TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast for March 1st, 2026. On this special episode, Heather guides us through Day 60 of our journey in the scriptures. As we gather from all corners of the world, our focus is not just on the words themselves, but on how they point us to Jesus—the source of our life. Today's readings come from Numbers chapters 28 and 29, along with Mark 8. Heather begins by reminding us that the scriptures bear witness to Christ, and invites the Holy Spirit to illuminate God's Word so our hearts and minds may be transformed. We explore the detailed offerings and festivals described in Numbers, and witness Jesus' compassion and teachings in Mark, including the feeding of the 4,000, lessons on spiritual "yeast," and a powerful call to humility and gratitude. To wrap up, Heather leads us in prayers for guidance, unity, and thankfulness, encouraging us to be instruments of peace and to let the joy of the Lord be our strength as we go forward.

There's something that can damage your hearing and your vision. It can even harden your arteries. Well, that might not be a clinical explanation of yeast in our lives, but it is a spiritual observation—an illustration that Jesus uses with his disciples. Watch out, beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and of Herod. They haven't a clue what he means. Jesus says, don't you know or understand even yet? Are your hearts too hard to take it in? You have eyes, can't you see? You have ears, can't you hear? Don't you remember anything at all? It seems that the yeast of the Pharisees could damage their hearing, their vision, their hearts, and even their memory. So Jesus wants them to be vigilant, to keep that yeast out of their houses and out of their lives. In Exodus, the children of Israel were told that before they could celebrate the Passover meal, they had to remove all yeast from their homes. Then they could sit down and enjoy the meal before them. It was a meal prepared from the hand of God, the result of his work and not their own. That's what getting rid of the yeast represented. The yeast represented the Pharisees' teaching of self-righteousness and self-justification. It represented their trying to make themselves right with God by their own piety, their attempted obedience to the law. Attempted obedience has never been our means of justification. No, we must rid ourselves of the yeast of self-righteousness in order to receive the righteous feast and life that is offered to us in Christ. That's why Jesus says, beware of the yeast. He calls us to rid ourselves of it so that we can see and hear clearly, to live well and hear well. He wants it gone so that we can enjoy the new heart he has given us, and enjoy the meal that comes from his hand. It is a meal that is abundant and feeds multitudes, with basketfuls left over. Let's be aware of the yeast of the Pharisees; it so easily spreads into everything we do. Instead, let's look to our Passover Lamb, prepared and offered to us out of the abundant and loving heart of our Father. He is the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world. Jesus has taken it away, and he offers us the feast of his life even now, today. It cannot be earned. It simply must be received. Ours is just to say thank you. Let gratitude and thankfulness be the disposition of our heart. Jesus took the bread and the cup, and he looked up to heaven and he gave thanks. So let us look up to heaven today and give thanks for the living bread, for the life that is given to us in Christ. It is a life without deceitfulness, without self-righteousness, and without self-promotion. It is a life of humility, kindness, and grace. Let us receive from him all that he has for us today. Be on guard. Be aware, and be alive in him. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  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 tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  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  

What if the most important meal you'll ever eat isn't about satisfying physical hunger but remembering spiritual salvation? Three thousand years ago in Egypt, Jewish families smeared lamb's blood on their doorposts so God's angel of death would “pass over” their homes. One thousand years later, Jesus transformed that ancient Passover meal into something far more personal. He established the Lord's Supper. In it, He showed that He was the ultimate Passover Lamb and His blood would cover the sins of all who believe. Because of His death and His shed blood, a holy God can pass over your sins. This isn't a funeral; it's a celebration of the One who is alive. Every time you take this meal, God invites you to remember and appreciate what happened, examine what's happening, and anticipate what's coming.

Preacher: Jason Faber

In this message, Eric walks us through the first Passover in Exodus and reveals how it has always been pointing to Jesus. From Abraham's promise that “God will provide the lamb” to the blood on the doorposts in Egypt, we see that biblical sacrifice is not about us securing God's favor—but about God providing protection for us. Jesus is the true Passover Lamb, the sacrifice given once for all to free us from sin and bring us home. If you've ever wondered how the cross fits into God's plan, this sermon will help you see the beauty, purpose, and power of the Lamb of God. Watch or listen and be reminded that your protection and hope rest in what He has provided.

Guest Preacher John Miller opens up from Hebrews 11 the transformative power of faith in Jesus Christ, through which believes overcome the world's opposition and destruction. From this text we see courageous faith that resists tyrannical persecution, worldly pleasures, and the fear of power, and we see a confident faith that delivers from divine judgment through the Passover Lamb.

After Israel crosses the Jordan, the kings of Canaan lose heart. Not because Israel is strong, but because God is. With Jericho in sight, you'd expect the next step to be war… but God pauses the momentum to deal with the heart.In Joshua 5, God restores Israel's covenant identity through circumcision and renews covenant fellowship through Passover. Then the manna stops as they eat the produce of Canaan showing a shift from wilderness provision to inheritance provision. The lesson is clear: God cares more about who His people are than how quickly they seize the opportunity.All of this points to Jesus. The better covenant and the true Passover Lamb who has gone before us. Our part is not to strive, but to step forward in faith, trusting God in both the miraculous and the ordinary

The finished work of Christ on the Cross was a great achievement providing a perfect basis for our eternal salvation. On the Cross, Christ provided a perfect salvation for all men, so that we might be saved from sin and all its effects. It consists of 3 aspects: Propitiation (the God-ward aspect), Reconciliation (the man-ward aspect), and Redemption (the sin-ward aspect). We study these 3 aspects in detail, and point out that they are all accomplished in Christ, through His Blood, and only become effectual for us, when we receive Christ as our Lord and Saviour, for only then are we put (baptised) into Christ, where these truths become reality. Explore the significance of being made righteous through faith and how it enables us to walk in the fullness of God's grace.

On Sunday we got to hear from Bria on the Last Supper passage in Luke 22v1-23.   The Last Supper is not just a famous scene, but an intentional fulfillment of the Jewish Passover. Jesus transforms the Seder's promises of sanctification, deliverance, redemption, and praise into a new covenant centered on Himself.   As the true Passover Lamb, He invites His disciples—and us—not just to remember the Exodus, but to remember Him: His body broken, His blood poured out, and the fullness found only in union with Him.

At the opening of Passion Week, Mary anointed Jesus for burial in a sacrificial act of worship, setting Him apart to be offered as the Passover Lamb of God on the Cross (John 12:1-7, Matthew 26:6-13). Explore the profound symbolism of Mary anointing Jesus, the reactions of the disciples, and the contrasting attitudes of true devotion versus self-interest. Discover the spiritual insights and transformative power of understanding Christ's love and sacrifice.

We dive into the intriguing question of where Jesus is in the biblical story so far. While Jesus may not be explicitly named, we explore how he is described and the context surrounding his coming. Through promises, such as defeating evil, blessing nations, and ruling in an everlasting kingdom, the Bible builds anticipation for the arrival of the promised Seed. We uncover the significance of various pictures in the story, such as the Passover Lamb, the Tabernacle, and the Temple which provide further understanding of the Seed's purpose. Finally, we discover the role of faith in righteousness and the anticipation for Jesus as the solution to humanity's problems.Bible ReadingsPsalm 1:1-6Psalm 2:1-12Psalm 145:1-21Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

February 8th, 2026. Sunday Bible study with Pastor Cason Kelly.

The post %%post_url%% first appeared on Salem Alliance Church.

This sermon on the Last Supper (Matthew 26:26-29) shows Jesus reinterpreting the Passover elements: He breaks bread, declaring it His body given for us—the spotless Passover Lamb broken on the cross to nourish souls eternally as the Bread of Life. He shares the cup as His blood poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins, establishing the new covenant with redemption from sin surpassing the exodus from Egypt. The command to "do this in remembrance of Me" calls believers to actively proclaim His death until He returns, linking past atonement, present faith, and future hope. Jesus adds that He will not drink the fruit of the vine again until He does so anew with His people in the Father's kingdom, making Communion a foretaste of the messianic banquet. The message invites believers to partake with repentant, grateful hearts as a means of grace and calls unbelievers to trust in Christ alone for salvation.

As the passover drew near, Jesus had a feast with his disciples. In this episode, we discuss the profound symbolism of this moment, its context, bridal revelation, and further revelation of the passover lamb. Even in closing, as they sang a hymn and departed, psalm 118 was on their lips, "I shall not die and live, and declare the works of the Lord."   Matthew 26:17-35Mark 14:12-31Luke 22:7-38John 131 Corinthians 5:71 Peter 1:19Guest Speaker: Jannel Heastonwww.messagetokings.com

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible for January 25th! In today's episode, Hunter invites us to journey together through powerful passages from Exodus 12–13, Psalm 21, and Acts 1. We begin by reflecting on the first Passover—the night God delivered the Israelites from slavery in Egypt—and how this foreshadows the redemption we find in Christ, our true Passover Lamb. As Hunter guides us through these readings, we're reminded that salvation isn't just a story of the past; it's an invitation to walk in freedom and newness of life today. We'll pray together, lift up our world, and step into this new day with the confidence that we are God's beloved children. Whether you're new to the journey or a long-time listener, Hunter encourages us to live deeply into this reality—knowing and remembering always: you are loved. Let's get started! TODAY'S DEVOTION: It was a night to remember. A horrific night. Judgment struck the firstborn of Egypt, but not for everyone. For those who put the blood of a spotless lamb over their doorposts, death would pass by. For those who were covered by the Lamb, for them there was life. John alludes to this in the first chapter of his Gospel. He says, look, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. And Paul later on says in First Corinthians 5, Christ is our Passover lamb who has been sacrificed for us. And later on in his second Epistle to the Corinthians, he says this in chapter five, God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not counting their sins against them. Over and over again through the Scriptures, we see that the Lamb came to cover everyone. We see God's reconciling work by the shedding of his blood for all. And with that sacrifice, Jesus has won our victory. He's won our peace with God. This is a day to be remembered. It's all pointing to the cross, to the life, the death, the resurrection, the ascension of Jesus. It's the beginning of days where life begins. It's the Gospel. The Israelites were told to eat this Passover meal with a staff in their hand. When God rescues us and frees us from our bondage to slavery and sin through his death, he does that fully intending that we start walking with him, participating with him in this new life that he has for us right here, right now, the advancing of his work right here, right now. Part of what this new life has purchased for us is the ability to walk with him. The Israelites had to go through the Red Sea, through the wilderness and into the land of Canaan. And we, like them, have been invited to go on a life changing walk with him. This walk of life takes us into the land of promise and blessing. And it's not just out there, it's right here today, as you're listening to this podcast. You're listening as a free woman, a free man, somebody who has been delivered by the spotless lamb of God. He has wrapped you up and included you in his community, a community that is on a walk with him into a new day, a day that's free. Free from the slavery that you once lived under. You are no longer a slave. No. You are his child. You are a citizen. You are a part of the community. You've been drawn in. You've been made his. This redemption, this salvation that you have experienced is for today. And today you can begin to live in the joy and the wisdom, the strength and the confidence of it. Today you can confidently grow into the person that you really are. Not a slave, but a loved child of God. That is what you are. And the prayer of my own heart today is that I will begin to live more confidently in that reality. And that's a prayer that I have for my family too, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near.

Let's consider the significance of Passover, both then and now.Reading Plan: Worship - Psalm 16:5-11Wisdom - Proverbs 3:11-12Witness - Exodus 10-13Visit https://www.revivalfromthebible.com/ for more information.

Joshua 1 ends with Israel finally ready to move. After 40 years of wandering, God's people are standing on the edge of the Promised Land. The moment has come to cross the Jordan and take possession of Canaan. But there's a problem… The land is already occupied. And the first obstacle is Jericho—a fortified city with massive walls and a culture deeply opposed to God.That's where Joshua 2 begins—and with it, one of the most surprising stories in Scripture.Enter Rahab. A prostitute. A pagan. A social outcast. The LAST person anyone would expect God to use. Yet God has always worked through imperfect people in messy places to accomplish holy purposes.

In John 19:31–42, we are brought face-to-face with the reality of Jesus' death—and the question it demands of every heart: What impact does the death of Jesus have on you? As Jesus' body is removed from the cross and laid in a borrowed tomb, Scripture reveals both fulfilled prophecy and exposed hearts. John records these events so that we might believe, and as we walk through this passage, we see three distinct responses to the death of Jesus: 1. Some who witnessed His death decided to believe in Him.
 From the fulfillment of Scripture to the piercing of His side, the evidence pointed clearly to Jesus as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. 2. Others continued in their unbelief.
 Even in the face of undeniable truth, hardened hearts chose to remain unmoved, blind to what God was clearly revealing. 3. At least a couple were moved to make their faith in Jesus public.
 Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus stepped out of the shadows, risking reputation and position to openly identify with Jesus through a costly and honorable burial. This message explores the theological and personal significance of Jesus' death—His role as the Passover Lamb, the meaning of the blood and water, the fulfillment of prophecy, and the call to repentance and belief. But more than information, this passage invites reflection. Does the cross still move you?
Do you mourn over your sin?
Are you willing to come out of the shadows with your faith? “These things are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name.” (John 20:31)

Exodus is more than a story of escape—it is a revelation of Jesus.In this powerful message from the series Jesus Revealed in Every Book of the Bible, we uncover how Christ is revealed throughout the book of Exodus as the Deliverer, the Passover Lamb, the daily Provider, and the God who dwells with His people.In “Delivered by the Blood: Jesus Revealed in Exodus,” we trace the scarlet thread of redemption from the blood on the doorposts to the cross of Christ. Deliverance was never about worthiness—it was always about obedience and the blood. When God saw the blood, judgment passed over, and freedom began.This message reveals that Jesus doesn't just bring us out of bondage—He brings us into freedom, abundance, and identity. Just as Israel was delivered from Egypt, Jesus still delivers us today from modern forms of bondage such as fear, old identities, emotional wounds, religious striving, people-pleasing, scarcity thinking, and self-reliance.We also see Jesus revealed in the burning bush—meeting Moses in hidden places with holy purpose—and in the manna from heaven, teaching us daily dependence. Finally, Exodus points us to God's deepest desire: to dwell with His people, a promise fully fulfilled in Christ.Rooted in Exodus 3:7–8, this message reminds us that God sees our affliction, hears our cry, knows our pain, and comes down to deliver us—not into survival, but into a spacious place of freedom and abundance.The same Jesus who delivered then is still delivering today.In 2026, we walk redeemed, free, nourished by heaven, and aware of His presence—because we are delivered by the blood.

For many people in the world, believing in God may not necessarily be a far reach. But believing in Jesus? Furthermore, believing that it was necessary for Jesus to die in order for us to receive forgiveness of sins? That, they would say, is a step too far. In this week’s message from Exodus 11–13, Pastor J.D. takes us through the story of the Passover, showing us the mercy of God for the Israelites. Ultimately, this mercy would find expression in Jesus, the true Passover Lamb and our only hope of forgiveness.

Unlocking Scripture, Pt. 2The Unfolding of God's WordPsalm 119:129–136 | King's Chapel Live StreamGod's Word is not random or disconnected. It unfolds with purpose, clarity, and hope.In Psalm 119, we are reminded that the unfolding of God's Word gives light and brings understanding. Scripture reveals not only God's truth, but God's story. From creation to restoration, from promise to fulfillment, the Bible tells one unified story of God redeeming a broken world.In this message, we trace the unfolding of God's Word through the storyline of Scripture. We see creation and fall, redemption and restoration. We watch God's promises take shape through a coming seed, a faithful prophet, a perfect priest, a promised king, and a suffering servant. All of it leads us to one central figure. Jesus Christ.Jesus is the hero of the story. He is the servant and the Son. He is the Passover Lamb. He is the prophet, priest, and king. His righteous life, atoning death, and victorious resurrection stand at the turning point of history.Scripture also points us forward. God's Word helps us understand our present reality and anchors us in the future hope that is still to come.If you want to better understand how the Bible fits together and how God's Word shapes your life today, this message invites you to see Scripture as a living story that leads us to Christ and points us toward glory.Connect with King's Chapel in Longwood, FL - ▶️ www.kingschapelfl.com▶️ https://www.facebook.com/KingsChapelfl▶️ https://www.instagram.com/kingschapelfl/For the GLORY of our Great GodFor the GOOD of our Neighborunfolding of God's Word, Psalm 119 sermon, Bible storyline teaching, King's Chapel Longwood FL, understanding Scripture, Jesus in the Bible, gospel storyline sermon, Bible overview church, unlocking Scripture series

Alive is our weekly Sunday preparation. In this episode, Fr. Jonathan Meyer reflects on the Gospel for the Second Sunday in Ordinary Time (John 1:29–34) and the powerful words we hear at every Mass: “Behold the Lamb of God.” Why does John the Baptist choose this title for Jesus? This reflection weaves together:  • Bethlehem as the House of Bread  • Jesus laid in a manger — a feeding trough  • The shepherds who raised lambs for temple sacrifice  • And the fulfillment of it all in the Eucharist From the unblemished lambs of the Temple, to the Lamb who takes away the sins of the world, this Gospel reveals that Jesus is not a symbol — He is the reality. As priests lift up the Eucharist at Mass, they echo the words of John the Baptist and the faith of the Bethlehem shepherds, holding not a sacrifice that points forward, but the Lamb who fulfills every promise.

What if the Exodus story is not just ancient history, but a picture of your own journey from bondage to abundance in Christ? In this message from Abundant Life Church, we open Exodus 12 to see how God delivered Israel from slavery in Egypt and how Jesus, our Passover Lamb, delivers us from the penalty and power of sin.Discover how the blood of the Lamb over the doorposts points to the cross, where Jesus was sacrificed so that judgment would “pass over” all who trust in Him. Learn why the first step into God's promised land of abundant life is applying the blood of Christ and leaving the old life behind.We'll explore key scriptures including Exodus 12, John 10:10, 1 Corinthians 5, and 1 Peter 2 to see how God calls His people out of darkness and into His marvelous light—transforming former slaves into a royal priesthood and holy nation, set free to worship and serve Him.Whether you feel stuck in spiritual Egypt, bound by sin, shame, or your past, this sermon will invite you to receive Jesus “in haste,” purge out the old leaven, and step into the freedom and new identity God has for you.Connect with us on Social Media ↴Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifelsConnect with Pastor Phil ↴Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhilHopperKCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhopper_kcBooks & Resources       https://livingproof.co/resources/booksListen to The Well Podcast ⤵Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5wadnywAMEK7c0E1qatMoY?si=SjH6Ko7VR3OoHrRy1yYLlQ&nd=1&dlsi=395ae55d95ac4b11Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-well/id1233267223YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2hogfBmv7YogvCjiNYLz9a2Find Your Next Step: https://alife.livingproof.co/Watch more sermons: https://abundant-life.com/sermons/Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?

In his sermon, “From Bondage to Abundance,” Pastor Toshaun Avery shares how the same power that delivered the Israelites from Egypt can set you free today. He traces the Israelites' journey from slavery in Egypt to the Promised Land and shows how this pictures our own spiritual journey from captivity in sin to the abundant life Jesus offers. Explore how God's instructions for the Passover lamb, the blood on the doorposts, and the unleavened bread all point prophetically to Christ, our Passover Lamb, who was sacrificed for us. You will see how the Exodus story foreshadows the cross, how the blood of Jesus saves from judgment, and how purging out the “old leaven” leads to a life of sincerity and truth. If you're longing for freedom from sin's penalty and power, this message will help you understand how Jesus delivers, redeems, and calls you into a new identity as a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, and God's own special people.

Lesson 12 - The One Who Brings us to the FatherJoin Michele in Mark 15:1-16:20. Events moved quickly after Christ's arrest in the Garden. The religious leaders wasted no time turning Him over to Pilate to accomplish their long-awaited goal. The true Passover Lamb was silent before all those who abused Him, absorbing all the hatred and brutality…refusing every opportunity to diminish the cup of suffering He had come to drink to the full. And when He breathed His last, the Temple veil was torn from top to bottom — and the way to the Father was opened for all who believe.To learn more about Michele or to support this international ministry please visit https://intheword.com

Send us a textA nursery rhyme becomes a roadmap to redemption. We walk from Bethlehem's quiet fields to Jerusalem's crowded courts and finally to Revelation's blazing throne room, tracing how Mary's child is the Lamb who fulfills Israel's calendar with pinpoint precision and claims the title deed to history. Angels announce the news to shepherds tending Passover flocks. John the Baptist points with a single word—Behold. And the virgin birth steps out of sentiment and into necessity, establishing the sinless life required for a once‑for‑all sacrifice.Across the final week of Jesus' life, every step lands on ancient promises. On the tenth of Nisan, he is set apart as the true Passover Lamb. For five days, leaders probe and accuse, yet no fault is found. At the very hour lambs are prepared, he is lifted up; at the ninth hour when sacrifices are offered, he declares, “It is finished.” The temple's streams of blood and water echo from his pierced side, and not one bone is broken. Geography joins the testimony: Moriah—Abraham's mountain—becomes the place where substitution is perfected and debt is stamped paid.But the story doesn't end at the cross. John sees a small Lamb—slain, standing, sovereign—with seven horns and seven eyes, worthy to open the scroll and direct the course of human destiny. The Lamb's strength is not bluster; it is holy power. His knowledge is not rumor; it is perfect sight. From creation to Calvary to conquest, he alone is worthy. This is good news for everyone—Jews and Gentiles, women and men, the broken and the self‑assured—because the Lamb who was slain is also the Lamb who shares his victory.Listen to explore the thread that ties manger to altar and altar to throne, to hear how Scripture's symbols become history's schedule, and to consider what it means for a once‑for‑all sacrifice to carry your name.

Christmas 2025 is almost here. Let's use this as a time to focus on the Christmas account of the birth of the Christ-child and discover unique facts about Christmas we may not have ever considered. For example, how about those shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night (Luke 2:8). Who were these guys anyway? All we know about them is they were shepherds in Bethlehem. This means most likely the sheep they were watching that first Christmas night were sheep destined to become sacrificial lambs at the Temple in Jerusalem. Bethlehem is close to Jerusalem. If you travel it today, it takes less than half an hour—about 5 and 1/2 miles. In that day, a little longer of course, but certainly doable in a few hours. These shepherds in that field that night were raising sacrificial lambs for the Temple, and then suddenly, the visit of the angels tells them the Lamb of God has been born in Bethlehem. Once they recover from the fright of this visitation, they decide to go see the Lamb of God, born to take away the sin of the world. Leaving their sheep behind—which was very unusual for shepherds to do—they travel to find the baby with Mary and Joseph, and they worship him. Then they spread the word, telling everyone what they had seen and who they had seen! Reminds me of a wonderful verse from the wonderful song, A Cradle in the Shadow of the Cross. Talking about the shepherds looking at Baby Jesus—listen to this verse: The shepherd lads were bending the knee, and how the little lambs were all trying to see, the Passover Lamb, born in a manager, just to give his life for lost sheep like me. A baby born to be a lamb—the Lamb of God for you and me. We have much to celebrate this Christmas! Jesus was born in a manger to become a man—the God-Man, the only qualified Savior who gave his life for lost sheep like me and you. Think about that today; it's a great way to prepare your heart for Christmas day.

Pastor Krissy Miles opens this message by addressing the confusion and division of today's culture, particularly as amplified through social media and current events. She calls believers to practice true discernment, explaining that truth is not found merely in information or words, but in people who are genuinely submitted to Jesus—the person of truth. Even those who speak Scripture, she warns, may not truly be aligned with Christ if their lives are not marked by humility and obedience.Transitioning into the Christmas season, Pastor Krissy introduces the theme “The Messianic King,” part of The Miracle of Christmas series. She addresses the topic of Israel, highlighting the shared spiritual heritage between Christians and Jews while affirming the Christian belief that Jesus is the promised Messiah foretold in the Old Testament. Drawing from the Apostle Paul, she emphasizes the call to love the Jewish people and to desire their salvation.The message centers on the Road to Emmaus in Luke 24, where two disciples walk with the resurrected Jesus without recognizing Him. Pastor Krissy explains that Jesus is not hidden by God, but unrecognized because of doubt and disappointment. She connects this to modern believers, showing how discouragement and unbelief can blind us to God's work in our lives.As Jesus opens the Scriptures, Pastor Krissy highlights how the Law and the Prophets point to Him, referencing Old Testament passages from Daniel, Ezekiel, Haggai, and Zechariah that foretell a spiritual and eternal kingdom fulfilled in Christ. The message culminates in the breaking of bread, where the disciples finally recognize Jesus—a moment Pastor Krissy connects to communion and the Passover, revealing Jesus as the true Passover Lamb.Key Themes:Spiritual Discernment in a Noisy CultureTruth Found in Lives Submitted to JesusJesus as the Promised Messianic KingIsrael and God's Redemptive PlanThe Road to Emmaus (Luke 24)Doubt, Disappointment, and Spiritual BlindnessJesus Revealed Through the Law and the ProphetsThe Kingdom of God: Spiritual and EternalThe Son of Man in ScriptureCommunion, Passover, and FulfillmentUpdated Timestamps:0:20 – Introduction & Discernment3:20 – The Call for Spiritual Discernment5:00 – The Messianic King & Israel8:00 – The Road to Emmaus (Luke 24)13:20 – Confusion & Disappointment16:00 – Jesus Explains the Scriptures20:00 – Recognizing Jesus in the Breaking of Bread21:20 – Doubt vs. Faith28:20 – Daniel's Vision of the Kingdom30:20 – Old Testament Prophecies Fulfilled32:20 – The Kingdom of God Has Come34:20 – The Unshakable Kingdom36:20 – The Son of Man Revealed38:20 – Communion & Passover54:20 – Application & Call to Faith65:20 – Closing Prayer & Christmas Blessing

Sunday morning message from Pastor Jonathan Barber. December 21, 2025

Send us a textWhat if the manger only makes sense in the light of the cross? We follow the “trail of the Lamb” across Scripture to show why Christmas is neither accidental nor sentimental, but the unveiling of God's long-promised Passover Lamb. From Micah's prophecy to Bethlehem's fields, we connect the dots between shepherds, a stable, and the larger story of redemption that began before the world and reaches its fullness at the cross.We walk through key waypoints: Adam and Eve's covering that exposed the limits of self-made solutions; Abel's accepted offering that highlighted the necessity of innocent blood; and Abraham and Isaac on Moriah, where a thorn-caught substitute points forward to a willing Savior. Then we arrive in Egypt, where a meek lamb defeats a serpent-crowned empire and a nation learns that rescue comes through applied blood, not good intentions. The Passover doorposts form a rough cross, and the shared meal forms a people—freed slaves who carry the lamb within as they step into a new identity.Along the way, we explore why the New Testament calls Jesus the Lamb so often, how songs of the Lamb shape Christian worship, and why “Christ in you, the hope of glory” turns faith from performance into participation. Christmas becomes a doorway, not a detour: a planned moment where the ruler from Bethlehem arrives as a Lamb, whose life and death unite prophecy, sacrifice, and victory over the serpent. Join us as we rediscover the season's depth and let the Lamb reshape our hope, courage, and worship.If this resonated, share it with a friend, subscribe for part two on “the time and the triumph of the Lamb,” and leave a review to help others find the show.Support the showhttps://www.jacksonfamilyministry.comhttps://bobslone.com/home/podcast-production/

This week in our series Follow: The Story of Exodus, we step into one of the most profound moments in all of Scripture—the Passover.As God brings the final plague upon Egypt, He reveals His ultimate authority over life and death…and the way of salvation that would echo for generations. In Exodus 11–12, we see the spotless lamb, the applied blood, and the night when God both judged and redeemed.But this moment wasn't just Israel's deliverance—it was a foreshadowing of Jesus Christ, the true Passover Lamb. From the timing of the week to the shedding of blood, every detail pointed forward to the cross where Christ would become our substitute, our atonement, and our life.In this message, Pastor Tommy shows:Why the Passover is the clearest picture of the gospel in the Old TestamentHow Jesus fulfills every part of the Passover patternWhy the blood of the Lamb is our only hopeAnd how remembering His sacrifice keeps our hearts anchored in graceWe closed the service at the Lord's Table, remembering that our redemption came through the blood of a spotless substitute—the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.If you've ever wondered how the story of Exodus connects to the cross, this message will open your eyes to the beauty of God's plan from beginning to end.

This Sunday, Pastor Blake teaches about God's deliverance of His people through the first Passover. In this moment, we see His justice, mercy, and power on full display, which points us to Christ, our true Passover Lamb, who brings freedom and life to all who trust in Him.     Want to watch a version of this message?

The prophets warned that the day of the Lord would be darkness, not light—so why would anyone desire it? Dr. John connects Jesus' second coming teaching with the necessity of Passover, examining the dark conspiracy to kill Jesus, Satan's entrance into Judas, and the mysterious preparations for the meal. He reveals that just as ancient Israel needed the blood of the lamb to escape judgment, we need the greater Passover Lamb before the day of the Lord can be good news rather than terror.The End of the Age: Our desire to see into the future is more than curiosity. We want to know what will happen so we can be prepared. If we know what the weather will be, what the stock market will do or how our job interview will turn out, we can adjust accordingly. In this 10-message series, Dr. John Neufeld teaches on Jesus' words and actions from Luke 21-22. Jesus points to the end of the age and describes what will be. While He doesn't answer our question of "When?", Jesus tells believers how to be ready. If we live as prepared people, the timing of Jesus' return will not catch us off guard.

Bible StudyDon't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: Exodus 12:43-51, 13:3-16. Luke 22:14-23, 1 Cor 5:6-8.Sermon Notes:Introduction – Moving Forward by Looking BackIllustration: The Boys in the Boat — rowers face backward to move forward.God calls Israel to move forward from Egypt—but commands them to look back through Passover.In the same way, Jesus sends us forward in mission—but sustains us by remembering Him through Communion.Key Idea: We move forward in faith by looking back to God's saving work.I. Tactile TeachingGod teaches not just through words but through embodied practices.Sacrament: Outward sign of inward grace. Passover: Eating the lamb — tangible memory of deliverance.Communion: Bread and wine — tangible grace of Christ.Exodus 12:26–27 – Children ask, “What does this mean?”Learning by participation.Application: “Taste and see that the Lord is good.” (Psalm 34:8)Simple signs, profound grace.II. Out with the OldFeast of Unleavened Bread—removing leaven as a symbol of leaving Egypt behind.God not only removes His people from Egypt but Egypt from His people.1 Corinthians 5:6–8 – “Cleanse out the old leaven… for Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed.”Application: Confession before Communion clears away the “old leaven” of sin. Communion humbles, not shames; we come needy and receptive to grace.III. Assurance of Forgiveness and LovePassover: Blood of the lamb caused God's judgment to pass over His people.Communion: Jesus, the true Passover Lamb, takes judgment on Himself.“This is my body, given for you.”Application:Communion assures us tangibly that God's love and forgiveness are real.“As real as this bread and wine are, so real is God's love for you.”Moving Forward by RememberingThe life of faith always moves forward—but draws strength from looking back.Personally: Remember God's past faithfulness as fuel for trust.As a Church: In transition, look back with gratitude, not nostalgia.The Cross stands as our enduring sign of God's faithfulness.Discussion Questions:Share about your experience with Communion.  Did you grow up taking Communion regularly? How do you currently experience grace through it?Compare and contrast the act of celebrating a birthday or anniversary with Communion.  What are the similarities? What are the differences?Why is confession important before Communion? Do you practice personal confession?If you feel guilty over some sin, should you not take Communion that week? Why or why not? What are some reasons to refrain from taking Communion?Do you ever struggle to believe God loves you or forgives you?  How might taking Communion help you?Extra ResourcesCheck out Sam Fornecker's Ridley Course - Jesus and the Jewish FeastsQuestions?Do you have a question about today's sermon?

Communion is far more than a symbolic ritual—it's a sacred sacrament that connects us to Christ's sacrifice and to one another through divine mystery. Rooted in the Old Testament Passover, where the lamb's blood provided covering from death, communion points to Jesus as our Passover Lamb whose blood saves us from eternal death. When Jesus established this practice at the Last Supper, He transformed familiar Passover elements into a new covenant meal. Through the Holy Spirit's presence, communion becomes true participation in Christ's body and blood, not merely remembrance. This sacred table requires both reconciliation with Christ and unity with fellow believers, as we examine our hearts and surrender our self-reliance to depend fully on Him.Support the show

Bible StudyDon't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: .Sermon Notes:I. The Fairness of God's JudgmentA. Our concern for fairnessWe instinctively ask: “Do they deserve judgment?”Judgment must be fair, just, and true.B. Pharaoh and Egypt's guiltPharaoh's policy: murder of Hebrew boys (Exodus 1).Enslavement and oppression of Israel.God's response: “Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.” (Galatians 6:7 ESV)The death of the firstborn = not random, but reaping what was sown.C. The hardening of Pharaoh's heartSometimes Pharaoh hardens his own heart; other times God does.Pharaoh's rebellion becomes irreversible — God confirms his self-chosen path.God's judgment is never arbitrary, always morally deserved.II. The Realms of God's JudgmentA. Judgment in both visible and spiritual realmsExodus 12:12 — God executes judgment “on all the gods of Egypt.”Not only Pharaoh and Egypt, but their false gods are judged.B. The spiritual dimensionEach plague confronts an Egyptian deity (e.g., darkness = judgment on Re, the sun god).Ephesians 6:12 — our struggle is not just “against flesh and blood.”C. Implications for usConflict perspective: our true enemy is spiritual, not human.Ultimate justice: final judgment must also occur in the spiritual realm — and that belongs to God alone.Christ's victory:The cross = God's judgment on “principalities and powers.”Revelation 20 — final judgment, evil cast down forever.III. Protection from God's JudgmentA. The universality of judgmentBoth Egyptians and Israelites were under threat.Only protection: homes marked with the blood of the lamb (Exodus 12:13).Not ethnicity, morality, or family — but faith in God's provision.B. The necessity of faith and obedienceBelief must lead to action.They didn't discuss the lamb's symbolism — they applied the blood.C. The principle of substitutionThe lamb dies in place of the firstborn.“One life for another.”God's mercy through a substitute.D. Fulfillment in Jesus ChristJohn 1:29 — “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”Jesus = true Passover Lamb — spotless, no broken bones (John 19:31-33), slain for sinners.His blood is the believer's protection from judgment.God's justice is satisfied; His mercy extended.Conclusion: The Cross Is Our PassoverGod is both Judge and Savior.To our sins he says: “this kind of offense cannot be tolerated in my Kingdom.”Yet God Himself provides the way — through the blood of His Son.At the Cross, justice is satisfied, grace is extended.Because of the Lamb, God's judgment passes over us forever.Discussion Questions:Does a God who judges evil make you uncomfortable? Why or why not?In what ways does it help us to understand that God executes judgment in the spiritual realm?What is the difference between making moral judgments and being "judgmental"? How does the idea of humanity being universally under God's judgment eliminate judgmentalism?How does the Cross of Christ bring together God's judgment and grace?Should we fear God's judgment - why or why not?Questions?Do you have a question about today's sermon?

Pastor Micah Klutinoty in John 19:23-42 shares that as Jesus hung on the cross, every detail of His death fulfilled Scripture, proving He is the spotless, sovereignly appointed Passover Lamb. From the casting of His tunic to the piercing of His side, prophecy after prophecy confirmed God's perfect plan of redemption. When Jesus declared, “It is finished,” He completed the work of salvation and laid death itself in the grave.

The true Passover Lamb, the True Temple, Jesus, is the means by which we come to glorify the Father.
