It's Witness Wednesday! Join Todd Friel on campus at Georgia State University as he engages four different students on topics like truth, meaning, and the afterlife. Focusing on self-examination and the call of the gospel, these students are pointed towards the true transformation that Christ brings us. Segment 1 • Eduardo believes in God, but admits he's drifted from church and isn't sure about heaven or hell. • He thinks he's “a good person”—until he's gently walked through the Ten Commandments. • He hears the full gospel, including God's justice and Jesus paying the penalty. Segment 2 • Joey believes in evolution despite recognizing complex design in software, his field of study. • His conscience gets confronted through a rapid-fire morality check. • He hears the gospel clearly: Jesus died for sinners like him. Segment 3 • Our next student is Catholic in name only, and admits he's not really committed to his faith. • Listens attentively as the purpose of creation and the gospel are explained as a demonstration of God's mercy and grace. • Concedes he's broken several of the Ten Commandments and agrees he's not a good person—then hears how Jesus saves sinners. Segment 4 • Final student of the day grew up in church but walked away. • He isn't hostile towards the Christian faith, but simply apathetic about it. • Left with a challenge to reconsider the true gospel. ___ Thanks for listening!

By Jorge de Campos - In the first two chapters, Paul addressed the source of the Colossian heresy—Gnosticism. Beginning in chapter 3, he turns to encouraging the Colossian brethren and moves into very practical applications of God's Word, focusing on how believers should treat one another. He explains what must be put
Barry heads into the 5th commandment. This one is an especially tricky one, the opposite of which seeps into our lives at every turn. How can we begin to fight back against our sinful nature? We can start by having the highest regard for the person in the world we know to be the most […]
6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 6:10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 6:11 Give us this day our daily bread. 6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
In 1 John 5verses1-5 we are told the source of overcoming the world - by the faith of the son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. And by that faith I live. An early Christadelphian writer, John Thomas said, that this was by a faith, which works by love and purifiers the soul (life). John Thomas was alluding to the early verses of Galatians 5. The Apostle John tells us that such a belief is evidence of our divine begetting. And, for us, it is the assurance ("by this we know") that God is with us. We can be more than conquerors through Him who loves us (Romans 8). The work, spoken of in chapter 2, is not about our love, but we do love the Father with all of our heart. And this love of the Father which impels us was the motive force of the life of the Son of God. Read Romans 8verses31-39 slowly and pause and ponder. Verses 6-12 provide testimony concerning the Son of God. Our Lord Jesus who came by water and blood - the water in which he was immersed at his baptism and the water of the Word of God with which his mind was saturated; and the blood of his sacrificial offering of himself. This offering was sanctified by the Word of God and prayer and pleased his Father. John is alluding to his witnessing of the crucifixion (John 19verses34-37). Verse 7 from the ESV reads, and I quote in full, "For there are three that testifyverses". Most of the better translations recognise the insertion into the text of additional words which aren't found in most of the older manuscripts. The additional words used in the KJV (and some other versions are admitted by most modern translations to be spurious and added by a Jesuit monk, Immanuel Tapsensis). Verse 8 identifies the three witnesses to our Lord's divine Sonship as - the Spirit, the water and the blood. Under the law at least two corroborating witnesses were needed to determine truth. John affirms total agreement among these witnesses. Additionally, God bore testimony, Matthew 3verses15-17, to His Son. And only in His Son, and through His Son's work, we have life. From verses 13-21 the beloved disciple John has written these things for our assurance ("that we may know"). We have known and believed upon the name above every name (Philippians 2verses9-11), and the only name in which there is salvation (Acts 4verses12). And through continuance in this Name salvation is assured. John repeats that the Father's ear is ever open to His children's pleas. Verses 16-17 reiterates that when we love the brethren we will help them (as they will likewise help us) when we stumble (Galatians 6verses1-5). Such advice and correction will prevent rejection at the coming judgment of our Lord Jesus Christ. But, for the habitual and lawless sinner, who has abandoned any attempt to continue walking in the light there remains "no offering for sin" (Hebrews 10verses26-39). Being begotten by God, through His Word (1 Peter 1verses22-25), we overcome in faith and walk in the way of His commandments. The world and its ways allure, but cannot conquer us. Finally, says John, "Keep yourself from idols" - a specific allusion to the Ten Commandments (especially numbers 1 and 10 which bookend all the others). Keeping ourselves from idols is about the tendency within our human nature to always look after ourselves before applying ourselves to living according to the ways of our Almighty Father.Thanks for joining us - we pray you found these comments helpful in your appreciation of God's words, join again tomorrow

Moses is the original Christian nationalist. Moses was called to set up an explicitly Christian nation/state. Moses went to Egypt in order to rescue his kin — his blood relatives (BLOOD)— from domination and slavery by a pagan society. He led them to Canaan's land (the cursed son of Ham were the “original” settlers). They invaded that land, killed the Canaanites (specific ethnos that were not the ethnos of Israel/Jacob). The Law (FAITH) of that land was the Ten Commandments. They had a contiguous geographic area. They spoke the same language and shared the same ancestors, customs, morals, and history. Let no one deceive you, all the Patriarchs and Prophets were Christians — they saw, heard and worshipped Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ was with the Father from the very beginning (and no man except Jesus Christ has seen the Father) Fritz Berggren www.bloodandfaith.com
Are the Ten Commandments relevant for Christians today? There are easier ways to live, so if we're going to engage in the struggle to live this kind of life, we need to be certain that this is what God is calling us to.
By Derek Strauss - We'll look at the history that has lead to the current situation, and we'll as look at God's plan for reconciling all these peoples. And then we'll ask the question,”What does that mean for us now”.
By Dan Preston - There are many good reasons not to observe the Christmas holiday. What are your personal ones, and can you prove them from the Bible?
By Joshua Vazquez - This message shares a personal experience as a teacher navigating the complexities of supporting students, particularly transgender students and the challenge of using preferred names and pronouns. Reflecting on the tendency to compromise personal beliefs out of fear of social repercussions, it
By Anthony Scott - This message investigates a few of the traditions of the Christmas story and what they have been twisted into. God wants us to worship Him the way He instructs from the Bible.
By Robert Gardenhire - We examine four incidents during the time of Jesus' birth which had to occur in temperate weather and not during the winter months of rain and cold. These common-sense scenarios preclude Jesus' birth being in the winter season but rather in the fall season.
By Lud Kiramidjian Jr - Speaker: Lud Kiramidjian Date: 12/13/25 After Paul had been arrested in Jerusalem, he was imprisoned in nearby Caesarea for two years. Because he had appealed his case to Caesar, he was sent to Rome (to eventually appear before the Emperor). This journey by Paul from Caesarea to Rome (recorded in
By David Chornomaz - The message discusses the United Church of God's stance on military service, emphasizing that Christians should prioritize obedience to God over government mandates, especially when it comes to participating in war or military drafts. Drawing from both Old and New Testament scriptures, the speaker
By Stephen de Campos - As the world celebrates the “most wonderful time of the year,” many faithful Christians tend to shrink back and lay low. But what if this were actually a time to stand out and shine God's light instead? In this message, we'll uncover the true origins of Christmas, ask how God really views it, and
By David R. Goethals - This message uses one of the greatest endurance walks in human history as a compelling lens to examine the far greater journey God has set before His people. It connects physical perseverance to spiritual faithfulness, showing that walking “worthy of the calling” is not about dramatic moments, but
By Ernest Grier - If we are not yielding to and utilizing the spirit of God dwelling in us, then we are putting ourselves in a dangerous place. The last thing we want to do is resist the holy spirit.
By Robin S Webber - One of the most vital and essential understandings in our personal Christian journey is discovered in the middle of Job. A verse that allows us to not only know our Redeemer, but grow within our Redeemer----knowing there is life beyond our human moments here and now, and beyond the grave. Job 19-23
By William Bradford - What we sow shapes what we reap: sowing to flesh brings corruption, but sowing to God's Spirit, kindness and gratitude yields peace, joy, and life.
By Kevin Call - In this sermon we will cover verses 1-20. We will then come back for Bible Study and cover verses 21-38.
By David W Hershberger - God often seems to choose people for His work who seem to be ill-suited for the task. This is a recurring pattern we encounter so often in Scripture, where God deliberately chooses the weak, the broken, and the unlikely for purposes that reshape the world, while supplying the very strength needed to
By Ben Light - The rhythm of the weekly and annual Sabbaths of God safeguard against human forgetfulness. They represent a sacred summons that is rooted in both creation and redemption. The contrast between “remembering” and “keeping” highlights the call to actively guard its holiness, protect it from encroachment
By David Rains - Does the bible tell us that we need to change? Is it okay to follow the world?
By Stephen Bouchette - When drips continue without treatment, great water damage can occur. We must treat it early, before such damage occurs. This applies to our spiritual life, also. It can apply to our relationships and our sins. We must be alert to that sound. How does the Bible instruct us to deal with these
By Craig Scott - Is faith a state of mind? Something that takes place only in your thoughts... If I have faith does God do anything... does He ever reach out to me with a sign? Some way to let me know its all real and that He is indeed working with me?
Pastors' Point of View Ep. 386 with Dr. Andy Woods “Prophecy Update”Topics covered:Global Religion BabylonPersecutionThe pieces are falling into place faster than most realize. While the world celebrates unity and progress, an ancient prophecy is unfolding before our eyes.Pope Leo XIV recently met with representatives from virtually every Christian denomination in Istanbul, pushing for complete religious unity by 2033. But this isn't about spreading the Gospel—it's about erasing biblical distinctives in the name of "witness." The same Vatican blessing borderless policies while living behind massive walls. The irony is staggering.Meanwhile, in Iraq, the Al-Fah Grand Port project just reached 100% completion. This massive canal system is transforming landlocked Babylon into the maritime economic powerhouse that Revelation 17-18 describes. For years, skeptics said Babylon couldn't be literal because it wasn't a port city. That argument just evaporated.And here at home? Pastors criminalized for holding church in public parks. Fire chiefs terminated for attending Christian leadership events. The Ten Commandments banned from Texas classrooms by unelected judges. The pressure cooker is heating up.Revelation 17:6 warned us about a religious system drunk with the blood of the saints. We're watching the stage being set for exactly that scenario.But here's the hope: Titus 2:13 promises we're "looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ." Before the wrath falls, we're going home.The question isn't IF these prophecies will be fulfilled. It's whether you're ready when they are.Are you watching? Are you ready?#Prophecy #EndTimes #Revelation17 #Babylon #BiblicalProphecy #Maranatha #WatchAndPray

This episode of Fed by the Fruit with KB takes you on a rich, Scripture-soaked journey through the life of Moses—from his miraculous rescue as a baby in Egypt to his leadership over millions of Israelites in the wilderness. KB walks through the major moments of Moses' story: his upbringing in Pharaoh's palace, his impulsive actions and flight to Midian, the burning bush encounter, the plagues, the Red Sea crossing, the giving of the Ten Commandments, and the establishment of the Old Covenant with God's people. You'll also learn how the tabernacle, sacrificial system, and the Day of Atonement all pointed forward to Jesus and the New Covenant.But this isn't just Bible history; it's deeply practical for your everyday walk with God. KB unpacks what Moses teaches us about waiting on God's timing instead of forcing our own, being faithful in the “valley” and the mundane, allowing God to shape our character in hidden seasons, and stepping out in courage when He calls—even after failure. You'll be reminded that God's ways and timing are better than ours, that His presence is what sets us apart, and that He is still writing redemption stories through imperfect people. If you're in a waiting season, wrestling with calling, or needing fresh encouragement to trust God, this Moses episode is for you.This episode serves as both an informative guide to embrace a healthier, more balanced lifestyle, encouraging listeners to embark on their journeys with renewed vigor and compassion.Reach out to KB on Instagram and share your thoughts.
