Isaiah 53 is one of the most important chapters in the entire Bible! This astounding passage prophesizes the death of Christ 700 years before He even lived! This amazing chapter shows how the King would die on behalf of His people so that they (and us) might be part of His eternal kingdom. Join us as we study this key chapter in God's Word! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    Isaiah 53 is one of the most important and well-known chapters in the entire Old Testament. Prior to this study, what is your familiarity with this chapter and why would you have said it was so important for Christians to know and understand?  2.    The podcast mentioned that background leading up to this chapter included the unfolding promise of the New Covenant that would be made with and through the Servant. This covenant will be a NEW covenant (Is 42 & 49) where God's people will enter a NEW Kingdom (Isaiah 2 & 25) with a NEW King (Isaiah 7, 9, 11, et.al.) as the NEW Israel (Isaiah 49:3). Why is this background vital to understanding the profound depth of Isaiah 53 and the offering of the Suffering Servant King for our sins?  3.    The podcast mentioned that there were three “servants” mentioned in the Book of Isaiah. Who were they? Which servant is being spoken of here in Isaiah 53?  4.    How is the Messiah-Servant-King described in verses 2 and 3? Why would this be a surprise to God's people? Would you have difficulty believing in a Messianic King who looked like this?  5.    What happens to the Messiah-King in verses 5, 7 and 9? How does verses 6 and 8 explain why He would experience such suffering?  6.    According to verse 10, who was the ultimate source of the suffering of the Servant? Why is that important for us to know?  7.    Verse 10 also says that the Suffering Servant would offer Himself as a “guilt offering”. The podcast mentioned that the guilt offering was taught in Levititus where the person paid 1/5 more in restitution for the damages of their sin. Think about our sin before God; we have an infinite debt before God, what is 1/5 of infinity? Why is our debt to God literally impossible to repay? Why did we need an eternal king to pay our eternal debt, plus 1/5, for us?  8.    According to verse 11, how did the Father view the guilt offering of the Suffering Servant? Who will be justified by this offering? What does it even mean to be justified? What does it mean for YOU to be justified?  9.    When did you first look to Jesus as your guilt offering payment to God? How has that realization impacted your relationship with God, the world and His work in your life?  10.    If a person will not trust in Jesus' guilt offering payment for their sins, what is the reality of their relationship with God now and for eternity?  Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis!

Mark Winner discusses Hebrews 13:8—“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”

 Psa 9:4  For You have maintained my just cause; You have sat on the throne judging righteously.

God is faithful to His people, even when they have been unfaithful to Him. We'll see this truth in today's study in Isaiah 50 as we study an amazing prophecy of Jesus which proves, not only that He is the promised king, but that He would also suffer for His people and won't divorce them even though they have been unfaithful to their covenant with Him. Join us today in our study in Isaiah 50!  DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    The overarching theme of Isaiah 49-57 is that of the “Suffering Servant”. Think back to our study, yesterday, in Isaiah 49. What were some ways that Isaiah 49 prophesied that the Servant would suffer for His people?  2.    Read Isaiah 50:1. What is the item that the Lord is asking about? What is His point in asking for this? What did the Lord tell Israel in Jeremiah 3:8? How did the podcast explain the juxtaposition of Isaiah 50:1 and Jeremiah 3:8? 3.    In verses 2 & 3, could the Lord carry out the salvation of His people? If so, why “was there no man when...” the Lord came to His people? What does that phrase even mean? Why was there no one to obey the Lord? 4.    In verse 4, once again the Servant is speaking (we know this because the word “GOD” is in all caps, indicating that “GOD” was the Lord and now His servant is speaking). What is the Servant's message for His people in verses 4 & 5? Why do you think He won't “turn back”? How was this evident throughout Jesus' ministry? How is this different from the lack of obedience in the people in verses 2 &3? 5.    What was the Servant's obedience to the Lord in verses 5 &6? What was the price of Jesus' obedience to the Father? How was this obedience demonstrated in Jesus' earthly life? What cost was there in Jesus' obedience? 6.    Read over verses 7-9, how do these verses portray the trust that the Servant has for the Lord? What kind of resolve does this trust strengthen Him with? Read 1st Peter 2:23. How did Peter portray Jesus' trust in the Father? Why is it hard to trust the Father like this, when life doesn't seem to go our way? 7.     Verse 10 calls out to the people to join with the Servant. What should those who walk in darkness do? What does it mean to call upon the Lord? How does Romans 10:13 echo a similar exhortation?  8.    In verse 11, how is a person making their own fire an analogy for manmade religion? In our day and age, how do people seek to provide their own “light”? In verse 11, what is the ultimate fate of those who will not leave their manmade religion and obey the Lord? What torment do you think is being spoken of here? 9.    Think about how you respond to God's message. Are these just words on a paper? Are these just theological ideas to know? Or are these words God's message to you to gather to Him, with His people, that you might be numbered among those in His kingdom?  Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis!

Verse by verse study through the book of Acts Chapter One and Verse Sixteen

Psa 9:3  When my enemies turn back, They stumble and perish before You.

There's a ton of debate in theological circles about whether or not God has forsaken Israel. Today we're looking at Isaiah 49 where we'll see that God will continue to be faithful to the people of Israel and His covenant with them. Likewise, we'll see that even the Gentile believers will have a role in God's plan of redemption for His people. Join us in this key study in this key chapter!  DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    Have you ever felt as though you disappointed someone? How did it feel? How do you think the faithful remnant of Israel would have felt knowing that they had disappointed the Lord? 2.    The podcast mentioned that Isaiah 49 contains the second “Servant Song” in the Book of Isaiah (the others are Isaiah 42, 50 and 52-3). What is a “Servant Song”? Who are these referring to? Why do we need to know that these passages are unique in the Book of Isaiah? 3.   The background to Isaiah 49 is that the people have broken their covenant with God. Think back to our previous studies in this book. How has Isaiah shown the people that they have broken their covenant? 4.   In verse 1, who is speaking? Quickly skim this chapter with this “speaker” in mind. How does the fact that this is the Servant speaking help us understand the heart of this chapter? 5.   The opening verses of Isaiah 49 let us know that the Servant is a specific individual. What do these first few verses tell us about Him? 6.   The podcast mentioned that in verse 3, the Servant is the “New Israel”. How does this give us a window into Jesus' preincarnate work among His people (in verse 4)? 7.   According to verse 5, who (or what people) comprise this “New Israel”? In verse 6, who is also included in this new nation? In verse 6, why would it be too small for the New Israel to be limited to just Israel and Judah? 8.   Verse 7 describes the Servant as one who is despised and abhorred by his own nation. How was this fulfilled in Jesus' earthy life? Verse 7 also says that the kings of the world will come to Him. How has that borne out to be true throughout history? 9.   In verse 8, the Lord gives the Servant as a covenant for the people. Think back to our study of Isaiah 42. What covenant would this be? Glance over at Matthew 26:28. How did Jesus inaugurate the covenant? 10.  Read over verses 9 to 13. What are some ways that this new nation or kingdom is described? Is this a place you would want to live? Do we see these kinds of promises in our world today? When will they be fully instituted? 11.  In verse 14, why would the people be afraid that the Lord has forsaken them? What is the Lord's response in verses 15 & 16? How do these words of encouragement show God's love for His people? How did Jesus fulfill these statements in His own ministry to His people? 12.  What does the Lord promise to do for the people in verses 18-23? How are they exalted in the world? How are these promises reaffirmed in other places in scripture? 13.  What kind of protection does the Lord promise for His people in verses 24-26? How does this remind us to keep praying for God's people? How often do you pray for Israel? How often do you pray for Christians around the world? 14.  As you think over the principles from Isaiah 49, how does this chapter help us see that God has not forgotten or forsaken His people and His covenants with them? Yet also, what role will they have in the New Israel when it is finally and fully established? Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis! Available on Amazon!

Daily Dose of Hope June 19, 2025   Scripture – Matthew 14   Prayer:  Abba Father, We come to you today in awe of your love for us.  Thank you, Lord, for your sacrifice.  Thank you for sitting high and looking low.  We give you all the glory and praise, Lord Jesus.  Help us to be less selfish and more like you.  On our own, we mess it up.  We need you, Jesus.  We need you minute by minute.  Guide our thoughts today, Lord.  Guide our words and guide our actions.  May we look more like you today, Lord, than we did yesterday.  In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome back, everyone, to the Daily Dose of Hope, a Deep Dive into the Gospels and Acts.  Today, we are diving into Matthew 14.  We start with the murder of John the Baptist.  We read about this in Mark as well.  Herod was an evil guy.  We can see there is little value placed on human life in the Roman Empire. Herod is far more concerned about how he looks in front of his guests than how he looks in front of God.  Then, we have the feeding of the 5,000.  This miracle is in all four Gospels so we need to lean in and really pay attention here.  After Jesus heard about his cousin John being killed, he decided to get away.  You can't blame him; I'm sure he needed time to grieve and he just needed some solitude.  But the crowds followed him.  You would think he might get annoyed but he doesn't. Verse 14 says, When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick. Jesus really doesn't miss a beat.  No matter how physically tired he is, he keeps taking care of the people, giving them what he knows they need.  Some people today might suggest that Jesus had poor boundaries.  He could have said, “You guys, we really need a break.  I'm off today.”  But that isn't what he did.  He had compassion on the people.  He tolerated and even welcomed interruptions.  He would frequently be planning to do this one thing but pulled away in a different direction.  But it was in those interruptions, those distractions that Jesus did amazing work, that we get to see God at work in amazing, miraculous ways.  He heals the woman who had been bleeding for many years because she “interrupts” him on his way to the Roman official's home.  Think of the man whose friends created a hole in the roof to lower their friend in front of Jesus and “interrupt” his teaching.  He was interrupted by a demon-possessed man at the synagogue and he heals him.  I counted something like 35 “interruptions” and it was in those interruptions that Jesus healed, taught, loved, and demonstrated God's glory.  Back to the miracle. There were roughly 5000 men there, which doesn't include the women and children because at that time, women and children would not be in the official count.  So we are talking probably 10-15,000 people being present.  When the disciples wanted to send the people away, they were simply being practical, right?  They were on the outskirts of Bethsaida, and the closest village would have been a several hour walk.  It makes sense that they would immediately think to send them away.  And they were tired.  And they were probably a bit annoyed and wanted them to just go away.  But that isn't what Jesus decided to do.  Jesus tells the disciples “You give them something to eat.”  This is so interesting to me because Jesus is putting the responsibility on the disciples to solve the problem.  You do it.  In Mark, the disciples complain “but that would take half a year's wages to feed all these people.”  So Jesus talks them through it.  What do you have?  Well, we have five loaves of bread and two fish.  Jesus takes the food multiplies it.  I often wonder if Jesus knew he was going to do this all along or it just kind of happened in the moment.  Exactly how it happened, we don't know.  What we know is that it happened.  Jesus took a little and turned it into a lot.  In that moment, we see God's Kingdom in all it's fullness.  In God's Kingdom, there is no sickness so Jesus healed.  In God's Kingdom, there is no hunger so Jesus fed.  Most of us are pretty well fed but that was not the norm in first century Palestine.  People did not get enough to eat.  Those 10-15K people that Jesus was caring for in Bethsaida, these were peasants.  They were hungry people.  The social structures of the day ensured that these people were always a little hungry, always a little desperate.  That way the Roman government could stay in control.  It was quite effective. But Jesus was demonstrating a different way of life, one in which “God” is on the throne, one in which all people are valued and cared for and fed.  I love that line in verse 20, “they all ate and were satisfied.”  That would have been very unusual for that group of people, to eat and be satisfied.  And there were 12 baskets left over, a basket for each disciple to carry.  I wonder if Jesus did that so that as they were carrying these baskets home, they would continually be reminded that God is so much bigger than they ever could imagine, that Jesus will find a way no matter how impossible the situation might seem.  Jesus can take five loaves of bread and two fish and feed 15,000 people.  He can defy the laws of nature.  I mean, he created the laws of nature.  I'm not sure how many of you are currently dealing with something that seems impossible, that seems like there is no solution – a health crisis, a broken relationship, a financial mess.  If you hear nothing else today, I want you to hear that NOTHING, no problem, is too big for our God.  God can and will make a way but we have to release it to him.  We have to allow him to take care of it the way he sees fit.  It might not be, it probably won't be, the way we would do it.  But there is always a way.  Finally, the chapter closes with Jesus walking on water and this fascinating interaction with Peter.  Jesus had been off praying, as he was apt to do, and he goes to find the disciples. They see him walking on water and at first, think he is a ghost. Peter, in his normal partly bold, partly impulsive way, asks Jesus if he can walk on the water too. Specifically, he says, “Lord, if it is you, tell me to come to you on the water.” So Jesus says to come and Peter steps out on the water. Can you even imagine what must have been going through Peter's head at the time? For a while, Peter does fine. He is actually walking on water. But as soon as he takes his eyes off Jesus, he sinks. Think about that–the very minute he looks away, gets distracted, and begins to doubt–he starts to sink. Think about your own life. How often have you taken your eyes off Jesus and begun to sink? The author of Hebrews tells us in chapter 12 to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith. When we keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, we have confidence that we aren't alone, that God is present, and that there is a purpose to all of this. The very minute we begin to look away, the sinking begins. We become stalled. We falter. We forget who and whose we are.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

The first portion commences"In the days when the judges ruled". The book sets the times, as paralleling the time of the second appendix to Judges 19-21, and is as vital in preparing us for David's kingship as the end of the last book was in establishing Saul's origins. Even the locality is the same in Bethlehem/Judah(' the house of bread and praise'). We are told that there was literally a famine in the land at that time, undoubtedly spiritual as well as literal; a scarcity of the word of God. Ironically the man Elimelech('my God is king'), representing what the nation should have known; yet living as though there was no king and doing what was right in their own eyes; believing sustenance could be found apart from the people of God, left for Moab. The two sons marry non-covenanted wives and die (their names also emblematic of their unfaithfulness - sickly and pining). Death overtakes them leaving faithful Naomi heirless. On hearing that "God had visited His people with bread" the three women commence the homeward journey. Orpah stays in Moab, but Ruth passionately and imploringly pleads her loyalty to Israel's God (1 verses 16-17). They arrive home at Passover- the time of the barley harvest.Chapter 2, introduces us to faithful Boaz whose description matches that of Gideon in Judges 6. Providentially he extends to Ruth the care and compassion of the Creator to strangers and widows. She is blessed bountifully and we await developments in the unfolding story. We are impressed by the Godly environment that Boaz has created for his workers despite the deplorable spiritual conditions which prevailed throughout the nation.Isaiah 44 announces the superabundance of blessings that God will bestow upon children responding to His gracious pleas. Verses 1-5 speak of the blessings Yahweh will give to Israel, His chosen people. Verse 5 tells of the time when their Sovereign's children identify with Him by surnaming themselves as the people of the God of Jacob. This theme is picked up in the Servant prophecies in chapter 65:15-19. In Isaiah 44:6-8 Yahweh declares that He alone is God and Israel's Saviour. That understanding is the reason that His people in verse 5 now choose to be known as the people of the God of Israel. Verses 9-20 contrast the Omnipotent Creator to dumb, useless, impotent idols. There is wonderful irony in the way that the prophet ridicules the idols and their makers. The fashioner of the graven image wearies himself in the task of making his image and uses a part of the same tree to warm himself and bake his bread. What complete folly there is in the idolater's failure to see the stupidity of idols and those that form them. Verses 21-25 tell us what the LORD was about to do in saving His people. Verses 26-28 reveal the work of Cyrus the Persian as the man chosen by Yahweh to overthrow Babylon. He would also decree liberty for the captives and send exiled Israel home to rebuild Jerusalem. This prophecy was made about one and a half centuries before Cyrus accomplished this great work of the LORD.. Cyrus' name is symbolic of his typical role, as the Lord Jesus Christ, meaning "one like the heir".

It's a rare curriculum book that inspires NO negative comments. Ever. To hear, month after month, year after year, that a certain book turns kids into readers, ignites interest and discussion in class, hooks unengaged students like nothing else has.  Long Way Down is one such book. It's a fast read, a novel-in-verse, by the former U.S. Ambassador for Youth Literature, Jason Reynolds. In my opinion it's perfect for 9th and 10th graders, but really, there's a lot there for students of any age. It tells the tale of Will Holloman, a teenager trapped in a cycle of violence by “The Rules” of his neighborhood - No Crying, No Snitching, Get Revenge. He's watched every man in his life fall to gun violence because of the rules, and now that his brother has been killed, the rules are set to snare him. Until he steps onto a very unexpected elevator ride. In today's episode of “Plan My Lesson,” we'll be planning a class period focused on the dialogue between Long Way Down, the novel-in-verse, and Long Way Down, the graphic novel. This week's request comes from an educator teaching a new graphic narratives course - which, by the way, sounds amazing. She'd like help crafting a lesson that guides students in comparing the two texts side-by-side, so that's what we're going to do! Whether you teach a version of Long Way Down,  a different text that's been translated into a graphic novel, any other graphic novel, or even none of the above, I think you'll find new ideas for your lesson planning today. After we walk through the lesson itself, we'll be talking about helpful takeaways from designing THIS lesson that you can apply to designing ANY lesson, so be sure to stay tuned to the end.

[Verse 1]  At first, we felt a chill, just a cough, a little sweat  Then came the news from overseas—it ain't over yet  From the jungle to the airwaves, it flew fast and flew unseen  One scratch from Betsy, now this town's a quarantine [Verse 2]  We wore our masks, we sealed our suits  Still the sirens howled, the threat was absolute  They said “Control the panic,” but we knew it wasn't true  When your generals are hiding truths, what's a virologist to do? [Chorus]  We won't die, not today  Though McClintock's bombs are coming, we still found another way  We tracked that monkey through the trees, we hit the skies, we found a cure  Now this town will stand, and science will endure [Verse 3]  Jimbo touched that monkey, which grayed out his anatomy   You can call him McDreamy, but his guts turned creamy   Made out with his girlfriend and his luck ran dry First on the slab, and the first to die  [Bridge]  And Robby held on strong, though her hands began to shake  Her life on the line, with every move she'd make  But with serum in the needle and a second left to spare  She took the cure and breathed again, fresh hope in the air [Chorus]  We won't die, no, not this time  Though fear spread fast and high command tried to cross the line  They said “nuke it from orbit,” we said “That's insane!”  So we flew between the bombs and saved the town from flame Cedar Creek still breathes…  And we—we won't die

Psa 9:1  For the choir director; on Muth-labben. A Psalm of David. I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart; I will tell of all Your wonders.Psa 9:2  I will be glad and exult in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.

Getting "passed over" by the Lord is not a good thing, especially when we're talking God returning His people back to the Promised Land. Today we study Isaiah 48 and see how God warned His people about the coming judgment and confirmed His message through prophecy, but they still would not listen. Yet, He still has a plan for them that results in greater glory to Himself. Join us for another soul-nourishing study in the Book of Isaiah! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    The recipients of the message of Isaiah 48 shifts from prophetically addressing the exiles and returns to focus on the contemporaries of the prophet Isaiah. Thinking back to our previous studies in the book of Isaiah, what was the spiritual condition of Judah at this time? 2.    Read over verses 1 & 2 and look for the irony that they contain. Why does the Lord focus on the “name” and “origin” and “invocations” of these people? Although they did these things outwardly, was it sincere? How might a church today have the right name and doctrine but be insincere in its worship? Why is insincere worship of the Lord met with His disapproval? 3.    In verses 3 & 4, how did the people respond to the Lord's Word? Why do you think they had come to respond like this? 4.    According to verse 5, why was the Lord so clear in His prophecies? What was He trying to show the people? Were they likely to receive His message?  5.    In verses 6 to 11, why does the Lord act? What was He doing among the people? For what purpose?  6.    In verse 9, why does the Lord withhold His wrath? Does this surprise you?  7.    In verse 11, what does the Lord seek? Why is it best for Him to seek this? How should this be our life goal as well?  8.    Verses 12 & 13 present a high view of God. What do the people need to know about God? Why? Do you believe these truths about Him? If so, how have they changed how you view yourself and the purpose of your life?  9.    Verse 14 gives another prophecy regarding Babylon. What does the Lord say He will do? What was it, about Babylon, that would have made this promise difficult to believe?  10.    How is the Trinity evident in verse 16? What does this tell us about the united nature of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit? How does this show their distinct personhood?  11.    In verse 22, what peace is Isaiah talking about here? Why is it withheld from the wicked?  12.    The podcast ended with several questions. Are you easy to teach? (Why or why not?) Do you embrace what your learning? When God is trying to teach you something, do you resist it? Or do you purse learning what He would have you do know?   Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis!

One of the most common and most difficult questions people ask is, "Why?" They're wondering things like, "Why did some event happen?" While we won't fully understand all the answers to those questions until we're with the Lord, today's study in Isaiah 45 begins to show us some reasons for "Why?" Isaiah 45 is one of my favorite chapters on the Bible and I believe it will help us understand more of what the Lord is doing in our lives, and why. Join us! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    When you're facing life's difficulties, how frequently do you ask the question, “Why did God allow this”? What does this question tend to represent?  2.    Isaiah 45 begins with a key prophecy about Cyrus. Who was Cyrus? When Isaiah wrote this prophecy around 712 BC, how many years (or centuries) before Cyrus was this prophecy written? According to Josephus (as mentioned in the podcast), what impact did this prophecy have on Cyrus' life? How does this prophecy deepen your trust that the Bible is the Word of God?  3.    Verse 1 calls Cyrus the Lord's anointed. What does it mean to be the Lord's anointed?  4.    Look over the following verses, what would Cyrus accomplish? a.    Verse 1:  b.    Verse 3: c.    Verse 13: d.    Verse 14:  5.    Skipping down to verse 19, what does the Lord mean by saying “I have not spoken in secret, in some dark land?” How is the Word of God a clear light to the nations?  6.    In verses 20 to 25, what is scene that the Lord is summoning the nations to?  7.    What does He tell them to do in verse 21? Why are they to consult together? 8.    In verse 21, why is it important for us to know that God is righteous?  9.    What is the outcome of this courtroom scene in verse 23? What will the people's response be? Why? 10.    What will the nations conclude in verse 24? Why is this helpful for us to know when we want to know the answer to “why” God has allowed some things to happen?  11.    What does verse 24 mean when it says that the nations will be put to shame? Why were they angry at first? Why did their anger convert to shame? What does this tell us about the Lord's righteousness?  12.    In verse 25, how will the Lord be justified? How will He be glorified?  13.    When you're facing life's difficulties, how frequently do you ask the question, “Why did God allow this”? What does this question tend to represent? What will all the nations finally conclude in these verses?  Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis! Available on Amazon!

Verse by verse study through the book of Acts Chapter One and Verse Thirteen

How ironic that the unity which was lacking at the start of Judges is now evident for retribution. Verse 1 "all Israel... as one man... from Dan to Beersheba came together to destroy their brothers - 400,000 of them. On hearing the Levite's report vengeance is agreed upon. In v11, for emphasis, we have repeated "all Israel... as one man". The Benjamites, likewise, gather unitedly to fight for undeserving reprobates in a forlorn hope. The record adds, with a measure of sadness, that 700 from the tribe meaning 'son of the right hand' were left-handed ie untrue to what should be expected from them. These Benjamanites were so accurate in using their slingshots that the description was that they could hit a target of a hair's' breadth - the expression "not miss" means in the Hebrew to 'not sin' (sin is 'a missing of the mark'; we aim for perfection but we all fall short of this: see Romans 3 verse 23). The chapter concludes with the near extinction of the tribe of Benjamin - but 600 only surviving.

In this opening episode of the Summer Q&A Series, Nicole addresses one of the most heartfelt and relatable spiritual struggles: “What do I do when I can’t hear God’s voice?” Drawing from James 1:2–8, Nicole unpacks why God may feel silent in seasons of confusion or pain—and how that silence could actually be an invitation. With compassionate insight and biblical depth, she offers listeners practical wisdom for enduring trials, examining their hearts, and pressing deeper into God’s promises. This is a powerful episode for anyone feeling stuck, discouraged, or distant from God. Main Takeaways You’re Not Alone in the Silence: Even faithful believers experience seasons of unanswered questions or silence from God. James 1 Offers a Roadmap: Troubles are opportunities for growth, not obstacles to joy. When we ask for wisdom, God will give it—but we must ask with faith and undivided loyalty. Mixed Motives Can Muffle God’s Voice: Sometimes our desires are entangled with fear, selfishness, or cultural pressure. Regular self-examination can purify our requests. Endurance Builds Spiritual Maturity: The waiting seasons are formative. Joy, wisdom, and clarity come with time and perseverance. God’s Promises are Steady Anchors: Holding tight to the truths of Scripture can help steady your faith during spiritually dry times. For Further Bible Study: Bible Verse References James 1:2–8 – Consider trials as joy and ask for wisdom with faith Jeremiah 29:13 – “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Matthew 11:28 – “Come to me, all who are weary and burdened…” John 10:10 – “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” John 14:6 – “I am the way and the truth and the life…” John 16:33 – “In this world you will have trouble.

A lot of what goes into winning a football game is behind the scenes. Oh, we see all the plays and all the action, and all the heroics on the field. But a lot goes on we never see. Let's take our local high school football team that I worked with for example. Each week someone from the coaching staff was out scouting the other team during the season. And sometimes I'd show up at the locker room and I'd ask, "Well, what are we up against this week? Tell me about the team we're playing this coming weekend." Almost always I'd get a rundown on what that team was good at, who their high scorer was, and what we would have to do to contain them, where their weaknesses were, and what we needed to go after. See, those scouting reports helped our coaches know how to best play that other team. Now, unfortunately, a lot of us are playing as if we haven't heard the scouting report on the other team. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "How Satan Plans to Stop You." Now, our word for today from the Word of God comes from Revelation 12. I'll begin at verse 12: "Woe to the earth! The Devil has gone down to you. He is filled with fury because he knows the time is short." Verse 17 says, "The dragon (that's the Devil) went off to make war." Now, the book of Revelation talks about the Devil seeing time run out on the game clock. I call it panic in hell. He says, "Wow! There's not much time left." He accelerates his attacks, and I believe he's doing that now because I don't think he has much time left. You're probably on the receiving end of one of these attacks. If you're going to understand what's going on in your life; if you're going to respond in a winning way, you need to hear the scouting report. Here's attack number one: the Devil is trying to distract unbelievers so they won't look at Jesus. 2 Corinthians 4:4 talks about "the god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so they cannot see the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ." See, if you don't know Jesus, the Devil does this to keep you in his grasp; he does this blinding thing. He's got you too busy impressing other people, or busy building a career, or a family, or studying, or having a good time; believing almost anything spiritual other than being rescued through Jesus. But the longer you wait, the harder it will be for you to ever know Christ. Your heart's getting harder. The Devil wants to distract you so you will never really see Jesus. Attack number two is to dissuade young believers so they won't live for Jesus. That's talked about in Mark 4:15, "As soon as they hear the Word, Satan comes and takes away the Word that was sown in them." See, if you're a young believer, the Devil's attack as he's feeling his panic in hell, is to get your eyes off of this new Savior before you become a threat; to put in front of you whatever could detour you: a girlfriend, a boyfriend, a job, a temptation, popularity. Do you see what the Devil's trying to do? Don't fall for this! Don't let him draw you away from the person you've spent your whole life looking for, your Jesus. And then his third attack is to discourage God's warriors so they won't lead for Jesus. These are the people who are making a difference. Maybe you're one of those. 1 Peter 5:7 addressed to spiritual leaders says, "Cast all your care on Him, because He cares for you. The Devil goes about like a lion seeking whom he may devour." See, I think he tries to devour them with discouragement. Maybe he's trying to neutralize you because you're one of the few people who's really in the battle. He's using people; he's using circumstances to destroy your motivation and your effectiveness. Listen to Galatians 6:9, "Don't be weary in well doing, for in due time you will reap if you do not faint." See, the Devil is luring you, he's desperately doing whatever it takes to pull you away from Jesus; to get your focus somewhere else because he can't beat Him. But if you fight back in Jesus' name, you'll be causing even more panic in hell.

Erik Jones discusses Romans 8:7—“Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.”

We've all chased the “bucket list” shot—the iconic scenes everyone wants. But is that really where creativity lives? In this episode, I talk about letting go of trophy hunting and leaning into personal expression, being present, and making images that reflect how you see the world.

Psa 8:2  From the mouth of infants and nursing babes You have established strength Because of Your adversaries, To make the enemy and the revengeful cease.

Send us a textWe all know the story when Daniel and his friends reject the king's food.  But do you understand what was going on before that?  Have you thought about what life would have been like to be taken captive and thrown in with so many others from foreign lands?  Where did Daniel and his friends get their courage and strength to go against their Babylonian training?Bryan leaves us with a question to ponder at the end of the episode.  Verse 9 says God showed favor to Daniel when the guard denied their request.  How is that God's favor?  You'll have to listen to the next episode to find out. Bryan VanHaitsma is the digital media director for Revive Our Hearts.  He studied at Hope College in Michigan and Jerusalem University College in Israel.  He has a passion for digging into Scriptures that we often find perplexing, helping us understand why that story might be included, and what we are supposed to do in light of that story.Our website - www.thecontextandcolorofthebible.comWe are on Facebook - The Context and Color of the Bible | FacebookWe are on Instagram - @contextandcolorofthebibleWe are on YouTube - The Context and Color of the Bible - YouTubeWe are on Pinterest - The Context and Color of the BibleMusic: Tabuk by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4453-tabukLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Verse by verse study through the book of Acts Chapter One and Verse Twelve

One of the most common objections we get from dispensationalists is that we do not know how to “rightly divide the Word of Truth”, which is taken from II Timothy 2:15. Based on the dispensational view popularized by Scofield, Larkin, Ryrie, and others, this verse is a foundational hermeneutical passage instructing the church that God's word must be broken into divisions so that it can be properly understood. But not only is the dispensational view of this verse incorrect, it also goes against the hermeneutical and doctrinal thrust of all of Scripture, which instead of teaching division, teaches that Christ's purpose was to bring unity.In this episode, we examine II Timothy 2:15 in light of a broader view of God's Word. We look at many passages where scripture teaches that Christ came to reconcile man to God, to unify the Jews and the Gentiles, and to restore God's creation. We look at the dispensational insistence that the church and Israel must be forever separated from one another, and explain why Scripture teaches this is not true. God did divorce the physical nation of Israel, and to the extent that it continues in the world, it is an example of what happens to those who reject Him. But the Israel that is made up of those Old and New Testament saints that are the children of Abraham by faith, is reckoned in the Son of David, the risen Christ, the True Israel, and regardless of their earthly heritage, all those who believer are made one in Christ and are partakers of the promises. Please join us as we discuss this often mishandled verse of scripture.Listen to the audio version here: Thumbnail image by Rod Ramsey under CC-BY 2.0Timecodes00:00:00 What is Dividing00:05:47 The Context00:07:52 Dividing God's People00:20:15 Word and Spirit00:24:58 Jews and Gentiles00:46:21 What is Rightly Dividing?1:00:05 ChartsProduction of Reformation Baptist Church of Youngsville, NCPermanent Hosts - Dan Horn, Charles Churchill and Joshua HornTechnical Director - Timothy KaiserTheme Music - Gabriel Hudelson

Springfield, Ohio, student poets share powerful verses on nature, love, and mental health in this moving WYSO Youth Radio episode from the School of Innovation.

The New Covenant is one of the most important topics we can understand about the plan of God among people. Yet even though it's the covenant we're in right now with God, many Christians don't understand it. Today, in our study of Isaiah 42, we're going to look at one of the earliest references to the New Covenant found in the Old Testament. Join us for the key study in this key chapter! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. Isaiah 42 continues to build on the idea that a New Kingdom is coming. In verse 1, we find out that the leader of this kingdom is also a servant. Who is He a servant of? What does that indicate about His own nature and character? 2. The podcast explained that Isaiah 42 is one of several “Servant Songs” in the book of Isaiah. The four “Servant Songs” are found in Isaiah 42, 49, 50 & 53. What is a "Servant Song”? Why is it important to know about these “Servant Songs” when interpreting these passages? 3. Look over verse 1 again. How do we see the fingerprints of the Trinity in this verse? 4. Many Jewish people say that the servant here is the nation of Israel. While that is true in Isaiah 41:8-9, what were some of the reasons given in the podcast for why Israel is not the Servant here in Isaiah 42? Why is this “new” (or different) Servant necessary? 5. Verse 1 also speaks to the nature of the reign of the Servant. What kind of kingdom He establish? 6. In verses 2 to 4, how does He go about establishing this kingdom? In these verses, does it sound like Christ's kingdom expanding through conquest? How would you say that this kingdom is being established in these verses? How do we see this prophecy working out in our world today? 7. How does verse 5 show us the accountability that all people have to God? 8. Isaiah 42 introduces one of the earliest passages in the Bible about the New Covenant. In verse 6, what covenant is God appointing the Servant to bring to the nations? According to the podcast, what is the significance of the Lord's plan to move on from the Mosaic covenant? 9. In verse 7, why does the Lord characterize people's entrance into this kingdom as having blind eyes opened and being freed from dungeons? How did Jesus echo these principles in His Gospel proclamations? 10. In verses 10 to 12, what is the atmosphere of this kingdom? 11. Verses 13 to 15 speak of a different time period in the establishment of this kingdom. Verses 2 to 4 speak of Jesus' first coming and how He works in the world now. Verses 13 to 15 speak of His Second Coming when He will judge the nations and finally and fully establish His kingdom. How are these two interactions with mankind different? Why are they so different? 12. Verses 16 to 25 speak of the spiritual condition of mankind. What is the dominant malady of people described in these verses? What are the various responses to the Lord that are given in these verses? What accounts for these differences? What does this look like in our world today? How were you once blind? How do you now see? Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis! Available on Amazon!

As we continue our journey through the Gospel of Mark, we've seen Jesus reveal His divine identity through jaw-dropping miracles—calming storms, forgiving sins, and feeding thousands with just a few loaves and fish. Yet, the disciples who witnessed these wonders firsthand still struggled to grasp who Jesus truly is. Sound familiar? It should. Mark has repeatedly shown us the theme of Jesus' identity and the people's inability to understand. This Sunday, we'll explore Mark 6:45-56, where Jesus sends His disciples into a stormy sea on their own while He prays on a mountain. They struggle against the wind and feel abandoned when something extraordinary happens. Jesus does what only God can do and comes to them walking on the sea. Jesus "passes by," revealing His name just as God did in the Old Testament before Moses. What Jesus does in this moment leaves the disciples astounded yet still confused. Verse 52 tells us they were astounded at Jesus' coming because "they did not understand about the loaves." They should have understood who Jesus is from the feeding of the 5000. How can Jesus' identity ground us when life's storms make us feel like we're rowing against an impossible current? Why does Mark repeatedly point us to who Jesus is? Join us as we explore how Jesus meets us in our struggles and why knowing Him as God in the flesh is the deepest truth we need, now and always. I. Jesus Is El Roi, The God Who Sees (v. 45-48a) II. Jesus Is Jehovah Sammah, The Lord Who Is There (v. 48b-52) III. Jesus Is Jehovah Rapha, The Lord Who Heals (v. 53-56)
