The Bible tells us that Christ is coming again—so how should we live in the meantime? Author and Bible teacher Lee Brainard (soothkeep.info) joins Sound Words to explain what true watchfulness looks like in light of the Lord's return. From Matthew 24 to 1 Thessalonians 5, we discuss how believers can live with alertness, hope, and holiness—redeeming the time and keeping their eyes fixed on eternity.
When accusations or misunderstandings come against your faith, what does it look like to give a Christ-centered defense rather than a self-defensive reaction? In his sermon: “Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose!” centered on Acts 24:1 – 25:12, Pastor Josiah walks us into the Roman courtroom of Caesarea, where the apostle Paul stands accused before Governor Felix. Surrounded by power, politics, and hostility, Paul defends himself not with manipulation but with conviction—his worship is to the Lord, his hope is anchored in the resurrection, and his conscience is clear before God and man. This passage reveals that the gospel itself, not merely Paul, is on trial—and that even in chains, God's mission is unstoppable.As Christ's chosen people, we are called to live with integrity and to boldly defend His truth before all. When our eyes are fixed on Christ and our hearts are full of love for Him, we truly can't lose—because even through persecution and hardship, the gospel advances, God's purposes prevail, and His truth cannot be silenced.
In Ruth chapter 2, we see one of the most authentic love stories in Scripture — a story not just of romance, but of redemption. Boaz serves before he’s served. Ruth works faithfully and waits patiently. Together, they show us that God’s way is still the best way for every relationship. Whether you’re single, dating, or married, this message will challenge you to trust God’s timing and pursue love His way.

How will you respond to your children when they make a mistake or do something wrong? What will you say if your daughter turns her back on all that you taught her and winds up sexually active and pregnant? What will you say if your son gets suspended from school for fighting? What will you do if you find drug paraphernalia in your teen's room? What will you do if your daughter gets arrested for shoplifting? Remember that just like you and me, your teen's sinfulness is the greatest problem they face. All teens will encounter temptation and all teens will make sinful choices. The determining factor in whether or not a bad choice turns into a situation that gets better or worse will depend on your response. Let me suggest that your goal should be to redeem these situations by turning a mistake into an opportunity for your teen to become a more Godly and Christ-like person. Treat them with the same grace your Heavenly Father treats you when you are the offending party.

GO FORWARD CONFERENCE '25| EPISODE 3| THE SHIP| CHIMDI OHAHUNA| GRACELIFECOMI PODCAST "And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships."Mark 4:36 In this episode, we journey deeper into the mystery of movement—how Jesus transitioned from preaching to crossing, without stepping down from the ship. The ship wasn't just a vessel—it was a symbol of urgency and divine provision. Key Themes: A. Urgency Jesus preached from the same ship He sailed in. He didn't step down. He didn't delay. He moved with purpose. - Urgency constrains luxury - Urgency reveals priority - Urgency redeems time - Urgency propels transition "The king's business required haste." (1 Samuel 21:9b) "Redeeming the time, because the days are evil." (Ephesians 5:16) B. Divine Provision Though Jesus could walk on water, He chose a man-made ship. - God uses human vehicles—men, money, machines, materials - Men are the most valuable provision - God meets needs through relationships, not isolation - Worship God, value men, build mutual and symbiotic relationships "Give, and it shall be given unto you… shall men give into your bosom." (Luke 6:38) "He who loves God must love his brother also." (1 John 4:21) Action Points: - Live with urgency—every day counts - Use what God has provided—don't wait for the miraculous when the practical is available - Value people—your harvest may be in someone's hand - Build godly, mutual relationships—your ship is made of men Tune in and receive grace to move with urgency and honor divine provision. Jesus is Lord.

In this episode, our pastors explore the vital role of self-discipline in the Christian life and the pursuit of sanctification. Why is self-discipline difficult—even for pastors and leaders? What does the Bible mean by discipline, self-control, and self-denial? And how does God use these to shape us into Christlikeness? Through Scripture, practical analogies, and real-life challenges, the pastors discuss: • Why discipline is essential—not only for leaders, but for every believer • How true self-discipline is rooted in love for God and others • The transformative power of spiritual habits like prayer and Scripture • How discipline produces joy, peace, and spiritual fruit • What to do when you struggle or feel spiritually distracted • How to pursue consistent growth in following Jesus Click here to Subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCenfIkvDIJa4Qb4WgsH8hkw?sub_confirmation=1 REDEEMING TRUTH MEDIA: http://redeemingtruthmedia.org/ Follow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/redeemerbibleaz/ For more information about Redeemer Bible Church in Gilbert, Arizona, or to help support this ministry, please visit us at https://www.redeemeraz.org Join our Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/redeemeraz Follow us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/redeemeraz Never miss a sermon, find our Redeeming Truth Podcast in your favorite player, and subscribe!

Send us a textWhat if your job—loved or loathed—could become worship? We pull back the curtain on a bigger, better story of work, starting with Genesis 2 where God places humanity in the garden “to work and keep” it. Before the fall, work is a gift; after the fall, it's harder; through Christ, it's redeemed. That shift reframes how we see our careers, chores, parenting, and church service. We talk about telling a truer story over our work so our attitude, effort, and integrity reflect God's character rather than our fluctuating feelings.Cody Hall joins us to trace a path away from two traps: work-as-identity and work-avoidance. If your worth rides the waves of promotion and performance, time and fear will betray the idol beneath the surface. If apathy has you doing the bare minimum, love for neighbor calls you higher. We dive into practical diagnostics—follow your hours, inventory your anxieties—and a gospel remedy: rest your identity in Christ so you can labor with freedom. That means you can be promoted without pride, laid off without despair, and steady in the ordinary tasks that keep your world running.We also get honest about the home as our first field of labor. Paychecks don't replace presence. We share simple practices for starting the “second shift” at the front door—prayer for strength, undistracted attention, small acts of service that say “I see you.” From pushing carts to leading teams, from engineering safer streets to sweeping hallways, every task can love your neighbor and honor God when done with excellence and joy. And beyond personal vocation, we aim our energy at the body of Christ, building up the church by the Spirit as we wait with hope. Listen in, reimagine your daily work, and take one step toward worship-filled labor today.

In difficult times and through the trials of life, it can be hard to recognize God's providence at work in and around us. In his sermon “Holy Interference,” drawn from Acts 23:12–35, Alex reminds us that God was sovereignly working through ordinary people to bring about an extraordinary turn of events in Paul's life, even amid persecution and imprisonment. In the same way, God continues to work through the everyday moments and people in our lives to accomplish His purposes and fulfill His sovereign plan throughout the earth. How might God be moving “behind the scenes” in your life today?

It was an historic day in Israel, a day of euphoria and celebration, that these Christian friends got to experience in person. All the living hostages were released by Hamas and returned to Israel from which they were kidnapped two years ago. The bodies of 28 remaining hostages, most of whom were killed in captivity, are starting to be released. But Hamas is still standing, threatening Israelis and Gazans. 2000 terrorists are being released, 250 of whom are serving one to as many as dozens of life sentences. The victims and family members of these terrorists are scarred. Israelis know that 82% of previous terrorists released have gone back to terror. At the same time, President Trump arrived in Israel and pledged his support and optimism for Israel's future and the region on the whole. Live this experience through their eyes and ears.

Hey Lovelies,Whew… this one's a little personal
In what ways do fear or comfort keep you from boldly defending the gospel? How might your life look different if you truly believed your story was part of God's redemptive mission? Through Paul's defense before a hostile crowd, we see that God's sovereign hand not only redeems broken sinners but also redeploys them for His mission. Just as Christ met Paul on the road to Damascus, He also stands ready to meet each of us in our brokenness, offering forgiveness, purpose, and courage to testify to His saving grace.

What if following Christ led you into suffering instead of comfort — would you still obey? In “Chained in Obedience,” Pastor Josiah unpacks Paul's costly journey to Jerusalem in Acts 21:15–36 — a story that reminds us that following Christ faithfully does not guarantee comfort, favor, or safety. Paul's obedience led him into chains, not away from them. Yet through those chains, God advanced the gospel and displayed His sovereignty. Paul's example calls believers to embrace the truth that faithful obedience often includes suffering, and that despite persecution God's plan still succeeds! The same Lord who ruled over Paul's prison cell reigns over every trial we face today, turning our suffering into a testimony of His grace and power.
"You're pursuing busyness for the sake of busyness, but it's actually high-functioning unbelief." Virgil Walker Join pastors Kyle Swanson, Jason Stinson, Virgil Walker, Todd Burgett, and Darrell Harrison as they dive deep into the tyranny of busyness and its impact on the modern Christian life. Is busyness a badge of honor—or a spiritual distraction? In this episode, the pastors unpack how culture, faith, and rest intersect, drawing rich insights from Scripture. They offer practical wisdom for prioritizing your relationship with God and your family over the frantic pace of life. You'll be encouraged to pursue biblical rest over worldly productivity and discover how true satisfaction is found in Christ, not in a packed calendar.
