Read OnlineJesus entered the house of Peter, and saw his mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever. He touched her hand, the fever left her, and she rose and waited on him. Matthew 8:14–15How do we properly respond to the action of God in our lives? In the passage above, we are given the witness of Peter's mother-in-law to answer that question. It should be noted that Jesus was on a continual mission of healing. In fact, before arriving at the house of Peter, Jesus had just healed a centurion's servant. When the centurion came to Jesus stating that he was not even worthy to have Him enter his house, Jesus saw the centurion's faith and healed his servant from a distance. After arriving at the house of Peter, we are told that many people brought to Jesus those who were possessed by demons, and Jesus healed them all. But between the healing of the servant and the healings of the many, another healing occurred. The response to this healing sets for us a wonderful example.Peter's mother-in-law was ill and in bed with a fever. It's unclear just how ill she was, but the fact remains that she was ill to the point of being in bed. Notice, first, that Jesus was not even asked to heal her. Rather, He “saw” her ill and in bed, approached her of His own choosing, “touched her hand,” and she was healed.Within the same sentence describing Jesus' healing, we are told that “she rose and waited on him.” First of all, “she rose.” This should be seen as a symbolic depiction of what we must do when we are touched by grace. The grace of God, when it is given to us, must have the effect of causing us to rise. We rise from sin when we confess that sin and receive forgiveness, especially in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. We rise up every time God enters our lives to give us direction, clarity and hope. To rise is to be strengthened to dispel the burden that sin and confusion causes. We rise in strength, renewed and determined to go about the will of God.After this woman rose, she “waited” on Jesus. This is the reason we rise up when touched by grace. We are not given God's grace so that we can go back to our sin, or pursue our own ventures, or do our own will. We rise so that we can serve our Lord and His holy will. In a sense, Jesus' actions in our lives impose upon us a holy burden. But it is a burden that is light. It's an obligation to serve and give ourselves to our Lord to attend to Him, His holy will, and to all that He calls us to do.Reflect, today, upon this threefold action of the Gospel. See Jesus approaching you and touching you in your prayer. Know that He comes to you not only because you pray to Him but out of His own initiative when He sees you will respond. Then consider your response. Rise from that which keeps you down. Let God's grace free you from the burdens you carry. And as He grants you this grace, determine to wait on Him and to serve His will alone. The service of our Lord is what we are made for, and doing so will enable us to continually receive His grace through His touch of love.My merciful Jesus, You continually come to me, approaching me to reach out and touch me with Your grace. You desire my healing and strengthening every day. Help me to be open to all that You wish to bestow and please free me from all that keeps me down. May I rise up in service of You and Your holy will so that Your Kingdom may be built up more fully through me. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.

Pastor Alan R. Knapp discusses the topic of "A Sermon on the Edge of the Eschaton: One Choice" in his series entitled "Hebrews 2020: We See Jesus" This is Increment 388 and it focuses on the following verses: Hebrews 10:35-36

Send us a text"The Storm-Calmer: Faith in the Midst of Fear"Have you ever felt like you were drowning while God stayed silent? In this deeply relatable and spiritually rich episode, we dive into Mark 4:35–41, a passage that powerfully showcases Jesus' unmatched authority as He calms the storm with a single command.It all begins with a simple invitation: “Let us go over to the other side.” On the surface, it sounds like just a change in location, but this invitation carries profound significance. To follow Jesus to “the other side” means to leave behind the crowd—those people, systems, and voices that keep us spiritually stagnant. That crowd may be your workplace expectations, societal pressure, social media noise, or toxic relationships that drown out the voice of God.As Jesus and His disciples sail away, an intense squall threatens to sink the boat. The disciples, seasoned fishermen and Jesus' closest followers, are overwhelmed with fear. Their cry — “Teacher, don't you care if we drown?” — reveals the tension between our belief and our panic, our theology and our reality.This is the heart of the message: Jesus wasn't panicked; He was asleep — not because He didn't care, but because He is sovereign. He stands up, rebukes the wind and the waves, and everything becomes calm. Three words changed the storm: “Peace! Be still.”Jesus' question pierces through time: “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?” This wasn't just about surviving a physical storm—it was about learning to trust the One who commands nature itself. Even the disciples were stunned: “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!” This was the moment they began to shift from knowing Jesus as Teacher to recognizing Him as Lord of all creation.This episode will challenge and encourage you to:Evaluate what “crowds” you need to leave behind.Recognize how fear clouds faith during life's tempests.See Jesus not as absent in your crisis, but fully in control.Embrace peace not because the storm is gone, but because He is in your boat.Whether you're going through financial hardship, family conflict, spiritual dryness, or emotional overwhelm, this message will speak directly to your storm. The same Christ who calmed the sea still speaks peace over your life today.Listen now and discover why the greatest transformation sometimes begins in the middle of your fiercest storm.Mark 4:35–41, Jesus calms the storm, storm in the Bible, faith during trials, overcoming fear, Christian podcast, squall meaning, leave the crowd, disciples fear, Jesus authority, peace be still, storms of life, Bible teaching, trusting God, sovereignty of Christ, how to have faith, spiritual growth podcast, calming the sea, biblical encouragement, crisis of faithSupport the showhttps://www.pastorbencooper.co.uk/https://www.rbchristianradio.net/ buymeacoffee.com/reverendbencooper

Pastor Alan R. Knapp discusses the topic of "A Sermon on the Edge of the Eschaton: What Is Our Task?" in his series entitled "Hebrews 2020: We See Jesus" This is Increment 387 and it focuses on the following verses: Hebrews 10:35-13:25

John 14:9 ...he who has seen me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘show us the Father'? Men, specifically fathers and the role of fatherhood are under attack today like never before. The devils goal is to seduce men into giving up their ultimate role and purpose on earth to reflect God and pursue their God-given roles as leaders of their families.Jesus said, “if the shepherd is smitten, all the sheep will be scattered” (Matthew 9:36).When the children of Israel were leaving Egypt, Pharaoh said, “I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide… and I will destroy” (Exodus 15:9). In the same way, the devil has you marked and he will pursue you and try to destroy your family. But in Christ Jesus, you're an overcomer!The Good News is that our Heavenly Father has empowered us with His ability to reflect His Glory on earth, walk in His purpose and take our rightful places as Fathers and as overcomers according to His good pleasure and perfect will! Support the showGrowing our inner man as we connect with God's Word

Isaiah 42:8 I am YHVH (Yahweh, Yehovah), that ismy name; my glory (cavod, כָבוֹד) I give to no other,nor my praise to graven images. Deityof Christ theologians claim that since Jesus has (God's) glory, or was given glory by God, he must be God, because God doesn't give His glory to anyone else. That claim is a philosophical, rationalistic kind of claim that no one in the Bible makes. It's kind of an end around claim that runs into dead ends.  For instance, if Jesus is God, why did God have to give him glory? Can God lose his glory and than someone else who is God give it back to him.  This kind of claim really reveals a certain kind of biblical ignorance, or a willing ignorance. It's the kind of claim that reveals a desperate search for some evidence to make Christ into God. It's contrived “evidence”.   To understand what Isaiah 42:8 and 48:11 are really saying, all we have to do is look a bit at the context of the statements. There are two parts to that context that shows that deity of Christ claims about these passages completely miss the point. The statement in Isaiah 42:8 “I give my glory to no other” are in the context of Israel's idolatry.1. God DOES NOT give His glory AS GOD to anyoneelse. Specifically, God does not share His glory with other gods or idols. God will not allow Israel to believe that someone or something else is their god.God warned: “I the LORD your God am a jealous God” (Exo 20:5).2. God DOES give glory to others the nation of Israel, notto show that these others are God, but to show that the God who gives the glory is their God, the only God.   Deity of Christ interpreters totally miss the meaning of these passages in the Book of Isaiah.Note to listeners: After I publishing the podcast, I see that the quote, translation and interpretation of Romans 5:2 is not as clear-cut as the translation I quoted (RSV). The Greek is more ambiguous. The Greek does not have the word "sharing". The Greek is more literally "we boast(glory) in(with) hope of the glory of God". Because of the ambiguity, the RSV supplied "sharing". But it should be italicized that "sharing" is not in the text. I see another translation (CJB) supplies "experiencing the glory of God". Most translations, which is probably better, just render "we rejoice in the glory of God".I feel I over-stated the case after seeing that word "sharing" is not in the Greek. I would edit that section, but YouTube won't allow editing since it apparently has already made the video available in other languages (?). So, I'd just encourage people to think about what Paul meant by writing “we rejoice with hope of the glory of God”.The other famous verse in Romans about us having something to do with God's glory is Rom. 3:23, "we all fall short of the glory of God". This verse suggests some human participation or expectation of believers in/with God's glory. Romans 2:7 says we "seek for glory and honor and immortality". 2 Cor. 4:6 describes the "knowledge of God's glory".Unfortunately, most translations are inconsistent (probably with theological bias) on Psalm 84:11. Instead of translating "the LORD (YHVH) God gives grace and glory", English translations make it "favor and honor". But the second word is the same word cavod כָבוֹד as Isaiah 42:6.Another point I would make about “giving glory”: In the Bible to give glory is often an idiom for giving recognition where recognition is due. This is why God won't give glory to idols in His work of creation or with Israel.

As we continue our journey through the Gospel of Luke, this message from Luke 19 reminds us that while we long to see Jesus, the real transformation begins when we realize He sees us. Through the story of Zacchaeus and the parable that follows, we're challenged to move from behavior-based faith to heart-level belief. Join us as we refocus on Christ and let Him reshape our lives from the inside out.

Paul's prayer for the Colossians is that they would be controlled by things of the Lord—by the beauty of who Jesus is. False teachings had infiltrated the church, but Paul begins with, “See Jesus.” He dwells on Jesus before addressing the false teaching. So, who is Jesus? Jesus is the image of the invisible God. He is the Creator and Sustainer of all. Everything is His. He sees you, He knows you, and He holds it all together. Everything exists for the praise and glory of Christ. There's not even a single molecule outside of His control—and if He cares about a molecule, how much more does He care about you? Jesus is the true and only Redeemer because He is the only perfect sacrifice. It's not your goodness—it's Jesus' sacrifice on your behalf. We were once separated from Him, but Christ reconciled you and justified you before God Almighty. Jesus is supreme. He is preeminent. See Jesus. Be reminded of who He is and what He's done. Do everything you cannot to forget Him as you go throughout your day. See Jesus.

Welcome to Episode #170 of the Way of the Bible podcast. This is the second of eight episodes in our Twenty-Second mini-series entitled The Return of Jesus Christ. On today's episode, we're going to do a high-level overview of the Bible to present the case for why Jesus is coming back. What we'll discover is something that will blow your mind. I'm talking about literally make your head hurt, turn your stomach, and hopefully make you want to run around for winning the Mega Cosmic Lottery.There is a low view today in the Western world of Christianity. It seems to be much like it was in the first Century when Rome considered Christianity a cult and worthy of persecution. Even the mega-churches that were birthed in the 1990s through around 2010, are experiencing the vacuous gale blowing through their emptying arenas where once thousands to ten thousand and more were packed in for each of up to six services each Sunday. Many of these have already joined the ranks of the small neighborhood congregations they emptied with the promise of freedom from sin and condemnation, no matter what the newcomers had done or continue doing.Surprisingly, you may discover for the first time that “everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world.” [1 Jn. 2:16]. This includes the church, which long ago adopted the practices of the world. [See Jesus' seven letters to the seven churches in Revelation 2-3]The glitz, the glamour, the charisma of the pastor or priest, the rock and roll praise and worship music shrouded in darkness, strobe lights, dance, song, with incense laden fog all mean nothing. Icons of religious figures, pictures, images, colors, etc. to produce a dramatic effect or to evoke an emotional response do not come from God. While these, and I could name numerous other things as well, do not come from God, does not mean God did not allow their existence and sustains them for his purposes. This is not meant for church shaming but rather for us all to have a gut check of what we are doing in our worship services.  Now to getting our heads hurting with a little bending of our minds. Let's start with concept of nothing. Are you there? Now, assume out of that nothing comes something. Recall that you intuitively understand that nothing comes from nothing. For there to be something, something beyond the nothing had to create the something. Not only that, but, the materials for creating something in the nothing must also have come from beyond nothing. BUT if there was nothing, how can there be something beyond the nothing? Now your head must bother you enough to hit the 15-second backup to listen again as you got lost at “Let's start with nothing.” You may find yourself still listening but stuck on nothing. And knowing that nothing comes from nothing is the secret to knowing the truth about everything.One more time. Nothing comes from nothing. There is no something beyond nothing. Nothing is nothing. Draw a circle on a whiteboard. Identify what is inside the circle as nothing (that's not it). Now erase the circle (that's still not it). Incinerate the whiteboard to ashes (that's still not it). Incinerate the earth to ashes (that's still not it). Incinerate the entire cosmos to ashes (that's still not it). Nothing is not something inside of anything. Nothing is no thing at all. It is a mental concept and likely unprovable, much like infinity. Yet we believe nothing can exist since our entire modern science foundation postulation is that there was nothing. Then out of nowhere, in the nothing, there was something smaller than a nickel in size. This nickel-sized mass in nothing exploded, creating everything in the entire cosmos.Don't laugh, but that is in most simple form the explanation modern science has for the existence of the cosmos. Even more fictitious than this, and even more
