Sound the Alarm to Save (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When someone we love is drifting toward danger, staying silent feels safer than speaking up, but in Ezekiel 33:7-11 God calls his people to be watchmen for one another. The prophet Ezekiel was told that his warnings were never his own opinion to offer but God's own word, given so that people drifting toward sin might turn back and live. Jesus extends that same calling to every believer in Matthew 18, teaching that pointing out a brother or sister's sin is meant to win them back, not to win an ar
Endure in Eager Expectation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When faith doesn’t erase the pain in your life, Romans 8 says that pain itself is labor pain — proof that the glory Christ promised is already on its way. In Romans 8:18–25 , Paul insists that dying to an old, sin-bound self brings genuine pain — but in Christianity, as Paul describes it, that pain is never wasted; it comes bundled with the certain hope of resurrection glory in Christ. Even creation itself, Paul writes, groans in eager expectation, subjected to frustration by God himself but wit
Who Do You Say Jesus Is? — Peter’s Confession in Matthew 16:13–20 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s possible to admire Jesus and still not know who he is — and Matthew 16 says he is the Son of the living God, not merely a great teacher. In Matthew 16:13–20, Jesus asks his followers who people say he is, and Peter answers with a confession Jesus says came from the Father himself: not one more prophet in a long line, but God come into the world in human flesh. Because Jesus is God in the flesh, every promise the Father made is fulfilled in him — mercy for sin, and the defeat of death. Jesus
God's Purpose Works Good for You in Christ |Romans 8:28-39 (What Makes Christians Different, Part 6) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This episode of Ascension on Air asks a question every person eventually faces: what happens when your plans for life don't work out? Drawing from Romans 8:28-39, the message explains that faith in Christ doesn't guarantee the job, the relationship, or the outcome someone hoped for. Instead, the Bible points to something it calls God's purpose: to shape believers into the likeness of Christ through both hardship and blessing. That purpose, sealed in Christ before time began, is one Scripture say
When God’s Provision Doesn’t Look Like a Miracle | Matthew 14:13–21 (What Makes Christians Different, Part 5) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Jesus fed a crowd of more than five thousand people from five loaves and two fish, the first thing he did wasn’t the miracle — he looked up and thanked his Father for food that hadn’t appeared yet. This episode works through Matthew 14:13–21 and the reflex that account tends to expose: when God provides dramatically for someone else, people either feel quietly overlooked or decide provision like that belongs to a different era. Jesus points somewhere else entirely — the same Father who brou
