It's Monday, March 2, 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 United States and Israel bombed Iran The long-simmering threat of conflict between Washington, Jerusalem and Tehran erupted Saturday morning as the United States and Israel launched sweeping airstrikes against Iran, reports NBC News. The launch of “Operation Epic Fury” followed months of heated rhetoric and repeated warnings from President Trump about military intervention in Iran. U.S. and partner forces struck multiple targets, including Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps command and control facilities, Iranian air defense capabilities, missile and drone launch sites, and military airfields. Not only was Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei killed, but so was his top security adviser, his chief military secretary, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander, the Defense Minister, the Head of Iranian military intelligence, and former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, reports Axios and Israel National News. Trump: We will destroy Iran's “wicked, radical dictatorship” In an 8-minute address to America, President Donald Trump explained why he believed the attack on Iran was necessary. TRUMP: “Our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime. For 47 years, the Iranian regime has chanted ‘Death to America' and waged an unending campaign of bloodshed and mass murder targeting the United States, our troops, and the innocent people in many, many countries.” The president laid out the litany of Iranian attacks from the 1979 U.S. Embassy Hostage Crisis in which dozens of Americans were taken hostage for 444 days and the 1983 bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut that killed 241 soldiers to the attack on the U.S.S. Cole in 2000, the killing of U.S. soldiers in Iraq, and the Iranian-funded attack on Israel through Hamas on October 7, 2023. TRUMP: “For these reasons, the United States military is undertaking a massive and ongoing operation to prevent this very wicked, radical dictatorship from threatening America and our core national security interests. We are going to destroy their missiles and raze their missile industry to the ground. It will be totally obliterated. We're going to annihilate their navy. We're going to ensure that the region's terrorist proxies can no longer destabilize the region or the world.” Isaiah 10:1-2 says, “Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless.” President Trump expressed concern for the safety of U.S. soldiers. TRUMP: “The lives of courageous American heroes may be lost and we may have casualties. That often happens in war. We pray for every service member as they selflessly risk their lives to ensure that Americans, and our children, will never be threatened by a nuclear-armed Iran. We ask God to protect all of our heroes in harm's way. And we trust that with His help, the men and women of the armed forces will prevail.” Sadly, three U.S. service members have been killed in action, as part of the Trump administration's “Operation Epic Fury,” reports NewsNation.com. Iranians celebrating in the streets Anti-regime protesters in southern Iran tore down a statue of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in celebration of his death on Saturday, reports The Telegraph. In Tehran, loud cheers echoed from rooftops and through the streets.   Listen. (audio of Iranians celebrating) Celebratory music played, car horns honked and fireworks were set off in parts of the capital at around 11pm local time. They were joined by Iranians across the world who celebrated the Supreme Leader's downfall after he was killed in a barrage of US and Israeli missile strikes early on Saturday morning. Senator Ted Cruz: Bombing Iran is “single most important decision of [Trump's] presidency” Appearing on CBS' Face the Nation, Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas applauded President Trump's decision to bomb Iran. CRUZ: “President Trump's decision to launch this decisive action against Iran is the single most important decision of his presidency. He is taking this action because the government of Iran is a profound and malign influence. “They have been the leading state sponsor of terrorism for 47 years. They have, over that time, killed nearly 1,000 Americans. They provide more than 90% of the funding for Hamas. They provide more than 90% of the funding for Hezbollah, the Iranian Ayatollah, was, until yesterday, actively trying to murder the President of the United States, Donald J Trump.” Senator Lindsey Graham: “The mothership of terrorism is about to go down!” Appearing on Fox & Friends, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina was grateful the American people re-elected President Trump in 2024. GRAHAM: “My feeling today is that I'm very glad that President Trump won and Kamala Harris lost. Unfortunately, the modern Democratic Party is pathetic in the face of evil. “The difference between Donald Trump and our Democratic colleagues, he's common sense. He understands the world. He's of the mindset that the Ayatollah is Hitler in a robe, wearing a turban; that he's not capable of changing his ways. “Donald Trump does not get us entangled in forever wars, but he sure stands up to the bad guys, and he makes us safer. This is the most consequential decision any President has made since 1979.” Senator Graham predicted a major re-set in the Middle East because of “Operation Epic Fury.” GRAHAM: “If the regime falls, I think Saudi Arabia, the keeper of the holy mosque and Mecca and Medina, the center of Islam, will go back to the table to try to do peace with Israel. We were close before, before October the seventh. October the seventh was designed to stop normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel. “I think when this regime collapses, we'll be back at the table of normalization. If Saudi Arabia recognizes Israel it will be the biggest change in 1,000 years in the history of the MidEast. If this regime falls -- Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis terrorist network supported by Iran -- will collapse, slowly but surely. “The mothership of terrorism is about to go down. There's a new dawn coming in the Mideast.” Mass shooting in Austin leaves 3 dead and 14 wounded Three people are dead and 14 have been injured after a mass shooting at a popular bar along West Sixth Street in downtown Austin, Texas during the early morning hours of Sunday, March 1, reports the San Antonio Express-News. The shooting took place at Buford's, a popular bar along the West Sixth Street entertainment strip. Anniversary of John Wesley's death And finally, John Wesley, the English evangelist, who was a principal leader of a revival movement within the Church of England known as Methodism, died at the age of 87 on this day, March 2nd in 1791. Wesley placed his faith in Christ on May 24, 1738. Referring to our Savior Jesus Christ, Luke wrote in Acts 4:12, “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” In his early ministry years, Wesley was barred from preaching in many parish churches and the Methodists were persecuted. Under Wesley's direction, Methodists became leaders in many social issues of the day, including the abolition of slavery. He became known for the Wesley Covenant Prayer. It says, “I am no longer my own, but Thine. Put me to what Thou wilt, rank me with whom Thou wilt. Put me to doing, put me to suffering. Let me be employed for Thee or laid aside for Thee, exalted for Thee or brought low for Thee. Let me be full, let me be empty. Let me have all things, let me have nothing. I freely and heartily yield all things to Thy pleasure and disposal. And now, O glorious and blessed God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Thou art mine, and I am Thine. So be it. And the covenant which I have made on Earth, let it be ratified in Heaven. Amen.” Wesley wrote hymns including “O For A Thousand Tongues To Sing.” “O for a thousand tongues to sing my great Redeemer's praise, the glories of my God and King, the triumphs of His grace! My gracious Master and my God, assist me to proclaim, to spread thro' all the Earth abroad the honors of Thy name.” John Wesley became widely respected, and by the end of his life, was described as "the best-loved man in England.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, March 2nd, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

Luke 22:31-34, 39-46, 54-6231“Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, 32but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.” 33Peter said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death.” 34Jesus said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, until you deny three times that you know me.”39And he came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him. 40And when he came to the place, he said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.” 41And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and knelt down and prayed, 42saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.” 43And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. 44And being in agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground. 45And when he rose from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow, 46and he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”54Then they seized him and led him away, bringing him into the high priest's house, and Peter was following at a distance. 55And when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them. 56Then a servant girl, seeing him as he sat in the light and looking closely at him, said, “This man also was with him.” 57But he denied it, saying, “Woman, I do not know him.” 58And a little later someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.” 59And after an interval of about an hour still another insisted, saying, “Certainly this man also was with him, for he too is a Galilean.” 60But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are talking about.” And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed. 61And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the saying of the Lord, how he had said to him, “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny me three times.” 62And he went out and wept bitterly.

Today we're stepping into Psalm 31 and Isaiah 59; two passages that meet us in moments when it feels like God is distant and the world feels broken. Psalm 31 is a cry of trust in the middle of distress, declaring, ‘Into Your hands I commit my spirit.' Isaiah 59 confronts the reality that sin creates separation; not because God is weak, but because our choices build walls. Yet even there, God steps in as Redeemer. If you've ever wrestled with silence from heaven or longed for restoration, this episode reminds us that trust and repentance open the door for God to move. Let's dive in.As always be blessed and enjoy.Please follow, like, and share our podcast with a friend or family member!

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 6:18-20. We don't flirt with fire. We don't negotiate with danger. And when it comes to sexual sin, Paul gives only one command: Run. Sprint. Get out fast. Not because you're weak—but because you know what's at stake. Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. — 1 Corinthians 6:18–20 Paul doesn't tell you to manage sexual sin. He doesn't tell you to reason with it. He doesn't even tell you to pray near it. He tells you to flee. Why? Because sexual sin cuts deeper. It reshapes your desires. It wounds your soul. It touches the very place where God dwells. And then Paul gives the identity anchor that makes the command make sense: You. Are. Bought. Bought with blood. Bought at full price. Bought out of slavery. Bought into freedom. Jesus didn't shed discount blood to redeem you into discount living. That's why Paul's logic is so sharp: If Christ paid full price, stop selling yourself at bargain rates. You don't belong to sin anymore. You don't belong to your impulses. You don't belong to your past desires. You belong to Christ. And belonging determines behavior. This is why fleeing isn't cowardice—it's courage. It's saying: "I know my worth. I know my calling. I know my Redeemer. I know who paid for me." Every step away from sin is a step toward the Savior who bought you. Every act of fleeing is an act of worship. So glorify God in your body. Run like someone who knows what they're worth. Run like someone who has been bought with priceless blood, not discount blood. DO THIS: Choose one practical step to "flee": delete an app, cut off a pathway to sin, confess to a trusted believer, or move physically away from a tempting environment. ASK THIS: Where have I tried to manage sin instead of fleeing from it? What "bargain-rate" lies have convinced me my body is mine to use however I want? How does remembering the price Jesus paid reshape how I treat my body? PRAY THIS: Father, thank You for buying me at the highest cost. Help me flee what destroys my soul and run toward the One who redeemed me. Strengthen my mind, guard my desires, and make my body a place that honors You. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Jesus Paid It All"

Send a textWhen “truth” is used without love, it wounds. We dive into Job 19 and confront a hard question: what happens when orthodox ideas get applied with certainty but without wisdom or compassion? Bildad's tidy retribution formula—suffering equals secret sin—meets Job's unwavering integrity, and the tension reveals something vital for every believer who cares about theology and people. We walk through the turning point of the dialogue, showing how Job answers not from pride but from zeal that God's ways be represented faithfully.Across the conversation, we examine the danger of presumption disguised as piety. Systems and creeds can serve the church, but only when they submit to Scripture and are handled with care. We explore why God's providence is not always transparent and why it's faithful—not weak—to leave room for mystery. You'll hear practical counsel on resisting the urge to “fill in the blanks,” on standing up when silence would signal surrender, and on holding righteous anger without crossing into sin. This is a masterclass in how to defend truth with grace.Most importantly, we spotlight the hope that steadies Job: a living Redeemer. That hope does not erase lament; it purifies it. It frees us to acknowledge pain, refuse false guilt, and keep speaking courageously when God's character is on the line. If you've ever seen suffering misread or doctrine weaponized, this conversation will help you rebuild a more faithful lens—one where affliction can coexist with righteousness, and where love governs how we handle every hard text and harder moment. Listen, reflect, and share this with someone who needs a wiser, kinder theology of suffering. If this helped you think more clearly and care more deeply, subscribe, leave a review, and tell a friend.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Send a textWhen a student walked into the office during the pandemic asking whether his father would live long enough for a transplant, it exposed a gap many youth pastors feel but rarely name: we can teach Scripture and organize programs, but do we know how to shepherd teenagers when fear, grief, and uncertainty overwhelm them?We sit down with Dr. Randy Jackson to talk about a gospel-shaped approach to soul care that equips parents as the primary shapers of a teen's faith. We trace his journey from a pandemic crisis to building a practical framework that deepens conversations at home and in small groups and why equipping parents remains the most strategic work in student ministry.This episode offers practical tools for youth pastors, volunteers, and parents who want to move beyond behavior management and into Christ-centered care for the inner lives of teenagers.

Scripture: Psalms 146Title: I Will Praise! SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. When we praise, adore, and worship the Almighty God, we acknowledge His holiness, supreme power, and loving character. This is our act of sacrifice to honor Him as Creator and Redeemer, and to celebrate His faithfulness, goodness, mercy, and love. We can offer praise and worship through song, scripture, prayer, and silent reflection. Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul! I will praise the Lord as long as I live;I will sing praises to my God while I have my being. Psalm 146:1-2 Notice the repetition: “Praise the Lord.” This reflects the psalmist's personal commitment to live a life of praise. This word in Hebrew is Hallelujah! The commitment to praise the Lord involves choosing not to rely on others. We cannot place our trust or dependence solely on people. Do not trust in princes, in mortal man, in whom there is no salvation.Psalm 146:3 Praise and adoration belong to God. He is worthy, holy, and the Sovereign Creator. Worship is our way of showing gratitude to the Lord. God created us to worship Him. Praise opens a path for us to experience His presence. God inhabits the praise of His people. Let all that I am praise the Lord; with my whole heart, I will praise His holy name. Psalm 103:1 Song: Worthy Of It All – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZ7prJcwB8o

The King's AuthorityMark 1:21-45Rev. Bill McCutchen

Pre-eminent in the Church, Christ is our complete answer and the redeemer of our souls.  Pastor Al Dagel finishes this three-part series beautifully.  Please tell others to listen and praise our Redeemer!

John 17:1-261When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, 2since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. 3And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. 4I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. 5And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.6“I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7Now they know that everything that you have given me is from you. 8For I have given them the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me. 9I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours. 10All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them. 11And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one. 12While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. 16They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. 18As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.20“I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, 21that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me. 24Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. 25O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. 26I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.”

Lent is not about good advice to help us do better, but good news that Jesus succeeds where we fail. Jesus was tested as we are—40 days in the wilderness echoing Israel's 40 years—yet he triumphed. Temptation reveals what is truly in us. We cannot excuse our sin as mere humanity, for Jesus shared our humanity without surrendering to sin. The hope of Lent is this: our salvation rests not on the strength of our resolve, but on the sufficiency of our Redeemer.

In this powerful eighth message in The Heroes and Great Stories of the Bible, Pastor Verna DeHart takes us into the life of Gideon, a man who began in fear but was transformed into a faith-filled deliverer.Israel had drifted. A new generation forgot the miracles, the deliverance, and the faithfulness of God. As recorded in the Book of Judges, Midian invaded at harvest time, stripping the land and starving the people. Hidden in a winepress, threshing wheat in fear, Gideon hardly looked like a hero.Yet God called him something different: “Mighty man of fearless courage.”In this episode, you'll discover: How God calls you by your destiny, not your current condition Why honest questions don't offend God How faith grows step by step through encounter Why God sometimes reduces your resources to reveal His power How obedience unlocks supernatural victory Pastor Verna reminds us that hiding does not disqualify us, reduction is not rejection, and God's strength is always enough.We also begin with a powerful “Battle Seed Promise” from Ruth 2:12, a reminder that when we sow in faith under our Redeemer's covering, He sees and richly rewards us. Just as Ruth stepped out in obedience in a season of lack and found refuge under God's wings, we are invited to declare:“I sow in faith and take refuge in God my Redeemer, who sees my work and richly rewards me.”This message concludes with Communion, served by our youth, a beautiful picture of faith passed to the next generation.If you've ever felt hidden, reduced, or unsure, this message will remind you who God says you are.From fearful to faith-filled, your story isn't finished yet.

In this message, Pastor Marco teaches from Ruth 4:1–12 and highlights the cost of redemption through Boaz's faithful obedience at the city gate. The message shows how God's will is revealed through decisive, responsible steps and how true redemption always requires sacrifice. Ultimately, the story of Ruth points to Jesus—the true Redeemer—who paid the full price at the cross and secured our future by grace.

I Know that My Redeemer Lives with poem by Beth McGinnis

Sabbath is war against anything that would take God's place in your life. This week we take a peek deeper into God's rest. How God is inviting us into His rest. And how rest is an act of worship, not for us, but rather, for God! And how we image God when we give rest to others!

At Redeemer, we take seriously Jesus' call to "Go and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." Apprenticeship to Jesus is not a one time decision, but a lifelong journey of following Jesus as our master-teacher. Since the goal of the Christian life is maturity in Jesus, apprenticeship must be deep and holistic, transforming the spiritual, physical, emotional, social, and vocational parts of men and women. Apprenticeship to Jesus is learning to practice the way of Jesus in our homes, relationships, neighborhoods, and jobs. We believe Christlikeness is cultivated as we implement spiritual practices, live in community with other believers, and submit to the Word and the Spirit. We agree with Dallas Willard who said, "that the gospel is opposed to earning, not effort." As we move towards cultivating a life of loving God and people, we trust Christ will mature us into his likeness. https://redeemerwichita.church/

In week six of our series through the book of Job, Pastor Jim explores chapter 28 and the limits of human answers to suffering. As Job's friends cling to simplistic systems, we're reminded that wisdom cannot be mined, bought, or mastered. Instead, true understanding begins with awe-filled trust in God. In a world searching for explanations, we are invited to anchor our hope in this truth: our Redeemer lives.

Redemption always costs something. It's not clean or easy. And for Boaz it looks like legal action. He has weighed the responsibility and is ready to redeem if the nearer kinsman redeemer refuses. This unknown redeemer, concerned with earthly inheritance, isn't willing to pay the cost. By grace, we have a Redeemer in Jesus Christ, who gave up His inheritance in heaven to come pay the cost of redemption for us with His own life.

Jeremiah 31:10-17

In this section of Ruth, we're introduced to the most important word of the story, "Redeemer." This one word changes the whole story from a nice one about a man helping some women in need to God making things right. In doing so, he shows us how he'll redeem his people through Jesus and how he redeems even the hardest challenges we face.

“Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.” (John 18:40) Unfortunately, this is the attitude of every generation toward its Creator and Redeemer. J... More...

Abraham's Covenant: The God Who Calls, Promises, and Delivers (Genesis 12-17) | Apostle D. Todd HarrisonI testify that the record of Abraham is a witness of the Living God.

The promises made to Abraham are sure, and the God who delivered him will deliver all who trust in His name.I testify that Jesus Christ is the Redeemer of all mankind. He lives. He leads His people. He remembers His promises. I witness that He will soon return to reign as Lord of lords and King of kings. Of Him I declare to all nations and generations. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.D.

Ash Wednesday, Solitude, and Death Matthew 6:1-6, 16-21 Ash Wednesday Wednesday, February 18, 2026 The Rev. Andrew DeFusco, Rector Church of the Redeemer, Nashville, TN www.Redeemer-Nashville.net

It has been said, “I will believe in the Redeemer when Christians look more redeemed.” One of the most powerful ways the gospel is displayed is through genuine, selfless service. The quickest way into the presence of God is through the servant's entrance. God is calling Christ-followers to step into the real needs in the lives of unbelievers, because one act of love may become a doorway into eternity.

God is coming to do something about all the injustice and evil in the world. Isaiah makes that clear. He is coming to bring justice. But is that good news for us or bad news? It depends on which side of God's justice you're on. Because of our Redeemer, we know that for us, God's justice means salvation and life.

Well, we are going to be studying in the book of Numbers and chapter 20. We began that chapter last week. We're going to continue now with verse 14. And there's an important word that appears here, and we're going to see that this word is connected to Moses, and we need to remember something. Moses was the first Redeemer. We find that the Exodus from Egypt is understood in Judaism as the first redemption. But what do we look forward to?

Today is day 48 and we are beginning the section on the Second Article of the Apostles' Creed on Jesus Christ the Son of God. Today we are on the fourth line: “I believe in Jesus Christ” and studying question 48. 48. Who is Jesus Christ? Jesus Christ is the eternal Word and Son of God, the second Person of the Holy Trinity. He took on human nature to be the Savior and Redeemer of the world, the only Mediator between God and fallen humanity. (Psalm 2; Malachi 3:1; John 1:1–18; Philippians 2:5–11; 1 Timothy 2:5–6) We will conclude today with Prayer 96. For Union with Christ found on page 674 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Mark 10:4545For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”John 13:1-171Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. 2During supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him, 3Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going back to God, 4rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, tied it around his waist. 5Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him. 6He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?” 7Jesus answered him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand.” 8Peter said to him, “You shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no share with me.” 9Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!” 10Jesus said to him, “The one who has bathed does not need to wash, except for his feet, but is completely clean. And you are clean, but not every one of you.” 11For he knew who was to betray him; that was why he said, “Not all of you are clean.”12When he had washed their feet and put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, “Do you understand what I have done to you? 13You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. 14If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. 15For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you. 16Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

Sheep are restless. The hardest thing, is getting them to rest. Sheep would rather be consumed than rest. Sound familiar? The sheep think they know best, but the shepherd makes them rest.

The King's CallingMark 1:14-20Rev. Eric McKiddie

David Armstrong, Daniel Saunders, John Herron, Jason Miller - From the beginning of SBCC's story, a friendship has been growing with the people of Redeemer Central Church in Belfast, Northern Ireland. This weekend, we had the privilege of a visit from seven of Redeemer's leaders who made the trip across the pond to be with us. In our gatherings, we explored the ways Redeemer holds space for doubt and faith; the power of Redeemer's practice of prayer; and the wisdom they've gained in the context of a post-conflict society.  What's Happening Join us in reading James Cone's The Cross and the Lynching Tree and RSVP to the roundtable discussion. Head to our website to find a list of Black History Month events happening in our city. Register for our Lent Workshop or listen to our conversation with our guide, Dr. Macie Sweet. Support the ongoing work of SBCC by giving to the general fund. South Bend City Church is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization. All donations are tax-deductible. Make sure to select the correct fund when giving.

Ruth and Boaz exhibit faith in courageous action. Going to the threshing floor meant putting everything on the line, yet Ruth goes and makes a proposal to Boaz. In knowing he is a redeemer, they both understand the Lord's provision here, and the matter will be settled in the morning. These two point the greater love story of Christ our Redeemer sheltering us under His wings. However this life plays out, we are to be faithful, knowing that the Lord's faithfulness endures forever.
