In John 9, we encounter another of Jesus' miracles: healing a man born blind. Dan Rude helps us understand what this miracle says about who Jesus is and what this teaches us about suffering.

Postface - émission présentée par Caroline Gutmann. Elle reçoit Thierry Clermont pour “Ponant Express” aux éditions Stock Et Vincent Jaury pour le magazine culturel Transfuge. À propos du livre : « Ponant Express » paru aux éditions Stock C'est au coeur des îles du Ponant que l'écrivain voyageur Thierry Clermont accoste. En quinze escales entre Bretagne, Normandie, Vendée et Charente, il explore l'âme insulaire à travers ses paysages, ses dialectes, ses légendes et ses figures illustres. Pour l'oeil attentif, chaque île devient un monde : Chausey et ses 365 îlots, Bréhat la « petite impératrice sauvage », Ouessant et son phare du Créac'h, Sein l'héroïque, Groix la poétique, Belle-Île chère à Sarah Bernhardt, Molène, Houat et Hoedic, l'Île-aux-Moines, Arz, Yeu, Aix… Entre carnet de route et méditation poétique, l'auteur interroge la beauté et la fragilité de ces territoires face au surtourisme et au temps qui efface les métiers de la mer. Ponant Express est une ode à l'océan, à l'insularité, aux voyages authentiques et à la mémoire, portée par une écriture aussi libre qu'érudite.
To be a true Christian, you must believe that Jesus is God. As Jesus continues to state who He is, the Pharisees continue to reject Jesus by rejecting the nature of their sinful condition, relying on their religious heritage, offering insults, and finally deciding to silence Jesus at all costs. Pastor Dan Rude explains how Jesus proclaims He is God through his points against their claims, demonstrating righteousness and love, and how Christians should place their entire hope for forgiveness and freedom in Jesus Christ alone.

"The truth will set you free." - John 8:32, one of the Bible's most famous verses. Pastor Dan Rude explains what Jesus means and how he can offer such freedom. In this message, Pastor Dan will discuss the reality of false believers, the marks of true believers, what it means to be enslaved to sin, and how, in Christ, we are offered true freedom.
Join us this week as we kick off our summer sermon series, continuing from the last two summers with part three in our look at The Gospel of John. Today we look at false belief and true freedom as expressed in John chapter 8 verses 30-36.

Pastor Dan Rude answers two questions that arise from Genesis 50: “What do you do with guilt?” and “How do we forgive those who have deeply hurt us?” As Genesis comes to a close, Joseph's brothers continue to struggle with the guilt of what they have done to him, while Joseph demonstrates his established forgiveness through his words and actions toward them.
In the final week of our Building Together series, we look at what the New Testament teaches about church growth. Should a local church care about growing? Should we aim to reach more people, make more disciples, and expand the work of ministry?From Acts 2, Matthew 28, and other New Testament passages, we see that the early church was constantly growing because it was committed to the mission Jesus gave: to glorify God by making authentic disciples who love and worship Him in all they do.As Walnut Creek Church looks toward the future, we are praying, giving, and growing together so that more people in Altoona and the surrounding communities would come to know Jesus for generations to come.

God's ways are not our ways, and this is clearly evident at the end of Genesis. In Genesis 48, we find Jacob at the end of his life giving a blessing to Joseph's sons. In this chapter, we see the first mention of God as a shepherd. Pastor Dan explains how this blessing reveals Jacob's view of God and his obedience to Him. It also shows Joseph's immense faith in choosing to align his family with Israel instead of Egypt.
Join us this week for a brand new sermon mini-series on what it means to build a church together, starting with Matthew 28 verses 16-20.Nearly ten years ago, a small team left downtown Des Moines to plant Walnut Creek Church in Altoona. What began with a handful of families meeting in a renovated 150-year-old building has grown into a thriving church committed to making disciples of Jesus Christ. In this message, we share the vision behind Building Together. A church-wide initiative focused on prayer, generosity, growth, and preparing for the next generation of ministry.From Matthew 28, Ephesians 4, Acts 2, and Psalm 127, we explore God's design for His church and the role each believer plays in making disciples, growing spiritually, and reaching the community with the gospel.Whether you're part of Walnut Creek Church or simply interested in biblical church growth, this message offers a vision for what it means to build together for God's glory.

In Genesis 46, Jacob makes the hard decision to leave the Promised Land and go to Egypt, where he will finally be reunited with his son Joseph. Pastor Dan Rude teaches how we follow the Lord when we are afraid and how God used the nation of Egypt to build up His people.
Join us this week as we finish our sermon series in Genesis, looking at chapters 46-50. After nearly four years and 64 sermons through the book of Genesis, we arrive at the final chapters of Scripture's first book. Genesis 45–50 brings Joseph's story to its conclusion and ties together the major themes that have run throughout Genesis from the very beginning: God's promises, God's blessing, God's providence, and the faith of His people. Joseph's suffering preserved many lives, but Jesus' suffering secured salvation for the world. What people intended for evil, God used for ultimate good.As Genesis closes, God's people still wait for the full fulfillment of His promises. Their story ends with faith—and ours does too—as we await the return of Christ.
Reveal, Reassure, Reconcile, Return, Revival. These are the 5 words that summarize Genesis 45 when Joseph reveals his identity to his brothers. Pastor Luke Hukee delves into what forgiveness is, what reconciliation entails, and how, as Christians, we have reason to hope and be optimistic, regardless of the circumstances.
Join us again this week as we continue our sermon series in Genesis with chapter 45 verses 1-28. After twenty years of betrayal, deception, separation, and suffering, Joseph finally reveals his identity to his brothers. What follows is one of the most emotional and beautiful moments in all of Scripture.In Genesis 45, we see Joseph choose forgiveness over revenge, reconciliation over bitterness, and trust in God's sovereignty over resentment. Instead of punishing the brothers who sold him into slavery, Joseph welcomes them near and recognizes God's hand at work through every painful chapter of his life.If you've experienced betrayal, broken relationships, family conflict, or difficulty forgiving others, Genesis 45 offers hope, wisdom, and a powerful reminder that God is sovereign even through suffering.You can visit Walnut Creek Church - Altoona online at wcaltoona.org
In Genesis 44, we see the fruit, the proof of Joseph's brothers' transformation. The longest recorded speech from Joseph's brother, Judah, and some say the most manly. Pastor Luke walks us through this chapter, highlighting how it reminds us of Jesus' sacrifice for us and the transformative power of God's grace.
Join us again this week as we continue our sermon series in Genesis with chapter 44 verses 1-34. Genesis 44 brings Joseph's final and most important test. Twenty years after selling their brother into slavery, Joseph recreates the circumstances of their greatest sin to find out whether his brothers are still the same men, or whether God has transformed them. What follows is one of the most powerful moments in Genesis.If you've ever wondered whether people can truly change, or what biblical repentance really looks like, Genesis 44 gives a powerful answer.
Join us again this week as we continue our sermon series in Genesis with chapter 43 verses 1-34.What would you do if God asked you to give up the thing you care about most?In Genesis 43, Jacob faces an impossible choice: Hold onto Benjamin or risk losing everything. Trust God or cling to control. At the same time, something powerful is happening beneath the surface. Judah begins to change. The brothers show signs of real transformation. And jealousy—the sin that started it all—is finally losing its grip.When you realize what you've been given in Christ, you stop obsessing over what others have.
Envy is a darker side of coveting, born out of an obsession with what someone deserves. In Genesis 43, Joseph encounters his brothers again and has another test for them to reveal whether these envious men who threw him in a pit and sold him into slavery had changed. Pastor Dan Rude discusses the cure for envy and how it is illustrated in the story of Joseph.
Joseph encounters his brothers for the first time, and instead of choosing to forget about them. He chooses to try to get to know them, understand them, and create an opportunity to potentially seek reconciliation. Pastor Dan Rude explains how sin haunts, how forgiveness works, and how reconciliation is different than forgiveness.
Join us this week as we pick up our Genesis sermon series where we left off, continuing with chapter 42 verses 1-38.What happens when hidden sin finally comes to the surface? In Genesis 42, Joseph's brothers come face to face with the guilt they've avoided for 20 years. They thought they could bury it and move on from it, but God had other plans.We'll examine why Joseph tests his brothers, the moment their conscience awakens, how guilt can actually be a gift from God, and how true transformation begins.If you've ever carried guilt, buried something from your past, or felt the weight of conviction—this message will hit home.
The experience of pain is different when there is hope. In this sermon, Pastor Dan Rude gives 5 facts from our passage that help us understand that the resurrection really did happen. He then reviews 3 implications Jesus' resurrection has for our lives. Understanding these realities produces in us a Joyful Trembling.
Join us again this week for the final sermon of our Easter series, where we continue with Mark chapter 16 verses 1-8.
Jesus experienced an extremely painful death because of you and for you. Pastor Luke Hukee explains what is physically happening on the cross and how this excruciating event was necessary for the results: Access to God.
Adam and Eve failed in the garden, and sin entered the world. In Mark, Jesus enters a garden to prepare to pay for the sins of the world. Pastor Dan Rude shares what Jesus faced, why He was distressed, and how He was faithful even under the pressure of what was about to happen to Him.
Join us again this week as we continue our Easter sermon series with Mark chapter 14 verses 22-25. Why was Jesus so distressed in the Garden of Gethsemane?On the night before the cross, Jesus faces the cup of God's wrath. Here we'll discuss the two vows (Jesus' faithfulness vs. Peter's failure), the two cups (blessing vs. wrath), and the two sources of power (Spirit vs. flesh).If you want to follow Jesus, you cannot rely on your own strength. You must learn to live by the power of the Spirit through prayer. If you've ever struggled with temptation, failure, or feeling spiritually weak, this message is for you.
What does Jesus consider beautiful? In this section of Mark, we see a woman who goes to great lengths to show her love and devotion to Jesus. Her beliefs lead her to action, an action that, while not the most practical, communicates the reality that showing love isn't always practical. Pastor Luke Hukee walks us through this story and Jesus' response to the woman.
Join us this week as we begin our new Easter sermon series with Mark chapter 14 verses 1 through 11. As we approach Easter, one question rises above all others: What do you believe about Jesus?In Mark 14, we see three radically different responses to Jesus that still define how people relate to Him today.The chief priests hate Jesus and plot His deathA woman in Bethany pours out extravagant love and worshipJudas pretends to follow Jesus while secretly betraying HimWe'll look at why people reject or redefine Jesus, what true love for Jesus actually looks like, the danger of pretending to follow Him, and how genuine faith goes beyond belief into trust.Do you hate Jesus, love Him, or are you pretending?
Last time we saw Joseph in Genesis 40, he was in prison (see last week's message: https://youtu.be/C1Sf_BDLOOU), but in the blink of an eye, so much changed for Joseph through the sovereign work of God. Pastor Luke Hukee explains Joseph's interaction with Pharaoh and how Joseph ultimately became second in command over the land of Egypt.
Join us again this week as we continue our sermon series in Genesis with chapter 41 verses 1-57. We look at Joseph's interpretations of Pharaoh's dreams and how that points to God's sovereignty over everything.
Joseph's life was marked by suffering. In Genesis 40, we find Joseph in prison for a crime he did not commit. Yet, he continues to identify with the people of God, leading himself in worshiping God and suffering well, trusting that the God of his fathers had not forgotten him. Pastor Dan Rude reveals how Genesis 40 informs our suffering and the hope we have in Christ.
Join us again this week as we continue our sermon series in Genesis with Chapter 40 verses 1-23. What does faith actually look like when life falls apart?In Genesis 40, Joseph is in prison. He has been betrayed, falsely accused, and forgotten.This is the lowest point of his life. And yet this is where his faith shines the brightest.Joseph shows us that true faith is not proven in comfort, but in suffering.If you feel like you're in a “pit” right now, this message is for you.
In Joseph's story, we see a man who has set his heart to choose the Lord over sin. We see that conviction played out when Joseph is confronted with his master's wife. Pastor Dan Rude explains how the story of Joseph helps us understand what it looks like to live with sexual integrity.
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.
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.
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.

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