completely flips power dynamics, reshapes our view of authority, and calls both the strong and the weak into a new way of relating — a way modeled after His own humility and sacrificial love. You'll learn: • Why mutual submission was revolutionary in the ancient world • How the Gospel elevates your position before God and lowers your posture before others • What biblical submission actually is — and what it's not • How Christ-like love transforms marriages, families, and workplaces • Why humility and sacrifice create flourishing relationships Whether you're navigating marriage, parenting, friendships, or leadership, this message will challenge and encourage you to live out the Gospel in every relationship.

Generosity is part of following Jesus. Looking at 2 Corinthians 8–9, we see that generosity isn't about circumstances — it's an act of worship rooted in the Gospel. As we give faithfully and consistently, God uses our generosity to bless others, strengthen the church, and advance the mission of Jesus. This message calls us to be generous like Jesus and to step into the joy of giving.

How often have you been willing to use others for your advantage? How often have you tried to manipulate events and situations to benefit yourself? Without caring how it will impact others? It can be too easy to do this. The real test of faithfulness is doing something that might not be desirable or easy to do because it's the thing God wants you to do. Like Jesus did for us. Our character is tested when we do the right thing even when no one is looking. The faithfulness and character we display will point people to how beautiful our God is. Today's message will give us much to think about concerning faithfulness and character.Support the show

Message from Tim Kallam on November 16, 2025

Scripture - Luke 5:2-11Thank You for listening!Follow us on Facebook Instagram YouTube Website You can contact us at office@newcovenantaz.orgMaking Jesus Christ the Heart of Every Home.

Jesus was radical. Over the thousands of years people have studied, learned, and read about Jesus it feels that we have forgotten just how truly radical He was, and is! From His personal walk with the Father, to His intense focus on accomplishing the mission He came for, there are radical things we should be in awe of. One thing that we see in Jesus as his compassion. Intense, deep, gut turning moments for Him where He “should” have been focused on Himself, and yet we see Him care deeply for those around Him. Imagine if we had radical compassion like Jesus did in Matthew 9 as He saw the crowds and cared for them because His compassion was for their real condition. Join us this weekend as Greg Stier, the founder of Dare 2 Share Ministries shares with us about what it looks like to be Radical Like Jesus. -Pastor Ben Greg Stier Bio - Greg witnessed the Gospel radically transform his tough, inner‐city family before he reached adolescence, sparking his passion for evangelism. In 1991, as a young church planter, he founded Dare 2 Share to equip teens to reach their peers with the Gospel. Three decades later, millions of students have been trained and mobilized across the U.S. and around the world. Greg and his wife, Debbie, have been married for 35 years and have two adult children, Kailey and Jeremy, and Jeremy's wife, Kat. For this week's Scripture and notes: http://bible.com/events/49496623

A Christian ought to reflect the love of Jesus in all of their actions. Join us as we look to the parable of the good Samaritan to show us how this is manifested in the life of the believer. Luke 10:25-37

John Piper once said, “Life is war. That's not all it is. But it is always that.” As we conclude this series, we discover that following in the footsteps of Jesus means sometimes we need to step up and step in to the arena and fight. 

God is looking for people to use in his mission on earth, and it doesn't mean you have to have great talent, energy, or intelligence. In this message series, Pastor Rick teaches how God uses a committed heart set on following and becoming more like Jesus to accomplish his purpose.When you develop a heart that is more like Jesus, you do the things he did while he was here on earth. In this message, Pastor Rick teaches what Jesus did to give himself away for others and how following his example of self-sacrifice can change the world.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Friday morning, the 14th of November, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Book of Exodus 34:29: ”…Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone while he talked with Him.” Moses had just come down from Mt Sinai with the Ten Commandments. He had spent 40 days and 40 nights in the presence of our Heavenly Father, and his face was shining like the sun. Isn't that amazing? We go to Matthew 17:2: ”…and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.” That was Jesus, our Saviour, when He went up the Mount of Transfiguration. He shone like the sun when He met with His Heavenly Father. Folks, that can happen to you and me as well if we spend time with the Lord Jesus Christ, then we start to become more and more like Him. Moses had to wear a veil over his face. The people were too scared to come near Him because of the presence of God in His life. Surely that's how we should be as well. People should want to come and be with us because they see the love and the presence of God in our lives, not so much by the way we look, but rather by the way we act and live. You know, little children are very good judges of people who know God. They are drawn to people like that. I've seen them. They'll hang around and stand around and be close to people who spend time with God.I want to tell you about a man that made a big impression in my life when I was a new Christian, many many years ago. His name was Reverend Tom Parker and his dear wife, Gladys. They came all the way from Yorkshire, England and they became the ministers of the little church here in Greytown, one of the dearest men I think I've met in my life. He had a hard life. He was in the Second World War, serving on submarines. He never complained and was always gentle. He wasn't the greatest preacher that I've ever heard but he gave off the presence of Jesus wherever he went. I used to love just sitting, listening to him talking and he would get so caught up in the Holy Spirit, that you battled to follow him when he was preaching, but I want to tell you, he gave the presence of God wherever he went.You and I today as well, people just want the love of God and they are desperate to meet with the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.Today, let's be Jesus to them. God bless you and goodbye.

We did it! Together, we raised more than $215,000 to show the love of Jesus to our city: providing 10,000 meals, free haircuts, dental and medical services, family portraits, and shoes for kids. That's what it means to look like Jesus, to see needs around us and meet them with love. As we celebrate Thanksgiving Pickup Party this weekend, we're preparing our hearts as we turn to 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 to learn how to do the things Jesus would do and act the way Jesus would act. Because in order to look like Jesus, we have to love like Jesus—with patience, kindness, and compassion for a world that desperately needs Him.I. Do the Things Jesus Would Do  A.
