The sermon explains that the Holy Spirit's restraining influence will cease at the rapture of the Church, allowing the rise of the Antichrist. It argues that the Spirit remains omnipresent to save souls during the Tribulation, citing the conversion of millions after the Church is gone. The speaker identifies the Antichrist as emerging from a revived ten-nation European confederacy, fulfilling prophecies in Daniel and Revelation. Historical attempts to unite Europe are presented as precursors to this final political entity. The message urges listeners to recognize these signs as evidence that Christ's return is imminent.

Welcome back to Faith Friday!! We are almost done with this fruit of the Spirit series!!! hope y'all are loving it! In this episode, we explore the fruit of the Spirit: gentleness from Galatians 5:22–23. We'll talk about what biblical gentleness really means, how Jesus modeled it, and what it looks like in our everyday relationships, conversations, and responses. Gentleness invites us to respond rather than react, to speak truth with love, and to treat others with grace even when emotions run high. It's a quiet strength that reflects the character of Christ. In this episode, we'll explore: What biblical gentleness actually means Why gentleness is a fruit of the Holy Spirit How Jesus demonstrated gentleness without compromising truth The difference between gentleness and weakness Practical ways to cultivate gentleness in our words, reactions, and relationships What it looks like to surrender our responses to the Holy Spirit Scripture: Galatians 5:22–23; Matthew 11:28–30 Reflection: Where might God be inviting you to replace a harsh reaction with a gentle response this week?

It's Friday, August 14th, 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 India's March for Life draws 5,000 India's fifth National March for Life was held on August 8 and 9 in the city of Chennai, drawing a crowd of 5,000 people eager to proclaim the dignity of human life, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Cardinal Anthony Poola, president of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of India, was present at the march and delivered a powerful pro-life address. He said, “Pro-life is the most important mission to be carried out in our dioceses, congregations and institutions. If we do not act now, we may soon be left with institutions – but without people. … Do not be afraid. The Catholic Church in India stands with you to fight for the right to life of every unborn child.” Emma Magdalene of LifeSiteNews.com added, “The number one cause of death today is not COVID, cancer, or even any war. It's abortion. The World Health Organization reports that over 73 million abortions take place globally every year. What a heartbreaking reality.” Proverbs 31:8 says, “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is Democratic presidential frontrunner Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York is now the frontrunner to become the 2028 Democratic presidential nominee, according to Polymarket odds, marking the first time she has led the pack, reports The Independent. As of Wednesday evening, 21 percent of traders backed the New York leftist, who was trailed by Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom at 17 percent. On rival prediction site Kalshi, the results were the same, with Ocasio-Cortez narrowly topping Newsom. Meanwhile, conventional political polls still put former Vice President Kamala Harris at the top spot, with Newsom in second, and Cortez in a distant fourth. Luigi Mangione expected to plead guilty to assassinating UnitedHealthcare CEO Luigi Mangione is expected to plead guilty today, August 14th, in his federal case tied to his alleged execution of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson — in an apparent bid to dodge a life sentence, reports the New York Post. The 28-year-old accused killer — who is set to appear at a morning hearing in Manhattan federal court — is charged in the federal case with two counts of stalking resulting in death stemming from his alleged December 2024 cold-blooded murder of the powerful executive on a Manhattan sidewalk. Mangione would still likely face a potential life sentence if he were to plead guilty in federal court, but would hope that U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett doles out a lesser sentence. The heir of a wealthy Maryland family led authorities on a dramatic five-day manhunt before local cops in Altoona, Pennsylvania finally nabbed him while he munched on breakfast at a local McDonald's. (Look at raw bodycam footage: Scroll to the :52 mark) Prosecutors say he plotted the shocking killing to make a violent political statement, leaving behind bullet casings at the crime scene with the words “delay” and “deny” etched into them — echoing a phrase insurers allegedly use to describe dodging paying out claims. Christian weatherman's prayers on-air for safety in San Antonio And finally, San Antonio, Texas-based meteorologist Bill Taylor on KENS-5 TV, a media colleague of mine, went viral for praying live on air on July 15th for the people of the Texas Hill Country who were facing an imminent tornado on the ground. During continuous, commercial-free coverage, he said this. TAYLOR: “You look at the time of day and there are just a lot of people that would be traveling in this area, traveling to work — Saint Hedwig, China Grove, right over Highway 87, right at [Loop] 1604. A number of motorists here. “So, Lord, I pray for protection. God, your sovereignty is what we lean into in moments like this, that drivers stay aware, stay alert. That you give them wisdom. Bless these drivers with wisdom. Keep them safe. Put angels around them of protection as they travel. Thank you, Lord. We're just going to get you home safely.” Later, Taylor offered this prayer. TAYLOR: “Praying for these people in the path of this storm that Lord God, your sovereignty would be here. That You, Lord, would protect everyone in the path of this storm. That You would give wisdom and clarity for families to seek shelter. That these plans would enact now. That people would reach out to those people in this affected area to give them the warning they need. In Your holy name, protect us, Lord.” In a follow-up interview on the Christian Broadcasting Network, Bill Taylor explained what was going through his mind at the time. TAYLOR: “This could be a tornado on the ground at any second, and it was impacting a densely populated area. And knowing the sensitivity of the Hill Country flooding that took more than 100 lives a year ago, knowing how destructive a tornado can be, it just truly came out of the Holy Spirit within me to start praying in that moment for protection, for His sovereignty, for people to be clear and wise enough to seek shelter. “When we're in continuous coverage, there's no producer prompting me. There's no script in weather ever, even on a routine day. We're on our own. We're doing a PowerPoint presentation based on our slides that we put together. We're our own producers. The only time that somebody's in my ear is to tell me how much time I have left. “Well, when we have life-threatening weather, we're on till it's over. We stay on — commercial-free — until it's over. And it's on all platforms between broadcast, then our stream channel, Facebook, YouTube. “And when it happened, the Spirit of God came over me and said, ‘Pray!' Praise God that He delivered, as He always does. He's faithful, and we were protected from what could have been a lot worse.” CBN's Tré Phillips asked about what lesson Christian viewers could glean. PHILLIPS: “So, what would you say to those of us who want to be, like you were, more attuned to that still, small prompting of the Holy Spirit?” TAYLOR: “To do it. Take that step and be obedient to it, because it truly is the hands and feet, the body of Christ. You get that prompting, and when that obedience flows, this is God in action. “'Wherever two or more gather in My name, I shall be there.' (Matthew 18:20) That's why He uses us in this body of Christ, and that the Holy Spirit dwells within us to prompt us in those moments.” 2 Timothy 1:7 says, “God gave us a spirit, not of fear, but of power and love and self-control.” Send Bill Taylor a 3-sentence email to btaylor@kens5.com, thanking him for boldly praying live on the air for the safety of people in the Texas Hill Country. Or send him a physical letter. This would be a great project for your kids! Bill Taylor, KENS 5 TV, 5400 Fredericksburg Rd, San Antonio, TX 78229.

What if the problems around you aren't actually related to you? Graham opens with David's confession in the face of overwhelming forces — a God so unconcerned by the enemy that He sets a table on the battlefield: "picnic first, great fight second." Discover why the Lord is looking for warriors, champions, and game changers with an identity rooted in majesty — people who take situations by the scruff of the neck, displace the enemy in their own locality, and turn a Tuesday night into a Saturday night. Then Graham lands on a prophetic word: this is your time to arise, because your promises, prophecies, scriptures, visions, and dreams are your currency — "more significant than the circumstances that you're facing."Key Scriptures:- Psalm 23:5-6. "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever."- Acts 10:38. "God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him."- 2 Corinthians 1:20. "For as many as are the promises of God, in Him they are yes; therefore also through Him is our Amen to the glory of God through us."- 2 Corinthians 3:17. "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty."Want to explore more?

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: Jeremiah 10–12; John 14 Click HERE to give! One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible-in-a-year podcast with 20-minute Scripture readings, Christ-centered devotion, and guided prayer. This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this 12th day of August, we journey through Jeremiah 10–12 and John 14 with Hunter, your Bible reading coach. In Jeremiah, we encounter the folly of idols, the faithfulness of the living God, and the prophet's struggle to understand what God is doing in the midst of injustice and suffering. Then, in John 14, Jesus draws his disciples into some of the deepest mysteries of our faith, revealing his union with the Father and promising the coming presence of the Holy Spirit. Yet amid these profound mysteries, Jesus gives his disciples something remarkably simple: follow me. There is so much about God, life, and faith that we may not fully understand, but we are not required to have everything figured out before we walk with Christ. We are invited to trust his presence, receive his peace, and go where he leads. Today's devotion reminds us that faith is not ultimately about mastering every mystery, but about learning to hear the voice of Jesus and respond when he says, "Come, let's be going." TODAY'S DEVOTION: There are some things about God that are simply beyond us. In John 14, Jesus is speaking to his disciples about some of the deepest mysteries imaginable. He tells them that he is in the Father and the Father is in him. He tells them that the Holy Spirit, the Advocate, will come and live within them. He tells them that somehow, through the Spirit, they will participate in this life and love that exists between the Father and the Son. That's a lot to take in. And you can almost feel Thomas and Philip trying to keep up. They want more explanation. They want Jesus to slow things down and make everything clearer. Thomas says, essentially, "We don't even know where you're going." Philip says, "Just show us the Father and we'll be satisfied." I understand that impulse. I think most of us do. There are so many things about faith that we want explained. There are mysteries we want solved and questions we want answered. We want greater clarity about God, about ourselves, about suffering, about the future, about what God is doing in our lives. But Jesus doesn't give his disciples a theological diagram that explains everything. Instead, he gives them himself. He tells them not to let their hearts be troubled. He promises them his peace. He promises the Spirit. He reminds them that they are not being abandoned. And then, at the end of the chapter, he says something remarkably ordinary and practical: "Come, let's be going." Come. Follow me. There is something beautiful about that. The mysteries are still mysteries. The disciples still don't understand everything. But Jesus is with them, and for now that is enough. They can follow him. And maybe that is enough for us today too. You don't have to understand everything before you follow Jesus. You don't have to solve every theological question or make sense of every circumstance in your life. There are things we may understand later that we simply cannot understand now. But we can hear his voice. We can receive his peace. We can trust the Spirit who lives within us. And we can follow. Jesus says that he is the way, the truth, and the life. The way is not simply information about God. The way is a person. And as we follow him, we begin to experience the life he has promised us. We discover his peace, his strength, his joy, and his presence along the way. So maybe today, instead of demanding an answer to every mystery, we can simply listen for the invitation of Jesus: Come, let's be going. Follow me. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.

We explore the beginning of the transition of kingship from Saul to David in ancient Israel. Samuel, initially grieving over Saul's disobedience, is commanded by God to anoint a new king from the family of Jesse in Bethlehem. Despite his initial reluctance, Samuel follows God's command and anoints young David, a shepherd. The Spirit of the Lord rushes upon David, marking him as God's chosen king. Meanwhile, Saul is tormented by a harmful spirit due to his disobedience, and David, known for his musical talent, is brought to soothe Saul's torment with his musical talents on the lyre. Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

Kindness starts with how we see people. This week on Side Notes, Adam and Pastor Tim dive deeper into Sunday's message on the fruit of the Spirit, talking about what it means to be filled with the Spirit, why Paul continued to show kindness even to those who opposed him, and how seeing people as people—not just as obstacles, strangers, or enemies—can change the way we treat others. They also discuss how simple acts of kindness can open the door for the gospel and why we never know what someone else may be carrying.

Redefining Love, Long Distance, and Returning to the Nest (Season 6 | Episode 251) When Amir and I sat down with Jennifer and Chris for this episode, I knew we were in for something special. There is a quiet, profound sweetness in the way these two understand each other—a connection honed not by daily routines in the same living room, but through years of intentional presence across continents. As open nesters, so many of us are searching for ways to rewrite our stories once our kids begin to fly, and Jennifer and Chris offer a breathtaking map of what happens when you dare to choose an unconventional path. Open Nesters Podcast Ethical Non-Monogamy in Midlife Long-Distance Polyamory Relationships Navigating Relationships with Adult Children Redefining Intimacy and Relationship Design Their story began decades ago as high school sweethearts who eventually went their separate ways, traveled the world, and reconnected later in life via long-distance emails and letters. What struck me immediately was how they built a foundation of compersion—that rare, beautiful feeling of genuine joy for your partner's happiness outside of yourself—long before they even attached a label to their relationship. By the time they officially stepped into an adult relationship together, they had already learned how to cheer each other on from afar, establishing a deep sense of trust that would soon be tested and expanded in ways neither expected. When Jennifer brought up the idea of exploring ethical non-monogamy, it wasn’t a reckless leap; it was a conscious invitation to growth. For Chris, taking those first steps into polyamory while separated by an ocean was a radical, challenging shift that required deliberate inner work. They immersed themselves in books, attended meetup groups, and established dedicated two-hour check-ins to hold space for the hard, uncomfortable conversations. Through navigating long-distance dating, time zone hurdles, and emotional friction, they discovered that opening their relationship didn’t pull them apart—it built an indestructible framework for radical honesty and deep self-awareness. What I love most about their dynamic is how fluidly they allowed their relationship to evolve. After several years of practicing polyamory, both Jennifer and Chris found themselves naturally transitioning back toward a committed, monogamous bond. Their time exploring open relationships wasn’t a “failed experiment”—it was a transformative bridge that taught them how to express their desires, set healthy boundaries, and bring a renewed sense of erotic novelty and intimacy back to each other. It's a powerful reminder that we have full permission to design our relationships in seasons, choosing what serves our growth at any given stage of life. This spirit of openness inevitably ripples into our homes and how we show up for our adult children. Both Jennifer and Chris recently experienced the unexpected gift of having their adult daughters move back home—Jennifer's 26-year-old daughter for ten months, and Chris's daughter while pursuing her PhD in Germany. As parents, watching our children navigate their own adult transitions allows us to model a life of continuous self-discovery. By letting go of traditional expectations in our own lives, we create a supportive, judgment-free space where our children feel safe to grow, return, and eventually take flight again. As we move through midlife, there is so much grace in giving ourselves permission to ask for what we need, whether that's in the bedroom, in our careers, or in our living arrangements. Aging doesn’t mean settling into static routines; it's an invitation to step out of the “vanilla” defaults society hands us and try something new from the menu. When we embrace the pauses, practice active listening, and give ourselves grace, we realize that midlife isn’t about holding onto control—it’s about opening our hearts to whatever rich experiences are waiting for us next. Reframing “Addiction” If there's one takeaway from my conversation with Jennifer and Chris, it's that there is no single right way to be an open nester. Whether you are navigating long-distance longing, rethinking your relationship design, or welcoming adult kids back into your spare room, the secret lies in savoring every season for what it is. I encourage you to pause, listen closely to your partner and yourself, and step boldly into your next chapter. What is one area in your relationship or life where you could give yourself more permission to grow this week?

Happy Birthday to the Church celebrating 2000 Years of Power MESSAGE SUMMARY: On this day of Pentecost, we're invited to explore the profound significance of the Holy Spirit in our lives. The message takes us through Jesus' teachings in John 14, where He promises the coming of the Helper - the Holy Spirit. We learn that the Spirit is not just a distant force, but a personal presence that dwells within us, bringing the very essence of Christ into our hearts. This indwelling Spirit transforms us, making us more like Jesus and empowering us to do His works. As we reflect on this, we're challenged to consider how we're allowing the Spirit to work in our lives. Are we grieving or quenching the Spirit through unforgiveness or sin? Or are we opening ourselves fully to His guidance and power? This Pentecost, let's renew our commitment to living Spirit-filled lives, recognizing that God's desire is for His presence to be with us always, not just now, but for eternity.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I now take a deep breath and stop. So often I miss your hand and gifts in my life because I am preoccupied and anxious. Grant me the power to pause each day and each week to simply rest in your arms of love. In Jesus' name, amen.    Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 132). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Resentment. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Compassion. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5).

There's always a purpose when God does something. He didn't just give us the power of the Holy Spirit for the sake of power. Any demonstration of power through the Holy Spirit is supposed to be for the purpose of being a witness to the gospel of Jesus. When we see the gifts of the Spirit moving, we should be able to use them to point people toward the gospel and what Jesus did. In today's message, Pastor Ricky shares the importance of us being bold believers of Jesus. "Mighty Fortress" by Sovereign Grace Music, used with permission.

This message explores the biblical theme of water as God's repeated pattern of bringing order out of chaos and offering new life. From the Spirit hovering over the waters in Genesis 1, through the flood with Noah, the Red Sea with Moses, and into the baptism proclaimed by John, Scripture shows God making a way through the waters for those who trust Him. Baptism is not a routine or mere tradition; it is participation in this ancient story of leaving the old life behind and rising into the life God provides. The call is to recover awe for what God does when someone enters those waters and to remain rooted in Scripture so we understand why it matters.

What if the reason you struggle to trust yourself as a practitioner has nothing to do with how intuitive you are - and everything to do with where you've been taught to look for answers? Jayne unpacks the three core reasons practitioners get stuck in the permission-seeking loop: outsourcing to the wrong sources (lineages, teachers, external systems), buying into the myth that more healing work = more self-trust, and learning in the wrong path to develop self-trust entirely. She reveals the Sacred Triangle - the relationship between theory, intuition, and spiritual wisdom that no single teacher can replicate for you - and shares the counterintuitive model that actually builds genuine practitioner authority: action first, self-trust fosters, understanding follows.BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE, YOUWILL DISCOVER:● The Sacred Triangle (theory, intuition, and spiritual wisdom in right relationship) is the missing piece that keeps practitioners stuck in cycles of asking external sources for answers. When all three points are in balance, you stop outsourcing your medicine to teachers and lineages - you unearth your own authentic way of working because you have direct access to all three sources of knowing simultaneously.● More healing work won't solve the self-doubt problem - and this is the controversial truth the spiritual industry doesn't often name. Self-doubt is part of being human and shows up for everyone (even the most experienced practitioners); what matters is stopping the belief that every moment of doubt means you're broken and need fixing.● Spirit-led work requires the reverse of conventional learning: action first, self-trust fosters, understanding follows. When you take action from within sacred space - grounded in the hollow bone state, in direct relationship with your guides and the energy itself - you experience directly that it works. Repeated lived experience builds genuine self-trust in a way no external teacher can manufacture.● No mentor can teach you beyond their own ceiling of self-trust and direct spiritual relationship. If they've been trained to rely on technique, that's what they'll teach; if they haven't built unmediated connection to spiritual wisdom, they can't show you how to build yours - which is why looking outside yourself for the answers perpetuates the cycle.And while you're here, I'd love to connect on Tiktok & Instagram @reikiredefined.Also, make sure to tag me in your stories @reikiredefined.Live lead & serve from the power of your own truth - Spirit-led Reiki Pathway: ⁠https://www.reikiredefined.com/spirit-led-reiki-pathway/⁠Stop absorbing your clients' energy: ⁠https://www.reikiredefined.com/stop-absorbing-your-clients-energy/⁠No cost non guru community with no hierarchy or all knowing behaviour: ⁠https://www.reikiredefined.com/free-community/⁠Essays on power, ethics & authority: ⁠https://jaynegoodsir.substack.com/⁠UNDILUTED (a weekly round up that encourages us to question what we've inherited, trust our direct experience, and remain curious about what we know to be true): ⁠https://reiki-redefined.kit.com/6629991732

How To Soar #RTTBROS #Nightlight #BibleWisdomDailyThe other day I was out watering the flowers and I noticed a hummingbird feeding at some wildflowers that I had planted , And I started to think about our own efforts in faith. We build up a rhythm, don't we? A constant flapping. Dozens of beats a second, just to keep going. It's impressive, that hummingbird. It's pure energy, and you know that if that frantic flapping stops for even a second, it hits the dirt. That's how I think many of us get our faith—by sheer, exhausting willpower. We flap, we push, we try harder, just to stay in the air.But Isaiah gives us a vision of something quite different. He tells us in Isaiah forty, verse thirty-one: "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, and they shall walk and not faint."Now, what does the eagle do? An eagle isn't a hummingbird. It doesn't fight the wind with its own muscle. It finds a rising current. It simply spreads its wings and lets the Spirit of God lift it higher and higher, hardly needing to expend its own strength. It's a beautiful shift in perspective, isn't it? The invitation isn't to try harder. It's to stop flapping and start trusting the current.It changes everything when you understand that God's job is to change our reliance, not just our effort.If you are feeling the weariness today, worn out from years of keeping your head above water, Isaiah offers a path upward. It asks us to exchange the hummingbird's frantic motion for the eagle's steady lift.I leave you with a few thoughts on how we can start waiting.First, you have to be still. Waiting is not doing nothing; it is suspending our own plans long enough to feel the wind beneath us. Second, you have to look up. We get so busy looking at our feet that we forget to see the currents God is already setting in motion around us.Third, you have to practice letting go. The hardest part of waiting is releasing the grip on our own strength.Closing prayer. Lord, I am tired of flapping just to stay afloat. Teach me to wait on you, to trust your Spirit's lift instead of my own strength, so I can soar instead of merely survive. In Jesus's name, amen.#RTTBROS #Nightlight #BibleWisdomDaily #ChristianWisdom #PracticalBiblicalWisdom

The Anahat (Heart) is the home of Self, Soul, Spirit, Atma, all one and meaning the same. Time and time again Her Holiness Shri Mataji has told us: ‘You are nothing but your eternal Spirit.’ This centre has to be treated with the greatest respect and understanding. Pure love, which enlightens all, is the true quality of the Heart.

Midday Prayer Opening O Lord, open my lips And my mouth will declare Your praise. Make haste, O God, to deliver me; Make haste to help me, O Lord.   Candle Lighting   Prayer of Approach (from St. Augustine) Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may be holy. Act in me, O Holy Spirit, that my work may be holy. Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, to love what is holy.   Psalm Reading - Psalm 117 - NLT (Pentecost) Praise the Lord, all you nations. Praise him, all you people of the earth. For his unfailing love for us is powerful; the Lord's faithfulness endures forever. Praise the Lord!   Scripture Reading - Matthew 7:24-25 Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.   Silent Meditation on God's Word   As we enter this time of meditation on God's Word, we pause to be still, to breathe slowly, to re-center our scattered senses on the presence of God, and to take a moment of silent prayer to ask the Holy Spirit to speak clearly to us through His Word.   -Pause-   As I read our text for today, listen for one word or phrase that is being spoken by God to you.   Ask yourself: Through which word or phrase is God wanting to speak to me today?   Allow that word or phrase to guide your meditation today. Repeat it over and over in your mind. Let it wash over you. Let it fill you.   Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.   As the Holy Spirit speaks to You today through His Word, take a moment now to pause and repeat that word over and over in your mind as you allow God's Word to wash over you and fill you.   -Pause-   Now we reflect on the word or phrase that God is highlighting for us today.   Ask yourself: What part of my life needs to hear this word from God?   The Spirit has highlighted something in this text for you today. What part of you really needs to hear that?   Here, I will read the text again, and then we will have a longer time of silence to reflect on what God is highlighting for you today.   Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.   Take a moment now to pause and consider: What part of your life needs to hear this word from God today?   -Pause-   Now we respond to God's Word.   As yourself, What is my response to God based on what I have encountered in His Word?   Because God speaks to us all in different ways, your response can also take on many different forms.   Maybe that response is in the form of a prayer. Use this time to thank and praise God. Speak to and listen to Him. Ask Him for something. Allow your prayer to flow from your heart freely and fully.   Or maybe God is reminding you of something. Maybe He's reminding you of your identity in Him. Or of His promises. Or of His presence in your life. And so I encourage you to sit in that reminder.   Or is God inviting you to respond in some physical way to the word that you have heard?   Maybe it's an encouragement to keep doing what you're doing. Maybe it's an encouragement to stop doing what you're doing. Maybe it's an encouragement to start doing something new.   We hear God's Word and respond to it.    Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.   Take a moment now to pause and consider: What is your response to God based on what you have encountered in His Word?   -Pause-   And now we rest in God's Word.   We have read God's Word. We have reflected on it. You have responded to it.   Now we return to a place of rest.    Remember that this rest is not based on your works. It is not based on your response to God's Word. But today and every day, we can rest in God's promises and His presence here with us today.   Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.   Take a moment now to rest in God's promises and His presence here with us today.   -Pause-   Lord's Prayer Our Father who art in heaven: hallowed be Thy name: Thy kingdom come: Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven:  Give us this day our daily bread: and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us:  and lead us not into temptation: but deliver us from evil: For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.   Benediction Eternal Creator of light, Yours is the morning and Yours is the evening. Draw us to Yourself so there will be no darkness within us. Amen. Let us go in peace. Thanks be to God. *Liturgy was compiled using resources from Lectio 365 and Ruth Haley Barton's "Invitation to Retreat."

This sermon examines the nature and history of divine communication. Dr. Boadum argues that divine disclosure has evolved through four distinct eras: supernatural encounters, the age of prophets, the era of the Son, and the current dispensation of the Spirit. He critiques "grassroots prophets" who prioritize personal gain, contrasting them with the "more than a prophet" status held by biblical figures like Moses. Ultimately, this serves as a guide for believers to navigate the prophetic ministry by prioritizing the Holy Spirit and scriptural truth over sensationalism.

Now,the Gospel certainly must come to us in words. Romans 10:17 tells us, “Sothen faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Someone musttell us the wonderful story that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came into thisworld, lived a perfect and sinless life, died on the cross for our sins, wasburied, and rose again on the third day. The Gospel has a message, and thatmessage must be proclaimed. The word“power” reminds us that the Gospel is not merely information to be considered;it is the power of God that transforms those who believe. Paul said in Romans1:16, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power ofGod unto salvation to every one that believes.” Thinkabout that. The Gospel can take a sinner and make him a saint. It can takesomeone who is spiritually dead and give him spiritual life. It can break thechains of sin, give hope to the hopeless, peace to the troubled heart, andcompletely change the direction of a person's life. I have seen that power overand over again through the years. Programs can help people. Education caninform people. Good advice can encourage people. But only the Gospel of JesusChrist can give a person a new heart and make him a new creation. SecondCorinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation:old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” Butnotice where this power comes from. Paul says the Gospel came “in the HolyGhost.” Paul understood that he could preach the truth, but only the HolySpirit could take that truth and apply it to the human heart. Jesus said inJohn 16 that the Holy Spirit would convict the world of sin, righteousness, andjudgment. That should be a great encouragement to those of us who want to shareChrist with others. Sometimes we become concerned that we do not know exactlywhat to say. We worry that we will not have the right words or be able toanswer every question. But remember, we are not the ones who save people. Goddoes. Our responsibility is to faithfully share the Gospel. The Holy Spirittakes the Word of God and works in the heart. That is why prayer is soimportant when we witness. We should pray, “Lord, give me the words to say, andHoly Spirit, take those words and use them to touch this person's heart.” ThenPaul adds another phrase. The Gospel came “in much assurance.” There is a tremendous differencebetween speaking about something we merely know intellectually and speakingabout something that has become a reality in our own lives. Paul could preachChrist with assurance because Paul knew Christ personally. And theThessalonians could see that conviction in him. Noticethe final part of the verse: “As you know what manner of men we were amongyou for your sake.” Paul is reminding them, “You not only heard ourmessage—you watched our lives.” That is so important. The Gospel should notonly be heard from our lips; it should be seen in our lives. People arewatching us. Our family watches us. Our neighbors watch us. The people we workwith watch us. The people we go to church with watch us. They want to knowwhether the Gospel we talk about on Sunday makes a difference in the way welive on Monday. Paul could say, “You know what manner of men we were amongyou.” What a testimony!Hewas not saying that he and Silas were perfect. But their conduct was consistentwith the message they proclaimed.AndI believe this verse gives us a wonderful pattern for effective Christianwitness. We need the Word of God— “not in word only.” We need the powerof God— “but also in power.” We need the Spirit of God— “and in theHoly Ghost.” We need the assurance of God— “and in much assurance.” Andwe need a life that demonstrates the reality of the Gospel— “what manner ofmen we were among you.” My friend, the world does not simply need morereligious talk. The world needs to see the Gospel demonstrated by lives thathave been transformed by Jesus Christ.

परिवािमा चेलापन Discipleship in Our Families Cross-Way Church Sermon Series June – August 2026  After exploring our Union with Christ in His Resurrection, we now move from the empty tomb into the very rooms where we live, eat, and rest. If the Resurrection is truly the "colonization of earth with the life of heaven," then the primary colony of heaven is the Christian family. Discipleship is not a program we attend at church; it is a lifestyle we embody at home. Often, we compartmentalize our faith, leaving it at the church gates. However, the Great Commission begins in the living room. As Deuteronomy 6 reminds us, we are to talk of God's commands when we sit in our houses, when we walk by the way, when we lie down, and when we rise up.Goal: To equip every member of Cross-Way Church to view their household not just as a domestic unit, but as a missionary outpost where Christ is formed in the next generation and where the Gospel is lived out in the mundane tasks of daily life.  Key Scriptural Foundations• Deuteronomy 6:6–7: "These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children."• Joshua 24:15: "But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord."• Ephesians 5:21–6:4: The framework for Spirit-filled relationships within the home.  • Psalm 127:1: "Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain."

His commitment to excellence extends well beyond the stage and studio. As an educator and mentor, he has invested deeply in the next generation of bassists, setting a living example of discipline, curiosity, and musical integrity.Now, in yet another inspired chapter of his extraordinary career, Maestro Carter joins forces with renowned choirmaster Ricky Dillard for a powerful gospel–jazz collaboration, Sweet Sweet Spirit, released February 6, 2026.This project beautifully bridges sanctified soul and sophisticated swing, blending Carter's masterful touch with Dillard's uplifting choral brilliance.The result is music that feels both reverent and rhythmically alive, deeply rooted, yet refreshingly expansive.It is truly an honor to share this conversation with a living legend whose work continues to inspire musicians across genres and generations.Here is Maestro Ron Carter.This interview first appeared in Bass Musician Magazine in June 2026Go to jazzguitartoday.com and bassmusicianmagazine.com more interviews and lessons.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible-in-a-year podcast with 20-minute Scripture readings, Christ-centered devotion, and guided prayer. This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this 12th day of August, we journey through Jeremiah 10–12 and John 14 with Hunter, your Bible reading coach. In Jeremiah, we encounter the folly of idols, the faithfulness of the living God, and the prophet's struggle to understand what God is doing in the midst of injustice and suffering. Then, in John 14, Jesus draws his disciples into some of the deepest mysteries of our faith, revealing his union with the Father and promising the coming presence of the Holy Spirit. Yet amid these profound mysteries, Jesus gives his disciples something remarkably simple: follow me. There is so much about God, life, and faith that we may not fully understand, but we are not required to have everything figured out before we walk with Christ. We are invited to trust his presence, receive his peace, and go where he leads. Today's devotion reminds us that faith is not ultimately about mastering every mystery, but about learning to hear the voice of Jesus and respond when he says, "Come, let's be going." TODAY'S DEVOTION: There are some things about God that are simply beyond us. In John 14, Jesus is speaking to his disciples about some of the deepest mysteries imaginable. He tells them that he is in the Father and the Father is in him. He tells them that the Holy Spirit, the Advocate, will come and live within them. He tells them that somehow, through the Spirit, they will participate in this life and love that exists between the Father and the Son. That's a lot to take in. And you can almost feel Thomas and Philip trying to keep up. They want more explanation. They want Jesus to slow things down and make everything clearer. Thomas says, essentially, "We don't even know where you're going." Philip says, "Just show us the Father and we'll be satisfied." I understand that impulse. I think most of us do. There are so many things about faith that we want explained. There are mysteries we want solved and questions we want answered. We want greater clarity about God, about ourselves, about suffering, about the future, about what God is doing in our lives. But Jesus doesn't give his disciples a theological diagram that explains everything. Instead, he gives them himself. He tells them not to let their hearts be troubled. He promises them his peace. He promises the Spirit. He reminds them that they are not being abandoned. And then, at the end of the chapter, he says something remarkably ordinary and practical: "Come, let's be going." Come. Follow me. There is something beautiful about that. The mysteries are still mysteries. The disciples still don't understand everything. But Jesus is with them, and for now that is enough. They can follow him. And maybe that is enough for us today too. You don't have to understand everything before you follow Jesus. You don't have to solve every theological question or make sense of every circumstance in your life. There are things we may understand later that we simply cannot understand now. But we can hear his voice. We can receive his peace. We can trust the Spirit who lives within us. And we can follow. Jesus says that he is the way, the truth, and the life. The way is not simply information about God. The way is a person. And as we follow him, we begin to experience the life he has promised us. We discover his peace, his strength, his joy, and his presence along the way. So maybe today, instead of demanding an answer to every mystery, we can simply listen for the invitation of Jesus: Come, let's be going. Follow me. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.

If it feels like everyone around you is going through some version of an ending right now… you're not imagining it. August is a 9 Universal Month in Numerology… an archetypal threshold of endings, culmination, wisdom and release before we step into the fresh 1 energy of September. In this episode, I'm talking about what to do when you know something is over… but letting go still feels terrifying. I share 3 spiritual anchors for moving through an ending: 1. Humility: getting clear on what you were wrong about, what no longer works, and what you may not actually want anymore. 2. Your Wise Self: reconnecting with the deeper part of you that knew all along and allowing that part of you to take the helm. 3. Surrender: accepting what has happened, releasing your fight with the past, and allowing Spirit to handle what was never yours to control. If you are standing at the edge of an era (grieving, scared, uncertain, or wondering what comes next) this episode is for you. You haven't lost your magic. You may simply be in the final stages of birthing a wiser version of yourself. ✨ Book with Nat: Want to understand the Numerology of the cycle you are personally moving through?

Welcome back, roadies! Todd and Jim are joined in the corner of Rick House in Frankfort, Kentucky by returning guest Drew Hannush of the Whiskey Lore podcast for his sixth appearance on the show. The crew had just come off a big night in Lawrenceburg attending the premiere of Bo Cumberland's documentary *Spirit of Lawrenceburg*, a film tracing the deep distilling heritage of Anderson County — and they brought a very special bottle back from the event to kick things off. Drew also shares details about his ongoing research into the early history of bourbon, including a new book project that he is releasing chapter by chapter on his podcast as he writes it, inviting listener feedback in real time. On the Tasting Mat: - WH McBrayer 250th Special Edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey: A limited release of only 1,776 bottles celebrating 250 years of the McBrayer legacy. Bottled at 105 proof from a blend of 11 barrels aged five to seven years, using the distinctive Bloody Butcher corn mash bill (88.4% Bloody Butcher corn, 5.8% Heritage Rye, 5.8% Malted Barley). The nose opens with stone fruits — pear and apple — alongside a well-aged grain character and a light mint note. The palate is full and lingering, leaning sweet upfront before drying out with oak, rye spice, and cinnamon on the finish. MSRP $100, available at select Northern Kentucky retailers and at Bourbon on the Bank. *(00:01:58)* - Hard Truth Double Oak Sweet Mash Bourbon: A limited release from Hard Truth Distilling Co. in Nashville, Indiana, bottled at 106.1 proof. Made from a mash bill of 73% corn, 19% rye, and 8% malted barley, this expression undergoes a secondary aging of over one year in a second custom-char new American oak barrel. Only 28 barrels were produced. The nose is relatively subdued with mild herbal notes, but the palate delivers a rich, concentrated punch of sweetness backed by dark fruits, graham cracker, toasted granola, and a bitter dark chocolate finish with hints of cola. The secondary barrel adds sweetness without overwhelming the whiskey with char or marshmallow notes. MSRP approximately $60. *(00:17:30)* - Bardstown Bourbon Company Victoria Pineapple Barrel Finish: A finished American whiskey blending 10- and 11-year-old straight bourbon and rye, aged 27 months in rum casks that previously held premium rum aged with prized Victoria Pineapple — with fresh pineapple also added directly to the barrel during finishing. Bottled at 106.1 proof and available only in Kentucky. MSRP $140 for a 750ml. The nose is immediately tropical and warming, with grilled pineapple and a gentle burn. The palate is lush and syrupy-sweet — not quite cloying — with a mouthfeel that lingers, layers of tropical fruit, and just enough rye spice and dark cherry emerging on subsequent sips. The panel agreed this pours like a cocktail in a glass, with strong potential as a highball or warm-weather sipper. *(00:30:00)* - Potter Jane Big Fat Liar Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey: The first aged whiskey release from Potter Jane Distilling Company in Springfield, Kentucky, founded by industry veterans Denny Potter and Jane Bowie. The name playfully references their earlier vow never to source whiskey — a promise this bottle good-naturedly breaks. Aged six years, vatted for seven months in American and French oak casks, and bottled at 109.4 proof. Limited to approximately 1,200 bottles, released during Kentucky Bourbon Week. MSRP $49.99. The nose is light and classic, with vanilla, a touch of apple, and a hint of citrus. The palate is well-balanced and viscous, with a sweet sizzle on entry, apple cobbler, restrained dark chocolate, and a quiet coffee-bean note on the finish. Crushable and approachable at proof, with nothing out of place. *(00:33:26)* Four bottles, four personalities, one memorable evening in Kentucky bourbon country. Whether you caught the *Spirit of Lawrenceburg* premiere or are just tuning in for the whiskey, this episode covers the spectrum from heritage grain bourbons to tropical barrel experiments — all in a tight proof band that made for a genuinely competitive tasting mat. Be sure to check out Drew Hannush and the Whiskey Lore podcast, and head over to thebourbonroad.com to join the Roadie Bar, search our full archive of 1,360-plus tasting notes, and keep up with everything happening on the Bourbon Road.

NO OTHER NAME - ACTS 4:1-12 - BRIAN SUMNER - 2026ACTS 4:1-12 "Now as they spoke to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees came upon them, 2 being greatly disturbed that they taught the people and preached in Jesus the resurrection from the dead. 3 And they laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was already evening. 4 However, many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.Addressing the Sanhedrin5 And it came to pass, on the next day, that their rulers, elders, and scribes, 6 as well as Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the family of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem. 7 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, “By what power or by what name have you done this?”8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders of Israel: 9 If we this day are judged for a good deed done to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well, 10 let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. 11 This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.' 12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”To support this channel and partner with Brian in Ministryhttps://www.briansumner.net/support/For more on Brianhttp://www.briansumner.nethttps://www.instagram.com/BRIANSUMNER/https://www.facebook.com/BRIANSUMNEROFFICIALTo listen to Brians Podcast, click below.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Purchase Brians Marriage book at https://www.amazon.com/Never-Fails-Da...Brian is a full time "Urban Missionary" both locally and internationally with a focus on MISSIONS - MARRIAGES - MINISTRY. Since coming to faith in 2004 doors continued opening locally and internationally to do more and more ministry with a focus on Evangelism, Outreach Missions, Marriage, Counsel, Schools, Festivals, Conferences and the like.  Everything about this ministry is made possible because of people personally partnering through the non profit. God Bless and thank you. †Support the showSUPPORT THE SHOW

Are you resting in the ultimate sufficiency of Jesus, or are you letting the chaos of life steal your peace and limit your willingness to obey? This week on Off Script, Neil and Scott are back together as Scott returns from his six-week break to dig into Week 2 of the Resilience series out of Acts Chapter 8. The guys dive into the story of Philip, Simon the sorcerer, and the Ethiopian eunuch, exploring what it looks like to be flexible in our faith and willing to go wherever God sends us. They break down the modern allure of the new age and the occult, unpack the tension between the word, power, and mission of God, and challenge us to push past our own embarrassment so we can point "one more" person to Jesus. The Challenge This week, audit your heart for anyone you have marginalized, written off, or assumed is "too far gone" for the Gospel. Choose to stop talking about them critically, begin praying for them intentionally, and let your desperation for their eternity overcome your fear or embarrassment so you can invite them to take a step toward Jesus. Hosts: Neil Gregory and Scott Nickell What We Discuss  • Scott's chaotic travel nightmare coming back from Colorado and finding true rest in Jesus amidst elusive circumstances • Why Scott expanded his sermon beyond Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch to walk through all of Acts Chapter 8 • Unpacking the story of Simon the sorcerer and our modern cultural fascination with the occult and new age mysticism • Resource recommendations including Ensnared by Jac Marino Chen and books by Aaron Renn and Carl Trueman • The crucial distinction between "freedom OF religion" versus "freedom FROM religion" in public spaces like FCA • The difference between the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit versus the empowering manifestation of the Spirit on believers • Why it's our job to faithfully sow seeds of the Gospel without trying to manage or judge the soil of people's hearts • Letting your desperation for people's eternity exceed your fear or embarrassment when making an invitation • The three-circle balance of a resilient church: holding the Word of God, Power of God, and Mission of God in equal tension • How Southland can practically live out speaking truth unashamedly, worshipping defiantly, and extending grace generously ⸻ About Southland Christian Church Southland is one church meeting in multiple locations across central Kentucky. We believe Jesus came for the lost and the broken, which means there's a place for everyone here. Around here, that means we worship defiantly, speak truth unashamedly, and extend grace generously.

Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound an alarm on my holy mountain. The army Joel saw in chapter 1 now darkens the whole horizon, and at the head of it the LORD utters His voice; the swarm turns out to be His. That is what makes the appeal in verse 12 possible: return to me with all your heart. Rend your hearts and not your garments, for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love. Everyone is summoned, elders and nursing infants and the bridegroom from his chamber, while the priests weep between the vestibule and the altar: spare your people, O LORD.  The Rev. Dr. Curtis Deterding, pastor emeritus in Fort Myers, FL, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Joel 2:1-17. Edom stands at the crossroads and watches his brother Judah dragged off in chains, and Obadiah announces that the day of the LORD is coming for the bystander, too. Joel sees a locust swarm strip a nation bare in a single season, calls the people to rend their hearts and not their garments, and promises a Spirit poured out on all flesh. Nahum returns to Nineveh a century after Jonah's revival, and this time the superpower does not repent. Zephaniah spends two chapters on the day of wrath and then ends with the Lord singing over the people He has rescued. This series on Thy Strong Word works through these selected books of the so-called "minor" prophets verse by verse, showing how the Lord judges the nations while also keeping his promises to gather His people home.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations. Submit comments or questions to: thystrongword@kfuo.org.
