Das Geschenk, das wir nie hätten erwerben können (Alles neu 20)Weihnachten im Herzen„SIEHE, ICH MACHE ALLES NEU“, LEBEN IN ERWARTUNG - MONATSTHEMA DEZEMBER 2025Ich muss gestehen, es gab Momente im vergangenen Jahr, in denen ich nach einem Blick auf die Schlagzeilen gebetet habe: „Maranatha, komme bald, Herr Jesus! Wie lange noch?“ Gerade wenn man denkt, es kann mit der Gottlosigkeit, Grausamkeit, eiskalter Ungerechtigkeit dieser Welt nicht schlimmer werden, wird es noch schlimmer …Wir wollen diesen Monat, Eigenschaften der neuen Stadt anschauen … Sobald das neue Jahr losgeht, werden wir einen Bibelvers auf vielen Kalendern sehen, als Thema vieler Andachten und Predigten hören, auf Postkarten und Spruchkärtchen lesen, vor allem wenn wir uns in landeskirchlichen Kreisen und Gemeinschaften aufhalten. Es ist nämlich die Jahreslosung für das Jahr 2026. Eine fantastische Wahl für die Zeit, in der wir leben! Und weil diese Losung auch perfekt zu Advent und Weihnachten passt, schauen wir sie uns als Monatsthema Dezember an, hinführend zu Weihnachten. „Alles neu?

Pastor Ray Bentley points out the real dynamic of the judgment to come during the last days. The presence of God is restraining, holding evil back from its full, disgusting intent. So when we come down and it says, oh, God's going to, you know, here's this judgment. You know what the judgment is. All he does is he lets loose, he lets go and says, okay, who starts the wars?

Pastor Ray Bentley explains how Jesus was treated 2000 years ago and will be treated as the Last Days plan unfolds. What did Jesus receive when he came? He received beatings. He received a beard pulled from his cheeks. He received a crown of thorns on his head. And he was the creator of all things. Now he will receive power, which he is.

Pastor Ray Bentley reveals a portion of Revelation where John, the earthly author, was tearful. John's tears represent the tears of all God's people throughout all the centuries. No wonder John wept so fervently. If no Redeemer could be found to remove the curse, it meant that God's creation was forever consigned to remain in the hands of Satan. But then all of a sudden, everything changed.

Today, pastor Ray Bentley looks to revelation for the Lord's plan of redemption. The Book of Revelation has comforted the church that there is a plan. There is an unfolding of the divine will of the father in heaven. And the central theme is the sun. And it's going to a conclusion. And the conclusion is that the very title deed of the earth that was lost and forfeited is to be reclaimed spread.

Pastor Ray Bentley offers a glimpse of angels, and it may be different than we think. You know, you have those little novelty shops and you go in and they have these chubby little babies that they call cherubs with little miniature wings and dimples, and they're really cute. Okay. That's fine. That's cool. But that's not what real cherubim look like.

Pastor Ray Bentley on life, death, and the future. And our guardian angels. We have hope that this mortality, when I die, shall put on immortality. And that's what gives us hope. And so if we should die as a believer here upon the earth, the last responsibility of your guardian angel is to, I believe, carry your soul into the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ in heaven.

The Second Sunday of Advent. Advent begins with a call not just to repent, but to metanoia — a lifelong turning of heart, mind, and spirit toward new life. Fr. Peter invites us to pray maranatha (“Come, Lord Jesus”) as a daily Advent mantra that quiets the soul and makes room for transformation.

In our study of revelation, Pastor Ray Bentley takes us to God's throne, surrounded by a cloud of glory. The most amazing phenomenon associated with the cloud is the unmistakable voice of the Lord. Can sound like wind or thunder or rushing water. His voice is ear splitting. It is earth shattering. It is the Word of God. It is none other than Jesus Christ.

On this weeks episode of BTG, Pastor Nate preaches a message of hope from the passage of 1Corinthians 16:22 simply titled "Maranatha"Support the show

The expression “famous last words” applies to guest Emily Haynes. “One day you will be dean of women,” an associate dorm supervisor once playfully predicted. Emily adamantly replied, “Absolutely not!” Yet the Lord steadily guided her from teaching piano into the conjectured dean of women position. She and host Dr. Matt Davis review that process. Joining the Student Life Office as a dorm supervisor in 2010, she learned the one surprising rule—every day you must laugh. Emily enjoys her work, which mainly entails counseling and discipleship, though it includes a modicum of discipline too. She explains varied aspects of the dual mentorship role of working with students and dorm supervisors. Naturally, she partners with parents as well, assuring them of attentive student care. Maranatha's supportive environment “ought to be pretty reassuring to parents,” Dr. Davis observes, “once you describe all the different things we have in place to help their students thrive.” Now a 15-year veteran, Emily insists, “The rule still applies; there is laughter every day.”

When our eyes are fixed on our problems, it doesn't do as much good. The answer isn't inside our problems. Pastor Ray Bentley says, don't focus there. And where are we to have our eyes on the one who is sitting upon the throne? A throne center's authority. What is God saying? He's saying, I'm in charge. I rule. I'm still on the throne.

In our second Advent episode, Brian LaLonde leads us into the meaning of “Maranatha” through the miracles of Mark—freedom from darkness, healing in a moment, mastery over creation. Let us ponder the many ways Christ comes to meet us. The entire list of this year’s readings can be found at Advent 2025 Readings & Podcast. https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/751d834b-4e56-4f10-9123-2db48414ea9c.mp3

The rapture will come upon us quickly. The Bible says in the twinkling of an eye. Pastor Ray Bentley says that's not the time to get ready. I have met people that will say, when it all is happening, then I'll come to the Lord. When the rapture happens, whenever it happens, it will happen so fast that you could blink and the time you blinked and open your eyes again.

Pastor Ray Bentley on Jesus warnings to the lukewarm church. It lay out a sin. Here's what Jesus is saying. Just to say you're okay doesn't mean that in reality you are okay. It's possible to be religious and think you are the greatest thing since sliced bread. We're awesome. Look at all the things that we do. And yet the reality is that you are miserable inside.

Today, pastor Ray Bentley explains why the church at lay on Laodicea was lukewarm. If we believe that Jesus is God manifest in the flesh, and he's in us and in our hearts and lives as a community, there should be evidence of something supernatural, which ultimately means changed lives. What it means is that earlier this year was a church that kept meeting, but nobody.

Today. Pastor Ray Bentley on Jesus words to the church at Laodicea. I wish that you were either hot, passionate, on fire, in love with me, or I wish that you were like Colossae, where the mountain waters are so fresh and they're cold. I want my church to either be cold and refreshing or hot and healing. But you are neither.

Ugandan gospel artist Minister Rachel K sits down with Bonny Kibuuka on The Ugandan Boy Talk Show for her most open and revealing interview yet. From her early career in Los Angeles and MTV Base rotation, to performing on the Pepsi 2010 World Cup anthem “Oh Africa” with Akon and Keri Hilson, Rachel K shares the real story behind her journey.In this episode, she talks about:

Pastor Ray Bentley says we shouldn't wait too long to make our hearts right with the Lord. There's too much at stake. Jesus often gave this promise I am coming, and when I come, it'll happen like that. It'll happen in a moment. It'll happen like a thief in the night. You don't have time to adjust. There are many people that say, well, I'm going to wait until this happens, and then I'm going to get right with God and I'll be ready for the end.

In this powerful message, "The Nearness of the Lord," Pastor Peter asserts that we are in a unique cultural moment and a season being shaped by God drawing near to His church. He anchors this truth in Psalm 73:28, declaring, "But as for me, the nearness of God is my good". Drawing on the resurrection account where Jesus entered a locked room to minister to His disciples (John 20:19-22) and appeared to them for forty days before His ascension (Acts 1:1-3), Peter explains that the Lord is drawing near today to prepare His church and bring it out of prayerlessness and into oneness. This shift redefines our understanding of ecclesiology—the nature of the church—by emphasizing that it is not about debates or governance, but about Lordship, esteeming the Lord's presence, and remembering the cautionary tale of treating God's presence casually. Thanks to Jesus, who is the faithful High Priest, the church is being restored to its identity as a kingdom of priests to God the Father (Revelation 1:6), called to draw near to Him. Listen as Pastor Peter urges believers to awaken from slumber and slothfulness, embrace a volunteer spirit, and mobilize the priesthood of all believers, preparing the church to cry out, "Maranatha, come Lord Jesus".

As we reach the final words of Scripture, we're confronted with a profound question: what does it truly mean to long for Jesus' return? The epilogue of Revelation isn't just a gentle wrap-up—it's a spiritual mirror reflecting the deepest desires of our hearts. Three times in these closing verses, Jesus declares, 'Behold, I am coming soon,' and each repetition carries urgent weight. We're called to fix our gaze not on the distractions of this world, but on the One who is restoring all things. The ancient cry 'Maranatha'—come, Lord Jesus—becomes the identifying mark of those who truly belong to Him. But here's the uncomfortable truth we must wrestle with: do we genuinely want Jesus more than the gifts He brings? Would paradise still be paradise for us if Jesus wasn't there? This passage challenges us to examine where the world still has a pull on our hearts, where we're still saying 'not yet' instead of 'come.' As we enter the Advent season, remembering when the world longed for Jesus' first coming, we're invited to cultivate that same desperate longing for His return. The question isn't whether we believe He's coming—it's whether we're living with a forward lean into His kingdom, surrendering our own agendas and crying out with genuine anticipation for Him to come and make all things new.

Pastor Ray Bentley on Jesus message to one of the churches of revelation. I believe that Jesus not only spoke to the local church of Philadelphia, 2000 years ago, but he was also looking far into the future before the Second coming of Christ. That there would be a Church of Philadelphia with an open door of opportunity and and literally being able to bring the whole gospel to the whole world and fulfill the Great Commission.

Pastor Ray Bentley points out, Jesus had some words of observation about the Church of Philadelphia. Jesus also praised this church for being faithful to his Word. They were discipling in the word. They were evangelizing the word. They were sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. This church not only knew the word and the truth, but they were seeking to live it to the best of their ability.

Pastor Ray Bentley reminds us where to love our brothers and sisters in Christ. But there is another thing that distinguishes us from every other group Jesus said, you also must love your white enemies. How can we use all of our time, energy, money, resources, emotion, heart, passion, creativity to love those who are our enemies and love one another?
