Her songs, such as Jolene, 9 to 5 and I Will Always Love You, crossed generations, borders and musical genres. We hear from the leader of Ladysmith Black Mambazo, the South African group who worked with Parton on Knockin' on Heaven's Door in 1995, and later collaborated on Peace Train, which appeared on her album, Treasures. And with Nigeria's elections being months away, can a new Muslim-Christian agreement help ease religious tensions?Presenter: Nkechi Ogbonna Producers: Keikantse Shumba, Carolyne Jotham, Chiamaka Dike and Blessing Aderogba Senior Producer: Charles Gitonga Technical Producer: David Nzau Editors: Daniel Dadzie and Maryam Abdalla

1 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes a glad father; but a foolish son brings grief to his mother. 2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, but righteousness delivers from death. 3 Yahweh will not allow the soul of the righteous to go hungry, but he thrusts away the desire of the wicked. 4 He becomes poor who works with a lazy hand, but the hand of the diligent brings wealth. 5 He who gathers in summer is a wise son, but he who sleeps during the harvest is a son who causes shame. 6 Blessings are on the head of the righteous, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked. 7 The memory of the righteous is blessed, but the name of the wicked will rot. 8 The wise in heart accept commandments, but a chattering fool will fall. 9 He who walks blamelessly walks surely, but he who perverts his ways will be found out. 10 One who winks with the eye causes sorrow, but a chattering fool will fall. 11 The mouth of the righteous is a spring of life, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked. 12 Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all wrongs. 13 Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has discernment, but a rod is for the back of him who is void of understanding. 14 Wise men lay up knowledge, but the mouth of the foolish is near ruin. 15 The rich man's wealth is his strong city. The destruction of the poor is their poverty. 16 The labor of the righteous leads to life. The increase of the wicked leads to sin. 17 He is in the way of life who heeds correction, but he who forsakes reproof leads others astray. 18 He who hides hatred has lying lips. He who utters a slander is a fool. 19 In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience, but he who restrains his lips does wisely. 20 The tongue of the righteous is like choice silver. The heart of the wicked is of little worth. 21 The lips of the righteous feed many, but the foolish die for lack of understanding. 22 Yahweh's blessing brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it. 23 It is a fool's pleasure to do wickedness, but wisdom is a man of understanding's pleasure. 24 What the wicked fear will overtake them, but the desire of the righteous will be granted. 25 When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more; but the righteous stand firm forever. 26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to those who send him. 27 The fear of Yahweh prolongs days, but the years of the wicked shall be shortened. 28 The prospect of the righteous is joy, but the hope of the wicked will perish. 29 The way of Yahweh is a stronghold to the upright, but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity. 30 The righteous will never be removed, but the wicked will not dwell in the land. 31 The mouth of the righteous produces wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be cut off. 32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable, but the mouth of the wicked is perverse.

Fr. Jeremiah Caughran Little to Give, Greatly to be Used, Matthew 14.13-21 Download After Jesus has spent all day healing and teaching a multitude, the disciples point out that they people should be sent away to find food. But Jesus tells them to feed the crowds. The disciples only have 5 loaves and 2 fish. What will happen? Jesus takes their little and makes it a great amount to bless and satisfy the hungry crowds!In our lives, the little that we have from ourselves can be taken by Jesus and be made a blessing for many others beyond what we think can happen.Image: Christ Feeding the Multitude, from Treasures of the Bible by Henry Davenport Northrop, pg 404, published in 1894.

Kingdom work wasn't going to be easy. It would have its rewards obviously, but it would also have many disappointments and heartaches. Jesus was not only teaching this to His disciples, but to the multitudes who came with their own misconceptions about the kingdom.

July 29, 2026 In this week's podcast, Mike Hanafee and Randy discuss the danger of "if onlys" in our christian walk and how Jesus plays a major role in our assurance of nothing separating us from the love of God

Small Things, Big Impact: Big Treasures Start Small | Rev. Kevin Johnson | North Raleigh UMCWhat if the things we overlook as small, ordinary, or insignificant are actually where God is at work?In this sermon from the Small Things, Big Impact series, Rev. Kevin Johnson explores Jesus' parables in Matthew 13: the mustard seed, the yeast, the hidden treasure, the pearl, and the net. Through these surprising stories, Jesus invites us to see the world differently—to recognize that God's realm is already at work among us, often in unexpected and seemingly insignificant places.The Kingdom of God doesn't always arrive in the ways we expect. It can begin small, grow quietly, surprise us, and challenge the boundaries and assumptions we hold tightly. And when we begin to see it, we may discover that what once seemed small is actually a treasure worth everything.Kevin invites us to consider what it means to surrender to God's work and to respond not by trying to accomplish something extraordinary, but by asking a simple question: What is one small thing God is calling me to do?Maybe it's praying for someone, reaching out to a friend, changing one habit, serving a particular community, or simply opening ourselves more fully to God.At North Raleigh United Methodist Church, our purpose is to be a church where you can belong just as you are, become like Jesus, and be love for God's world. This sermon invites us to consider how even the smallest steps of faith can help us live more fully into that calling.Scripture: Matthew 13:31–33, 44–52Psalter: Psalm 105:1–11, 45bPreacher: Rev.

Children expect wonder -- and that can be an example for adult believers as well! Scripture: Matthew 13:31-33, 44-52

In this sermon for Rev. James Douthwaite explores three parables: the treasure hidden in a field, the pearl of great price, and the net. He emphasizes that while the world may see some as 'junk' or insignificant, God views each person as a priceless treasure, worth the life of His own Son. The sermon encourages a change of heart—from questioning to repenting and rejoicing—and invites listeners to live confidently as 'more than conquerors' through Christ, seeing others as God sees them: as treasures and children of God.

His parents moved north to the Bay Area and he attended K – 12 in several schools in different cities around the Bay. This laid the foundation of his outlook on life. After graduating from Clayton Valley High School in Concord California he joined the U. S. Air force. After basic training in Lackland AFB in San Antonio TX, he was sent to Germany in Oct 1965. Life in Europe appealed to him and he stayed in Germany for 40 years and finally returned to the United States in Feb 2006. Luckily, he was sent back to San Antonio TX where he works for the Government at Fort Sam Houston. Bruce started writing when he was still in high school but never published. In Nov 1999 he was involved in a near-fatal car accident and woke up in the ICU a few days before Christmas. He felt inspired to write a story to send to his friends as a special Christmas gift. His love of writing has spurred him on the expand his story tellin to include romance/drama. “Lovers by the Lake is a romance between two “Baby Boomers” and how their lives were shaped by the events of the time. Bruce is now working on a series. “Dark Dig” and “Convalited Conswcidences” are the first in that series.

The one thing everyone knows about modeling is that they want you to be tall. Nancy Brensson, one of the cover models for December's reader-produced issue, thinks she should still give it a shot at 5'6". How does it go? Spoiler: pretty much how you'd expect. (Sorry!) Height does keep coming up, though, from 5'11" Janet in an all-Sassy fashion/beauty staff editorial spread to a 5'1" Zits And Stuff letter writer/aspiring basketball player who wants to increase her vertical jump. Milla Jovovich presumably feels safe talking shit about Christina since at 5'9" Milla probably towers over her.

Be Still & Be Loved is a guided Scripture meditation designed to help you slow down, quiet your mind, and rest in God's presence. Whether you're beginning your day, taking a midday pause, or preparing for sleep, this space invites you to breathe deeply and receive His peace. Take a few moments to settle into a comfortable position. If you're able, lie down. If not, find a seat where you can rest without distraction. As you begin to notice your breath, pay attention to how your state of being starts to shift. Every inhale and exhale is a reminder that God is near, holding you with His steady love. In this guided meditation, you'll reflect on 2 Corinthians 4:7: "But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us." Though our bodies are fragile, they carry something infinitely valuable—God's presence. He is our greatest treasure, and He treasures every part of us, including our minds. Together we'll quiet the noise, fix our thoughts on what is excellent, noble, and true, and rest in the One who is making us new—body, mind, and spirit. Breathe deeply. You are held. You are loved. You are His treasure. Ready to Go Deeper?

Every few weeks, hosts Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot are bursting at the seams with new underground music to recommend—it's time for another round of Buried Treasures. The hosts share a handful of tracks, and the production team chimes in as well.Join our Facebook Group: https://bit.ly/3sivr9TBecome a member on Patreon: https://bit.ly/3slWZvcSign up for our newsletter: https://bit.ly/4frcVZoMake a donation via PayPal: https://bit.ly/3dmt9lUSend us a Voice Memo: Desktop: bit.ly/2RyD5Ah Mobile: sayhi.chat/soundopsFeatured Songs:Normans, "Mexico Unlimited," Faust Demonica, Solid Brass, 2026The Beatles, "With A Little Help From My Friends," Sgt.
