Finding His Voice

from 60-Second Sermon · host Larry Eldridge

Send us Fan MailWhen Jimmy was six years old, he experienced a traumatic move that caused him to stutter, which led to him becoming a selective mute. Over the next eight years, he would not speak to anyone outside his house … not clerks at stores, not teachers at school, not even students in class.That all changed one day when he was 14 and was challenged by a teacher with whom he had developed a close relationship to recite from memory in front of the class a poem he wrote. The teacher noticed the stutter disappeared when Jimmy quoted from memory, and he continued to help Jimmy find his voice … a voice that told Luke Skywalker, and the rest of the world, a secret about his father … the voice of Darth Vader, James Earl Jones.When the time came for Zechariah to name his son, Luke tells us that “he asked for a writing tablet and wrote, “His name is John … And immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God. (1:63-64)Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist, lost his voice for a short time, but regained it after showing his faithfulness to God. Afterward, we are told that he spoke praises and blessings to God. You will have the opportunity to praise God with your voice this week by telling someone the Good News of Jesus. Be on the lookout and be ready when your chance arises.Support the show

Foothills Church Boise- Sermon of the Week Foothills Christian Church- Boise Foothills Christian Church in Boise, ID is a community of believers led by Dr. Douglas Peake and Harvey Friesen. Join us as we study God's word and how it applies to our daily lives. The Ten Commandments Chad Boersema Many focus on MAKING disciples, we hope to help in the process of BEING a disciple of Jesus. Understanding the ten commandments can be a good place to reflect on, as they were one of Israel's first introductions to learning how to relate to God and live in His way. Jesus also references the commandments in his sermon on the mount saying, “...whoever does them [the commandments] will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:19) Looking forward to exploring these with you!

Laurence Rees A former Head of BBC TV History programmes, Laurence has specialized in writing books and making television documentaries about World War Two, the Nazis and Stalinism for thirty years. He won a BAFTA and a Peabody for his TV series 'The Nazis: A Warning from History' and a British Book Award for his book on Auschwitz, which is also the world's best selling book on this notorious camp. His book 'the Holocaust: A New History' was described by the Times as 'exemplary' and by the Daily Telegraph as 'the best single volume account of the atrocity ever written'. Educated at Oxford University, for several years he was a visiting senior fellow at the London School of Economics, London University. He holds honorary doctorates from the University of Sheffield and the Open University. Professor Robert Service, of Oxford University, described Rees as 'one of the world's experts on the Second World War'. Sir Max Hastings wrote in the Sunday Times, in a review of Laurence Rees' 'World War Two: Behi Wisdom's Proof JesusLifeTogether In a world of religion, ritual, hierarchy, control, money, marketing, and more flavors than 10,000 Baskin Robbins — how can we know what is Right and True? Some just give up. Bad move. JESUS LIVES and REIGNS! Some simply "go along to get along" to conform to culture and biological family. Really bad move, unless you are a lemming and don't care about the destiny someone else has chosen for you. But then JESUS, knowing this day would come, said, "By their fruit you shall know them" and "Wisdom is PROVED RIGHT by all her CHILDREN." Luke 7:35 Find some random offspring from whatever you wish you knew more about, look carefully at the second generation, and see if the gates of Hell are prevailing — as they would in a "mere words" and "mere ceremonies" attendance-based religious organization. OR, is satan getting busted in the mouth by that second generation? What is the fruit and the quality of LIVES of the children - once they can make their own choices? Then you'll Know. Wisdom is PROVED
