What does it really mean to have a radical focus on Jesus? Many of us believe the right things and stay connected to church, yet our lives can feel blurry and unfocused. In this message, Pastor AK Kuruvilla explores why focusing on Jesus is foundational to a well-lived life and how loving Him is always expressed through obedience. By looking at the Great Commandment and the Great Commission, we are reminded that following Jesus is not about extremes but about exclusive allegiance. • A radical focus on Jesus is the root of how we live, love, and follow Him• Loving Jesus is evidenced by obedience, even when it's difficult• Discipleship happens in the gap between knowing truth and living it outKey Scriptures:Matthew 22:36–40Matthew 28:18–20John 14:15–23Colossians 2:6–7Psalm 16:1–11Ask yourself where your focus may have drifted and what obedience to Jesus looks like in this season of life. Commit to growing alongside others by stepping into biblical community, and share this message with someone who desires a life centered on Christ.Bayou City Fellowship Spring Branch Campus | AK Kuruvilla | January 18, 2026https://linktr.ee/bayoucityfellowship
In this message, Missions Pastor George Terry unpacks the biblical foundation for serving the city and the world. This sermon challenges our view of success, faith, and prayer, calling us to value eternal impact over temporary results. Greater works are not about more spectacular miracles, but about God accomplishing His purposes through ordinary believers who pray, trust, and obey.• God chose to accomplish His work through believers, not apart from them• Greater works are more extensive, eternal impact, not greater spectacle• Prayer aligned with God's will is the power behind God's missionKey Scriptures:John 14:12–14Psalm 8Acts 1:1–2James 4:2–3As you consider this message, ask God how He wants to use your life in His mission this year. Pray for a heart that desires what Jesus desires, and take a step toward serving locally or globally. Share this message with friends or family who are longing for purpose beyond the everyday.Bayou City Fellowship Spring Branch Campus | George Terry | January 11, 2026https://linktr.ee/bayoucityfellowship
The new year is a natural time to reflect and redirect, and in this message, Pastor Kevin Bear calls the church back to the heart of why we exist. Jesus is building His church, and He invites ordinary people to join Him in a mission that brings lasting meaning and eternal impact. Through Jesus' question to His disciples in Matthew 16, this sermon explores who Jesus truly is, where He is leading, and how each of us has a responsibility to live a multiplying life.• Knowing the true identity of Jesus is the most important decision of your life• Following Jesus means aligning your life with His mission to make disciples• God calls every believer to multiply their life by investing in othersKey Scriptures:Matthew 16:13–20Matthew 28:18–20Acts 1:6–8Numbers 8:23–26As you begin this year, ask yourself three questions: Who do I say Jesus is? Where is He leading? And how will I take responsibility to be part of His mission? Pray for opportunities to initiate, invite, invest, and multiply in the lives of others.

In Luke 2:21–40, we see what happens after the manger. Mary and Joseph faithfully obey God's law, Simeon celebrates the fulfillment of God's promises, and Anna responds to years of heartache with worship and hope. Together, they remind us that God always fulfills what He promises and invites His people to live faithfully while they wait.• Jesus fulfills the law, the promises of God, and our deepest needs• God meets us personally in seasons of waiting and heartache• Faithfulness is formed through small, consistent acts of obedienceKey Scriptures:Luke 2:21–40Matthew 5:17Hebrews 2:14–18As God fulfills His promises, He calls us to live faithfully in the lives He has given us. Consider where God is inviting you to trust Him, grow patiently, and remain faithful in the small things.

A boom in a quiet hangar, a frantic call, and a beloved 1968 Dodge Coronet 440 suddenly fighting for its life—this one starts with a gut punch and turns into a blueprint for getting back up. We're broadcasting from the Back to the Past Car Show in Spring Branch, surrounded by alumni, barbecue smoke, and a lineup that stretches from American muscle to a fresh JDM class. Adalia Graves, from the Spring Branch High School Foundation shares the moment her numbers-matching Mopar caught fire, the shock of seeing firefighters cut into the hood, and how she's navigating stated-value insurance, buyback math, and the long road to a faithful restoration.We trade stories like only car people do: a 2010 Corvette convertible with character, a legendary high-mile C5, and the quiet joy of fixing what others would scrap. Then Jeff opens the vault on “too powerful for their time” factory legends—the Chevy Impala Z-11, Pontiac's Super Duty “Swiss Cheese” Catalina, Ford's Thunderbolt, and the Hemi Dart—machines with underrated horsepower and quarter-mile swagger that still bend the market and our imaginations. It's a tour through the era when Detroit built street-legal race cars to win on Sunday and sell on Monday, the DNA of everything we love about performance.All of it plays out on a campus rich with memories. Cornerstone Academy stands where Spring Branch High School once anchored a neighborhood that's changed but never lost its pride. Sponsors like GNS Automotive roll in deep, judges fan out, and the Foundation turns registration and tacos into scholarships and local support. Between rain sprinkles and chrome reflections, it's clear why car culture endures: we fix, we share, we keep the wheels turning together.If stories like these move you, follow the show, share it with a friend who gets it, and leave a quick review. Your support helps more builders, survivors, and legends find the mic.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Alyssa from Deer Park takes on Jim from Spring Branch on Day 13 of The Suburb Summer Sizzlerbrought to you by Shell FCU
It's Friday, July 18th, A.D. 2025. 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 Nigerian Muslims slaughter Christian farmers Nigerian Muslims murder Christian farmers there on almost a daily basis, reports International Christian Concern. Back in November 2020, the Muslim terrorist group, Boko Haram, slit the throats of 43 Christian farmers who were farming rice. Some were fishermen. The government remains silent in the face of this genocide. The Christian farmers need our voices. International Christian Concern is raising money for an Emergency Relief Fund. You can make a contribution through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. According to Open Doors, Nigeria is the seventh most dangerous country worldwide for Christians to live. Ukrainian parliament picks new Prime Minister The Ukrainian parliament voted on July 17 to confirm Yuliia Svyrydenko as the new prime minister in a major cabinet shake-up. Svyrydenko, a 39-year-old economist, was tapped by President Volodymyr Zelensky to replace Denys Shmyhal after his five years in office. The new prime minister was confirmed with the support of 262 votes, with 22 voting against her and 26 abstaining. The reshuffle takes place as Ukraine continues to resist Russia's full-scale invasion while seeking to navigate a transforming relationship with its key international supporter, the United States. Mike Pence: Trump should release all Epstein files On Wednesday, CBS' Major Garrett asked former Vice President Mike Pence about the controversy swirling around the alleged Epstein list, reports the Gateway Pundit. It allegedly reveals the names of wealthy men who participated in the sex trafficking of girls and young women through the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. Listen. GARRET: “President Trump said that the Jeffrey Epstein matter is a hoax. Last week, his justice department said there were more than 1,000 victims of Jeffrey Epstein. Last summer, Trump said he was open to declassifying all the relevant files and the Epstein client list and that his suicide looks suspicious. How can all those things be true and it be a hoax? I don't understand where things stand with all this.” PENCE: “I think the time has come for the administration to release all of the files regarding Jeffrey Epstein's investigation and prosecution. It's important that we protect the names of the victims. They should be excluded from any disclosure. “But whether or not the facts justify charges, I think that anyone who participated or was associated with this despicable man ought to be held up to public scrutiny.” Numbers 32:23 says, “Be sure: your sin will find you out.” Possible tropical depression off Gulf of America The weather system moving across the Florida Panhandle on Wednesday was showing a greater chance of becoming a tropical depression as it moves toward the northern Gulf Coast, according to the National Hurricane Center. The system has a 40 percent chance of becoming a tropical depression as it moves west over the Gulf of America toward southeastern Louisiana. The tropical weather will affect Alabama and Mississippi as well. New Orleans is bracing for 3 to 5 inches of rain through Saturday, but some areas could see as much as 10 inches. Camp Mystic counselor, who died in flood, worked with special needs kids 19-year-old Katherine Ferruzzo was devoted to caring for children, from the campers in her cabin at Camp Mystic in Hunt, Texas to the students with special needs who she helped as a teacher aide at Spring Branch elementary schools, reports the San Antonio Express-News. She planned to become a special education teacher after arriving at the University of Texas at Austin this fall to start her freshman year. Tragically, Ferruzzo died in the Fourth of July floods that swept through Camp Mystic, an all-girls Christian summer retreat along the Guadalupe River in western Kerr County. She had been the only counselor who remained unaccounted for, when her family members said in a statement that her remains had been found last Friday. Her family said they are establishing the Katherine Ferruzzo Legacy Foundation “to honor Katherine and her compassion for those with special needs and learning differences.” She recently graduated from Memorial High School, where she helped set up the school's debut Unity Game, a mini-football game in which students with special needs could play football, cheerlead, or play in the band. She was one of at least 28 Camp Mystic counselors and campers along with owner Richard Eastland who died in the July 4th flood. Father in flood used final moments to call his children And finally, Jeff Ramsey, a Texas father used his final moments before he was swept away by the furious flood waters of the Guadalupe River to call his son and daughter, reports Fox 4 in Dallas. Jake Ramsey, 24 years old, and his sister Rachel, age 23, never could have imagined the tragic turn a fourth of July getaway would take for their dad and his wife, Tonya. RAMSEY: “They were definitely in the camper when it was swept away. Twenty-six feet and 45 minutes, that's it's just truly one of the most horrific disasters you can imagine.” Once Jeff Ramsey realized it was too late for him and Tonya, he called his son and then his daughter to say goodbye. RAMSEY: “He left us both voicemails, just saying, ‘Hey buddy, I love you so much. I think this is it for us. Tell Rachel I love her.' “I went to listen to that message, and it broke me. Hers came after mine, and it was when they were already heading downstream. You could hear the panic, and it was just heartbreaking. We'll never listen to those messages again.” Jeff Ramsey made another call to Tonya's brother who was also camping along the Guadalupe River. RAMSEY: “Thank the Lord he called he called Tanya's brother because otherwise they would have probably slept in and been swept away in the flood as well.” Jeff found the frame of the camper. RAMSEY: “The frame's bent and just obliterated.” So far, only Tonya's body has been recovered. RAMSEY: “My dad always said, ‘God has great plans for you.' That was his one liner. And God calls us to trust Him no matter how terrible things may get.” Jeff was vice president of benefits with the Miller group. He also did a lot of volunteer work with the Adaptive Training Foundation, a gem for amputees. Tonya's cancer battle connected her with wigs.com where she was the client care manager. Jake offered a word of wisdom. RAMSEY: “Treat every day like it's your last. And you know, that's something that he did, and so I'm so grateful that he had such a great heart.” Psalm 90:12 says, “So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, July 18th, in the year of our Lord 2025.
