  • 12-02-2025 PART 3: Grace Over Grudges
    Dec 2 2025

    Section 1

    Paul continues addressing the Roman church by calling them back to unity, reminding them that differences in personality, background, and preference are normal within the Body of Christ. He uses the example of everyday disagreements—such as favorite teams or personal quirks—to show that variety is not a threat to faith. What matters is the shared foundation: Jesus Christ died, was buried, and rose again, and believers unite around that truth rather than around identical perspectives. Paul emphasizes that individuality is not sinful; it is part of God’s design. What becomes unhealthy is when believers elevate personal preferences into spiritual requirements, losing sight of the love and acceptance that Jesus calls His followers to extend toward one another.

    Section 2

    Paul moves deeper into his teaching by reminding believers that they are not their own masters. Whether in life or in death, they belong to The Lord. This truth removes the grounds for treating one another with superiority or judgment. He explains that each servant answers to their own Master, and no believer has authority over another’s conscience unless Scripture explicitly defines an issue as sin. Unity in essential doctrine is necessary, but personal expressions of faith—such as how someone honors certain days or how they live out minor convictions—are matters between that person and Jesus. Paul stresses that believers must avoid the trap of trying to fix or reshape one another based on personal opinions rather than biblical truth.

    Section 3

    The passage culminates in a clear warning against spiritual overreach. Jesus died and rose again so that He alone would be Lord over both the living and the dead. That means no spiritual leader, pastor, or fellow believer has the right to impose their personal standards as though they were divine law. Abusive or manipulative forms of authority arise when someone elevates personal conviction above Scripture and demands uniformity instead of unity. Paul teaches that believers should focus on serving rather than controlling, following the humility of Jesus who washed the disciples’ feet. True Kingdom strength is built through grace, service, and mutual respect—not through dominance. When believers recognize that unity already exists through the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, they are freed to love one another without forcing conformity, honoring The Lord by honoring His people.

  • 12-02-2025 PART 2: The Blessing Hidden in the Breakdown
    Dec 2 2025

    Section 1

    The story begins with a lighthearted moment that unexpectedly became the doorway to something God was orchestrating behind the scenes. A simple grandfatherly joke about Bucky’s turned into a running theme for little Ana, and that enthusiasm aligned perfectly with a delay that allowed a problem to surface at exactly the right moment. When Jared and Julianne’s car broke down at Bucky’s, the timing prevented prayer time from beginning, allowed communication to happen immediately, and opened the way for a smooth and gracious resolution. A mechanic was secured, the needed part was already identified, and repairs were completed quickly and affordably. What might have been a crisis became a moment of provision, direction, and unexpected fellowship, reminding us that God often uses interruptions to position us exactly where He wants us.

    Section 2

    The following day continued the theme of joyful surprises. With repairs complete and the family choosing to remain an extra day, a humorous plan was formed to welcome Josh and Ashley when they arrived. By hiding the rest of the family and leaving only Easton visible, a playful moment unfolded that completely caught them off guard. Their confusion, questions, and reactions turned into shared laughter once everyone emerged. The room filled with children, car seats, conversations, and the kind of warmth that only a large, close-knit family can generate. Seven little ones sleeping wall-to-wall became a picture of blessing, and the time together reinforced how moments of delay or disruption can open the door to joy that was never scheduled.

    Section 3

    After the family time, the teaching shifted back into Scripture, specifically Romans 14, highlighting the importance of honoring personal convictions within the Body of Christ. Paul makes clear that while believers share unity in core truths, they may differ in how they honor specific days, handle traditions, or approach personal practices. These differences are not grounds for division. Each believer answers to The Lord for their own convictions, and sincerity before Him is what matters. Paul calls the Church to avoid judging one another over issues that do not touch salvation or sound doctrine. The heart behind someone’s actions—whether they celebrate, abstain, eat, refrain, gather early, or gather late—is known fully to God. Our responsibility is to walk in love, avoid imposing our preferences, and resist the temptation to elevate personal style over spiritual substance. The unity Christ calls for is rooted in grace, humility, and the understanding that every believer stands or falls before their own Master.

  • 12-02-2025 PART 1: Daily Faith Over Future Fear
    Dec 2 2025

    Section 1

    The passage in Matthew 25 revisits the parable of the three servants, emphasizing how Jesus teaches stewardship as an intentional expression of ongoing faith. The servants received different amounts, not because of their skill or merit, but because The Lord entrusted each with what He knew they could handle. Their task was not competition but cooperation with His purposes. The point is that gifts are never for boasting; they are for serving the people of God. Spiritual maturity isn’t determined by what someone possesses but by how they use what God places in their hands. Whether it is time, talent, or treasure, the calling is to invest what we are given for His purposes.

    Section 2

    The servant with two bags of gold demonstrated this perfectly. He returned with double, and his Master celebrated him in the same exact way He celebrated the servant who doubled five. Jesus makes clear that the reward is based on faithfulness, not volume. The Pharisees had wrongly believed that outward success or wealth signified God’s favor, yet Jesus praised the widow who gave less in amount but more in heart. The emphasis remains steady: God values devotion, not comparison. Whether someone ministers to thousands or tens, what matters is the heart that serves with what has been entrusted.

    Section 3

    But the last servant introduces a different lesson. Instead of gratitude, he responded with blame and accusations, revealing distrust toward his Master. Fear, not faith, governed his decision, and he buried what was given to him. Jesus points out that the issue was not the smallness of the gift, but the smallness of his faith. The Master later calls him wicked, not for failing, but for doing nothing. God is never displeased when someone tries and falls short; He is displeased when fear keeps someone from trying at all. Every believer has been entrusted with something to advance His Kingdom, and Jesus urges us not to hide or bury those things. Faithfulness means stepping out, trusting The Lord to guide, teach, and strengthen, knowing inactivity—not failure—is the real loss.

  • 11-26-2025 PART 3: Moving Forward, Part 2: Thanksgiving, Truth, and Daily Trust
    Nov 26 2025

    Section 1

    The history of Thanksgiving is deeply rooted in gratitude to God, beginning with the pilgrims who survived extraordinary hardship and set aside days of prayer and praise for His provision. Their early celebrations focused on God’s faithfulness—thanking Him for food, safety, freedom, and unexpected help when their resources seemed gone. Presidents from George Washington to Abraham Lincoln reinforced this connection between national gratitude and God’s goodness, and Thanksgiving became a formal reminder to honor the Lord for His blessings. The modern distortions about the holiday’s origin ignore the truth that believers gathered to celebrate survival, answered prayer, and God’s care. For Christians today, this season calls us back to thankful hearts, recognizing that rejoicing, gratitude, and praise are essential expressions of faith in every circumstance.

    Section 2

    With that in mind, prayer becomes central to how we approach Thanksgiving, especially for families dealing with division, loneliness, or discouragement. God understands every dynamic we face, from political disagreements to relational strain, and He offers comfort, grace, and peace to those who seek Him. Thanksgiving is not about perfect gatherings but about recognizing God’s constant presence and expressing gratitude for the people He has placed in our lives, whether close by or connected through ministry and fellowship. Each of us carries burdens, but God’s compassion is new every morning, His mercies never fail, and He remains faithful no matter how uncertain life feels. His love sustains us daily, and He calls us to trust that He will meet every need according to His wisdom and timing.

    Section 3

    Scripture consistently teaches us to cast anxiety aside and walk with God one day at a time. Philippians urges us not to be anxious about anything, but to bring everything—every fear, problem, and request—to God with thanksgiving. Peter reminds us that we can cast all our anxieties on Him because He cares deeply for us. Psalm 37 gives a practical picture of daily faith: we lean on the Lord, we love Him, we lift our paths to Him, and then we let go, trusting His goodness. This daily walk requires sincerity, commitment, and belief, speaking truth in faith and standing on God’s promises. When we live this way—day by day, with gratitude and trust—His peace guards our hearts and minds, giving us strength for today without being overwhelmed by tomorrow.

  • 11-26-2025 PART 2: Moving Forward, Daily Faith Over Future Fear
    Nov 26 2025

    Section 1

    In this teaching, Jesus directs us to stop worrying about the essentials of life, reminding us that our Heavenly Father already knows what we need. He points to the birds and the flowers to show how completely God cares for His creation, and emphasizes that we are far more valuable. The instruction not to worry is repeated multiple times because Jesus knows how naturally we drift toward anxiety. He highlights the truth that worry adds nothing to our lives, and instead calls us to seek first God’s Kingdom and His righteousness, trusting that everything else will be provided. This emphasis on daily focus leads to the simple but wise conclusion that each day has its own trouble, and we are not meant to borrow fear from tomorrow.

    Section 2

    This ties directly into the example of manna from Heaven, where God supplied exactly what was needed each day. Anything gathered beyond that daily portion would spoil, which served as a powerful reminder that God’s provision is always timely and intentional. Just as Israel had to trust God fresh every morning, so we must trust Him in the present moment. Faith is for today, while hope reaches toward the future. When we try to stretch today’s faith into tomorrow’s unknowns, we lose strength and clarity. Abraham Lincoln’s simple practice of not worrying about how to cross a difficult creek until he actually reached it reflects the same principle. God calls us to use today’s measure of faith for the situations of today, knowing that tomorrow will receive its own supply when it arrives.

    Section 3

    James reinforces this by cautioning against presuming upon future outcomes, noting that our lives are like a mist that appears briefly and vanishes. Planning is not condemned, but planning with anxiety or self-certainty is. Instead, everything must be yielded to the Lord’s will. Worry is not optional; Jesus commands us not to engage in it. God knows every need—financial, emotional, physical, spiritual—and He is never caught off guard. Our part is to pursue Him with sincerity and to walk with Him day by day, trusting that nothing surprises Him even when much surprises us. This daily partnership with God is His invitation: when we commit ourselves fully to Him, He commits His help fully to us, and that promise is more than enough.

  • 11-26-2025 PART 1: The Imperfect Vessel and the Perfect God
    Nov 26 2025

    Section 1

    The moment begins with Sergio calling into the show, greeted warmly and stepping into a conversation shaped by fellowship, humor, and genuine curiosity about Scripture. After exchanging Thanksgiving wishes and lighthearted comments about football, Sergio explains that he has been reading through First Samuel and is trying to understand the intensity of the relationship between David and Jonathan. He mentions reaching the passage where David pretends to be insane, with drool running down his beard, and asks whether he is missing something about Jonathan and David’s connection because it seems unusually strong. His second observation is about David’s imperfections, noting that the same man who triumphed over Goliath could still act out of fear. He ties this to the New Testament moment when people cried out to Jesus as the Son of David, wondering how someone so flawed becomes part of that divine title.

    Section 2

    The response begins by affirming that David and Jonathan were indeed deeply bonded, not in any improper way, but as brothers in loyalty, sacrifice, and devotion. Their connection was God-given, and Jonathan’s affection was expressed in his commitment to protect David from Saul. The discussion rejects the distorted modern interpretations that try to twist their friendship into something impure, highlighting instead that they cared for one another with a sincere devotion rooted in God’s purpose. From there, the conversation moves directly into David’s humanity. His decision to feign madness to escape danger reflects not a lack of faith but the reality that even people who trust God can act out of fear. Elijah fleeing from Jezebel after calling down fire from Heaven, and Peter denying Jesus three times, are used as examples that even mighty servants of God have moments where their humanity overwhelms their courage.

    Section 3

    Sergio’s question about Jesus being called the Son of David opens the door to explaining the divine lineage running from Abraham to David and from David to Jesus, just as the New Testament begins by tracing that exact progression. The title Son of David affirms Jesus as the promised Messiah, even though David himself was far from perfect. This leads into the broader point that God consistently uses imperfect vessels to accomplish His perfect will. Abraham deceived out of fear, David acted impulsively, Elijah fled in despair, Peter denied Jesus, and Paul once persecuted believers, yet God redeemed and used them powerfully. Their flaws do not excuse sin, but they reveal God’s ability to work through human weakness. His mercy is new every morning because His people continually need it, and until the final transformation where sin’s presence is removed forever, God will keep shaping, restoring, and using those who seek Him, just as He did with every figure Sergio mentioned.

  • 11-25-2025 PART 3: Led Step-by-Step: Wisdom, Healing, and Partnership With the Lord
    Nov 25 2025

    Section 1

    This portion of the testimony moves from the moment of crisis into the quiet clarity that follows, showing how God’s intervention not only brought healing but also redirected the medical path forward . Rosalyn’s reaction prevented her from having to take additional drugs and seven painful injections that would have followed. That alone became part of the mercy woven into what happened. The conversation reflects the understanding that medicine is often a trial-and-adjust process, not a precise formula, and that while doctors work with human limits, God works without any. The recognition that both prayer and treatment matter—each having its place—shows a balanced and thoughtful faith. Even medical journals acknowledge that prayer makes a measurable difference, and this reinforces the significance of inviting God into every step.

    Section 2

    Robert and Rosalyn expressed the tension of navigating treatments while sensing that God may be stripping away certain man-made approaches to lead them toward a deeper dependence on the Lord. Rosalyn wondered whether each removed option might be God guiding them closer to a complete miracle. The conversation highlights an essential truth: they must walk each step in partnership with the Lord. The example of Julianne and Jared illustrates this rhythm—research, counsel, prayer, unity, and discernment. Decisions are not made independently or reactively, but together, with God’s wisdom sought at every turn. This is not a rejection of medicine nor an over-spiritualizing of the journey; it is a deliberate choice to ensure that every decision is rooted in unity, prayer, and trust. Whether God removes all treatments or directs them to one remaining option, the point is that they walk it together with Him leading the way.

    Section 3

    The closing portion emphasizes the heart of the entire testimony: God acted, God heard, and God healed. Rosalyn’s immediate instinct to declare, “Jesus healed me,” reflects the genuine encounter she experienced and the biblical pattern of those touched by the Lord. The prayer over the couple reinforced the belief that the same God who intervened yesterday will continue to guide, strengthen, and unite them for the journey ahead. The testimony encourages others to trust that the Lord answers prayer in His perfect timing, sometimes instantly and sometimes through persistence. The program concluded with gratitude—not only for the healing, but for the unity of believers who prayed, the faith that rose collectively, and the reminder that the mission is simple: draw closer to the Lord and to one another, trusting Him in every step and celebrating every moment His presence becomes visible.

  • 11-25-2025 PART 2: Sustained by Prayer: A Testimony of Deliverance and Grace
    Nov 25 2025

    Section 1

    This testimony recounts a powerful and deeply emotional moment in which Rosalyn experienced a severe and sudden reaction during chemotherapy, followed by a clear and undeniable touch from the Lord as the community prayed . As the infusion began, only a few drops of the new chemo entered her system before her body reacted violently. She described the sensation as if a wave of heaviness rushed from her heart through her throat and down her body. The reaction grew more intense as full-body spasms erupted, rising several feet off the bed every few seconds. During these long and frightening forty minutes, nurses struggled to reach the oncologist, unsure how to intervene. It was a moment of helplessness in the natural world, yet one poised for God’s intervention.

    Section 2

    In the middle of this crisis, Rosalyn was barely able to speak or breathe, yet she knew precisely where her hope lay. She told Robert to send a message to the prayer group and directly to the show. As soon as the prayer went forth, her spasms, which had been violent and unrelenting, began to calm. Her breathing eased, and within moments the convulsions ceased. Rosalyn instantly declared, “Jesus healed me,” telling the nurses with the same certainty the healed spoke with in the Gospels. Her first waking instinct was to testify. She walked out of the building later that day, slept deeply through the evening, and the next morning walked on a treadmill. The healing was real, immediate, and complete, and she gave all credit to the Lord, reflecting the same faith that presses through crowds just to touch the hem of His garment.

    Section 3

    Robert’s perspective reveals another layer of this miracle. He witnessed every terrifying moment—the spasms, the uncertainty, the inability to help—and yet he remained steady until the crisis passed. When the prayer began and the reaction started to subside, he saw the power of God working right before him. Afterward, the emotional toll emerged, as it often does once survival gives way to reflection. Yet even in this, he recognized that God sustained them both. Their testimony is a reminder that in moments when there is no human answer, the Lord remains present, faithful, and mighty. Their story will strengthen countless others, showing that the same Jesus who healed in Scripture is healing today, touching His children with compassion, power, and perfect timing.
