Join us as we come together with listeners around the world to encounter God's Word, be reminded of His love, and carry that love into our day. Absolutely! Here are 10 thoughtful discussion questions based on this episode of the Daily Radio Bible: The episode opens by saying that the Scriptures bear witness to Jesus rather than being life in themselves. What does this perspective mean to you, and how might it change the way you read the Bible? Nahum's prophecy against Nineveh comes 100 to 150 years after Jonah's. How does the contrasting message between these two prophets reflect God's justice and mercy? In what ways did Nahum emphasize both God's power and his goodness? How do you see these two aspects of God in your own life? The description of Nineveh's fall is vivid and devastating. Why do you think the Bible includes such detailed imagery when depicting the consequences of turning away from God? Jesus' statement in John 5:39, "You study the Scriptures diligently... yet the Scriptures point to me," is highlighted in the episode. What are the risks of focusing on religious rules without embracing the person of Jesus? The host mentions that some people missed God's love because they were consumed with control, rules, and judgment. What are some modern-day examples of missing God's love in similar ways? How does Jesus' healing at the pool of Bethesda challenge the religious leaders' views on the Sabbath? What message do you think Jesus was trying to convey through this act? The prayers at the end of the episode emphasize being instruments of peace, forgiveness, and love. How can these prayers inspire the way you interact with others today? The episode encourages listeners to recognize God's love already present in their hearts. What practices or habits can help you become more aware of God's love in your everyday life? Reflecting on today's readings and the discussion, how can you move from simply knowing about God to truly experiencing and living in God's love? Feel free to use these for group discussion or personal reflection! Absolutely! Here's a comprehensive sequence of topics covered in this episode of the Daily Radio Bible podcast, with sub-topics nested under each main heading for clarity: 1.

Daily Dose of Hope July 21, 2025 Scripture – Matthew 27:1-31 Prayer: Almighty God, We come before you this morning, rejoicing in your powerful and holy name. You are everything, Lord – Creator, Sustainer, Provider, the one who sees, the one who is most high, Mighty, Everlasting. There are times that we are overwhelmed by your love and care. How could the one who created all, also care about me? God, we give you glory. We are so grateful for how you involve yourself in our lives. Most of all, we thank you for Jesus. Oh, Lord Jesus, we give you glory, honor, and praise. In Your Name, Amen. Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, a deep dive into the Gospels and Acts. Happy Monday. Today, we are starting Matthew 27. This is another long chapter that is filled with a lot of substance so we will once again take three days to walk through it. Today's narrative about Judas' suicide is found only in Matthew. Judas betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. I'm not sure what Judas thought would happen when he accepted the bribe. Maybe Jewish independence? Maybe some extra favors? Maybe some sense of satisfaction? But when Judas actually sees that Jesus is arrested and condemned, a man he knew was totally innocent, Judas is filled with remorse. He sees the consequences of his decision. In his anguish, Judas brings the silver back to the religious leaders. Maybe he was looking for some kind of reassurance or guidance but they gave him none. They were, after all, simply using him to get what they wanted. When Judas realizes this, he appears to be consumed by both remorse and anger and hurls the silver into the temple. It's then that he kills himself. It seems that Judas was overcome with remorse. If you think about it, remorse produces extreme sorrow and grief. The goal is that remorse will lead to repentance and life change. This happened for Peter. He denied Jesus three times, a very significant betrayal. He must have felt incredible sorrow after what he did but he didn't stay there. He allowed God to move him to repentance. But Judas, for whatever reason, could not get past the grief. Maybe he was overcome with fear about what his life would be like when people discovered it was him. Maybe he didn't think he would be forgiven or he thought he would lose social position. Whatever it was, he couldn't get past it. Friends, I don't know what you are dealing with right now, but there is ALWAYS hope. Things can be really, really bad. Life can feel totally dark. But God is light. With God, there is always hope for a better day. For some reason, Judas didn't think so but he was wrong. Jesus would have forgiven him and loved him, just as he did Peter. Jesus loves you. Jesus will always forgive you. Your life is valuable. If you ever get to the point where the darkness feels all-consuming, reach out immediately. Reach out to me or to a friend. And don't forget that God is always there, just waiting, ready to listen and comfort. You are never alone. In the next portion of today's chapter, we have Jesus going before Pilate. Pilate was a Roman, the governor of Judea who was serving under Emperor Tiberias. While Pilate has been mentioned outside of the Gospels by several secular writings of the time, he is certainly best known for his role in Jesus' crucifixion. Let's dive into that. In Matthew's Gospel, we get the impression that Pilate is reluctantly asking Jesus questions. He doesn't feel that Jesus is guilty of anything and this is weighing on Pilate. Then, his wife sends him an urgent message, begging Pilate to ensure that nothing is done “to this innocent man” for she had suffered a great deal in a dream because of Jesus. Pilate ends up seeking a compromise. Knowing Jesus had been handed over by the religious leaders out of envy and spite, Pilate appealed to the crowds at the Passover, asking which “criminal” should be set free, Jesus or Barabbas? Seeing Jesus as innocent, it appears that Pilate believes that surely the people will choose Jesus over the murderous zealot, Barabbas. But they don't. The Jewish leaders convinced the crowd to ask for Barabbas to be released rather than Jesus. Pilate gives in to political pressure. He knows Jesus is innocent. Pilate, exasperated, declares that he is “innocent” of Jesus' blood but then he hands Jesus over to be flogged and crucified. He did what was easy, not what was right. And Pilate will be forever remembered as a leader who chose the expedient route, rather than the one with integrity. He is immortalized in the Apostles' Creed and remembered by Christians around the globe when we say that Jesus “suffered under Pontius Pilate.” The final portion of today's Scripture has the Roman soldiers mocking Jesus. This was one more form of punishment and humiliation before the ultimate torture instrument of the cross. More tomorrow. Blessings, Pastor Vicki
For 8 chapters, Jesus has been doing and saying things that leave people asking the question of who he is. A unique encounter with a blind man helps set the stage for a major turning point in the life and ministry of Jesus and forces the crowds and his disciples to answer this question: Are we seeing Jesus clearly?

Sunday, we come to a definitive turning point in Mark's gospel. Mark's focus for the first eight chapters has been revealing Jesus' identity in the miracles He did and the parables He taught. But the people in Mark could not seem to understand. Even the disciples asked, "Who is this?" when Jesus stilled the storm in Mark 4. Jesus has repeatedly rebuked the disciples for their dullness, lack of understanding, and hard-heartedness. (Mark 8:14-21). In Mark 8:22-33, the disciples will finally understand that Jesus is the Christ, but they do not yet see clearly that the Christ has come to suffer and die. Nor do they know what it means to follow Jesus in his mission. Peter, representing the disciples, confesses that Jesus is the Christ, but in the very next breath, he rebukes Jesus for saying He must suffer, die, and rise from the grave. He sees the Christ, but not clearly yet. The rest of Mark will focus on the disciples coming to understand the way of the cross. This spiritual restoration of sight is pictured in Jesus' healing of a blind man in Bethsaida. Jesus touches the man and he can see, but not clearly. Jesus touches him a second time to restore his sight fully. This miracle happened just as it is written, and it is an illustration of Jesus restoring the disciple's sight and an introduction to what the following several chapters will teach. The Christ brings the kingdom by way of the cross, and therefore, those who follow Him must travel the same road, denying themselves and taking up the cross (8:34). I. Do You See Anything? (v. 22-26) II. Who Do You Say I Am? (v. 27-30) III. What Kind Of Christ Is He? (v. 31-33)
Do you long to go deeper in your faith and help your children fall in love with Scripture — not just the stories, but the whole story? Today Zach Windahl shares what led him to dedicate years to studying scripture. He emphasizes the importance of simplifying the Bible for others, particularly for those who feel overwhelmed or confused. After moving to Australia and enrolling in a transformative Bible study program, everything changed. He discovered how the entire Bible connects — from Genesis to Revelation — and how understanding Scripture through a Hebrew lens opens up a whole new depth of meaning. The Bible isn't random. Every story, every verse, every command points to Jesus. Here is some of what we cover: Why modeling your faith matters more than preaching to your kids The difference between a Greek vs. Hebrew mindset when reading Scripture What to do when Christian culture and actual Jesus living don't align Connect with Zach Windahl: Website: Zach Windahl Facebook: Zach Windahl | Facebook Instagram: Zach Windahl (@zachwindahl) Links Mentioned: The Bible, Simplified: By Zach Windahl The Bible Study: By Zach Windahl See the Good: By Zach Windahl Practicing the Way: By John Mark Comer Revolutionary Parenting: By George Barna Zach Windahl – The Brand Sunday Related Episodes: Consistency in Bible Study :: Katie Orr [Ep 352] Every Mom a Theologian :: Phylicia Masonheimer [Ep 389] Why Read the Entire Bible :: Tara Leigh Cobble [Ep 312] Featured Sponsors: Thrive Causemetics: Try your new trusty favorites with an exclusive set for our listeners.

Sunday evening message from the pulpit of Shawano Baptist Church
From Bread to Belief: Seeing Jesus as the Giver Behind the Gift This Homily on John Chapter 6 explores the deeper spiritual meaning behind Jesus' miracles, . . . . . . particularly the multiplication of loaves and fishes and his walking on water. The commentary contrasts the emptiness of worldly provisions, symbolized by the Roman emperor Tiberius, with the true sustenance that comes from Christ. It emphasizes that the miracles are not ends in themselves but signs pointing to Jesus' divine identity. The people, however, focus on the physical benefits and miss the deeper spiritual reality. The Lord challenges them . . . and us . . . not to seek God merely for material blessings, but to move from appreciating the gifts to knowing and loving the Giver. The ultimate “work of God” is not action, sacrifice, or ritual, but faith in Jesus Christ . . . the one sent by God. This belief is the cornerstone of spiritual life and the foundation upon which everything else is built. Hear more within the Homily. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Image The Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes: Italian painter: Giovanni Lanfranco: 1620 The painting was commissioned for and may be found in the Blessed Sacrament chapel in the Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls in Rome.
