    Daily Devotions from Lutheran Hour Ministries

    Luke 24:44-53 - Then He [Jesus] said to them, "These are My words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled." Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, and said to them, "Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance for the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in His Name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. And behold, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you. But stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high." And He led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up His hands He blessed them. While He blessed them, He parted from them and was carried up into heaven. And they worshiped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, and were continually in the temple blessing God.

    Growing In God Podcast   Web Description: As Christians, are we conformed to this age? Do people look at us and see no difference between us and the world? The Lord does not want us to be conformed to this world but transformed by the renewing of our minds. By the authority of Christ through the Holy Spirit, we destroy the speculations that are conforming us to this world. And we take every thought captive in obedience to Christ.   Show Notes: As Paul explained in 2 Corinthians, spiritual warfare involves destroying speculations and bringing every thought captive in obedience to Christ. Much of what is taking place in the world today is driven by speculation. So many things that we are seeing and hearing are speculations made up by people attempting to control our thinking. These things are coming directly against the truth and the knowledge of God. But we as Christians need to know the truth and have the knowledge of God. So we must take our thoughts captive to the obedience of Christ. We cannot allow our thoughts to be controlled.   We are constantly bombarded with the thoughts, the ways, the lusts, and the concerns of this world. All of it is trying to take our thoughts and make us conform to the world. But the Scriptures tell us that we have the ability in God to be conformed to His image by the Holy Spirit. We have the promise that if we refuse to be conformed to this world, we will be transformed by the renewing of our minds. According to the Word of God, if we take these thoughts captive under the authority of Christ, we will be transformed.   Let us stop the world from controlling our thoughts. This may seem difficult because the world is screaming so loudly, and all our senses are attuned to this age. However, the Holy Spirit was given to teach us and to guide us. And we need to spend time with Him, learn how to communicate with Him, turn off all the input from the world that is conforming us to this age, and by the Holy Spirit find the way to be conformed to the Word of God.   Key Verses:   •       2 Corinthians 10:3–5. “We are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.” •       John 14:6. “I am … the truth.” •       1 Corinthians 2:16. “We have the mind of Christ.” •       Isaiah 55:8. “My thoughts are not your thoughts.” •       Romans 12:1–2. “Prove what the will of God is.” •       Ephesians 4:22–24. “Be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new self.”   Quotes:   •       “We may be facing the flesh in this age that surrounds us, but we can't fight back in the flesh. We have to have the spiritual ability.” •       “We must come to a recognition that we are growing up into Christ, growing up into the mind of Christ, until our thoughts are His thoughts.” •       “The greatest tribulation that we will face is the war within us to take every thought captive and to be transformed by the renewing of our mind and come into the image of the Lord.”   Takeaways:   1.    Satan is always moving to remove or cover over the truth. Much of what we absorb in this age through all forms of media is not the truth, but speculation designed to conform our thoughts to the world. By the Spirit we must destroy speculations and take every thought captive in obedience to Christ. 2.    We are to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. We do not want to be Christians who look, act, and think like the world. We want to be transformed into the mind of Christ, into the thoughts of God, where God no longer has to say, “Your thoughts are not My thoughts.” 3.    According to the Word, you have the ability in Christ to be renewed in the spirit of your mind and to “put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth."

    Welcome to episode 202 of Grasp the Bible.  In this episode, we walk through Psalm 5.  Today, we will explore how King David sought God's face in a two-faced world, focusing on: Prayer for God's Justice (vv. 1–3) Affirmation of God's Hatred of Evil (vv. 4–6) Hope in Fellowship With God (v. 7) Prayer for God's Righteousness (v. 8) Affirmation of Evil (v. 9) Hope in God's Righteousness (vv. 10–12)  Key takeaways: David shows us how to navigate this two-faced world with integrity and hope. What better way to start the day than to direct one's thoughts, one's praise, one's prayers to God, and look up? Is it not better to face every day, whatever the circumstances, with God than without Him? David's hope is grounded in the character of God. He is confident because he knows who God is. Wickedness always alienates us from God, creating a chasm of separation that can only be bridged by repentance on our part and by God's merciful forgiveness. We approach the infinitely holy God—not because of our own worthiness, but through the "credentials" of Christ's righteousness and God's abundant, unfailing love. The Scriptures indicate that God has provided a standard for life, or a norm, to guide humankind. To direct one's life in accord with this standard is to walk in righteousness; that is, in the way that is right.  Quotable: Discernment requires looking beyond appealing words to examine both the heart behind them and the ultimate impact they will have.  Application: When facing situations that seem unjust or unchanged despite prayer, remember David's example of bringing the same concerns to God each morning. Before addressing challenges or injustices, follow David's pattern of first bringing the matter to God. This ensures our responses are guided by divine wisdom rather than merely human reaction.  Connect with us: Web site:  https://springbaptist.org Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/SBCKleinCampus (Klein Campus) https://www.facebook.com/SpringBaptist (Spring Campus) Need us to pray for you?  Submit your prayer request to https://springbaptist.org/prayer/  If you haven't already done so, please leave us a rating and review in your podcast provider. 

    Hope for Right Now: A Walking with Purpose Podcast

    Join Lisa and Laura for our series Names of God. In biblical times, names were of great importance—they conveyed a person's essence, history, nature, or character. As we explore the various names of God in the Old Testament, we gain insight into His character. With each name, we will learn a new attribute, deepening our understanding of and growing closer to God. In today's episode, we explore our third name, Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals. The word “rapha” often refers to physical healing in Scripture, but it has a more expansive meaning, too, involving the entire person. Jehovah Rapha doesn't just heal the body. He heals the mind and soul. In a world desperate for healing, this is an episode you do not want to miss. Grab your Bible and invite a friend to listen. We all need Jehovah Rapha! Open your Heart to our key Scripture. Exodus 15:26: If you will listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in his sight, obeying his commands and keeping all his decrees, then I will not make you suffer any of the diseases I sent on the Egyptians; for I am the LORD who heals you. Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode. Exodus 3:13–14: Then Moses said to God, “If I come to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, ‘What is his name?' what shall I say to them?” God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” Psalm 22:14–15: I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; my heart is like wax; it is melted within my breast; my strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaves to my jaws; you lay me in the dust of death. Exodus 15:22–27 Romans 8:22: We know that all creation has been groaning with labor pains together until now; and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait for the adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. Romans 5:5: Hope does not disappoint us. Invite Him in with this episode's questions for reflection. Are you in the place between devastated hope and deliverance? Bring your heart to Jehovah Rapha and ask, what does He want to reveal and what He is longing to heal? Is it a physical illness? Sin? Trauma? Childhood wound? Unforgiveness?  Show mentions.

    In this episode of More Than Commas, we dive deep into the Scriptures to explore what the Bible actually teaches about debt. From Proverbs to Paul, we examine the verses often quoted by Christian financial voices like Dave Ramsey—and contrast them with a broader biblical framework of stewardship, responsibility, and generosity. Is borrowing a sin? Or is the real issue the intent and ability to repay? Tune in as we challenge popular zero-debt theology, uncover surprising insights from the Parable of the Talents and the Widow's Oil, and offer a more faithful, nuanced view of Christian finance.

    The Word for Everyday Disciples with Dave DeSelm

    We have been given the incredible offer by God to not only find forgiveness, but to experience transformation. We have been made different to make a difference.How is this transformation done? Romans 12:2 gives us a hint. “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but rather be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Transformation starts in the mind. Paul teaches the same thing in Philippians 4:8-9. “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—THINK about such things.Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice (DO). And the God of peace will be with you.”THINK—DO. According these verses, the transformed life begins on the inside with what you think. Your outward action – that which you do – is an overflow of that. THINK—DO.Cognitive psychology has confirmed what the Scriptures have taught and from that study, have identified two “laws.” 1.     The Law of Cognition: You are what you think. Another way to say it is: the way you think creates your attitudes, shapes your emotions, and governs your behavior.Using trees as an illustration, Jesus taught that if the inner life (what you can't see) is healthy, the outer display (the fruit—that which you can see) will be healthy also. If the stream of your thoughts is “true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, and of good repute” then you will be able to “do” or “put into practice” that which is delightfully different.By the same token, if the inner life, the unseen life of a person is unhealthy—if the stream of thoughts is misguided, false, impure or ugly—then that will become evident as well. The state of your inner life will inevitably leak out.2.     The Law of Exposure:  Your mind will think most about what it is exposed to.What repeatedly enters your mind eventually shapes your thinking and ultimately expresses itself in your behavior. It's like creating mental ruts in our brains—pathways worn deep by repeated patterns of thought. These ruts can be destructive, like resentment, complaint, negativity, worry, or lust. Or they can be life-giving, “whatever is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely,” etc.How can you change the ruts you're in? Catch the negative or untrue thought. Replace it with that which is true and contstructive.Guard your mind by being careful about what you expose yourself to.Build structures that can help you create new ruts, such as worship, Scripture reading, and community.   Text: Philippians 4:8-9; Romans 12:2 Originally recorded on January 25, 2009, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN

    On this memorial day weekend we have coincidentally come to Israel's military conquest of the Ancient Promised Land in Joshua (we didn't plan this overlap, it just happened!). We've mentioned time and time again how the conquest present in Joshua presents the crux of many peoples' objection to Christianity and we've finally made it there: why does the God of the Old Testament Scriptures seem so different from the Jesus Christ of the gospels? It's a big question and for those of you who may not wrestle with the concept of the Sun & Moon standing still, the account of the conquest of the land in these 2 chapters are perhaps more difficult to stomach. What are we to make of this manner of taking the Promised Land? Must it erode our trust in the God of these Scriptures who is Christ? How are we to wrap our minds around these accounts? Should we even bother? Is there anything helpful in these passages anyhow? We hope to consider all these questions and more with you on Sunday and I hope you find Joshua's insight especially encouraging even if you leave with these tensions unsolved.

    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: http://family-bible-church.org/2025Messages/25May25.pdf * Jesus has entered into Jerusalem and has been teaching the people in the Temple. We are in the midst of a four day period when the Passover Lamb would be finely examined to make sure that it was a worthy Sacrifice. The religious unknowingly are fulfilling this prophetic requirement of YHWH (cf. Exodus 12:2-7). * Two weeks ago, we considered the Chief Priests' and Scribes' attempted to find a blemish in Jesus by asking whether it was lawful for Jews to pay taxes to Caesar. * Last week, we saw the Sadducees seek to trap Him by asking him who wife would a woman be (in the resurrection) who had been married consecutively to seven brothers. Jesus responded to them by drawing attention to the fact that they truly did not believe the Scriptures that they supposedly held in high regard. * Jesus took the moment as an opportunity to teach - both the Scribes and His Disciples - with authority. The first being a call to expositing the Word of God faithfully and the second a call to beware of pretentiousness. * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on May 25, 2025 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

    Sixth Sunday of Easter (Year C) - Loving the Trinity

    Read OnlineJesus said to his disciples: “Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him. Whoever does not love me does not keep my words; yet the word you hear is not mine but that of the Father who sent me.” John 14:23–24The Father and the Son are One. Their unity is perfect in every way. They share one divine nature. Yet they are distinct Persons. They are not only perfectly united as One God, they are also able to be in a loving communion of unity with each other. The mystery of the Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, is a mystery so deep that we will never fully comprehend Them. They are the “unknowable God” Whom we seek to know. Thus, our relationship with God is an ongoing journey by which we plunge ourselves into this mystery more deeply every day and through eternity.Today's Gospel gives us a glimpse into the glorious unity of God, but it goes further. It also reveals the desire in the Heart of God to come and dwell within us. If we love God and keep His Word, the Trinity will come to us and dwell within us. “Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him.” This invitation given to us to share in the unity of God is also a mystery too deep for words.As a child, perhaps you were taught about the mystery of the Trinity by being shown a three-leaf clover. Each petal represents one of the divine Persons, but the whole leaf represents Their unity. We benefit from this simplistic imagery to help us begin to understand Who God is. But in reality, there is only one thing that will help to fully reveal God's very Self to us. What is that one thing? It is exactly what Jesus spoke about: Loving obedience to the Word of God. Obedience to the Word of God is the best expression of love we can offer to God. This is because God's Word is Truth in its fullness. When we understand this Truth and live by it, then this is love. Furthermore, this form of loving obedience will result in something that is unimaginable. It will result in the indwelling of the Most Holy Trinity in our souls: “...and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him.”Though this language is clouded and mysterious, when the Most Holy Trinity comes to dwell within a person, the cloud begins to be lifted and the mystery begins to become known. Therefore, the only way to begin to discover this incomprehensible mystery of the life of the Most Holy Trinity is to allow the Trinity to dwell within you. And the only way to invite God to do so is through love of Him. And the only way to love Him is through obedience to the Word of God. Jesus is the Word of God. We especially come to know Him as the Word of God through our reading of the Scriptures and by living the message it proclaims. Reflect, today, upon the most central calling you have been given. That mission is to become a dwelling place for God. And that is only accomplished by your love of God which is expressed through obedience to His Word. Ponder obedience. Tell God you will obey His every command of love. Look at your actions and consider any ways that you fail in obedience to all that our Lord has commanded. Where you see any deviation, know that correcting that deviation is the pathway not only to a deeper love but also the pathway to a fuller unity with the Triune God Who seeks to unite Himself to you from within. Most Holy Trinity, Unity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, come dwell within me. I pray for the gift of love of You, expressed through my obedience to Your every command that is revealed through Your holy Word. May I become more fully aware of every way I delay in my obedience so that I may change my ways and open myself more fully to You. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image via Adobe StockSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.

    Romans 6:14 — Why is it that some Christians experience spiritual depression? In this sermon on Romans 6:14 titled “Spiritual Depression,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones maintains that spiritual depression occurs wherever there is an ignorance of the Scriptures. He preaches this sermon, rooted in the apostle Paul's text, to sum up a couple of his former sermons covering the Christian's death to sin in Christ, as well as the Christian's new life in Christ. Dr. Lloyd-Jones then expounds upon Paul's application. If the Christian wants to live and enjoy the Christian life in victory, they have to realize the truths of their union with Christ. They are not commanded to act like it is true. They are told to realize, reckon, and regard that it is true. They are to be certain of victory over sin. The greatest comfort Christians can have in their spiritual depression is to know that because of the victory they have in Christ, sin no longer has dominion. Dr. Lloyd-Jones emphasizes that this can only be because of God's grace. The law condemns, but God's grace delivers. Under grace, Christians are brought more and more into God's glory, so that they yield to sin less and less until they are completely delivered.

    Unfortunately, one of the characteristics of humanity, even followers of Christ, is that our strength is exhaustible.  We are not superhuman creatures.  Our strength runs out and we face the common problem of weariness.Main Points:1. We've sometimes bought into a misunderstanding that in order for you and I to be strong we must have good conditions. However, it seems that most of our spiritual growth occurs when times are difficult. It's in these hard times we learn God is faithful and dependable. It's in these times we gain much-needed strength from the Lord.2. What we decide to do in our times of weariness is critical.  I've seen people who were tired, become discouraged, they failed to reach out for God's strength, and eventually, they gave up on their faith – they quit.  This is what the devil would like to have to happen to each of us.3. While we must face the reality that all of us must deal with weariness, there is hope from the Scriptures of a deeper reality in which we can tap into the inexhaustible strength of God. It's here that we discover a source of strength for those who trust in and wait upon the Lord.Today's Scripture Verses:Isaiah 40:31 - “…those who wait on the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”Psalm 27:14 - “Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

    Colossians 2:8 — What robs a Christian of joy? In this sermon on Colossians 2:8 titled “The Danger of Error,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones highlights error and heresy as contributors to a joyless life. These thieves demand knowledge beyond what God has revealed, and leave the Christian feeling empty and hollow. Listen as Dr. Lloyd-Jones explores the ancient heresy known as Gnosticism, relating it and applying it today. This counterfeit religion must be fought against, and error must be avoided. Dr. Lloyd-Jones provides practical advice on how to avoid such heresy and, in doing so, highlights heresies of his own day. Certain characteristics are woven throughout religious falsehoods which, when understood, alert Christians of their error. Countering these hollow philosophies, the believer must beware of the lust of the mind and be content with what God has revealed in His word. Anything that goes beyond the Scriptures simply puffs up one's mind instead of exalting Christ. While there is certainly an initial thrill, heresy and error leave the person joyless and empty. Joy comes not from philosophy, but from Christ. The fight for joy is therefore a fight to exalt Christ. Christ is supreme and true.
