Why do temptations always seem to show up just when we're most determined to grow?In today's episode, host Rachelle Alessi invites us to explore the theme of temptation as we continue our walk through James 1. Together, we'll learn how temptation begins with desire, how God never tempts us, and how His word can strengthen us to overcome any challenge that comes our way. We'll reflect on what it means to stand firm, rely on God's truth, and allow every season, even the hard ones—to deepen our faith.Join us as we pray together, seeking strength and perseverance from God's word, and encouraging each other in our daily walk of devotion.Tap HERE to send us a text!

Pastor Patrick Carmichael & occasional guest speakers deliver God's Word at Christ Bible Church's weekly Sunday services. Mission Hills, California.

Fr. Mike highlights verse 11 from Jeremiah 29: "I know the plans I have for you...plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." Since we know God is a good Father, we too can count on this promise and know that God has a plan for each of us. The reading are Jeremiah 28-29, Daniel 10-11, and Proverbs 16:13-16.

My Refuge and My Fortress91 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High    will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.2 I will say[a] to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,    my God, in whom I trust.”3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler    and from the deadly pestilence.4 He will cover you with his pinions,    and under his wings you will find refuge;    his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.5 You will not fear the terror of the night,    nor the arrow that flies by day,6 nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,    nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.7 A thousand may fall at your side,    ten thousand at your right hand,    but it will not come near you.8 You will only look with your eyes    and see the recompense of the wicked.9 Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place—    the Most High, who is my refuge[b]—10 no evil shall be allowed to befall you,    no plague come near your tent.11 For he will command his angels concerning you    to guard you in all your ways.12 On their hands they will bear you up,    lest you strike your foot against a stone.13 You will tread on the lion and the adder;    the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot.14 “Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him;    I will protect him, because he knows my name.15 When he calls to me, I will answer him;    I will be with him in trouble;    I will rescue him and honor him.16 With long life I will satisfy him    and show him my salvation.”+++For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

Fr. Mike explains why God asks his people to surrender to King Nebuchadnezzar even though it seems contradicting. We learn that God can use evil circumstances to win the hearts of his people back. In Daniel, as we read about the vision of the ram and the goat, Fr. Mike reminds us that prophecy is always shrouded in mystery. Today we read Jeremiah 26-27, Daniel 8-9, and Proverbs 16:9-12. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

The sermon defends the authenticity of Mark 16:9-20 against textual criticism by citing scriptural promises of preservation and overwhelming external manuscript evidence. It argues that doubting these verses contradicts God's faithfulness to preserve His Word throughout church history. The message then shifts to the theme of unbelief, illustrating how Christians often functionally deny God's truth through worry, disobedience, unforgiveness, and fear. Unbelief is presented as a dangerous spiritual poison that hardens the heart and leads believers away from trusting God's sovereignty. The preacher urges the audience to reject doubt and place complete confidence in the reliability of Scripture and the Gospel.

Faith can change the world, but faith is not what we say we believe; it's what we act on. We believe God has an incredible vision for our community and a specific plan for your life. Whether you're looking for deep, biblically sound teaching or a church family that truly loves you, you’ll find it here.

As we read the epic story of Daniel in the den of lions, Fr. Mike points out Daniel's valor and faithfulness in the midst of his powerless. We also learn the meaning of Daniel's vision of the four beasts and the ancient of days. Finally, Fr. Mike explains the prophetic significance of Jeremiah's vision of good and bad figs. Today's readings are Jeremiah 24-25, Daniel 6-7, and Proverbs 16:5-8. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

Fr. Mike touches on Proverbs 16:3, which is about giving everything in our lives to the service of the Lord. He also emphasizes how important it is to humble ourselves before the Lord, so to avoid becoming like the false prophets Jeremiah talks about today. Today's readings are Jeremiah 23, Daniel 4-5, and Proverbs 16:1-4. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

The enemy will speak. The question is: what will you say next?In the final episode of How to Win, Dr. Terry Mize shows believers how to hold fast to the Word of God when fear, pressure, and the circumstances of life try to steal it.Saul and Israel's army knew God's promises, but fear had silenced them. David remembered his covenant, answered Goliath, and ran toward the battle. He did not trust in his own strength—he declared what God had said and knew the battle belonged to the Lord.Terry explains how David's five smooth stones picture the weapons God has given every believer: the Name, the Blood, the Word, covenant, and the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus followed the same pattern when Satan tempted Him, answering every attack with, “It is written.”In this episode, you'll discover:• Why knowing the Word is not the same as using it• Why there must be a “then says you” when the enemy speaks• What David understood about covenant• How the Name, the Blood, the Word, covenant, and the Holy Spirit work together• Why the battle belongs to the Lord• How Jesus defeated temptation with “It is written”• How to keep speaking and standing until you winKey Scriptures: 1 Samuel 17:23–51; Exodus 14:13–14; 2 Chronicles 20:15–17; Deuteronomy 8:3; Deuteronomy 6:13, 16; Galatians 3:13–14, 29; Psalm 91.Website: https://terrymize.comPartner: https://terrymize.com/giveYouTube: https://youtube.com/user/terrymizeministriesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/terrylmize/Podcast: https://terrymize.com/podcast#terrymize #morethanconquerors #terrymizeministries #faith #wordofgod #spiritualwarfare

Book FourFrom Everlasting to EverlastingA Prayer of Moses, the man of God.90 Lord, you have been our dwelling place[a]    in all generations.2 Before the mountains were brought forth,    or ever you had formed the earth and the world,    from everlasting to everlasting you are God.3 You return man to dust    and say, “Return, O children of man!”[b]4 For a thousand years in your sight    are but as yesterday when it is past,    or as a watch in the night.5 You sweep them away as with a flood; they are like a dream,    like grass that is renewed in the morning:6 in the morning it flourishes and is renewed;    in the evening it fades and withers.7 For we are brought to an end by your anger;    by your wrath we are dismayed.8 You have set our iniquities before you,    our secret sins in the light of your presence.9 For all our days pass away under your wrath;    we bring our years to an end like a sigh.10 The years of our life are seventy,    or even by reason of strength eighty;yet their span[c] is but toil and trouble;    they are soon gone, and we fly away.11 Who considers the power of your anger,    and your wrath according to the fear of you?12 So teach us to number our days    that we may get a heart of wisdom.13 Return, O Lord! How long?    Have pity on your servants!14 Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love,    that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,    and for as many years as we have seen evil.16 Let your work be shown to your servants,    and your glorious power to their children.17 Let the favor[d] of the Lord our God be upon us,    and establish the work of our hands upon us;    yes, establish the work of our hands!+++For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

My Soul Longs for the Courts of the LordTo the choirmaster: according to The Gittith.[a] A Psalm of the Sons of Korah.84 How lovely is your dwelling place,    O Lord of hosts!2 My soul longs, yes, faints    for the courts of the Lord;my heart and flesh sing for joy    to the living God.3 Even the sparrow finds a home,    and the swallow a nest for herself,    where she may lay her young,at your altars, O Lord of hosts,    my King and my God.4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house,    ever singing your praise! Selah5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you,    in whose heart are the highways to Zion.[b]6 As they go through the Valley of Baca    they make it a place of springs;    the early rain also covers it with pools.7 They go from strength to strength;    each one appears before God in Zion.8 O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;    give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah9 Behold our shield, O God;    look on the face of your anointed!10 For a day in your courts is better    than a thousand elsewhere.I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God    than dwell in the tents of wickedness.11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield;    the Lord bestows favor and honor.No good thing does he withhold    from those who walk uprightly.12 O Lord of hosts,    blessed is the one who trusts in you!Glorious Things of You Are SpokenA Psalm of the Sons of Korah. A Song.87 On the holy mount stands the city he founded;2     the Lord loves the gates of Zion    more than all the dwelling places of Jacob.3 Glorious things of you are spoken,    O city of God. Selah4 Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon;    behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Cush[a]—    “This one was born there,” they say.5 And of Zion it shall be said,    “This one and that one were born in her”;    for the Most High himself will establish her.6 The Lord records as he registers the peoples,    “This one was born there.” Selah7 Singers and dancers alike say,    “All my springs are in you.”+++For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

Christians are continually being influenced by the messages, values, and ideas surrounding them. Romans 12:1–2 calls believers not to be conformed to the world but to be transformed through the renewing of their minds. In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins explains how the Word of God reshapes the believer's thinking, desires, decisions, and conduct. He considers the difference between external behavior modification and the inward transformation produced by God through His truth. Dave also provides three practical ways Christians can pursue a renewed mind: consistently reading Scripture, evaluating their assumptions according to God's Word, and meditating on biblical truth. Because believers are united to Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit is actively renewing them and conforming them to Christ through the Word of God.

Paulwas thankful because when these people heard his preaching, they recognizedthat there was something different about his message. They realized that thiswas not merely Paul's opinion. It was not simply another philosophy. It was notanother religious theory. They received it “as it is in truth, the word ofGod.” And then Paul tells us what happened: “Which effectively worksalso in you that believe.” I have often used this verse over the yearsbecause it reminds us of a wonderful truth: When we receive the Bible as theWord of God and believe it as the Word of God, it begins to work in our lives. Thereis transforming power in God's Word! Notice the progression in this verse. First,they heard the Word. Paul says, “the word of God which you heard of us.”Romans10:17 tells us: “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word ofGod.” Somebody has to proclaim the Word before people can hear it. That iswhy preaching and teaching the Scriptures is so important. That is why weshould share God's Word with our children and grandchildren. That is why weshould send it around the world through missions. And that is one of thereasons I enjoy sharing these Pastor's Chats every day.  Buthearing the Word alone is not enough. Second, they received the Word. There isa difference between hearing something and receiving it. You can sit in churchand hear the Bible preached every Sunday without allowing it to change yourlife. You can read your Bible every morning and close it without responding towhat God has said. James 1:22 reminds us: “But be you doers of the word, andnot hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” The Thessalonians didn'tmerely hear the message. They welcomed it into their hearts and lives.Butnotice something even more important. Third, they recognized it as God's Word. Paulsaid they received it: “Not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, theword of God.” That makes all the difference. If I believe the Bible ismerely the words of men, then I can take what I like and reject what I don'tlike. I can say, “I agree with this part, but I don't agree with that.” Butwhen I believe that this Book is God's Word, my attitude changes. Instead ofstanding in judgment over the Bible, I allow the Bible to judge me. Instead oftrying to change the Scriptures to fit my life, I allow the Scriptures tochange my life to fit God's will.  Thennotice the final truth. Fourth, they believed the Word. Paul says that the Word“effectively works also in you that believe.” That little phrase is soimportant—“in you that believe.” The Bible sitting unopened on a shelfwill not transform your life. Even knowing Bible verses intellectually will notnecessarily change your life. The Word becomes effective in us as we believeit, receive it, obey it, and allow the Holy Spirit to apply it to our lives. I haveseen this truth demonstrated countless times over the years. I have watchedpeople hear the Gospel, believe the Word of God, trust Jesus Christ as theirSavior, and become completely different people. I have seen marriages changed. Ihave seen families restored. I have seen people delivered from destructivehabits. I have seen discouraged people find hope. I have alsoseen grieving people find comfort. I have seen believers discover God's willand give their lives to serving Jesus Christ. And it wasn't because of theeloquence or ability of the preacher. It was the Word of God working in thosewho believed! Thatis why, as a preacher, I have always believed that my primary responsibility isnot to entertain people or impress people with my knowledge of the deepermeaning of the Scripture. My responsibility is simply to faithfully give themthe Word of God. Because my words cannot change a heart. But God's Word can! Myopinions cannot produce spiritual life. But God's Word can!   

Fr. Mike walks us through the fall of Jerusalem, and the intense lament of Jeremiah as he watches the people of Israel fall into captivity. He also introduces us to the Prophet Daniel, and his incredible gift of discerning dreams and proclaiming God's Word. Today's readings are Jeremiah 20-21, Daniel 1-2, and Proverbs 15:25-28.

Tell the Coming GenerationA Maskil[a] of Asaph.78 Give ear, O my people, to my teaching;    incline your ears to the words of my mouth!2 I will open my mouth in a parable;    I will utter dark sayings from of old,3 things that we have heard and known,    that our fathers have told us.4 We will not hide them from their children,    but tell to the coming generationthe glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might,    and the wonders that he has done.5 He established a testimony in Jacob    and appointed a law in Israel,which he commanded our fathers    to teach to their children,6 that the next generation might know them,    the children yet unborn,and arise and tell them to their children,7     so that they should set their hope in Godand not forget the works of God,    but keep his commandments;8 and that they should not be like their fathers,    a stubborn and rebellious generation,a generation whose heart was not steadfast,    whose spirit was not faithful to God.9 The Ephraimites, armed with[b] the bow,    turned back on the day of battle.10 They did not keep God's covenant,    but refused to walk according to his law.11 They forgot his works    and the wonders that he had shown them.12 In the sight of their fathers he performed wonders    in the land of Egypt, in the fields of Zoan.13 He divided the sea and let them pass through it,    and made the waters stand like a heap.14 In the daytime he led them with a cloud,    and all the night with a fiery light.15 He split rocks in the wilderness    and gave them drink abundantly as from the deep.16 He made streams come out of the rock    and caused waters to flow down like rivers.17 Yet they sinned still more against him,    rebelling against the Most High in the desert.18 They tested God in their heart    by demanding the food they craved.19 They spoke against God, saying,    “Can God spread a table in the wilderness?20 He struck the rock so that water gushed out    and streams overflowed.Can he also give bread    or provide meat for his people?”21 Therefore, when the Lord heard, he was full of wrath;    a fire was kindled against Jacob;    his anger rose against Israel,22 because they did not believe in God    and did not trust his saving power.23 Yet he commanded the skies above    and opened the doors of heaven,24 and he rained down on them manna to eat    and gave them the grain of heaven.25 Man ate of the bread of the angels;    he sent them food in abundance.26 He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens,    and by his power he led out the south wind;27 he rained meat on them like dust,    winged birds like the sand of the seas;28 he let them fall in the midst of their camp,    all around their dwellings.29 And they ate and were well filled,    for he gave them what they craved.30 But before they had satisfied their craving,    while the food was still in their mouths,31 the anger of God rose against them,    and he killed the strongest of them    and laid low the young men of Israel.32 In spite of all this, they still sinned;    despite his wonders, they did not believe.33 So he made their days vanish like[c] a breath,[d]    and their years in terror.34 When he killed them, they sought him;    they repented and sought God earnestly.35 They remembered that God was their rock,    the Most High God their redeemer.36 But they flattered him with their mouths;    they lied to him with their tongues.37 Their heart was not steadfast toward him;    they were not faithful to his covenant.38 Yet he, being compassionate,    atoned for their iniquity    and did not destroy them;he restrained his anger often    and did not stir up all his wrath.39 He remembered that they were but flesh,    a wind that passes and comes not again.40 How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness    and grieved him in the desert!41 They tested God again and again    and provoked the Holy One of Israel.42 They did not remember his power[e]    or the day when he redeemed them from the foe,43 when he performed his signs in Egypt    and his marvels in the fields of Zoan.44 He turned their rivers to blood,    so that they could not drink of their streams.45 He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them,    and frogs, which destroyed them.46 He gave their crops to the destroying locust    and the fruit of their labor to the locust.47 He destroyed their vines with hail    and their sycamores with frost.48 He gave over their cattle to the hail    and their flocks to thunderbolts.49 He let loose on them his burning anger,    wrath, indignation, and distress,    a company of destroying angels.50 He made a path for his anger;    he did not spare them from death,    but gave their lives over to the plague.51 He struck down every firstborn in Egypt,    the firstfruits of their strength in the tents of Ham.52 Then he led out his people like sheep    and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.53 He led them in safety, so that they were not afraid,    but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.54 And he brought them to his holy land,    to the mountain which his right hand had won.55 He drove out nations before them;    he apportioned them for a possession    and settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.56 Yet they tested and rebelled against the Most High God    and did not keep his testimonies,57 but turned away and acted treacherously like their fathers;    they twisted like a deceitful bow.58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places;    they moved him to jealousy with their idols.59 When God heard, he was full of wrath,    and he utterly rejected Israel.60 He forsook his dwelling at Shiloh,    the tent where he dwelt among mankind,61 and delivered his power to captivity,    his glory to the hand of the foe.62 He gave his people over to the sword    and vented his wrath on his heritage.63 Fire devoured their young men,    and their young women had no marriage song.64 Their priests fell by the sword,    and their widows made no lamentation.65 Then the Lord awoke as from sleep,    like a strong man shouting because of wine.66 And he put his adversaries to rout;    he put them to everlasting shame.67 He rejected the tent of Joseph;    he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim,68 but he chose the tribe of Judah,    Mount Zion, which he loves.69 He built his sanctuary like the high heavens,    like the earth, which he has founded forever.70 He chose David his servant    and took him from the sheepfolds;71 from following the nursing ewes he brought him    to shepherd Jacob his people,    Israel his inheritance.72 With upright heart he shepherded them    and guided them with his skillful hand.+++For more information about this group, please visit their website at

As artificial intelligence grows more powerful by the day, one question remains: How far can it really go? On this episode of The Alex McFarland Show, Alex explores the rapidly changing world of artificial intelligence and the questions many people are asking about its future. Will AI ever become truly human? Could it somehow become supernatural—or even divine? And should we fear a future where artificial intelligence takes over the world as we know it?As AI becomes increasingly woven into everyday life, Alex separates fact from fear and examines the important distinction between artificial intelligence and the God-given intelligence, consciousness, and spiritual nature of human beings.Listen as Alex turns to the truth of God's Word to help us understand AI from a biblical worldview and reminds us what makes humanity uniquely created in the image of God.Scriptures:John 8:321 Thessalonians 5:23-24Genesis 2:24Romans 2:15Links:Alex McFarlandThe Alex McFarland ShowConversations that Matter Ask AlexMy Relationship with God Free e-bookBook: The Assault on AmericaUnited in Prayer DevotionalsSpeaking CalendarBook AlexFollow Alex on  XGive OnlineAlex McFarland MinistriesP.O.

Getting the Word into our hearts in the key to life.

In the Day of Trouble I Seek the LordTo the choirmaster: according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.77 I cry aloud to God,    aloud to God, and he will hear me.2 In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord;    in the night my hand is stretched out without wearying;    my soul refuses to be comforted.3 When I remember God, I moan;    when I meditate, my spirit faints. Selah4 You hold my eyelids open;    I am so troubled that I cannot speak.5 I consider the days of old,    the years long ago.6 I said,[a] “Let me remember my song in the night;    let me meditate in my heart.”    Then my spirit made a diligent search:7 “Will the Lord spurn forever,    and never again be favorable?8 Has his steadfast love forever ceased?    Are his promises at an end for all time?9 Has God forgotten to be gracious?    Has he in anger shut up his compassion?” Selah10 Then I said, “I will appeal to this,    to the years of the right hand of the Most High.”[b]11 I will remember the deeds of the Lord;    yes, I will remember your wonders of old.12 I will ponder all your work,    and meditate on your mighty deeds.13 Your way, O God, is holy.    What god is great like our God?14 You are the God who works wonders;    you have made known your might among the peoples.15 You with your arm redeemed your people,    the children of Jacob and Joseph. Selah16 When the waters saw you, O God,    when the waters saw you, they were afraid;    indeed, the deep trembled.17 The clouds poured out water;    the skies gave forth thunder;    your arrows flashed on every side.18 The crash of your thunder was in the whirlwind;    your lightnings lighted up the world;    the earth trembled and shook.19 Your way was through the sea,    your path through the great waters;    yet your footprints were unseen.[c]20 You led your people like a flock    by the hand of Moses and Aaron.+++For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

Fr. Mike focuses on the concept of being rich in love instead of rich in wealth today, as we read about the heart of a mother and father in our verse from Proverbs. He also emphasizes the presence of sacrificial love in the vocation of marriage and family through God's decision to keep Jeremiah single, saving him from more suffering. Today's readings are Jeremiah 16-17, Ezekiel 45-46, and Proverbs 15:17-20. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

In “No Days Off,” Sam Fleury teaches from 1 Timothy 4:6–16 that spiritual growth requires intentional training. What we consume forms us, our disciplines shape us, and godliness affects every area of life. Through the imagery of training, stretching, lifting, and running, Sam challenges us to feed our souls with truth, follow Jesus with discipline, develop visible spiritual fruit, and use the life and grace God has given us to influence and invest in others.

In this message, Samuel Goulet continues The Mountain Church's study of the seven churches in Revelation by focusing on Pergamum, Sardis, and Philadelphia. He calls the church to reject compromise, wake up from spiritual apathy, and step into the authority God gives His people through His Word and Spirit. With practical encouragement for families, church community, and personal discipleship, Samuel challenges listeners to live awake, repentant, and spiritually engaged—holding fast to faith, resisting the enemy, and trusting God to restore strength, purity, and authority where it is needed most.

Fr. Mike explains the significance behind the mention of bones in Jeremiah and Ezekiel. In Jeremiah, we learn that the bones of God's people are scattered because of their worship of false gods.

Reflecting on the stubbornness of the Israelites' hearts from today's readings, Fr. Mike teaches us that we cannot always trust our imperfect hearts, because they are not always aligned God's law and will, and they can often lead us into false worship. However, we can rely on God who promises to give us a new heart so that we can do what we ought. Today's readings are Jeremiah 7, Ezekiel 36, and Proverbs 14:29-32.

Fr. Mike explains the beautiful connections between all of our readings today. He emphasizes how good shepherds are willing to face the truth, and also sacrifice for their sheep, like Jesus who laid down his life for us. In our reading of Jeremiah, Fr. Mike also explains that the experience of shame points to the reality that there is something good within us that ought not to be violated. Today we read Jeremiah 6, Ezekiel 34-35, and Proverbs 14:25-28. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

Fr. Mike expands on Ezekiel 33 and emphasizes that the role of a prophet, is to be God's watchman and speak whatever it is God wants to be spoken.

Today's readings are Jeremiah 5, Ezekiel 33, and Proverbs 14:21-24. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.
