The story of Judah and Tamar, when you read it, you may be left with a feeling of "What?!" Pastor Dan Rude explains how this story offers hope to a broken world.

Genesis 37 starts off one of the most popular stories of Genesis - the story of Joseph and his brothers. Pastor Luke Hukee explains how jealousy and bitterness can destroy relationships.

The Bible often teaches us through contrast. In Genesis, we are presented with twin brothers, Jacob and Esau, who each become a nation, but what they choose to worship is drastically different. In Genesis 36, we see a record of all that Esau gained; he was given the world, but he lost his soul. Pastor Dan Rude explains the importance of an eternal mindset.

Join us this week for another sermon in our series on Genesis, continuing with chapter 36 verses 1-43. Genesis 36 is a genealogy that at first glance, may seem like a list of hard-to-pronounce names. But this chapter tells a dramatic and sobering story about the legacy of Esau.Esau has everything the world could offer—land, wealth, descendants, power, fame. His people become an established kingdom long before Israel. But something is missing.You don't need less than Esau. You need more. You need God. Because everything without Jesus is nothing. But Jesus, without anything else, is everything.

In Genesis 35, Jacob returns to the place where God first met him: Bethel. This sermon traces Jacob's journey from spiritual compromise to renewed worship, highlighting the importance of exclusive devotion to the Lord.

Join us again this week as we continue our sermon series in Genesis with chapter 35, verses 1-29. After the horrific events of Genesis 34, God calls Jacob to return to Bethel, which is a call to worship, repent, and renew his faith. In Genesis 35, we witness Jacob leading his family in repentance, burying idols, and building an altar to God.

In this Sermon on Genesis 34, Pastor Dan Rude unpacks one of the Bible's darkest chapters—a story filled with "bad and ugly" examples rather than heroes. When Dinah is defiled by Shechem, Jacob's passivity and failure to lead his family stand in stark contrast to the vengeful, murderous rage of his sons, Simeon and Levi.

Join us for another chapter in our Genesis sermon series, continuing with Genesis chapter 34. verses 1-31. This chapter is one of the darkest chapters in the Bible. When Jacob's daughter Dinah is raped, her brothers Simeon and Levi retaliate with deceit and mass murder. There's no mention of God. No redemption arc. Just a painful unraveling of a family that has strayed from God's presence.We'll look at why this story is included in the book of Genesis as well as other questions such as how does reversing God's design for marriage lead to ruin? What does it mean that Jacob stopped 30 miles short of where God told him to go? Why does moral vulnerability often follow spiritual breakthroughs? How does unchecked anger, even when “righteous,” lead to devastating sin? What does true justice looks like?

Au début de la « semaine de prière pour l'unité chrétienne », la Foi Prise Au Mot propose une émission sur les moines d'Orient. Afin d'inaugurer ce temps fort oecuménique, Régis Burnet plonge aux origines du monachisme, au IVe et Ve siècle, en Égypte, à Constantinople et en Palestine pour s'intéresser à ces figures radicales ; des hommes vivant au sommet d'une colonne, ou parcourant le désert pour y combattre les démons et qui choisissent une existence frugale. Pour comprendre la conception de l'ascèse et de la sainteté d'un Daniel le Stylite, Sabas, Pachôme ou encore Hypatios, le bibliste reçoit Muriel Debié, Directrice d'études à l'Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes Paris Sciences et Lettres et André Binggeli, directeur de recherches au CNRS à l'institut de recherche et d'histoire des textes. Emission du 18 janvier 2026.

Jacob returns to his homeland and meets his brother. Pastor Dan Rude explains this reunion and how the Lord faithfully continued to sanctify Jacob.

Join us again this week as we continue our sermon series in Genesis with Chapter 33 verses 1-20. Jacob has spent 20 years running from the consequences of his deception. But when he finally faces Esau, the brother he betrayed, something unexpected happens: grace.It shows that even when we're haunted by our past, God meets us with mercy, and calls us to be vessels of grace in real-life relationships.

Jacob is heading back to his homeland after being gone for over 20 years, but he is returning to a potentially enraged brother, Esau. However, before he meets Esau, Jacob has a much greater encounter with the God who does not leave His people even when they mess up their own lives.

Join us this week as we continue our sermon series of Genesis with Chapter 32, verses 1-55.Jacob's whole life has been a struggle against Esau, Laban, Isaac, even himself. But in Genesis 32, it all builds to a single, mysterious, nighttime encounter where he wrestles with God.As he returns home, Jacob is haunted by Esau's face along with his guilt, his fear, and his unresolved past. But in the end, it is God's face that matters most. Through prayer, humility, and a strange, supernatural wrestling match, Jacob is transformed.When you wrestle with God and lose - you win

After 21 years, Jacob is convinced it is time to return to the land God promised his family. This means he must flee from his uncle Laban. Pastor Dan Rude explains how this story connects Jacob to Abraham to leave the same land, how it anticipates the exodus from Egypt that follows, and ultimately how it looks ahead to Christ, who offers a better covenant.

Join us this week as we continue our sermon series in Genesis with chapter 31 verses 1-55. As Jacob flees Laban and begins the long journey back to Canaan, a fierce conflict emerges over possessions. Who owns the family? Who owns the flocks? Who controls the future?This chapter is ancient family drama that gives us a mirror for our hearts. Do we believe our stuff is ours, or God's? Do we cling to little gods or trust the Good Shepherd?

Jacob has received a blessing from the Lord, who has also provided wives and 12 sons. He now desires to return home with his wives and children after 14 years working for his Uncle Laban. In this part of the story, we will see how God's blessing continues to follow Jacob even when his Uncle Laban tries to deceive Jacob to build his own wealth. We will see that when God makes promises to people, no one can stop Him from keeping those promises.

Join us again this week as we continue where we left off with our sermon series on Genesis with Chapter 30 verses 25-34. We look at the story of Jacob and his relationship with Laban.After 20 years of hard labor, Jacob was finally ready to go home, but Laban had other plans. What unfolds next is a story of deception, endurance, divine blessing, and spiritual transformation. Through an odd breeding strategy and a broken business deal, Jacob learns that God is not only the God of big moments, but of small, daily faithfulness too.Jacob didn't become a man of faith overnight. Neither will you. But the same God who refined Jacob over 20 years of quiet shepherding is shaping you too.

In Matthew 2, we see 3 different responses to Jesus. These responses were true hundreds of years ago and today. Pastor Dan Rude explores these responses and how the wise men's gifts point to this baby's, Jesus Christ's, identity! He asks the question, "What will your response be?"

Join us as we finish our Christmas sermon series on the eve of our savior's birth. We'll look at Luke chapter 2 verses 1-11 and the reason we celebrate the birth of Jesus, and what it means for our lives and for eternity.Most of our Christmas traditions are suprisingly new. Elf on the Shelf, advent calendars, pajamas, trees, etc. But the true Christmas story is ancient.In Luke 2, the angels announce that the Savior has been born. But to understand why Jesus came, we have to go back even further. All the way to Genesis 3, when humanity first sinned and God promised a descendant who would defeat death and crush evil forever.God's greatest gift is not found under a tree. It's found in a manger, in a cross, and in an empty tomb.

In the great king's failure, we are shown the need for someone better. Pastor Dan Rude explains how David failed, the consequences, and how one verse in this whole messy situation points to the reason for Christmas.

Join us again this week as we continue our Christmas sermon series with chapters 11 and 12 from 2 Samuel, exploring the sinful relationship of David and Bathsheba, and how it relates to the story of the birth of Jesus on Christmas.We return to Bethlehem, but 1,000 years before the birth of Christ, to the reign of King David.From Genesis 3, God promised that one day a descendant of Eve would crush the serpent and restore what sin destroyed. Could David be the one? He's brave, humble, faithful. He is a man after God's own heart. But then he falls...

To understand the hope of Christmas, you have to understand why we need it. For that, you have to go back to the beginning when sin first entered the world through a garden. Pastor Dan Rude explains what happened and the promise that led to a hope carried over centuries.

We often think the Christmas story begins with Mary, Joseph, and a baby in a manger, but it actually starts in the Garden of Eden. Long before Bethlehem, God made a promise to a serpent. That the offspring of the woman would crush evil once and for all. This promise first whispered in Genesis 3 is the true origin of Christmas. The child in the manger came to destroy sin, defeat Satan, and bring us back to God.

On September fifth, nineteen eighty two, twelve year old Johnny Gosch walked out of his West Des Moines home before dawn to deliver newspapers and vanished without a trace. His case changed America forever, leading to the first missing child on a milk carton and landmark legislation that transformed how we handle abducted children.But the story most people know barely scratches the surface of what really happened.In this episode of The Redacted Report, we dig into the buried facts, the covered-up connections, and the questions that powerful people have spent four decades trying to silence.We begin with Police Chief Orval Cooney, the man tasked with finding Johnny. What most people don't know is that Cooney had a violent past, including a nineteen fifty one assault conviction. Just months before Johnny disappeared, eighteen of his own officers went on record accusing him of brutality, harassment, and drinking on duty. When volunteers searched for Johnny, witnesses say Cooney climbed onto a picnic table and told everyone to go home, calling the missing boy a damn runaway. He stonewalled the family at every turn until his sudden death in two thousand three, just as a lawsuit was about to expose what he knew. Then there's the newspaper itself. Johnny delivered papers for the Des Moines Register, the same company that employed Frank Sykora, who admitted to molesting at least seven paperboys, and Wilbur Millhouse, a former circulation manager found with a list of twenty two hundred boys' names when he was arrested. Millhouse reportedly told people for years that he knew who took Johnny and why. We examine the chilling prediction made two months before thirteen year old Eugene Martin vanished in nineteen eighty four. According to Noreen Gosch, a private investigator warned her another paperboy would be taken the second weekend of August on the south side of Des Moines. She passed this information to authorities. They did nothing. Eugene disappeared exactly when and where predicted. The episode explores the proof of life that emerged after Johnny's abduction. A confirmed sighting in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where investigators said a boy crying for help was positively identified as Johnny. A dollar bill with his authenticated signature surfacing in Sioux City three years later. Signs that Johnny was alive, somewhere, trying to send a message. We dive deep into the Franklin Credit Union scandal and the testimony of Paul Bonacci, who claimed he was forced to participate in Johnny's kidnapping. Bonacci knew physical details about Johnny that weren't public knowledge. A federal judge ruled his testimony truthful and awarded him one million dollars in a civil judgment. Yet police never interviewed him about the Gosch case.he investigation into Franklin led to tragedy. State investigator Gary Caradori was collecting evidence, interviewing witnesses, building a case against powerful people. On July eleventh, nineteen ninety, his plane came apart in midair over an Illinois cornfield. He and his eight year old son were killed. His briefcase of newly obtained evidence was never recovered. A documentary about the scandal called Conspiracy of Silence was pulled from the Discovery Channel before it could air. We trace the trafficking network run by John David Norman, a career predator whose operations spanned decades. His thirty thousand customer index cards were sent to the State Department and destroyed. His associate Phillip Paske worked for John Wayne Gacy. Investigators following witness testimony found an abandoned Colorado ranch with a hidden underground chamber and children's initials carved into the walls. The episode covers Noreen Gosch's claim that Johnny visited her in nineteen ninety seven, fifteen years after his disappearance, and the mysterious envelope of photographs left on her doorstep in two thousand six showing bound and gagged children, one of whom she believes is her son. Johnny Gosch would be fifty five years old today. No arrests have ever been made. No body has ever been found. The West Des Moines Police Department still refuses to release their complete case file. Someone knows what happened that September morning. Someone drove the blue Ford Fairmont. Someone flicked that dome light three times. And someone has kept this secret for over four decades. This is the story they buried. This is The Redacted Report.

On September 5, 1982, 12-year-old paperboy Johnny Gosch left his West Des Moines home before dawn to deliver the Des Moines Register—and never returned. His red wagon was found two blocks away, still loaded with undelivered papers. Witnesses reported Johnny speaking with a stocky man near a blue two-toned car, and another man seen trailing him moments later. Within minutes, Johnny vanished.In this episode, we dig into one of America's most chilling missing-child cases—and the fallout that changed the country. We reconstruct Johnny's last morning, then unravel an investigation marked by early missteps and delays that fueled Noreen Gosch's relentless campaign for reform. Her advocacy helped end mandatory waiting periods for missing-child cases through the Johnny Gosch Bill and contributed to the broader national push that led to the creation of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. We also examine the haunting pattern of other Des Moines-area disappearances, including paperboy Eugene Martin in 1984 and Marc Allen in 1986—cases still unsolved and often viewed through the same lens of fear and possibility. The story takes darker, more controversial turns: the testimony of trafficking survivor Paul Bonacci, who said he was forced to participate in Johnny's abduction and later won a civil judgment after a federal judge found his account credible; Noreen's claim that an adult Johnny visited her in March 1997; and the disputed photographs left at her home in 2006. We lay out what's alleged, what's documented, and why the case remains so fiercely debated.Finally, we cover Noreen Gosch's updated allegations naming John David Norman and Phillip Paske as potential perpetrators—claims that remain unproven but continue to shape public theories about the case. As of 2025, Johnny Gosch has been missing for more than 43 years. No arrests. No confirmed sightings. Just a family still searching and a case that refuses to die.

Jacob has two wives, one wanted and one unwanted (see how this happened here: https://youtu.be/T5afnPFFtUQ). Pastor Luke explains how, despite the dysfunction, chaos, and warring desires, God's promise will be fulfilled.

Join us this week as we continue our sermon series on Genesis with chapter 29 verse 31 through chapter 30 verse 24. Genesis 30 is the birth of a nation but you'd never guess it from the dysfunction in Jacob's household. Through sibling rivalry, manipulation, envy, and desperation, God's plan moves forward. God's purposes are never stopped by human sin. From the cosmic expansion of Abraham's promise to the gritty details of a broken family, this chapter shows us there's no one too broken for God to use and that life apart from God always leaves us empty.This chapter is messy, and yet full of hope.

God disciplines those He loves. After the high of receiving an amazing promise from the Lord (see last week: https://youtu.be/RYE_RpM3O2A), Jacob encounters the woman he desires for a wife. However, in the process of making her his own, he experiences a taste of his own medicine. Pastor Luke explains this complex story, filled with deceit, and delves into the question of how the Lord could allow this to happen.

Join us again this week as we continue our sermon series in Genesis with Chapter 29 verses 1-30 involving Jacob, Laban, and Rachel. Jacob arrives in Haran hoping to find a wife, escape his brother's wrath, and build a future. Instead, he finds deception, heartbreak, and the consequences of his own sin. Jacob, once a cowardly liar, is being humbled by divine design.

Jacob was running for his life, and while he was sleeping, God pulled back the curtain, revealing what He was doing and giving Jacob a promise that would impact generations. Pastor Dan Rude shares about the meaning of Jacob's dream and Jacob's reaction to his encounter with God.

Join us again this week as we continue our sermon series on Genesis with chapter 27 verse 41 through chapter 28 verse 22. We look at the beginning of Jacob's relationship with God. Jacob is on the run and burdened by his own sin. Sleeping on a stone for a pillow, in the middle of the wilderness, God initiates a relationship with him.In one of the most famous dreams in Scripture, Jacob sees a stairway connecting heaven and earth, with angels ascending and descending. The gospel is for people like Jacob. And people like us.

In Genesis chapter 27, we find a story without heroes. As Jacob steals Esau's blessing, we see God works through the failure of His people to accomplish His purposes, and we also see that there are grave consequences for our sin. Isaac's rebellion towards God's plan ultimately blows up his family.

What tempted Isaac to call his wife his sister??? God's promise to Abraham continues on to his son Isaac along with many very similar life situations. While Isaac is faithful in some areas, we can still observe fear in his life. Pastor Dan Rude talks about how we face fear in the Christian life and how Isaac ultimately chose God over wealth.

Unlike his father, Isaac turned to the Lord in his childlessness, and the Lord gave him twins along with a revelation that these two boys would become the beginnings of nations. Pastor Luke Hukee explains how one twin's attitude toward what he was given can be imitated by us today—and why we should avoid that.

How do you know God is for you? Romans 8. Dr. Donald Whitney explains how we can be sure that God is not against us, neutral towards us, but rather He is FOR US!This message was given by guest speaker Dr Donald Whitney, who hosted an Equip Conference that weekend, Spiritual Disciplines for Real People.

What promises are you building your life on? Every day, we base our lives on promises we believe, but only the promises of God provide a foundation that will never fail. Abraham's story is a powerful reminder that a life built on the promises of God is a life well-lived. Learn how to trust God's Word and run your race of faith with endurance.

Finding a wife isn't easy—even in Genesis. Pastor Dan Rude walks us through Isaac's search for a wife and what we can learn today about pursuing marriage.

Abraham and Sarah were married for over 100 years, and in Genesis 23, we witness Abraham dealing with the death of his wife and how the first land owned in the Promised Land was not a city, but a tomb.
