08.17.25.Being.intentional.in.the.Kingdom.Tim.McCool Today, many think that the Lord is coming back to set up a kingdom on the earth. That is the same thinking of the Jewish nation when Jesus came and set up His kingdom 2000 years ago. Our Savior established His kingdom almost 2000 years ago. It is life-changing for His children when this …

With Persian King Artaxerxes' permission and timber in hand, Nehemiah reaches Jerusalem, surveys the ruined walls by night, and calls to the remnant: “Let us rise up and build.” Mockery from Sanballat, Tobiah, and Geshem (symbolizing the enemies of God's people on all sides) hears from a confident Nehemiah, “The God of heaven will make us prosper!” This section demonstrates prudent planning, courageous leadership, and trust in God for success.  The Rev. Peter Burfeind, pastor of Our Savior Lutheran Church in Union City, MI, and Agnus Dei Lutheran Church in Marshall, MI, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Nehemiah 2.  To learn more about Our Savior and Agnus Dei, visit facebook.com/oursaviorunioncity and agnusdeimarshall.com From rubble to renewal, Nehemiah shows how the Lord rebuilds not just walls but hearts.

Today's conversation on Back Porch Theology we're talking about the spiritual discipline of fasting – the willingness to forgo food, or social media, or some other physical or emotional comfort in order to focus more of our attention and affection on God. One of my favorite ancient theologians, Thomas A'Kempis, wrote this in his classic book “The Imitation of Christ”: True peace of heart therefore is found by resisting our passions, not by obeying them. Our Savior is the only One who can master us without abusing us. And sometimes, allowing ourselves to feel physical hunger pains is what prompts us to lean more fully into Jesus to satisfy the spiritual hunger in our hearts and minds. We're diving in pretty deep today y'all, so please grab a tall glass of something refreshing, along with your Bible and a notebook or sticky pad and come hang out on the porch with us. We're so grateful we get to spend this time with you.

Because being the Christ means that Jesus must suffer death and rise again, we must embrace and follow Him as suffering Savior before we can know Him as glorified King. I.

This Sunday's Inspirational Message is:  Counting The Cost Welcome to "Serving Jesus Christ," the podcast from Our Savior's Free Lutheran Church in Argyle, Minnesota. I'm Pastor Warren Swanson, and today we're diving deep into Luke 14:25-35. This passage is a gut-check for anyone who claims to follow Jesus. It's not about casual faith or half-hearted commitment—it's about giving everything to Him. Jesus speaks to the crowds, demanding they hate family and self in comparison to loving Him, carry their cross, count the cost like a builder planning a tower or a king preparing for war, and renounce all possessions to be His disciples. The salty finish reminds us to stay useful for God's kingdom, or risk being cast aside. Here's the thing: in our distracted, fast-paced world, this passage forces us to pause and ask, “Are we truly disciples, or just fans of Jesus?” The big idea is that genuine discipleship demands unwavering allegiance to Christ above everything else. * * * * * Once again, thanks for joining us in our time of worshiping the Lord through His Word!

God is: Our Savior by High Street Church

Alexis A. Goring reminds us that when we mess up, God meets us with compassion, grace, and mercy—not condemnation. Reflecting on a personal story from her time at Williams-Sonoma, Alexis draws a beautiful parallel to how God gently asks, “Are you okay?” before addressing our mistakes. Through Scripture and the inspiring song “Savior to Me” by Kerrie Roberts, she highlights God’s enduring love and His desire to restore what feels broken. ✨ Highlights The power of compassion over condemnation when we make mistakes How God’s heart is like a caring friend who checks on us first (“Are you okay?”) Biblical assurance of God’s mercy and grace that renews every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23) The hope found in Jesus Christ, the Savior who understands our pain and restores us A reminder that God can heal what we thought was permanently broken

In Matthew 3:17 God consecrates His Son. Here Dr. Mitchell says, Jesus is the ground of His Father's delight.In Mt. 4:1-4, we see the temptation of the Son of God, the Messiah, Jesus. Our Savior was tested as a man, as the Messiah, and finally as God.Dr. Mitchell says, Jesus successfully proved His moral right to the throne. He points out,-- these 3 temptations are the same temptations Adam and Eve faced in the Garden of Eden. Dr. Mitchell says, We are all tested by temptations as to the grace of God, the Word of God, and the Person of God. Jesus' temptations show the Savior utilizing the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. After each temptation by the devil, Jesus quotes Scripture to deflect that temptation and to confront the devil with the truth.Here on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, is Dr. Mitchell, Matthew 3:17.

In this audio, I share what Messiah declares about the House of Judah.Many people proclaim that the Jews are God's Chosen People and House of Judah absolutely was blessed to bring forth the promised Messiah. But either people haven't read the whole Word or their thinking is so skewed that when they read the following declarations against the unbelieving Jews by Messiah, they're unable to see the truth.Our Savior foretold the judgment of the House of Judah in His Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24, which I explain in The Olivet Discourse Decoded video series.Here's a link to the 4-page PDF which helps Jews see that their promised Messiah has already come: https://bibleprophecydecoded.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Yeshua-Ministry-Proof.pdfOn the www.BibleProphecyDecoded.com website you will find one-page PDF summaries that you can save and print, links to videos, links to request free copies of the prophecy fulfillment books, and links to order printed copies.

A new MP3 sermon from Bethel Baptist Church - St. Charles, IL is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Our Savior, the Man of Sorrows Subtitle: Devotionals Speaker: Jay Smith Broadcaster: Bethel Baptist Church - St. Charles, IL Event: Devotional Date: 7/27/2025 Bible: Isaiah 53:3-6 Length: 4 min.

The sighs of Jesus--brief yet profound--reveal more about His heart than many lengthy sermons ever could. They are not the sighs of weariness or despair, but of holy sorrow and tender compassion. In the space of just two chapters in Mark's Gospel, we hear our Lord sigh twice--once over human suffering, and once over human sin. Both sighs speak volumes of the Savior's perfect heart. Mark 7:34, "He looked up to Heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, 'Ephphatha!' (which means, 'Be opened!')." In Mark 7:34, Jesus heals a man who is deaf and mute. Before speaking the word of healing, He looks up to Heaven and sighs. Why? Because He sees beyond the man's immediate affliction. He sees the deeper cause--the brokenness of a world cursed by sin. Every disease, every disability, every tear, is a consequence of mankind's fall into sin. Jesus does not sigh in frustration but in sympathetic grief. He feels the weight of this man's misery, and through that sigh, He enters into it. Our Savior is not distant or unsympathetic. He is "a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering." (Isaiah 53:3) Every sigh of the suffering believer, finds a sympathetic echo in the soul of the Son of God. Mark 8, verse 12 tells us, "He sighed deeply and said, 'Why does this generation ask for a miraculous sign?'" In Mark 8, however, the sigh is different. The Pharisees demand a sign--though they have seen countless miracles already. Their request does not spring from faith, but from unbelief and obstinacy. And so Jesus sighs deeply. This is not the sigh of grief over physical suffering, but over spiritual blindness--a willful refusal to believe. It is the sigh of divine sorrow over hardened

Friends of the Rosary,Today, on the Saturday following the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we celebrate the Memorial of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.From the beginning of Christianity, the love and virtues of the Heart of Mary have early attracted the attention of the faithful.Simeon's prophecy paved the way for devotion when he said that the heart would be pierced with a sword.In 1944, during the midst of World War II, Pope Pius XII consecrated the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, placing it under the special protection of the Mother of Our Savior.Pius IX instituted the feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary for the whole Church, to obtain by her intercession "peace among nations, freedom for the Church, the conversion of sinners, the love of purity and the practice of virtue" (Decree of May 4, 1944).The day after refoijing in the burning love of the Sacred Heart, we honor the Immaculate Heart of the woman who gave Jesus his humanity.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Greetings, Europe, and thank you for listening.

But he doesn't ask it. He says: "Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him." John 2:2Jesus, however, goes straight to the point, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 3:3Since we know:"Even before there is a word on my tongue, Behold, O LORD, Thou dost know it all." Psalm 139:4And"For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do. Hebrews 4:12-13Our So What?Our Savior calls us to honest, sincere communion with Him. We have no need to hide our deepest desires; after all, He already knows them.

Luke 23:26-49 The post Our Savior and His Salvation appeared first on Grace Church Greeley.

When Jesus comes into our lives, we are never the same! David Ruffin discovered that reality when Jesus delivered him from alcoholism and homelessness. Our Savior brings people out of addiction, depravity, pain, and brokenness. Praise Jesus for His life-changing love!

Our Savior's description of the the Good Shepherd is more than a sentimental image. Our Savior's rescue, and His strong grip, with which He holds you, is real. There's tremendous comfort in hearing that nothing can snatch us from it.

May 11, 2025 Jesus would have us know him as the Good Shepherd. We need to listen to him by receiving his teaching. We need to follow him by living out his teaching. Our Savior is no mere prophet but the Son of God. He is to be worshiped now and throughout eternity. Scripture: John ... [Read more...]

Send us a textGood morning! Thank you for taking a few minutes to listen. If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comJohn 21 Jesus appears a third time to His disciples, this time at the Sea of Tiberias. Peter, and several others, fish throughout the night and catch nothing. From the beach, Jesus tells them to lower their nets once again, and they come up with 153 fish. Peter jumps in and swims to see Jesus. The rest of the men also hurry back to the shore, and they all enjoy breakfast with Him. Jesus emphatically instructs Peter to show love for Him by tending His sheep, which is a reference to Christ's followers. Peter, along with all the Apostles, would suffer, even to death, as they devote the rest of their lives to following Jesus. The author of this letter is John, who is one of the Apostles with Jesus on that beach.  Jesus is the Son of God. He had just risen from the dead, and He was about to ascend into heaven. And yet, he took the time to visit disciples on the beach and have breakfast with them. He shared with them what He expected of them and what troubles would soon come. Our Savior is infinitely greater and more important than His followers, and yet He devotes time to them. He sits and eats with them. He shows great patience with them. This is our Lord, and this is how much He loves each one of us. What He asks in return is simple: love Him, help His people, and follow Him in whatever direction He leads us.  Great God of heaven, we have read the words of the Apostle John, an eyewitness to the life of Jesus, and we believe His testimony. From this letter, You have shown us that Jesus is Your Son, that He is both powerful and kind, and that He is worthy to be followed. He cares for us, and He has an important mission for our lives. Help us to know our mission, and to engage in it with the people You put in our path. Make us fishers of men and teach us how to help tend Your Son's sheep.   Thought Questions: -       Jesus told Peter three times to “tend My sheep.” How has the good Shepherd challenged us to take care of His sheep until He returns? -       How should your relationship with Jesus resemble sitting with Him at breakfast and being told by Him how to love and serve Him today? -       John could have written many more things about Jesus. But why did He write this gospel, and what does it teach you about Christ?

If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comJohn 18 Jesus takes His Apostles into a garden, where Judas and Roman officers come to arrest Him. Peter cuts off a soldier's ear, but Jesus replaces it and goes with the soldiers peacefully. Peter and John follow closely behind as Jesus is taken before Annas, and then Caiaphas, the high priest that year. Peter is then questioned concerning Jesus, and he denies Him three times. The Jewish priests lead Jesus to Pilate since they need Roman approval to put Him to death. Pilate asks Jesus if He is the King of the Jews. Jesus responds by stating that His kingdom is not of this world. Ultimately, Pilate sees no guilt in Jesus. He asks the Jews if he should release Him, but they demand that a convicted robber be released instead.  There is an incredible calmness in Jesus as the time of His death approaches. When Peter injures a soldier, Jesus heals the man. When soldiers seek to arrest Him, Jesus simply asks that His followers be left alone. When questioned by the Jewish leaders, He answers by stating that He has kept no secrets in His ministry. As Pilate berates Him with questions, He answers with peaceable, spiritual, truthful answers. Meanwhile, Peter denies Him, and most of the Apostles are nowhere to be found. Our Savior is at peace with His purpose and with the sacrifice He would offer for the world. Peter and the Apostles became much more like Jesus after the resurrection. This should be our goal as well.  Gracious Lord, thank You for Jesus. His confidence and calmness establish Him as a King we are privileged to follow. Even in the fires of persecution, He was focused and holy. He answered even His most vicious accusers with dignity. Lord, teach us how to be more like Your Son. We all falter at times, resembling Peter's fear and doubt. Father, we plead for Your mercy and ask You to humble us and make us more devoted students of Jesus. His resolve to accomplish Your work has brought blessings to us all. Lead us to be more like our Savior.   Thought Questions: -       Why did Peter lash out at the soldier? Can outbursts and quick reactions be a symptom of a faith that needs some work? -       What are situations in your life where you need to have calm, confident responses like Jesus did throughout this chapter? -       Pilate asks a fateful question: “What is truth?” Is Jesus the answer to that question for you, and what does He mean in your life?

Jesus hears that Lazarus is sick and informs His disciples that this illness will bring glory to God. Jesus delays His trip to Bethany, knowing that Lazarus will die and then be raised from the dead. As He approaches the village, Jesus tells Martha her brother will rise again. Jesus follows this by announcing Himself as “the resurrection and the life.” He then calls for Mary and weeps as he sees her despair over her brother's death. Jesus then raises Lazarus from the tomb. This results in more people believing in Jesus. The Jewish leaders, however, are confounded on how to handle Jesus. By the prophecy of high priest Caiaphas, they plan to put Him to death.  John's Gospel includes seven miracles from Jesus' ministry. No miracle of Jesus is greater than raising Lazarus from the dead. This proves His power over life and death. His death and resurrection would also confirm this power. We can live by faith, without fear of death, knowing that Christ will revive us again and give us eternal life. Even though death has no power over Him, Jesus still weeps at the sorrow of people who mourn their loss. Our Savior's miraculous might does not diminish His compassion for His people. Sadly, the Jewish leaders would not believe in the saving power of Jesus, as they wanted lives free of His influence. We must never give in to such a devastating decision.    Benevolent Father, You always provide what we need and bless us with Your mercy. We trust You in life, but Father, we pray to also do so in the face of death. We thank You for the ministry of Jesus and the scope of His power. Of all that He has done, we treasure most His victory over death. Since He raised Lazarus from the grave, we know that death is not the end for us. Help us to take comfort in this during our lives, but also that we keep the faith through to the end, knowing eternity is coming.  Thought Questions: -       Jesus loved Lazarus and his family. And yet, Jesus allowed him to die. Why? And how can that bring comfort to us in times of loss? -       Do you have faith that a believer “will live even if he dies”? How does eternal life in Christ shape the way you make daily decisions? -       Jewish leaders wanted to kill Jesus because they feared Rome's involvement. How is faith impossible if you fear worldly forces? 

God inputs His glory in us through Jesus Christ, Our Savior and Lord.

Sermon Summary:On Palm Sunday, we explored the Triumphal Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem from John 12:12-19. This pivotal event, recorded in all four gospels, reveals profound truths about our hope and expectations. As Jesus entered Jerusalem during Passover, the city was bursting with Jews who had traveled there to celebrate. The crowds welcomed him with palm branches (symbols of national victory) and shouts of "Hosanna!" (meaning "save us now"), revealing their hope for a nationalist Messiah who would overthrow Roman rule.However, Jesus intentionally chose to ride a young donkey, fulfilling Zechariah's prophecy about a humble king who would bring peace to all nations. This deliberate choice contradicted the crowd's nationalistic expectations. While they wanted a warrior-king like David, Jesus was demonstrating that his kingdom transcended national boundaries.We highlighted two key lessons from this passage. First, nationalism doesn't belong in the church. When we confuse patriotism with our faith or believe our hope comes from human leaders rather than Christ, we risk missing God's work among us. Our Savior doesn't reside in government buildings but is often found among the marginalized.Second, we must be vigilant not to miss God's presence right before us. The religious leaders of Jesus' day knew Scripture intimately yet failed to recognize God incarnate walking among them. In Luke's account, Jesus weeps over Jerusalem because they "did not recognize the time of God's coming."As we approach Easter, we should examine where we're placing our hope—in finances, family, nation, or the living God? We're challenged to tangibly meet a neighbor's needs this week, following Jesus' example of service and remaining attentive to how God is moving in our midst today.

What are the causes of Passion? Many parties alive during Our Lord's lifetime bear some responsibility for His suffering. However, if we look deeper into this mystery, we see that it is our iniquities that brought about Our Savior's Passion and His ignominious death on the Cross.

The Clockwork Defamation of Jesus and Mary is on Schedule.  Why do the corporate media regularly slime Our Savior and His Mother with libels and blasphemy around Christmas, and during the season of Lent prior to Easter? In today's study we document numerous examples of lies and defamation heaped on Jesus and Mary in the pages of the NY Times, the New Yorker magazine, the Washington Post and Hollywood. Anti-Christian defamation, though presented under the guise of academic research is often indistinguishable from hate speech. Christians have the human right to be free of defamation.

In this uplifting devotional, we explore the powerful truth that when people walk out of our lives, God walks in. Using Deuteronomy 31:8 as a foundation, we reflect on how God is always present, offering support, love, and healing even in our darkest moments. We discuss how Jesus empathizes with our struggles and invites us to maintain an open line of communication with Him. Experience the transformative power of God’s presence in your life, and discover how He can turn your brokenness into beauty. Join the Conversation:We want to hear from you! How does it feel to know that when people walk out of your life, God walks in and rescues you? Will you trust Jesus Christ to be your light in the darkness? Share your thoughts and experiences with us on social media @LifeaudioNetwork or via email. Let’s support one another as we grow in faith!

The garden of Gethsemane reveals encouraging truths about suffering that can transform how Christians navigate their own pain. Two profound insights lie hidden in this familiar passage: Jesus knows the solution before we even encounter the problem, and God deliberately preserved the details of Jesus' suffering so we would know our pain is never foreign to him.• Jesus went to pray "as was his custom" even facing his darkest hour• An angel strengthened Jesus, yet he remained in agony• Supernatural support from God doesn't always end our difficulties but enables us to endure them• Five elements of a (non-exhaustive) Christian doctrine of suffering: it's promised, unites us with Christ, equips us to comfort others, deepens our dependence on God, and produces spiritual growth• Suffering has purpose—it produces endurance, character, and hope• Jesus moved from confidence to conflict and back to confidence again• Peter's denial was met not with rejection but with Jesus' gaze of love• God specially preserved the intimate details of Jesus' suffering that no disciple witnessed• Jesus understands our suffering firsthand—he has carried every grief and sorrow• Our Savior holds the fix before the failure ever occurs If you want to learn more about the MidTree story or connect with us, go to our website HERE or text us at 812-MID-TREE.

The fourth lesson in God's Word For Life: Jesus, Our Savior taught by Pastor Matt Cottrill on Sunday, March 16th 2025

How does understanding the interconnected purposes of the sacrament, as presented in Doctrine & Covenants 27, deepen our appreciation for this sacred ordinance? In this episode Matthew O. Richardson, professor of Church history and doctrine, discusses several key themes and gospel principles related to the ordinance of the sacrament. He presents three specific purposes: remembering the past, specifically the Atonement and Resurrection of Jesus Christ; looking forward to future redemption; and providing safety and protection in the present. Further, he discusses the historical context and symbolism of the sacramental emblems and connects them to putting on the armor of God and illustrates its role in providing spiritual protection. In understanding the symbolism of these emblems, we can enhance our worship experience and foster a closer relationship with the Savior.     Publications:  “Sacramental Connections: Deliverance, Redemption, and Safety (Doctrine & Covenants 27)” originally published in You Shall Have My Word: Exploring the Text of the Doctrine and Covenants (Religious Studies Center, 2012)  “We Have Now Received the Atonement” in Shedding Light on the New Testament: Acts—Revelation (Religious Studies Center, 2009)  “The Savior's Love” in Our Savior's Love: Hope & Healing in Christ (Religious Studies Center, 2015)  “Losing the Sacred Perspective: Social Ethics and Character Development” in Moral Foundations: Standing Firm in a World of Shifting Values (Religious Studies Center, 2008)    Click here to learn more about Matthew O.

EPISODE 456 | The 7 Pitfalls to a Transfigured LifeAre you stuck in the same cycles, longing for real spiritual growth but unsure how to break through? In this powerful episode of IGNITE Radio Live, we dive into seven pitfalls that keep us from true transformation, inspired by the Transfiguration of Christ.Too often, we think holiness is for someone else, that we need to "get it together" before God can work in us, or that prayer is about getting what we want rather than becoming who we are meant to be. The enemy thrives on these lies, keeping us trapped in shame, distraction, and fear of change.We expose these tactics head-on—through real-world connections, compelling stories, psychological insights, and practical action steps—so you can break free and step into the life God is calling you to live.Tune in for bold, honest conversation on what holds us back—and how to move forward.

The third lesson in God's Word For Life: Jesus, Our Savior taught by Steve Hoese on Sunday, March 9th 2025

Title: Languaging in Hampton RoadsEpisode 14: Voices of Faith in Hampton RoadsHosts: Jill Winkowski and Prue SalaskyDate: March 5, 2025Length: 48:50Publication Frequency: Fourth Friday (approx) of each monthIn this episode we interview several pastors, all first-generation immigrants, who minister to their flocks in the native language of their country of origin.The interviews are with Pastor Echo Lin from the Shanghai region of mainland China, who leads services in Mandarin at the more than 100-year-old independent First Chinese Baptist Church in Virginia Beach; Father Joseph Nguyen who ministers to two Catholic Vietnamese congregations, Our Lady of LaVang Catholic Church in Norfolk, and Our Lady of Vietnam Catholic Church in Hampton ; and with Luke Do, Senior Pastor of Peninsula Korean Baptist Church in Newport News.(We also talked to Pastor Trung Phan, leader of Hope Vietnamese Church in Annandale, Va. Time and geographical constraints meant we weren't able to include his interview; we will run it as bonus material at a future date.)From our interviews, we learned about the changing role of the church in each community, the importance of language for identity, the generational rifts as assimilation occurs -- and what the future of ethnic-centered churches might be as globalization and technology reduce differences.We did not address the use of traditional liturgical languages, such as Latin, Arabic, Hebrew, and Koine Greek, all of which are represented in Hampton Roads. Nor did we cover the multiple Spanish-speaking churches, by far the largest segment of non-English services in the region. Instead, we focused primarily on Asian-led churches that minister to their communities through the use of the vernacular. In talking to ministers at Korean, Vietnamese and Chinese churches we learned not only about immigration patterns in the region, but also the ealier history of colonization and missionary activity. We learned in many cases that faith was secondary to a sense of community and cultural belonging.Our interest in the topic was sparked by a sign for the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, Mehane Hiwot Abune Gebre Menfes Kidus, in the Park Place neighborhood of Norfolk . We learned that the Norfolk church, started in 2013, is part of one of the most ancient branches of Christianity, part of the Coptic tradition dating back to 300 AD. Priest Teshome Yohannes Feleke presides over a congregation of 200 drawn from throughout Hampton Roads. Services are in a combination of Ge'ez, the ancient liturgical language, and Amharic, Ethiopia's everyday language that evolved from it. (Plug in the church's name to find beautiful chanting on YouTube.) The church is celebrating its renovation with a grand re-opening on March 14/15.We also discovered Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Norge, which once held services in Norwegian. Today the language is no longer used, but the church is the proud possessor of a Norwegian Bible donated by Norway's royal family in 1939. We also learned that Norge is actually the name for Norway in Norwegian, a tribute to its original Scandinavian settlers at the turn of the 20th century!As you can gather, it's a very rich topic and we only scratched the surface of the Babel of languages used in worship in our Hampton Roads region.Please send your questions and feedback to languagingHR@gmail.com

EPISODE 455 | The 7 Keys to Overcoming TemptationTemptation is not just an obstacle—it's a battleground. This Sunday's Gospel places us in the heart of the desert, where Jesus, weakened from fasting, faces the full force of Satan's attack. If the Son of God Himself was tested, we must ask: Why does God allow temptation? What is its purpose? Is it simply a trap, or is it an opportunity—an invitation to grow stronger, to deepen our trust, to prove our love? The enemy's goal isn't just to make us sin—it's to keep us stagnant, discouraged, and disconnected from God. But Jesus doesn't just endure temptation—He overcomes it. And in doing so, He gives us the blueprint for victory. This week on IGNITE Radio Live, we break open The 7 Keys to Overcoming Temptation—practical, powerful strategies to fight back, stand firm, and come out stronger. Because the battle is real, but so is the victory. (⁠Guide Sheet⁠) We introduce IGNITE Lent: Enter Into the Heart of Our Savior, happening Thursday, March 20 at 6:30 PM at Our Lady of Lourdes.

The fourth lesson in God's Word For Life: Jesus, Our Savior taught by Pastor Matt Cottrill on Sunday, February 23rd, 2025

Psalm 23:4, "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me."The imagery in this verse is both vivid and profound, offering Christians a picture of God's presence amidst life's darkest moments. This verse has been a source of comfort to believers throughout the ages, reminding us that God's presence transforms even the darkest valleys of life, into places of safety and peace.Spurgeon writes: "Death in its substance has been removed, and only the shadow of it remains. Nobody is afraid of a shadow, for a shadow cannot stop a man's pathway even for a moment. The shadow of a dog cannot bite;the shadow of a sword cannot kill;the shadow of death cannot destroy us." Spurgeon's words compel us to view the "valley of the shadow of death" not as a place of despair, but as a path we tread under the Shepherd's watchful eye and care.This perspective echoes the words of Puritan Richard Baxter, who said, "Our Savior has sanctified all conditions of life and death to us, so that we may walk with Him through the darkest passage, as cheerfully as in the most prosperous ways." Baxter's insight reinforces the reality that Christ's presence redeems and sanctifies even the deepest trials.David's declaration, "I will fear no evil, for You are with me," is founded on his view of God's Omnipresence and Omnipotence.The Puritan Thomas Watson wrote: "Where reason cannot wade, faith must swim." Faith enables us to see that the Shepherd's protection is stronger than any evil that might surround us. When the Good Shepherd is near, fear flees.The rod and staff symbolize God's protection and

Luke's description of events that took place when Jesus was in Capernaum sound like random symptoms of life in this fallen world. However, there's one thread that ties each of these episodes together. Our Savior has come, the cure for this broken world and our sin-infected lives has arrived!
