The Bread of Heaven Matthew 14:13-21 The Ninth Sunday After Trinity Sunday, August 2, 2026 The Rev Kenny Benge, Associate Rector Church of the Redeemer, Nashville, TN www.Redeemer-Nashville.net

1 Peter 5:6-96Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, 7casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. 8Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.

Ruth's story reminds us that heroes of faith aren't defined by extraordinary abilities, but by extraordinary trust in God. This week, Pastor Mike explores Ruth's unwavering commitment, humble obedience, teachable spirit, and how her story ultimately points to Jesus—our true Redeemer. Discover how God uses ordinary faithfulness to accomplish His extraordinary purposes.

Psalms 107, John 4:39-42 The Rev. Tee Feyrer

Were Adam and Eve beyond forgiveness after they sinned in the Garden of Eden? In this episode of the Relentlessly Biblical Podcast, we explore Genesis 3 and examine an important theological question in Scripture: Did God forgive Adam and Eve after the fall?This conversation walks through the nature of sin, the consequences of disobedience, the purpose of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, and the first promise of redemption in Genesis chapter 3. The discussion highlights God's holiness, justice, mercy, patience, and grace, showing how the fall of Adam and Eve points forward to the gospel of Jesus Christ.The hosts also compare humanity's need for redemption with the rebellion of Satan and fallen angels, explaining why forgiveness is offered to mankind through Christ. From Adam and Eve's shame and hiding to God's merciful response, this episode shows that Scripture reveals a God who desires relationship, exposes sin, and provides hope through the promised Redeemer.If you have ever wondered whether Adam and Eve were forgiven, why God allowed the fall, or how Genesis 3 connects to the gospel, this episode offers a Scripture-centered answer rooted in the character of God and the redemptive work of Christ.Welcome to The Relentlessly Biblical™ Podcast.

Part 4 in series The post Healthy Neighboring appeared first on Redeemer Community Church.

Jesus stands beside those the enemy accuses, rescues them from the fire, changes their lives by His grace, and invites everyone to trust Him and walk faithfully in His presence.

What does God's redeeming kindness look like? Ruth 3 takes us to a midnight meeting where a bold request is met with a costly promise. Through Boaz, we glimpse the Redeemer who willingly bears our debt and brings the empty into the fullness of his grace.

The way to a woman’s heart Naomi’s filling

Fr. Mike touches upon the prophecy of judgment against Babylon and Israel, and how God still promises to be Israel's redeemer despite their disobedience. We also read about Ezekiel's vision of the temple and how the markings on the foreheads of the Israelites symbolizes the mourning of true worship, and also foreshadows Jesus' death on the Cross. Today we read Isaiah 47-48, Ezekiel 8-9, and Proverbs 12:13-16. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

The Ten Commandments are not a checklist for earning God's favor but a response to His saving grace. When we remember who God is — our Redeemer, King, and faithful covenant God — our worship, relationships, and obedience begin to reflect His character.

Day 214: God's Land is Our InheritanceScripture (Joshua 13:6 NKJV):“And Moses had given an inheritance to the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh across the Jordan; but there remained much land yet to be possessed.”Reflection: God provides an inheritance to those who follow Him. We step into His blessings with faith.Prayer: Father, help me claim the spiritual and practical blessings You have prepared for me.Until next timeStay in the BlessingsI really want to encourage you to be diligent with your Bible study time, because God has so much more for us than we can get from just going to church once or twice a week and hearing someone else talk about the Word.When you spend time with God, your life will change in amazing ways, because God is a Redeemer.Theres nothing thats too hard for Him, and He can make you whole, spirit, soul and body!You're important to God, and you're important to us at The Refinery.When it comes to prayer, we believe that God wants to meet your needs and reveal His promises to you.So whatever you're concerned about and need prayer for we want to be here for you!

Waiting for Hope 1 Kings 3:3-14 and Romans 8:26-34 The Eighth Sunday After Trinity Sunday, July 26, 2026 Ryan Allbritten, Youth Pastor Church of the Redeemer, Nashville, TN www.Redeemer-Nashville.net

This is the seventh sermon in our series on "Ruth – Accomplishing His purposes through ordinary lives" the title of this sermon is "The Redeemer Secures" – Steve Rossi is the Lead Pastor at The Gospel Tabernacle. July 26, 2026.

It's Monday, July 27th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Pakistani Supreme Court releases Muslim murderers of Christian couple The Supreme Court of Pakistan has ordered the release of the final three men on death row in the 2014 murder case of a Christian couple, Shahzad Masih and his pregnant wife, Shama, reports International Christian Concern. With this decision, along with the dismissal of a state appeal against the acquittal of 102 other suspects, no one remains convicted or in prison for the attack.  Here's the back story.  On November 4, 2014, in a village in the Punjab Province, a violent mob attacked Shahzad and Shama after they were accused of desecrating pages of the Quran, Islam's misguided book. The mob severely beat the couple before throwing them into a hot brick kiln, where they both died.  While five men were sentenced to death and nine others received short prison sentences, they all were released back into society. Let's pray the prayer of Amos 5:24. Lord, “let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.” Wildfires in France and Spain have displaced 250,000 people France sent a hulking military cargo plane to dump tons of flame retardants as it battled raging wildfires on Saturday and slashed the final stage of the bicycle race, Tour de France, to redeploy security personnel to the blazes that forced tens of thousands of people to flee their homes, reports the Associated Press. The giant A400M transporter swooped in low, its long plume of ochre-colored retardant trailing over drought-hit woodlands on the ground that fought flames that authorities feared could spread toward the wine region city of Bordeaux in southwest France, 310 miles away from Paris. Wildfires in southern Europe last week have now displaced more than 250,000 people. Former Maine lawmaker replaces Graham Platner on Democratic ticket On Saturday, former state lawmaker and logger Troy Jackson secured the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in Maine and will face longtime GOP Senator Susan Collins in November in a race that could decide which party controls the Senate, reports The Associated Press. Jackson replaces Graham Platner, who won the Democratic primary in June, but withdrew from the race earlier this month following an allegation of sexual assault that Platner has denied.  Maine Democrats met Saturday to choose a new Senate nominee to face Collins. Trump's CDC nominee commits to abortion data reporting Former Deputy Surgeon General Dr. Erica Schwartz, President Donald Trump's nominee to head the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, testified last week that it is “absolutely critical” for the CDC to gather reliable abortion data upon which policymakers and health analysts can make decisions, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Nominated in April, Schwartz is currently appearing before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee for her confirmation hearings. Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri raised the matter of abortion data collection and analysis which the CDC had paused in November without explanation. HAWLEY: “The CDC collects data on abortions that are committed in the United States of America through a system called the ‘Abortion Reporting System.' This system is voluntary, and so a number of states, not coincidentally large blue states, do not turn over any data so that it's difficult to get a picture of just how many abortions, and under what circumstances, are committed in this country. We do know the numbers are going up, way up. Since the Dobbs decision -- well over a million abortions last year.  “Would you commit to collect the data on the number and circumstances of abortions, as is provided for in this system, and to work with those states that are currently holding out and not giving it to actually get the data so that we can know we can get a picture of what really is going on here? Will you do that? SCHWARTZ: “Senator, you have my commitment. Abortion surveillance is absolutely a critical component of what the CDC is currently doing. I will look into that.” HAWLEY: “Thank you.” SCHWARTZ: “But I also want to make sure that certain states are not conflating emergency services and hiding abortions in that emergency services case definition. We need to make sure we're pulling out true abortions and making sure that we're really having clear case definitions regarding abortions, so the data is actually accurate.” HAWLEY: “Fantastic!” Christian WNBA star attacked for opposing men in women's sports Sophie Cunningham, an eight-season WNBA veteran, got re-baptized earlier this year to reaffirm her Christian faith as an adult, reports The Christian Post. Appearing on “The Travis Hearn” podcast, she was asked about her faith. HEARN: “What's it like being a believer in Jesus Christ, a follower of Jesus, a woman of God, in the WNBA?” CUNNINGHAM: “For me, to be a believer in the W[NBA] … I think there's a lot more believers than you would actually, because a lot of people don't speak out about it. I am loud, I am confident, and I think being actually a woman of God, it's allowed me to walk into rooms with my shoulders back. I have a different type of swag and confidence about me because I know God has me.” Cunningham made headlines in 2022 when she approvingly retweeted an X post by CBS host Josh Prate opposing trans-identified male swimmer Will Thomas, who pretends to be a woman named “Lia,” being allowed on the women's team. As a result, the Left spewed hateful remarks about her on social media.  Indeed, 2 Timothy 3:12 says, “All those who want to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.” During an interview with ESPN last week, Cunningham asserted that she does not hate transgender-identifying people, but believes in standing up for young girls in their private spaces. CUNNINGHAM: “I think it's really important to protect children, and that's little girls who are also involved in that category. And so, I do have beliefs. I have morals, and I'll always stand on those and be true to who I am. And when it comes just to protecting young girls in sport and women in sport, I feel very strongly about that.” On July 23rd, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt expressed the Trump administration's solidarity with Sophie Cunningham. LEAVITT: “This is something the President feels strongly about as well, and the American people do too. Men should not be playing in women's sports. It's completely ludicrous that anyone could support that.  “It's even more ludicrous that you do have Sophia Cunningham, a female athlete herself, very accomplished in her own right, coming forth and speaking that truth that men shouldn't play in women's sports. We want to protect women and girls. “The backlash she is receiving from Democrats is astonishing. They are clearly very out of touch with the American public on this issue, which is an 80/20 issue. It's common sense. It's rooted in basic biological fact that men should not be competing against women on playing fields across the country.” And ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith affirmed Cunningham's insistence that men, pretending to be women, should not compete against biological women. SMITH: “I can't applaud her enough. This notion that you're hating on the ‘trans community' because you are not a proponent of them participating in female sports is utterly ridiculous. Sophie Cunningham said every word right on the money. There's no hate involved. There's only love we're talking about.  “But what happened to loving girls who are born biologically as girls. What about their rights? What about fairness associated to them?  Smith cited the story of Will Thomas, the male swimmer at the University of Pennsylvania, who is now pretending to be female as a good case in point revealing how demonstrably unfair it was to let him compete against biological women like Riley Gaines. SMITH: “'Lia Thomas.' I'm gonna keep bringing that name up: 400+ in the world competing as a male, transitions to female and he was number one. If we're gonna act like transitioning from male to female doesn't involve an advantage for that trans athlete, I have nothing to say to you. You're not exercising common sense.” Pastor Robert Jeffress' ministry surpasses 1 million YouTube subscribers Pastor Robert Jeffress' Pathway to Victory YouTube channel has surpassed 1 million subscribers, reports the Christian Post. Jeffress, who leads the 16,000-strong congregation at First Baptist Dallas, said the YouTube channel's launch was "an amazing opportunity to share the Gospel through our Bible-teaching ministry. We're grateful for the response.”  Amazingly, the church only launched the channel in 2024. Pathway to Victory was launched in 1996 and serves as the broadcast ministry for First Baptist Dallas and airs on 900 radio stations across the United States. Pastor Jeffress said, "Our mission has always been to pierce the darkness with the light of God's Word, and this [1 million subscriber milestone] is a testament to the power of the Gospel to transform lives." Worldview listener in North Carolina: Your news gives me hope! Karen Heyda in Hillsborough, North Carolina wrote me and said, “Mr. McManus, I was just listening to an episode of your tremendously uplifting, edifying and encouraging newscast. I am deeply grateful to you for giving us the world news from a Biblical perspective.  “That Biblical perspective gives me hope. Why? Because world news is typically BAD NEWS. It's often frightening and depressing. Yet when world news is presented from a Christian perspective, there is hope because Christ, our Redeemer, reigns and we are able to pray to Him and trust in Him Who makes all things new. “Reminding us of this truth encourages us to listen to your news program and to get on our knees and unite ourselves in prayer with and for those we've just heard about who need our prayers. Thank you for waking me up to a deeper and better way of responding to the world news today and every day.” 17 Worldview listeners gave $6,320.25 And finally, by Saturday night at 7:00pm Central, 17 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to fund the six-member team behind The Worldview for another year. Our thanks to the McVeda Family kiddos in Great Falls, Montana who raised another $42.25 on Friday selling chocolate chip cookies and glasses of tea.  This is their third donation. One lady bought 10 cookies for $20, a glass of tea for $5, and then donated an extra $10.  Their initial two gifts, which totaled $347, have inspired a growing number of Worldview listeners to donate $347 or make a monthly pledge of $28.92 for a year totaling $347. And that was exactly what 10-year-old Anna McVeda had prayed – that God would somehow use their fundraiser to excite others to contribute. I am so touched by the McVeda kiddos. By the way, Fred and Cathy in Cascade, Montana, the grandparents of the McVeda Family kids, were so inspired by what their grandkids are doing that they contributed $347 themselves last Thursday.  McManus is crying again! We appreciate the donations of Edward in Oro-Medonte, Ontario, Canada who gave $50, Logan and Quinn in Manzini, Eswatini, Africa $120, and Eli who is also from Eswatini, Africa and pledged $10/month for 12 months for a gift of $120. We're grateful to God for Marty in Roseburg, Oregon and an anonymous donor in Phoenix, Arizona – both of whom gave $200, Jason in Seffner, Florida who plans to continue his $25/month pledge for a gift of $300, and Bradley in Damascus, Oregon who gave $300. We were touched by the generosity of the McVeda Family-inspired donations of Frederick in Kennesaw, Georgia who pledged $28.92/month for 12 months for a gift of $347 as well as Rick in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Charlene in Wallkill, New York, and Keith in Watrous, Saskatchewan, Canada – each of whom gave $347. And we were touched by the sacrifice of Sam in Fellsmere, Florida, Brian in Dassel, Minnesota, and William in Lee's Summit, Missouri – each of whom gave $500. Plus, as I mentioned on Friday, an anonymous donor in Naples, Florida has just matched those first three gifts of $500 with another $1,500.   So, if you are one of the next 9 Worldview listeners to give a one-time gift of $500, the man in Naples, Florida will match your gifts as well. And we are appreciative of Andrew in Calgary, Alberta, Canada who pledged $50/month for 12 months for a gift of $600. Those 17 gifts add up to $6,320.25. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please. (drum roll sound effect) $62,383 (sound effect of people cheering) We need to raise $61,117 by midnight on Friday, July 31! That means in order to hit our final goal of $123,500 by this Friday, July 31st, God needs to prompt folks to give an astounding $61,117 in order for the 6-member Worldview newscast team to be fully funded for another year. At this newscast, we champion the truth and use the Bible as our plumbline. So, if you have been waiting until the last minute, this … is … it!  We could really use your help.  The finish line is this Friday! Would you consider being one of 25 people to pledge $100/month for 12 months for a gift of $1,200, one of 26 people to pledge $50/month for 12 months for a gift of $600, or one of 52 people to pledge $25/month for 12 months for a gift of $300? Just go to TheWorldview.com, click on Give, select the dollar amount, and make sure to click on the “recurring” button if that's your wish.   And remember, if you want to continue your monthly pledge to The Worldview that you started in a previous year, please let me know so we can count your generous ongoing gift toward our total. What does God want you to give? Go to TheWorldview.com and click on Give. Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, July 27th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

There is hope for guilty sinners because God is a forgiving Redeemer.

Greg Morse | There are many things we can approach casually, but God's word is not among them. The Maker of worlds and Redeemer of souls deserves far more than flippant attention.

1 Peter 5:1-51So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed: 2shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly; 3not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock. 4And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory. 5Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

We are faithful and loyal because the Lord our Redeemer is perfectly faithful to His people. Loyalty leads to initiative. As believers, we are called to be loyal in our relationships, in our workplaces, and in our church community. The post Character Studies: Ruth appeared first on Reston Bible Church.

Matt James // Ruth 3 // 07.26.2026

The Psalms contain roughly 30 to 31 praise psalms, and they reveal that praise is far more than a feeling. It is a joyfully reverent, outward expression of adoration that exalts God for who He is and stirs others to do the same. Scripture gives a clear pattern for praise, including shouting, singing, lifting hands, dancing, and playing instruments, all rooted in a heart genuinely moved by God. Nearly every praise psalm follows three movements: a call to praise, reasons rooted in who God is and what He has done, and a return to active worship. The praise psalms also point to deep gospel truths, including God as both Creator and Redeemer, His sovereign kingship, and the tension between His perfect holiness and His steadfast, covenant love. Private worship and public worship are deeply connected, each feeding and strengthening the other. The goal is not a performance but an overflow of a heart that has been captured by the gospel.

Psalms 106, Luke 23:39-43 The Rev. Lane Cowin

What if the same God who spoke the universe into existence — fine-tuned every star, every cell, every strand of your 42 billion miles of DNA — did it all knowing He would one day redeem you?That is the heart of our new series, Reconstructing Faith. Creation and redemption are not two separate stories. They are one. Jesus was present at creation as Redeemer, and Ephesians 1:4-5 reminds us that God chose us in Christ before the world was even made.You were not an afterthought. You were made to be redeemed. God loved you at your worst, and He is still in the business of buying back what was lost — your soul, your story, your failures — and using it all for His glory.Join us as we journey through Genesis and Hebrews 11 and discover what it means to truly believe.

Old Testament Ezra 1; 3-7; Nehemiah 2; 4-6; 8 | The Apostle D. Todd Harrison In this sacred message, The Apostle D. Todd Harrison unlocks the divine pattern of restoration, governance, spiritual warfare, and covenant identity found in Ezra 1; 3–7 and Nehemiah 2; 4–6; 8 — chapters that reveal how God rebuilds His people, His house, and His purpose in every generation.The Apostle D. Todd Harrison speaks from a rare and extraordinary lineage:Through two distinct genealogical lines, he is a direct descendant of King Cyrus the Great — the only person besides Jesus Christ whom God Himself calls “My Messiah” (Isaiah 45). Cyrus was the world leader chosen by God to release the Jews from Babylonian captivity and empower them to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem.He is also a direct descendant of Zerubbabel, the Davidic governor who oversaw the physical rebuilding of the Temple and restored the worship of the True God in Jerusalem.This dual lineage — Cyrus the liberator and Zerubbabel the builder — gives The Apostle D. Todd Harrison a uniquely authoritative voice when teaching on restoration, rebuilding, and divine governance."I testify that Jesus Christ is our Lord, Savior, and Redeemer. He is ALIVE TODAY!In the name of Jesus Crist, amen.The Apostle D. Todd HarrisonDirect Apostle of Jesus ChristCalled directly by the Lord Himself—just as Paul was on the Damascus Road (Galatians 1:1; Acts 26:13–20)“Not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead.” — Galatians 1:1Set apart by the Lord according to the ancient pattern Now in the Seventh Year of Global Apostolic Ministry to All NationsDescendant of the 6th‑Generation LDS General Authority Richards FamilyDescendant of the covenant royal lineage of David and Solomon, and all their descended biblical kings appointed by God and recorded throughout the Old Testament, whose line carried the Messianic promise

Part 3 in series The post Healthy Discipleship appeared first on Redeemer Community Church.

In this message, we dive into Philippians 1:12-18, where Paul shifts the Philippians' perspective from his chains to Christ's work through the advance of the gospel. This passage challenges us not to view suffering and setbacks as interruptions to God's purposes, but as opportunities to see the gospel move forward. We also see that when the good news of Jesus is at work in our lives, our desire for Christ to be known and proclaimed grows, something we'll see clearly in the Apostle Paul.Brad Lytle will also be sharing about a church-planting effort in the northern city of Flin Flon, MB, that his family, along with two other families, will be stepping into. They are seeking to be sent out from their home church, Emmanuel Baptist Church in Nipawin, SK, to plant Redeemer Baptist Church in Flin Flon in the summer of 2027.Brad and his wife, Christina, have four children (two boys and two girls). Brad currently serves as the Dean of Student Life at Nipawin Bible College and is a member of Emmanuel Baptist Church. He will be serving as the Lead Planter-Pastor while also working part-time. Their desire is to see a gospel-preaching church established in the North that exalts our Redeemer, Jesus Christ, by making disciples in Flin Flon, Creighton, and beyond.

Original Post Date: July 26, 2024 === Gospel Matthew 13:18-23 Jesus said to his disciples: “Hear the parable of the sower. The seed sown on the path is the one who hears the word of the Kingdom without understanding it, and the Evil One comes and steals away what was sown in his heart. The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word and receives it at once with joy. But he has no root and lasts only for a time. When some tribulation or persecution comes because of the word, he immediately falls away. The seed sown among thorns is the one who hears the word, but then worldly anxiety and the lure of riches choke the word and it bears no fruit. But the seed sown on rich soil is the one who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and yields a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold.” Reflection We learn something about human nature here, that the work of becoming who God calls us to be, to be authentic, to be who we really are, is not an easy thing. And It takes work and takes time. But it seems that if we believe it, if we believe that the things he's asking us to do or to understand, if we know that that's true, then there's going to be a capacity to do this work of receiving the truth in a way that will not be destroyed by our human weaknesses. Jesus said, it's the one who hears the word and understands it. That's the key. Closing Prayer Father, you reveal yourself as a God that is a Trinity. God the father, the creator. God the son, the Redeemer. Then you have this mysterious Holy Spirit, which is the one who is there with you to help you understand, to help you to see. That's the purpose of the Holy Spirit, to be that catalyst in us that opens our eyes to see what is true. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices.

At the shrines there, she had visions of what Jesus had said and done in each place.When she was only ten, it is recorded that she had a vision of Jesus on the cross and heard him say, “Look at me, my daughter.""Who has treated you like this?" cried little Bridget.Jesus answered, "Those who despise me and refuse my love for them.” From that moment on, Bridget tried to stop people from offending Jesus.All St. Bridget's revelations on the sufferings of Jesus were published after her death.Ave Maria!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!

On this episode, David Wollen continues through the book of Job, discovering the anchor of hope that held Job fast and still holds every believer today.

1 Peter 4:12-1912Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13But rejoice insofar as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. 14If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. 15But let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a meddler. 16Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name. 17For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? 18And“If the righteous is scarcely saved,    what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”19Therefore let those who suffer according to God's will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good.

With Brooks away on vacation, Adam takes over the host's chair—and Jason and Eric join him for an episode filled with ministry updates, meaningful reflections, and some wonderfully strange rabbit trails.The guys celebrate students returning from MFuge, where an unexpected change of plans led to blessing bags, neighborhood prayer walks, and two courageous student testimonies. Then they explore the beautiful story of Ruth and Boaz, discovering how the kinsman redeemer points directly toward Jesus and reminds us that God is weaving together a story far greater than anything we can see in the moment.Along the way, Adam's security camera mistakes a dog for two wild turkeys, reports a fully clothed man watering the lawn, and eventually claims someone is vacuuming the grass. Plus, the guys make an important biblical discovery: He-Man really is in the Bible—they were just missing the dash.It's an episode about unexpected plans, unlikely people, God's redeeming work…and artificial intelligence that still cannot identify a turkey.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260720dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion “This is what the Lord says—Israel’s King and Redeemer, the Lord Almighty: I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God. Who then is like me?” Isaiah 44: 6-7 The Bible Stands Alone In Old Testament times, God gave his people a visible reminder of his presence called the Ark of the Covenant. There was a time when the Ark of the Covenant was captured by the Philistines who had defeated Israel in battle and claimed the ark as their prize. Since they already believed in many gods, why not add the God of Israel as well? So, they placed the ark in the temple of their god, Dagon. The next morning, when they went to worship Dagon, there he lay, facedown before the ark of the Lord! So, Dagon was put back in his place. The next morning, it was the same result—Dagon facedown before the ark of the Lord, but this time his head and hands had broken off. Message received! The ark needed to go back to Israel because Dagon could not handle being in the presence of the Lord. (1 Samuel 5) God has placed in our hearts an awareness that there is a God and a desire to know that God. Throughout the course of human history, different gods and goddesses, spirits, and mystical powers have been proclaimed as gods. But “who then is like me?” asks the Lord. The best that the false worshippers could hope for is that their gods and goddesses would send rain and grow their fields and grow their families and flocks. If they gave the right sacrifices, perhaps those gods would listen. The Lord God stands alone. He does something that sinful minds couldn’t have even imagined. He came to us, wearing our flesh and blood. He redeemed us, taking our sinful failures upon himself. He loves us, promising his presence with us through life and preparing a place in eternity with him when this life comes to its close. Truly, the God of the Bible stands alone. Prayer: Lord God, help me to see you for you who are—eternal, powerful, and singular in your love for fallen humanity. Move my heart to serve you in my life. Amen.

Join us as we continue in the book of Ruth, as we find out that it's more than a beautiful love story, it's a powerful picture of the Gospel. In this message, we explore why every one of us needs redemption, how our hearts naturally drift from God, and how Jesus fulfills every qualification of our perfect Redeemer. Through the life of Boaz, we see a glimpse of Christ: a Redeemer who was willing, qualified, and able to pay the price we could never pay ourselves. Finally, we're challenged to consider our own response, approaching Jesus with humility, faith, and complete surrender. If you've ever wondered what redemption truly means and how it changes your life today, this message is for you.
