This Sunday we introduced an opportunity for our church to rally behind local moms, dads, and babies facing crisis and unplanned pregnancies. Through our partnership with Open Arms Pregnancy Care Center, we're seeking to fully fund “Infinite Worth” — a 24/7 nurse chat and texting service that connects abortion-minded women in real time with licensed, pro-life nurses offering truth, compassion, medical guidance, and hope.These conversations often happen late at night, outside of clinic hours, and in moments marked by fear, panic, isolation, and pressure. Infinite Worth steps directly into those moments with immediate care and a pathway toward life, support, and ongoing relationship through local pregnancy centers like Open Arms.Our goal is to fund this ministry for at least one year — and hopefully two — as a tangible way of protecting life and serving vulnerable families in our community.In the drop down menu for “Fund” select “Infinite Worth”https://alloflife.churchcenter.com/giving

In this message from Acts 9, we follow Saul's journey on the road to Damascus and discover how an encounter with Jesus can completely change a life. From persecution to purpose, Saul's story reminds us that God can redirect anyone through His grace, power, and calling. A powerful message on surrender, transformation, and the life-changing power of the Holy Spirit.

Pastor John shares a powerful message from Acts 6–7 on “The God Who Is There.” Through Stephen's defence before the Sanhedrin, we are reminded that God is not confined to a building or tradition, He is present with His people everywhere. Discover how the Holy Spirit helps us become aware of God's presence in every moment and why faith is always about Jesus, not just the packaging.

In this message from the “Revival to Revolution” series, Pastor Brian explores Acts 8:26–40 and the story of Philip and the Ethiopian official. As culture searches again for meaning, spirituality, and hope, this message reminds us that the Gospel still meets people with open arms. Discover how God calls us to “go to one,” why the door to faith is already open for many people, and how the good news of Jesus brings clarity, peace, grace, and joy. A timely and encouraging message about evangelism, revival, and the life-changing power of the Gospel.

Letzte Woche Little Simz neue 4-Track-EP „Sugar Girl“, die klar Richtung Club zielt. Der Sound ist direkt, energetisch und auf Bewegung ausgelegt, mit starken Stilwechseln zwischen den Tracks. Die Songs funktionieren weniger als klassische Albumstücke, sondern eher als einzelne Momente für DJ-Sets, Streifzüge durch verschiedene Hip-Hop-Sub- und Randgenres.Alle Features auf „Sugar Girl“ sind weiblich: JT auf der Electro-Strip-Club-Nummer „Game On“, DEELA auf „Open Arms“ und 070 Shake auf „Telephone“. Statt selbstanalytischer Exkurse geht es diesmal eher ums Ass-Shaken zum Lieblingssong inklusive stellenweise großzügigem Einsatz von Autotune.

Novecento giorni. Nessun giornalista straniero è entrato a Gaza in modo indipendente dall'ottobre 2023. Il 13 aprile, la Foreign Press Association in Israele — che rappresenta giornalisti di 130 testate — ha depositato una mozione d'urgenza alla Corte Suprema per anticipare la decisione sul divieto. La risposta: nuova proroga. Scadenza al 24 maggio. La nona. Il governo israeliano presenta le memorie come materiale classificato, inaccessibile alla FPA e ai suoi legali. La FPA non può replicare ad argomenti che non conosce. «I rinvii hanno reso ridicolo il processo legale», ha dichiarato Tania Kraemer, presidente della FPA. «È ora che i giudici mettano fine a tutto questo.» Si sono uniti come amici della corte il CPJ, RSF e l'Unione dei giornalisti in Israele. Le ragioni del divieto si sono aggiornate: prima i combattimenti, poi gli ostaggi, infine la guerra con l'Iran. Thibaut Bruttin, direttore generale di RSF, ha scritto che il governo punta a posticipare «l'ingresso dei reporter» perché sa che una sentenza favorevole cambierebbe l'opinione pubblica mondiale. Oltre 220 giornalisti palestinesi sono stati uccisi a Gaza. Almeno 70, secondo RSF, erano stati identificati come obiettivi. Il 16 aprile Ciriani ha confermato alla Camera la sospensione del rinnovo del memorandum di cooperazione militare con Israele. La lettera è stata inviata da Crosetto a Israel Katz il 13 aprile. Il testo non è pubblico. Il deputato M5S Pellegrini ha depositato richiesta formale per accedervi in Commissione Difesa. Ieri le prime imbarcazioni della Global Sumud Flotilla sono salpate da Barcellona verso la Sicilia, con Open Arms e la Arctic Sunrise di Greenpeace. Partenza per Gaza il 24 aprile da Siracusa. «Il buio di Gaza non è un effetto collaterale», ha scritto il CPJ il 13 aprile. «È una scelta.» #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

In this message, Ps. Alan unpacks the true meaning of the gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ. From creation to the fall, from sin to salvation, this sermon explains why the world is broken and how God has made a way to restore us through His Son. Discover how sin separates us from God, why the cross was necessary, and how Jesus' death and resurrection bring forgiveness, freedom, and new life. This message also explores what it means to be born again, to receive the Holy Spirit, and to step into a new identity as part of God's family. A powerful and practical teaching that equips you to understand, live, and share the gospel with confidence.

In this message from Luke 24, we follow the journey of two disciples who had lost all hope, until they encountered the risen Jesus. What once felt like confusion, disappointment, and despair is transformed as Christ restores what was broken. This sermon explores how hope can lose its goal, pathway, meaning, and support, but how Jesus meets us in those moments to rebuild and renew. He doesn't just give hope — He is our hope. A powerful reminder that no matter how lost things may feel, Jesus restores hope, renews purpose, and brings life where it once seemed impossible.

This week, we look at Matthew Ch. 11 and the tension between who people expected Jesus to be and who He actually is. As the crowds cry “Hosanna,” longing for rescue, Jesus moves not toward political victory, but toward the cross. It's a reminder that we often struggle when Jesus doesn't follow our script. We […] The post Matthew 11 – Questions, Critics, and the Open Arms of Jesus appeared first on Sierra Bible Church.

In this message from Acts 6, we see how the early church stayed focused on what mattered most in the midst of growth, pressure, and distraction. As challenges arose, they remained committed to prayer and the Word. This sermon reminds us that true impact comes from a life marked by God's grace, power, and wisdom, living out a faith that is both Spirit-filled and active. A simple but powerful call to keep Christ first, above all else.

In this message, Ps. Brian Somerville challenges us to confront the gap between how our faith appears and how it truly is. Drawing from Joshua 7 and Acts 5, we see how hidden sin can affect not just our lives, but the whole community. This sermon calls us to live with honesty before God, naming our truth, confessing what's hidden, and rooting our identity in Christ. A powerful reminder that real freedom is found in truth, not appearance.

Dr. Shannon Connolly, Dr. Shayne Poulin, and Dr. Amy Tressan found each other inside Melody Health, a mission-driven primary care practice embedded within Planned Parenthood, serving more than 13,000 patients across seven health centers in Orange County, California.

Using the example of marriage, we see how Jesus lovingly leads, saves, and sacrifices Himself for His people. This sermon highlights Christ as the head of the church, the one who gave Himself to redeem and restore His people, and the one who continues to care for and strengthen His body. A powerful reminder of the value of the church and the incredible love Jesus has for it.

La guerra de Estados Unidos e Israel iniciada contra Irán ha abierto una nueva fase de inestabilidad en Oriente Próximo. Pero los conflictos no se quedan en los mapas estratégicos: también empujan a miles de personas a huir.

In this message from Acts 4, we see how the early church faced opposition yet continued to grow with boldness and power. When Peter and John are challenged for preaching in the name of Jesus, they refuse to stay silent, declaring that salvation is found in no one else. This sermon highlights how courage comes from being with Jesus, how pressure drives the church to prayer, and how unity releases God's power. A powerful reminder that when the Spirit fills God's people, the church becomes unstoppable.

From Acts 3, this message shows how a Spirit-empowered church moves from revival to action. A man lame from birth is healed in the name of Jesus, shifting the atmosphere from paralysis to praise. The miracle becomes a message, calling people to repent and experience times of refreshing from the Lord. A powerful reminder that what we carry in Christ is greater than silver or gold. It's time to rise up.

In this message from Acts 2, we see how the Holy Spirit transforms ordinary, burdened people into bold and empowered witnesses. The wind brings power, the fire brings purity, and the Spirit gives purpose. This sermon reminds us that we don't need more effort, we need more of the Spirit. A clear call to be filled, refined, and empowered to build bridges and live on mission for God.

In this message, Ps. Brian unpacks Acts 2 and shows why Pentecost is not just a historical moment, but a power we can trust today. Rooted in the resurrection and ascension of Jesus, Pentecost reveals how the exalted Christ pours out His Spirit and remains actively present in the world. From the cross that removes guilt, to the resurrection that defeats death, to the ascension that establishes Christ's lordship, Pentecost brings God home to His people. It marks the birth of the Church and the moment mission moves from human resolve to divine power. In a world filled with competing voices and fragile authority, this message reveals an authority we can trust and a transforming power even the sceptic can see.

This message launches the new series The Church – From Revival to Revolution, exploring the birth of the Church and the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. Drawing from Acts 1–2, we see how Jesus prepared His disciples to move from waiting to witnessing, from revival to revolution, through the baptism and power of the Holy Spirit. This sermon unpacks God's redemptive timeline, the promise of the Spirit, and the call for believers to live empowered lives, equipped, emboldened, and sent to impact their world for the Kingdom of God. A foundational message on the Kingdom of God, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and the power we receive to be Christ's witnesses everywhere.

In this message, Ps. Sean Booth unpacks Jesus' words to the church in Laodicea, challenging us to confront lukewarm faith and spiritual complacency. Drawing from Revelation 3:14–21, this sermon calls the Church to repent, run after God with renewed passion, recognise His voice, and open the door to deeper fellowship with Him. A stirring reminder that we are called to live refined, restored, and fully on fire for God.

In this message, Ps. Sean Booth explore what it truly means to honour God by giving Him our first and best. Drawing from Genesis 4, Proverbs 3, and Matthew 6, this teaching reveals that generosity is not just about what we give, but the context of our heart and the priority we place on God in our lives. Through the story of Cain and Abel, we see that giving God our first requires faith, reflects obedience, and positions us for His favour and direction. This message ultimately points us to the greatest example of generosity, God giving His first for us through Jesus Christ.

In this message, Ps. Sean Booth explores the heart of generosity and how it brings breakthrough by enlarging our world. Drawing from Proverbs 11:24–25 and 2 Corinthians 9:6, he shows that generosity is not limited to finances, but is a posture of spirit, speech, and action, expressed through our time, talents, resources, and words. This short message encourages us to sow generously, bless others, and discover the abundance that flows from living with a generous heart.

In this message, Pastor Brian Somerville explores the active nature of God's love revealed in the incarnation of Jesus Christ.

Hope can feel fragile when prayers go unanswered and waiting feels endless. In this Advent message on Hope, Ps. Josh Hall explores Luke 1 through the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth.

What does it really mean to follow Jesus with no reservations? In this message, Ps. Larry Brey explores powerful moments from the Gospels where Jesus calls people to radical obedience, deep faith, and wholehearted commitment.

In this episode, we sit down with Hannah Kurtz, a pastor's wife, homeschool mama, and soon-to-be mom of six, to share the twists and turns of her family's ministry journey. Hannah and her husband, Thor, began full-time ministry in 2017, eventually following a mission-trip “divine detour” to Lincoln, Illinois, where Thor now serves as the youth pastor at Open Arms.Hannah opens up about their transition to a new church—including the unique challenge of living on a college campus in the middle of being converted into their church campus. She shares honestly about grieving the move, navigating ministry on unfamiliar ground, and the quiet emotional weight pastors' wives often carry.With humor (yes, Thor collects strange items just to scare people), warmth, and deep faith, Hannah talks about community support, prayer, and the unexpected joy of watching God's provision—like her son praying for a baby brother before they even knew one was coming. Her story is full of resilience, hope, and the reminder that ministry transitions are hard… but never walked alone.Key TakeawaysA mission trip led them to an unexpected new calling in Lincoln, IL.They lived on a college campus while it was being transformed into the church campus.Transitioning to a new church brought emotional challenges and grief.Community support is essential for pastors and their families.Prayer played a major role in their family's story—from ministry decisions to a son praying for a baby brother.Having a strong network of pastors' wives makes all the difference.God's faithfulness is evident in every twist, detour, and new beginning.Get all the info about our next pastors' wives retreat and apply here:https://www.pastorswivestellall.com/attendaretreatTo purchase the BOOK, head here: ⁠https://pastorswivestellall.com/book⁠⁠To shop our MERCH, head here: ⁠https://pastorswivestellall.com/shop⁠⁠Want to support the Pastors' Wives Tell All podcast ministry?

In this message from The Journey of Jesus series, Ps. Sean Booth unpacks Matthew 28:1–10 to show that Jesus Himself is our joy. Our joy isn't anchored in circumstance but in Christ, the One who redeems our past, strengthens us in the present, and calls us forward into His purpose. Through Philippians 3 and 4, we're reminded to press on, pursue His call, and share the joy of Jesus with others.

In this message, Ps. Sean Booth unpacks Matthew 27:45–54 and the power of the cross, where darkness fell, the veil tore, and Jesus declared the saving work finished. At the cross, sin is judged, freedom is won, and grace, healing, and hope are released. Through Christ's sacrifice we are forgiven, restored, and invited to live in the fullness of God's presence.

In this message from Matthew 27, Ps. Brian Somerville shows how the journey of Jesus toward the cross becomes our journey toward healing. Where Peter's faith collapses and hope seems lost, Joseph of Arimathea steps out of secrecy and into courageous faith. Scripture reveals a pattern: healing begins not when we run from pain, but when we bring it honestly before God. Discover how turning toward your wounds, rather than away from them, becomes the very path where restoration, hope, and renewed faith are found.  

In this message from Matthew 26:17–30, Pastor Brian Somerville shows how Jesus becomes our New Passover, the perfect Lamb who brings true freedom, not from Egypt, but from sin.

In today's episode, host Hunter guides us through day 150 of our journey, exploring Proverbs chapters 10-12 and Romans chapter 10. Together, we reflect on wisdom, integrity, generosity, and Paul's reminder that God's arms are always open to us. Hunter encourages us to embrace the love God freely offers, live a life rooted in gratitude, and share that thankfulness with those around us. Join us for a time of scripture, prayer, and reflection as we discover how God's love transforms our daily lives. Let's dive in! TODAY'S DEVOTION: Open Arms I love how Paul ends his chapter where he says, regarding Israel, All day long, I have opened my arms to them. Open arms. That's the picture Paul wants to leave us with. God's arms are open, always embracing, always drawing us in, always pursuing us, all day long. And, of course, it is entirely right for us to make the application not only for Israel, but for us, for the world. God's arms are open all day long. And, of course, that is revealed in its most perfect expression in the life of our Lord Jesus—his arms spread wide open on that cross, embracing the world. For God so loved the world that he gave himself. My prayer today is that I will live each and every day of my life fully aware, fully convinced, fully embracing the God who has embraced me. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Almighty and ever loving god, you have brought us to the light of a new morning. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your holy spirit that we may walk this day in peace. Guard our steps from temptation. Shield us from the weight of fear and shame, and lead us deeper into the joy of your presence through Jesus Christ our lord. Amen. Oh Christ, light of the nations, shine in every place where shadows dwell. Call the scattered home. Heal the wounds of division, and gather all people into the communion of your grace. May the knowledge of the lord cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Amen. And now, lord, make my hands ready for mercy. Make my eyes quick to see the hurting, my ears open to the cry of the lonely, and my feet swift to bring good news. Let me seek to bless, not to be noticed, to serve, not to be praised, to forgive, not to hold back. For in your way is life, in your mercy is healing, and in your love is the peace this world cannot give. 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 trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. 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  

We're celebrating our 10th anniversary all year by digging in the vaults to re-present classic episodes with fresh commentary. Today, we're revisiting our 2021 conversation with Steve Perry. ABOUT STEVE PERRYOne of the most iconic voices in rock music history, Steve Perry is best known as the lead singer of the band Journey during the group's most successful period. His first Top 20 pop hit as either a performer or songwriter was the solo-written “Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin',” which became a hit for the band in 1979. In the following decade he co-wrote an unbelievable streak of classic songs with Neil Shon and Jonathan Cain, including “Any Way You Want It,” “Who's Crying Now,” “Open Arms,” “Separate Ways,” ”Send Her My Love,” and “Don't Stop Believin',” a single that's been certified five times platinum. His 1984 debut solo album Street Talk produced the classic singles “Oh Sherrie” and “Foolish Heart.” After penning additional Journey hits “Be Good to Yourself,” “Girl Can't Help It,” and “I'll be Alright Without You” he departed the band and released his second solo album, For the Love of Strange Medicine, featuring the single “You Better Wait.” After briefly reuniting with Journey and co-writing the additional hits “When You Love a Woman” and “Message of Love” in the mid-1990s, he stepped away from recording. Steve returned in 2018 with his third solo album, Traces. In 2021 he released his fourth solo record, a holiday collection called The Season, produced by Steve and Thom Flowers, and featuring contributions from multi-instrumentalist Dallas Kruse. The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, whom Rolling Stone magazine named among the “100 Greatest Singers of All Time” joins us to talk about exploring the great American Christmas songbook from a writer's perspective, to share some stories about his own songs, and to offer some insight into his approach to the craft.

My friend Aiden Kelly (he/him, trans man, age 23, future in theatre) and my friend Annalee Kelly (married mother of 4, RM, active LDS, from Idaho Falls) join us to share their story. Aiden starts and talks about: Immense pain of gender dysphoria Writing in his journal—and sharing that journal entry with his mother as a way to come out as a boy Knowing sharing his pain with others would be key to getting help and making his future possible How hormone treatment and top surgery ended the pain and have him hope Parents support Glad he is alive. Has hope and a future. Advice to others who are suicidal/have no hope. Annalee then shares about: The long-term hatred Aiden had for his body (hair pulling, pounding on his chest, etc) Asking advice from his Bishop (good experience) Had to put Aiden's life ahead of my original dreams/hopes Generally positive ward and family support Starting Open Arms of Idaho Pain of the August 2025 transgender handbook policy update “Aiden is a masterpiece” Aiden's Father support Aiden is one of my heroes—a brave, talented, a good man—with a wonderful future. I'm glad you are alive Aiden and thank you for your courage to share your story. You give hope to others. And thank you Annalee for helping us know we can love and support our LGBTQ friends and family—and how that is part of responsibility as Latter-day Saints and followers of Jesus. Thank you for all the work you and your team is doing in the Idaho Falls area to bring more love and understanding. You are all some of my heroes. You are a beautiful family. And your story will help so many.
