We're not just a church. We're a Family.Our Vision is clear, simple, and unique. Our vision is Jesus in you. Our vision is for the people of God to have a faith that holds them. The kind of faith that vanquishes doubt, verifies identity, and voraciously contends for inner peace. A faith that removes the past, clarifies the present, and breathes life into the future. Our vision is the Kingdom of God built within the people of this obscure, yet mighty generation. A kingdom so great that its purpose destroys the common lack of self worth. A kingdom that sharpens the eyes, tenses the muscles, and readies itself for the battle against darkness. A Kingdom that brings purpose and healing to those who have failed more than succeeded, who are sinners more than saints, and who have known more pain than pleasure. Our vision is to challenge the weak and unproductive church of our day. To step beyond those who are religiously immature and search out those who for their love for Christ cannot be offended. Our hope is to raise warriors instead of those who think God only exists to keep bad things from happening. To raise those who know that following Christ means suffering loss yet gaining all things. Our vision is clear, simple, and unique…. It is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

For in Scripture it says: ‘See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame.' Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,' and, ‘A stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall.' They stumble because they disobey the message – which is also what they were destined for. But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul. Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us. Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human authority: whether to the emperor, as the supreme authority, or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right. For it is God's will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people. Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God's slaves. (1 Peter 2.6-16, NIV)

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. 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: Good day and welcome to the Daily Radio Bible. It's the 4th of February, day 35 in our journey through the scriptures, where together, with people from around the world, we seek to see Jesus and warm our hearts by the fire of God's love. Today, guest speaker Heather guides us through a contemplative exploration of Exodus chapters 37-38, Psalm 19, and Acts 11. As we delve into the intricate details of Bezalel's craftsmanship in constructing the tabernacle and explore the psalms' poetic proclamation of God's glory, we're reminded of the deeply personal and transformative work Christ is doing in our lives. Through prayer, we ask the Holy Spirit to illuminate the scriptures and guide us in fulfilling God's purpose. Join us as we reflect on the beauty of being a living stone in God's spiritual temple and find encouragement in the reality of Christ's masterpiece, which includes us all. Let the joy of the Lord be your strength, for you are loved. Be sure to like, share, and subscribe to stay connected with our daily reflections. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Bezalel, this master craftsman mentioned here in Exodus, has been tasked by Moses to build this tabernacle. This tabernacle is a shadow, a copy of a temple that is in heaven. Bezalel's name even means in the shadow of God. The shadow that he lives under is another craftsman. Someone far greater than Bezalel, and his name is Jesus. Jesus is a far better Bezalel, and he is making things too. He is making a temple, and he is doing it with the most precious materials. Bezalel used silver and gold and bronze and precious stones, but Jesus is using something even more valuable. He is using people. People like you and me. We are the temple of God. We are carefully being fit together. Placed together in God's house by the hand of God. First Peter 2:5 says it like this. And you are living stones that God is building into his spiritual temple. What's more, you are his holy priests. Through the mediation of Jesus Christ, you offer spiritual sacrifices that please God. So let's take a look at what Bezalel is making here in Exodus. It too is a delightful, inspired, magical, and amazing thing, but it's only a shadow. The reality is what Christ is doing. He's the master builder. He is making a masterpiece, and you are in it. Today, you are living not in the shadow, but in the reality of Christ himself. He's shaping you, his living stones, and you are part of his temple. Rejoice in the goodness of it and draw strength from the encouragement of this truth. Christ is building something, and we are all part of it. Rest in your home right there with him. 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.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL
