In this week's episode, Dr. Willy Rice teaches from John 8, John 1, and John 9, unpacking Jesus' profound declaration that He is the light of the world. Through these scriptures, we explore both who Jesus is and what He can do—not just as the eternal Word through whom all things were created, but as the true light who brings life to humanity. Jesus reminds us that following Him means we will never walk in darkness, because He has come to open blind eyes and deliver prisoners from spiritual dungeons.This message challenges us to step into the light of life, holding onto the truth that no matter how empty or dark the world may seem, the true light has come and the darkness will never overcome it. Support the showFind us at!

What does it actually mean to worship? Brian From makes the case from Romans 11 and 12 that worship is far bigger than singing or a Sunday gathering — it's offering your entire body and life as a living sacrifice, every day, in every decision. From there, a genuinely fun detour into Relevant Magazine's piece on the "gospel according to Pixar," tracing surprisingly biblical themes through Toy Story, The Incredibles, WALL-E, and Inside Out — including the case that real leadership looks less like a throne and more like a foot washing. Then Randy Alcorn tackles one of the hardest questions in the Christian life: why does God permit evil and suffering, and why do so many churches fail to prepare people for it before it hits? A viral story about a lawn-mowing YouTuber whose followers raised $685,000 for a grieving widow becomes a picture of internet generosity done right. A frustrating New York Times piece on rising "gray divorce" rates among couples married 25+ years gets a pointed response: marriages don't have to drift into apathy, but it takes ongoing work at every stage. Christian ministries are using the World Cup's massive audience as an unprecedented evangelism opportunity, prompting the question of what opportunities exist in your own life. And a closing reflection on play as a spiritual discipline — and why a Christian's inability to play might reveal a view of God that's too small.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pastor Bob begins his series, The Way of Jesus, with a message from Luke 7 titled Forgive Deeply. Through the Parable of the Two Debtors, he shows that forgiveness and love are inseparably connected. We are reminded that those who recognize the depth of God's forgiveness are empowered to love others deeply. Pastor Bob challenges us to release bitterness and resentment, embrace the freedom that comes through forgiveness, and follow Jesus' example of grace and compassion.

If you would like to submit a prayer you can do so at Biblecast@tfc.org from wherever you are listening! So I want to encourage you - be ready to grab your hot coffee, grab your hot tea, and let's dive in together to God's Word.

In Luke 15, Jesus tells three unforgettable stories about a lost sheep, a lost coin, and two lost sons. Each one reveals the searching heart of God; a God who does not wait for people to clean themselves up before He comes after them. This message reminds us that there are two ways to be lost: running from God in rebellion or staying near Him with a cold, self-righteous heart. The younger son discovers grace before performance, while the older brother exposes the danger of serving God without sharing His joy. Whether you feel far from God or quietly hardened inside the Father's house, Jesus is still seeking you. The question is not whether God will welcome you home... the question is whether you will let yourself be found.Connect with us!Missioncity.church

In Matthew 13, Jesus reveals why the same Word produces different responses in different hearts. Some reject it, some receive it shallowly, and some are choked by worry and distraction. But the blessed ones hear, understand, bear fruit, and remain. This sermon asks: what kind of soil are you?Connect with us!Missioncity.church

Parents, have you been there?Your son has tears in his eyes as he shows you that he got another “D” on his math test. You start explaining why perseverance is important, but his eyes glaze over. You decide to try a different approach. “Son, did I ever tell you about the two classes I failed in middle school?” Your boy raises his eyebrows. You've piqued his interest. It's easy for us as parents to try lecturing to get our points across. But when Jesus walked on earth, he didn't give long speeches. Instead, he told stories. Use the same strategy with your son. When he's discouraged, recall a struggle you overcame when you were his age, and share that with him. You just might teach him a lesson he will never forget.

Mr. AJ Ellis continues our study in Ecclesiastes with chapters 9 & 10. We see some familiar themes with the universal end of all things, and more of the “nothing is better” statements, followed by a parable and some proverbial poetry as Qohelet begins to wind down the book.

Jesus lifts up a widow as a model of faithful persistence. In a world marked by injustice, this parable encourages us not to lose heart but to continue praying with courage and trust. God is not indifferent or unjust. He is faithful and compassionate, attentive to the cries of His people.⚫CONNECT WITH US:

In this week's episode, Dr. Willy Rice teaches from Luke 11 and Luke 18, unpacking Jesus' parables on prayer and what it means to truly seek the heart of God.Through these stories, we're invited to approach God with boldness, clarity, expectation, and persistence—not because He is reluctant to hear us, but because He is a good Father who delights in responding to His people. Jesus reminds us that prayer is not about wearing God down, but about drawing near in faith and trust.This message challenges us to keep praying even when answers aren't immediate, holding onto the truth that God is working even when we don't see it, and that He faithfully hears every cry of His people.Support the showFind us at!

Have you ever felt like God was being unfair? In Week 2 of our Parables series, Pastor Carlo Mendoza unpacks one of Jesus' most surprising stories. The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard challenges our assumptions about fairness, comparison, and grace. Through this story, Jesus reveals that God's generosity is far greater than we often realize. You'll discover: Why grace will always feel unfair to those keeping score How comparison steals joy and gratitude What it means to celebrate God's generosity toward others The good news is that God's grace isn't based on what you've earned—it's based on who He is. - NEXT STEPS  Looking to take your next step?  We want to help!

This week Pastor Seth unpacks Jesus' Parable of the Wheat and the Weeds, reminding us that good and evil coexist in the world until Christ's return. Rather than judging others, we are called to examine our own hearts, trust God's justice, and faithfully help “grow more wheat” for His kingdom.

In Week 2 of our Parables series, we explore the Parable of the Unforgiving Debtor in Matthew 18:21–35. Jesus teaches that forgiveness isn't something we count—it flows from a heart that has experienced God's grace. When we truly understand the debt God has forgiven, it changes the way we respond to those who have wronged us. Forgiveness is a command, a decision, and often a process, but it opens the door for healing, restoration, and freedom.

Explore the powerful and often misunderstood parables at the end of the Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24–25. In this discussion, Brother George and guest Peter Lynch examine the parables of the Faithful and Evil Servant, the Ten Virgins, the Talents, and the Sheep and the Goats. Discover how these teachings relate to judgment, obedience, salvation, rewards, and preparedness for Christ's return. Learn surprising facts about Judgment Day as well as future prophetic events the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, the Judgment Seat of Christ, and the Great White Throne Judgment. There is much more to these fascinating parables than you thought! #OlivetDiscourse #FaithfulandEvilServant #TenVirgins #TheTalents #SheepandtheGoats #Judgment #JudgmentDay Bible Made Easy Podcast: Bible based lessons through the lens of God's eternal love for humanity and His desire to reconcile all things to Himself.  Peter Lynch Channel https://youtube.com/@peterlynchchannel?si=vot9t6FsDtPTKnCi Endtime Timeline Poster https://www.thebiblemadeeasypodcast.com/endtime-timeline

The passage reflects on the setting of the Mount of Olives and the symbolism of fig trees—bearing leaves but lacking fruit—to introduce a spiritual lesson tied to Jesus' teaching, particularly in Matthew 21 and especially Matthew 21:43, where the parables of the kingdom emphasize the necessity of genuine fruitfulness rather than outward appearance; it connects this to Jesus' confrontation with religious leaders over the authority of John's baptism, underscoring that accepting John's message is essential to understanding the gospel, echoing the principle from Luke 16:16 that “the law and the prophets were until John,” and reinforcing the core proclamation of the kingdom—repentance and readiness—as central to authentic faith. You can connect with Moriel in more locations than just YouTube!Check out all our official links on the About page: https://www.youtube.com/c/MorielTVministries/about.The U.S. Copyright Office protects this video and its contents under section 107 of the Fair Use Copyright Act 1976 which can be found here: can be found here:https://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#107.While we do encourage comments, all are held for review before posting.

In a world filled with brokenness and confusion, how are we meant to live without losing heart—or becoming part of the problem ourselves? This message explores a powerful perspective from one of Jesus' parables that challenges how we see good, evil, and our role in the middle of it all. Come hear a thought-provoking take on living with clarity, purpose, and hope in difficult times.———————————————————————————————If you'd like this message's notes, click the link here!

In this week's episode, Dr. David Rice takes us to Luke 15:11–32 and the parable of the prodigal son—a powerful picture of both rebellion and redemption.Through the story of the younger and older sons, we see two different ways hearts can drift from the Father—one through reckless living, the other through self-righteousness. Yet at the center of it all stands a compassionate Father who pursues, forgives, and restores with overwhelming grace.This message reminds us that no matter how far we've wandered or how long we've stood at a distance, the invitation is the same: to come home. And when we do, we find not rejection, but celebration—because what was lost is found.Support the showFind us at! Calvary.us

Jesus warns of the danger of spiritual blindness. The tragedy in this parable is not wealth itself, but the failure to see the suffering right in front of us. The Kingdom calls us to notice the overlooked, to resist indifference, and to align our hearts with God's concern for the vulnerable.⚫CONNECT WITH US:
