Karl Walker • Psalm 36:1–36:12
Matthew 9:1–13 (NLT) 1 Jesus climbed into a boat and went back across the lake to his own town. 2 Some people brought to him a paralyzed man on a mat. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “Be encouraged, my child! Your sins are forgiven.” 3 But some of the teachers of religious law said to themselves, “That’s blasphemy! Does he think he’s God?” 4 Jesus knew what they were thinking, so he asked them, “Why do you have such evil thoughts in your hearts? 5 Is it easier to say ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or ‘Stand up and walk’? 6 So I will prove to you that the Son of Man has the authority on earth to forgive sins.” Then Jesus turned to the paralyzed man and said, “Stand up, pick up your mat, and go home!” 7 And the man jumped up and went home! 8 Fear swept through the crowd as they saw this happen. And they praised God for giving humans such authority. 9 As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at his tax collector’s booth. “Follow me and be my disciple,” Jesus said to him. So Matthew got up and followed him. 10 Later, Matthew invited Jesus and his disciples to his home as dinner guests, along with many tax collectors and other disreputable sinners. 11 But when the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with such scum?” 12 When Jesus heard this, he said, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do.” 13 Then he added, “Now go and learn the meaning of this Scripture: ‘I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.’ For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.”
Many believers know that “God is love.” But whether through cultural lies, false beliefs, or years of mulling over the tragedies of the world, it may be difficult to see the true, steadfast, and unchanging love of the Father. Thankfully, the Bible offers a clear picture of what God’s love looks like and how, through the ministry of the Holy Spirit, believers experience His affection for themselves. Pastor and theologian Dr. Sam Storms will address what God’s love is and what it isn’t. Join us as Dr. Storms breaks down obstacles that prevent believers from accepting biblical truths and challenges the cultural lies that hinder them from accepting God’s vast and unfathomable love.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

SERMON IN A SENTENCE: Be steadfast in thanks because God is steadfast in love.
The LORD brings an indictment against His people. He reminds them that He has done nothing to weary them, but He has always brought them redemption throughout His dealings with them. Micah leads the people in remembering that the response the LORD desires is not merely an outward show, but rather a sincere and humble faith in the LORD who is merciful and just. Despite Micah's faithful preaching, the people respond with continued deceit toward each other. Therefore, the LORD proclaims that they will not reap the fruit they desire. Rev. Matt Wietfeldt, Assistant Vice President of Admissions at Concordia Theological Seminary in Ft. Wayne, IN, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Micah 6:1-16. To learn more about Concordia Theological Seminary, visit ctsfw.edu. “Majoring in the Minors” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that goes through the books of Hosea, Joel, Jonah, Micah, and Nahum. Although the books of these prophets are shorter, the Word of God they preached was important in the years leading up to the coming of the Christ, and that Word remains important for the Church today. Just as we still need to listen to their call to repentance over our idolatry, so we still need to heed their call to trust in the Savior, Jesus. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where we journey through the Scriptures together every day. In today's episode—September 6th, 2025—Hunter, your Bible reading coach, invites you to join in as we continue our trek through the entire Bible. Today's readings take us into the prophetic messages of Ezekiel chapters 29 and 32, capturing God's judgment and future restoration of Egypt, and then into the powerful visions of Revelation chapter 11, where we witness the testimony of the two witnesses and the triumphant announcement of Christ's eternal reign. As always, we keep things simple: the goal is not only to read, but to be transformed by the God who is love. Hunter reflects on the steadfastness of God—how, even in times of captivity and hardship, God is faithful to uphold His people, just as He did for King Jehoiachin. The episode closes with heartfelt prayer, the Lord's Prayer, and greetings from the global DRB community, reminding us of the unity we share in God's Word, no matter where we are. So, whether you're joining from Oregon, Quebec, New Zealand, or anywhere else in the world, settle in as we read, reflect, and are renewed by the enduring love of God. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Live in the light of the steadfast God. Over and over again in our passages today, we hear Ezekiel marking time—anchoring every prophecy and vision to the years of Jehoiachin's captivity. Jehoiachin, whose very name means “God will uphold,” is a living reminder in exile that no matter how dark the seasons, God's steadfastness does not waver. The gods of the surrounding nations—Assyria, Egypt, Tyre, and more—have all fallen to the grave, their promises and powers exhausted. But our God? He remains. He is steadfast. He upholds his people even in captivity, even when hope runs thin. In the visions of Ezekiel, we see the futility of depending on earthly strength, on nations that seem mighty for a time but whose pride precedes their downfall. Yet, in the midst of the ruins, God's faithfulness stands out all the brighter. After decades of Jehoiachin's imprisonment in Babylon, even after all appeared lost, God upheld him—granting him favor, restoring his dignity, and seating him at the king's table. God was steadfast, even when there was little to show for it but hope and memory. Revelation reminds us that the kingdoms of this world—those that are now forgotten or in ruins—will finally become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and He will reign forever. This is our anchor. The enduring, unfailing love of God is our foundation, more firm than any earthly throne or power. God will uphold you. He is steadfast in his love and faithfulness. Perhaps you find yourself measuring time by days of hardship. Perhaps, like Jehoiachin, you wonder if your story will ever turn. Remember: God will be faithful to you. He will not forget you in your season of exile. He will lift you from the pit, clothe you in his righteousness, and set you at his table. That's who He is—the Upholder, the Steadfast One. His faithful love endures forever. Let us trust in that steadfast love. Let us remember, as we go through our own trials and waiting, that God will uphold us too. That is the prayer I hold for my own soul. That is the prayer I hold for my family. And that is the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Loving God, you have knit us together in the body of Christ from every nation and tongue. Make us a vessel of your peace today. Make us a vessel of your peace today. Where hatred stirs, let us bear your love. Where wounds run deep, let us be agents of pardon. Where fear grips hearts, may we speak faith. Where sorrow hangs heavy, may we carry joy. Teach us to listen more than we speak. To understand before we are understood. To love. For in surrender we find abundance. In mercy, we discover grace. And in dying, we rise into your life. In the name of Jesus. 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 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.
