Joseph faced relentless pressure to compromise his integrity, yet he chose to honor God by identifying the lie behind the temptation and fleeing immediately.

In this fifth week of the "No Mercy" series, Pastor Jeff explores the life-changing power available to every believer through Romans chapter 8. Many Christians live in a constant cycle of sin and defeat, unaware of the spiritual resources already inside them. True freedom begins when you stand in the verdict of "no condemnation" and learn to rely on the indwelling Holy Spirit. How can you practically put to death the persistent sins that hold you back? Watch to discover four active steps to reclaim your peace, reset your mind, and live in the fullness of God's power. Speaker: Jeff Schwarzentraub

Ephesians 2:11-22; 1 Peter 2:9-10 Acts 8:3Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called the uncircumcision by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands—remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.1 Peter 2:9-10But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.Acts 8:3But Saul was ravaging the church, and entering house after house, he dragged off men and women and committed them to prison.Exodus 19:3-6while Moses went up to God. The LORD called to him out of the mountain, saying, Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the people of Israel: ‘You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself. Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is mine; and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These are the words that you shall speak to the people of Israel.Hosea 1:6She conceived again and bore a daughter. And the LORD said to him, Call her name No Mercy, for I will no more have mercy on the house of Israel, to forgive them at all.Hosea 1:8-9When she had weaned No Mercy, she conceived and bore a son. And the LORD said, Call his name Not My People, for you are not my people, and I am not your God.Hosea 1:10Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be like the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or numbered. And in the place where it was said to them, You are not my people, it shall be said to them, Children of the living God.1 Peter 2:10Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.1 Corinthians 12:12-13For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit.1 Corinthians 12:27Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it.Ephesians 2:19-22So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.

Bonnie Dobson wrote the haunting folk classic “Morning Dew” in 1961, inspired by the fear of nuclear annihilation. The song would go on to be recorded by the Grateful Dead, Jeff Beck, Robert Plant, Nazareth, Devo and countless others—but along the way, singer Tim Rose claimed co-writing credit, beginning a decades-long struggle for Dobson to reclaim recognition for the song she wrote.Author John Einarson joins Booked On Rock to discuss his new biography, Take Me For A Walk In The Morning Dew: The Life and Times of Bonnie Dobson and the Story of Her Iconic Song. We explore the remarkable origins of “Morning Dew,” Bonnie's experiences in the 1960s folk scene and with a young Bob Dylan, how the Grateful Dead helped immortalize the song, the controversy surrounding Tim Rose, and the battle to restore Bonnie's rightful credit. John also shares the wonderful story of Bonnie knocking on Robert Plant's door and how Plant ultimately helped her get her song back.Pre-order a copy of Take Me For A Walk In The Morning Dew: The Life And Times Of Bonnie Dobson And The Story Of Her Iconic SongOrder a signed copy of Take Me For A Walk In The Morning Dew from Rough TradeFind more books by John Einarson----------

There isn't a single surviving original manuscript for any book of the Bible, so how do scholars decide what the earliest recoverable text actually said? This week, it's a primer on textual criticism: why King James onlyists despise it (despite the KJV being a product of it), what Erasmus did when he ran out of Greek manuscripts for the last chapter of Revelation, and how one scribe's wandering eye can quietly delete an entire paragraph from Samuel. Then it's chapter and verse on Zephaniah — three short chapters of unrelenting doom that promise to sweep humans, animals, birds, and fish off the face of the earth, before pivoting rather abruptly to "sing aloud, O daughter Zion."

Pastor Jeff continues the No Mercy series by exploring Romans 7 and the true purpose of God's law. Many people mistakenly run back to the law to prove they are good enough, falling into the trap of legalism. The law acts like a mirror that shows us our spiritual dirt, but it lacks the power to wash us clean. True righteousness and personal transformation come only through a life united with Jesus Christ. Are you tired of trying harder only to fail again? Watch this message to discover how to escape the trap of rule-keeping and embrace the freedom of abiding in grace. Speaker: Jeff Schwarzentraub

New developments in the case against Bryan Kohberger, the suspect in the University of Idaho student murders, suggest that he may have purchased a K-Bar-style knife—the same type of weapon believed to have been used in the killings—on Amazon prior to the attack. According to investigative sources, law enforcement uncovered Amazon purchase records tied to Kohberger's account, which allegedly show he bought a combat knife matching the profile of the murder weapon. The K-Bar is a military-style fixed blade known for its lethality, and forensic analysts have long suspected such a weapon was used in the brutal stabbings.This new piece of evidence is considered damning by prosecutors because it may directly link Kohberger to the murder weapon, something previously lacking in the case. While no physical knife has yet been recovered, digital forensics revealing a purchase trail could help establish premeditation and intent, two key elements for a first-degree murder conviction. Kohberger's defense team is expected to challenge the authenticity, ownership, and timing of the purchase, but if verified, this could significantly strengthen the prosecution's narrative that he meticulously planned the killings.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Bryan Kohberger's damning Amazon history revealed ahead of Idaho trial - as he points to multiple killers | Daily Mail Online

A grieving George Duke of Clarence wants someone to blame for the tragic death of his wife and spare heir.  Isabel Neville, Duchess of Clarence, dies during childbirth in December 1476. Their infant son dies shortly afterward.  It's a moment that would push anyone to the brink, but in George's hands, it turns bloody. He sets his sights on two low-ranking staff members in the Clarence household, creates a kangaroo court, and sends them to the gallows.  This act of extrajudicial killing isn't seen as a lapse from someone wracked with grief, but something entirely in keeping with what many see in George: someone who is greedy, volatile, and profoundly disloyal.  It's these qualities that make King Edward IV realise England won't be at peace with George alive. So naturally, he reaches for a supply of Portuguese wine to sort things out once and for all.  – As always, Dan's royal favourites can chime in anytime on the royal court on Patreon at patreon.com/thisishistory. It's where you get your bonus episodes, and on this week's episode Dan explains why the ‘rule of law' could be made brittle for certain nobles under Edward IV's reign. Plus, we hear about whether George Duke of Clarence was a medieval gold digger, and why he decides to play “silly buggers” with a crystal ball.  – A Sony Music Entertainment production.  Find more great podcasts from Sony Music Entertainment at sonymusic.com/podcasts  To bring your brand to life in this podcast, email podcastadsales@sonymusic.com  Learn more about your ad choices.  Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices  –– Presented by Dan Jones  Producer - Alan Weedon Senior Producer - Dominic Tyerman Associate Producer - Dulcie Whadcock Executive Producer - Louisa Field  Executive Producer - Dan Jones Production Manager - Jen Mistri  Production Coordinator - Eric Ryan  Head of Content - Chris Skinner Learn more about your ad choices.
