One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to this episode of the Daily Radio Bible, where your host, Hunter, guides us through a profound journey into the scriptures, exploring the depths of God's word and uncovering the truths within. Today, we continue our 72-day adventure through the Bible, immersing ourselves in the chapters of Deuteronomy and the enlightening words of Galatians. In this episode, Hunter reads from Deuteronomy 19 to 21, delving into ancient laws and the cities of refuge, and then transitions to Galatians chapter three, where Paul speaks of the transformative power of faith and grace. In these passages, we confront the troubling aspects of human nature and the darkness of the world, yet we are reminded of Christ's redemptive sacrifice—described as a shadow of the promise found in the tree where Christ bore the sin of the world. In his compassionate commentary, Hunter encourages us to embrace the gift of a new heart through Christ's love—not through the old systems of law but through a grace that brings about true freedom and unity in faith. He leads us in prayer and reflection, inviting us into a moment of spiritual camaraderie. Join us as we journey together, letting the scriptures illuminate the path to Jesus, and experience the grace and love that transcend our understanding. Remember, you are loved, and together we are united in this faithful exploration. TODAY'S DEVOTION: In today's readings, we see a stark contrast between the realities presented in Deuteronomy and the liberating message found in Galatians. The passages in Deuteronomy reveal the dark depths of human sin and rebellion, the curse and brokenness that pervades our world. But Galatians brings us to the heart of God's redemptive plan—a plan that was in place before the foundations of the earth. There is a tree in the narrative, a disturbing symbol of the curse and death in Deuteronomy, a place where justice is executed. Yet, this is also the shadow of a greater promise—the tree on which Christ was crucified. It's a paradox that the very symbol of cursing becomes the place of redemption as Jesus hangs on that tree for us. He becomes the curse to break its power, to set us free. These passages remind us that the horrific events depicted in Deuteronomy do not reflect God's heart; rather, they unveil the depths of human evil. In contrast, God's heart is revealed on the cross, where Jesus conquers the dominion of sin and death. It's a reminder that the Gospel is the only way to reconciliation, the sole path that transcends sin's curse. Paul passionately conveys this truth in his letter to the Galatians, urging them to trust solely in Christ and not revert to the old ways. The law was never meant to save us or give us life. It was temporary, a guardian until faith in Christ was revealed. The new life we are offered through Christ is a gift of grace and love, a life free from the curse, rooted in God's heart. Oh, how often we forget and seek to justify ourselves through our efforts, thinking we can mend what's broken in us. Yet, new life is found not in the law or in our own striving, but in God's gracious gift. We, the true heirs of Abraham, are called to live in this newness, united in Christ as one people, freed and dearly loved. That's the prayer I have for my wife, my daughters, my son, and for you as well—that we hold fast to the Gospel, to the reconciling love displayed on the cross. May we live daily in the freedom of our new identity, with faith, hope, and love at the forefront of everything we do. 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. 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  

March 10, 2025Today's Reading: Deuteronomy 26:1-11Daily Lectionary: Genesis 6:1-7:5; Mark 3:1-19And you shall rejoice in all the good that the Lord your God has given to you and to your house, you, and the Levite, and the sojourner who is among you. (Deuteronomy 26:11)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.God is, by nature, a gift-giver. The wandering Aramean who went down into Egypt and sojourned there became a great, mighty, and populous nation because of the Gift of God. And after He brought them out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, great deeds of terror, and not a few miracles, He continued to give Gifts. In the wilderness, it was bread from heaven, quail for meat, water from a rock, and countless other blessings. He gave unexpected military conquests and ultimately the fulfillment of the promise He had made long ago to that wandering Aramean's family.Now this great and mighty nation was on the doorstep of the land that the Lord God was giving them. It would not be long before they would plant and harvest more than milk and honey. In response to these many great Gifts, the Lord expected a response. A Gift received without a thank-you is theft. Robbery. The Lord God Himself defined the return Gift—an offering of firstfruits. But it wasn't just the first of the fruit that God required. He also required a confession of faith. “And the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, with great deeds of terror, with signs and wonders. And he brought us into this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey. And behold, now I bring the first of the fruit of the ground, which you, O Lord, have given me” (Deut. 26:8-10).God doesn't just establish a principle for stewardship. The firstfruits offering was a liturgical offering connected to the great feasts of Israel. The liturgy, which Israel enacted year after year, was in anticipation of what God Himself would do—offer a Gift of His first and best.“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16). God did not hold back and give us His second-best. He gave His one and only Son, the firstborn of creation (Col. 1:15), begotten of His Father before all worlds. He gave Him up as an offering on the cross. But then, on the day following the Sabbath in the week of Unleavened Bread, as the priest waved an offering of firstfruits at the altar, Jesus rose from the dead. “But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep” (1 Cor. 15:20). By giving your first and best to God, you are not just demonstrating sound finances and good Christian stewardship. You are confessing the resurrection. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.We give Thee but Thine own, Whate'er the gift may be; All that we have is Thine alone, A trust, O Lord, from Thee. (LSB 781:1)-Rev.

Worship by Pastor Leah Holloway-Nilsen.  Reading: Deuteronomy 26:1-11.  Gospel: Luke 4:1-13

March 3, 2025Today's Reading: Deuteronomy 34:1-12Daily Lectionary: Job 34:10-33; John 11:17-37“…and for all the mighty power and all the great deeds of terror that Moses did in the sight of all Israel. (Deuteronomy 34:12)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. What is the First Commandment? You shall have no other gods. What does this mean? We should fear, love, and trust in God above all things.Sometimes, a well-meaning person will teach that fear here means respect. We should respect God, well and true, but trust means respect. Fear means fear. When Israel sinned against God in the wilderness, they had very good reasons to be afraid. They sinned, and God sent a plague. They sinned, and God sent poisonous snakes. They sinned, God opened up the ground, and the earth swallowed them whole. It is a fearful thing to stand before God in your sin. God worked these terrifying deeds through Moses. And even though, in our reading today, Moses is now dead, the Lord is still the one to be feared, even as they enter into the promised rest. Likewise, we need to fear the Lord in our sin. We need to know God gets angry when we hurt the people He loves. Even when that person is yourself. If He didn't get angry, then that would show that He didn't care. So fear is an appropriate response when we start thinking that maybe our sin is okay after all.But how far does that fear go? If God is angry over sin, how can I possibly stand before Him when I have sinned? But remember the whole explanation of the First Commandment. We fear, love, and trust in God above all things. We fear because of our sin. We trust because Our Lord has poured out all His anger on someone else. The entire fiery wrath of God is poured out upon Jesus at the cross. The greatest deed of terror in all history. Everything that should have gone to you and me has instead fallen upon Christ. And He willingly went there for the forgiveness of all our sins. Remember, if God is not angry, He does not care. But if His anger falls upon us, then we are lost. God shows His great care for us by both His anger and His self-sacrifice. He gave up all to save you from your sin. We are able to love Him because of His great love for us given first. And given at His cross. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Oh what blessing to be near You And listen to Your voice; Let me ever love and hear You, Let Your Word be now my choice! Many hardened sinners, Lord, Flee in terror at Your Word; But to all who feel sin's burden You give words of peace and pardon. (LSB 589:2)-Rev.

Sermon: 'Love, Love, Love'Reading: Deuteronomy 5:1-22 + Matthew 22:34-40 + 1 John 4:7-12

The Second commandment requires true worship of the God who is near1. The problem with false images of God2. The provision of the true image of God. Reading: Deuteronomy 4 & Acts 17, Text: Lords Day 35

November 4, 2024 Today's Reading: Deuteronomy 6:1-9Daily Lectionary: Jeremiah 5:1-19; Matthew 22:23-46“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. (Deuteronomy 6:4-7)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. How will you know God? Just look around and see the world struggling to know God, or to find God, or to experience God, or to figure God out. We can see some looking for God by climbing a mountain to meet a spiritual guru or trying to find Him through some sort of spiritual practice such as yoga (which is not truly “spiritual” at all since it's the practice of body and mind and movement techniques), or to locate God by some sort of worldly government or movement, or even by trying to expand the brain spiritually with the use of drugs. It goes on and on. You can probably think of several other ways our generation tries to locate God. How will you know God? Moses says: “Hear, O Israel …” It's by hearing. It's through your ears. What goes into ears, of course, are words. You will know God by hearing His words spoken into your ears. Take the words Moses tells us, and cherish them, memorize them (“these words … shall be on your heart”). Write them down. Speak them to one another. Keep them in your conversation. Speak them with your children when you're going down the road.  In the way the world sees things, we have a strange God. A God comprehended by high-order thinking, a rigidly disciplined lifestyle, or deeply-felt spiritual yearnings—that God our world would accept. But a God comprehended and held onto by hearing His words and holding on to those words in faith—that God is foolishness to our world.But God comes by hearing. The word to hear is the Gospel, the Word of Christ. This Word forgives sins. It declares you righteous. It cleanses the conscience. It creates faith. As Paul tells us, “How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching?... So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ” (Romans 10:14, 17).In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Thy strong Word bespeaks us righteous; Bright with Thine own holiness, Glorious now, we press toward glory, And our lives our hopes confess. Alleluia, alleluia! Praise to Thee who light dost send! Alleluia, alleluia! Alleluia without end! (LSB 578:3)-Rev.

September 2, 2024Today's Reading: Deuteronomy 4:1-2, 6-9Daily Lectionary: 1 Kings 18:20-40; Ephesians 2:1-22“And now, O Israel, listen to the statutes and the rules that I am teaching you, and do them, that you may live, and go in and take possession of the land that the Lord, the God of your fathers, is giving you. (Deuteronomy 4:1)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” This was the question asked of Jesus by a Jewish lawyer, an expert in the Law of Moses. How did Jesus answer him? He pointed the lawyer back to the words Moses had written down in the Law; “Do this and you will live.” It's really not all that complicated, inheriting eternal life. It's actually quite simple: keep the Law given to Moses, and you will live forever with God in the Promised Land of Paradise. It's true; you can climb the ladder into heaven without Jesus – you can save yourself. God promises eternal life to you, but there is one condition. You must keep the entire law of God perfectly from the heart. To simplify things further, you could reduce the whole Law of God into just two: love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself– that's it. Do this, and you will live. God guarantees it.  God isn't playing games with us by making an impossible promise. He knows we can't be perfect, as He is perfect. He knows we do not and cannot love Him perfectly from our hearts, let alone love others in complete selflessness – but that really is the point, isn't it? God uses the Law to bring us to the point where we realize we can't keep our end of the bargain. God wants to bring a confession out of us, “Who then can be saved?” When the Law has done this, we are ready for Jesus' answer: “With man it is impossible, but not with God” (Mark 10:27).Jesus has done what we cannot do. He alone whole-heartedly loved and obeyed His Father. God sent His own Son not to abolish the Law but to fulfill it, every bit of it. Jesus has made what is impossible for us possible! He fulfilled the righteous requirement of the law for you (Romans 8:3-4). What's the catch? What's the condition so that we might be certain that eternal life is ours? There is no condition; there is only the promise: “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life” (John 5:24). There is nothing left to do that Jesus has not already done, and Jesus has done it all for you! In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.The Law reveals the guilt of sin And makes us conscience-stricken; But then the Gospel enters in The sinful soul to quicken. Come to the cross, trust Christ, and live; The Law no peace can ever give, No comfort and no blessing (LSB 555:8)-Rev.

June 3, 2024Today's Reading: Deuteronomy 5:12-15Daily Lectionary: Ecclesiastes 11:1-10; John 10:22-42Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as the LORD your God commanded you. Deuteronomy 5:12In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. The key word in the commandment is holy. God calls us to remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy: clean, pure, holy as the LORD your God is holy. So it probably has to have more to do with what He does on it than what we do. You can't clean a table with a dirty rag. Unholy people who do unholy things can't sanctify a day. So on the Sabbath, God commands us to be near Him. Hear His word. Hold it sacred. Gladly learn it. Receive His sacraments. Rest in His promises that cleanse us from all that is unholy and make us clean ourselves.  It is not a day set apart for Christians to show God how much they praise Him. It is a day even commanded to be given to sojourners and servants. God does not dangle rest on the other side of work as a reward for the worthy. God wishes to be a God of the unclean, making them clean in Himself. He sends His Son to die on a cross to make you that way. Jesus died for you. In His blood, you are made clean. In your Baptism, you are washed and made holy.  That holiness is not just for us but for all of creation. Even the animals are called to the Sabbath. Jesus' love for you is such that He does not just redeem you, but all of creation for you. All creation groans with eager expectation of the life to come. But until then, we rest each week. We go to church, and even invite others who need rest, too. We hear His Word that gives even as it promises. We eat and drink His Body and Blood that forgive even as they tie us to the life where we will finally be free from all that makes us need such a blessed meal of rest. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Come unto Me, ye weary, And I will give you rest. O blessèd voice of Jesus, Which comes to hearts oppressed! It tells of benediction, Of pardon, grace, and peace, Of joy that hath no ending, Of love that cannot cease. (LSB 684:1)- Rev.
