You can always tell someone that God has chosen because they will seek to live up to the calling on their life even when tested! They’ll also seek to be faithful. However to be faithful often requires a willingness to stand-alone. Today on Study The Word we’ll be inspired to be that kind of person. We begin a new book of the bible today - the Old Testament book of Joshua. And we’ll consider the example of Joshua on today’s broadcast.

Some would object to the sovereignty of God, denying that the Lord is ultimately in charge. Well, to those who do so, consider the alternative. It's not very hopeful, is it? Sometimes though we don't fully understand what God is up to! We know He is good and ultimately will accomplish His righteous and loving purposes. Today on Hope From the Word, we will be reminded that despite the human leaders we have, ‘God is over all'. It's a comforting thought!

I’m sure you know of someone who claims to be a Christian, and yet they’re willfully engaging in a lifestyle of unrepentant sin! Are they really a believer? The book of First John speaks to this very clearly, as the Lord doesn’t want us to be deceived. Today on According to the Scriptures we’ll look in the mirror and receive a good test to help us determine our real spiritual condition.

Pastor Skip helps you understand the difference between stumbling in sin and choosing it deliberately—and why that distinction matters in understanding your heart before God.

A marriage is the union between two people. A man and a woman, united in Christ and living out their faith together. In today's message, Pastor Bill wants you to see the parallels between Biblical marriage and your walk with Christ. It's loving the other more than yourself. You're to love Christ above all. He loves you so much that He gave His life for you. It's being united as one, just like you'll be united with Jesus forever the day you finally leave this earth and get to enter Heaven with Him.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that just as we love to depend on others, we need to remind ourselves to also be dependable. Doing the right thing may make us feel uncomfortable, but we need to keep a watchful eye on the things that can lead us back to our old selfish ways.

Many of the conflicts we encounter today are due to rude, unwanted judgment. People don’t want to be judged, obviously; I mean, you can imagine what that's like from your own experiences…it’s usually not fun. So, how do we navigate telling people about sin without judging them harshly? In today’s message, Pastor Mark will remind you that it is God’s job to judge… it is not yours! You are called to inform people about sin, in grace and truth, but you are not to judge them. Why? Because we’re all sinners! Who are we to judge another person when Jesus has been so forgiving and kind to us?!

True faith develops through obedience to God. It is strengthened, as we understand God’s ways, listen to his guidance, and respond accordingly. Today, Pastor Ron examines the story of Cain and Abel, focusing on how God responded to their sacrifices. God had determined both the method and timing of sacrifice, emphasizing the necessity of shedding blood for the forgiveness of sins. Cain and Abel likely learned these lessons of faith from their parents' experiences in the Garden of Eden.

A Warning to the Family

1 John 5:6-12

2 Timothy 3:1-12

With remarkable literary skill, the author of Esther recorded God’s work on behalf of His people without once mentioning God’s name. As we begin our journey through Esther, we sharpen our theological lens to see God’s invisible hand moving people and events. Scripture itself helps us interpret His providence, showing how He accomplishes His purposes through ordinary people. Pastor Chuck Swindoll teaches us not to fear the dark storm but to trust God’s grace. Even when providence seems to frown, behind it rests the smile of a faithful God, working all things for the good of His people.

It’s part of human nature to seek out a life of meaning and purpose. But seeking it doesn’t guarantee finding it, leading to the frustration and hopelessness many people often feel. Dr. Tony Evans shares the secret of making the most out of life while there’s still time.

Pastor Skip helps you see how your life should leave a clear impression of who you belong to—and why people ought to be able to see that you are truly His.

As you read the Song of Solomon, it seems like it's simply a love letter going back and forth between husband and wife. But it's much more than that. It not only describes two people of faith in love, but it also describes how much Jesus loves you. Just like Song of Solomon describes the beautiful things about a wife, Jesus washed your sins away so that everything that's left is the beauty. As Pastor Bill will explain today, it's the beauty that Jesus will see in you in Heaven, because all your sins are forgiven.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that who and what we are is often decided in our youth. Influences through the years have created certain disciplines. But for the Christian, our lives are being recreated where dependability begins in the heart.

Unfortunately, the world we live in is dark and is only getting darker every day. But fortunately, as Christians, we have the light, and we can be light amidst the darkness! We can shine for Jesus by staying positive, calm, and steady so our family, friends, and co-workers can see exactly who our God is! In today’s message, Pastor Mark will show that you have an opportunity to share Jesus with those when life gets hectic. When the world is spiraling, and you stay confident and unwavering in your God, people will notice, and you then have an opportunity to share why you do not need to worry!!!

Many aspects of the spiritual realm are beyond what we can perceive with our physical eyes, yet they are essential to our spiritual journey with God. Faith provides the confidence regarding these unseen realities. Today, Pastor Ron emphasizes that even when we do not fully understand all that God has said, we can trust in His ways. Faith involves believing without direct evidence. Although an invisible spiritual battle may be occurring, we can trust God to be victorious when we rely on His promises.

“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.” - Ecclesiastes 3:1 Life moves in seasons—and with each season often comes new challenges, new opportunities, and sometimes new financial finish lines.  On today’s episode of Faith and Finance, we were joined by Cody Hobelmann, a Certified Financial Planner® (CFP), Certified Kingdom Advisor® (CKA), and co-founder of Finish Line Pledge, to discuss why adjusting your financial finish line is not only okay—it can be wise and faithful. What Is a Financial Finish Line? A financial finish line is simply an answer to the question: How much is enough? It helps separate what we intend to use for our own needs from what we can make available for Kingdom purposes. Rather than endlessly increasing lifestyle spending or accumulating wealth without direction, a finish line provides clarity and purpose. For many people, the idea of setting a finish line can feel intimidating. It may sound final or restrictive. But Cody emphasized that a finish line is not about perfection—it is about growth. Your first finish line does not have to be your last. Why Finish Lines Need to Be Revisited Just as a financial plan should be reviewed regularly, your finish line should be revisited as life changes. There are many reasons to adjust it: A new child or dependent enters your family Someone is no longer financially dependent on you You move to a region with a different cost of living Your health changes Major life transitions reshape your responsibilities These shifts may change the cost of maintaining the same lifestyle, making it wise to reassess your financial boundaries. At first glance, caps and limits can sound restrictive. But Cody shared that in practice, setting a finish line often creates freedom. Instead of constantly wondering if you need more, you begin to experience: Contentment Peace Purpose That reflects a biblical pattern. God’s boundaries are not meant to diminish joy but to protect and deepen it. Financial limits can function the same way. Two Types of Finish Lines 1. A Lifestyle Finish Line This is the amount needed to support your current and future lifestyle. It helps determine the appropriate and sustainable level of spending. 2. A Net Worth Finish Line This is the amount of wealth you believe is wise to accumulate over your lifetime. Cody connected this idea to Luke 12 and the parable of the rich fool, who stored up more than he needed while missing the deeper purpose of his resources. The issue was not wealth itself, but accumulation without a Kingdom perspective. Three Questions to Help Define “Enough” Cody highlighted three key areas to prayerfully consider: Your Lifestyle Needs - What does it truly cost to live faithfully and responsibly in this season? Wealth Transfer - What resources would you like to pass on to heirs or future stewards? Conservative Margin - What reserve is wise for life’s uncertainties—without placing ultimate trust in money? These categories can help shape a thoughtful and prayerful plan. If You’re Beyond Your Finish Line If you realize you are accumulating more than needed, Cody suggested asking one important question: Why am I holding on to these resources in the first place? That question can expose fear, habit, or misplaced trust—and open the door to greater generosity and purpose.

You swore you wouldn’t parent like that—and then it falls out of your mouth. Again: the reactions, the tone, the patterns you thought you escaped. Abbey Wedgeworth, author of Help! I'm Ruining My Kids: A Gospel Guide for the Mom Who's Desperate for Change, gets brutally honest about where that comes from—and whether it can actually change. Abbey speaks to the fear you’re passing things down…and the surprising ways those cycles start breaking.

So, let's suppose God told you to pack your bags, get on a plane and become a missionary in a foreign land. Or, He tells you to bring a word of correction to someone you're pretty sure won't take it well. What do you do? Will you be faithful to complete your God-given task? Today on Hope from the Word, a Prophet comes onto the scene as we continue through First Kings. God had given him an important task, but like many of us, he failed to follow through. We'll see what happened as a result. Let's join Pastor Bill Luebkemann now in First Kings thirteen. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1698/29?v=20251111
