1) What does Paul mean in Ephesians 4:5 when he says "one Lord, one faith, one baptism"?2) Doesn’t the Bible teach that anyone who believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God is saved?3) Where did the various races and nationalities come from?4) Why does Luke trace the genealogy through Mary?5) Was Judas saved?6) How can the reference to Elijah in Malachi 4:5 be John the Baptist if the prophecy is in reference to the Tribulation?

<p>In this sermon from Killing You Softly on the seven deadly sins, Pastor Levi Lusko confronts pride as the root beneath every other sin. Through the lens of the cross, we see that pride doesn’t just distort our lives, it slowly destroys them from the inside out. But the same cross that exposes our pride also provides the cure. As we look at Jesus’ final words, we’re invited to lay down self-absorption, self-reliance, and self-exaltation, and step into a life shaped by humility, surrender, and trust.This message will help you: recognize the different forms pride can take in your life identify how pride subtly shapes your thoughts and reactions replace self-focus with a Christ-centered lifeNEXT STEPS:Ask for prayer or connect with a pastor: https://freshlife.church/contactRegister your decision to follow Jesus and receive free resources: https://freshlife.church/know-godGive a financial gift to support what God is doing as we take steps forward to see the Gospel reach far and wide: https://freshlife.church/giveSUBSCRIBE:Sign up to receive encouragement straight to your inbox, and to stay up to date with announcements, events, and more: https://church.us13.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=6ea4d82b2567db3e86b7767cd&id=451f2fe63eDon’t miss a video!

<p>Does the King James Version offer the best translation of Isaiah 53? Is the King James Version the perfect Bible? What does it mean to be "chosen"? What is the true meaning of predestination? How could Jesus be in the heart of the Earth for "three days and three nights"? Wasn't He crucified on Friday and raised on Sunday?</p>

<p>Judas had every opportunity to turn back — but he didn't. In this episode, Dr. John Neufeld walks through John 13:20–30, tracing the final moments before Judas leaves the upper room to betray Jesus. It's a sobering portrait of what happens when a heart grows so hardened that even the outstretched hand of Jesus is refused — and a warning that the darkness we choose can eventually become the darkness that owns us.</p><p><em>Passion:</em> Easter is a pivotal time in the life of a Christian. The foundation of our faith relies on the death and more importantly, the resurrection of Jesus. This 15-message series will prepare our hearts for the Easter season as Dr. Neufeld walks us through the various aspects of the time leading up to Jesus’ death. Talking about the stories of Jesus in the week leading up to his death, also known as Passion week, ought to awaken our own passion of service, thankfulness, and worship. This is a series you won’t want to miss!</p>

<p>If you know someone who questions the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, it may be that they don’t have all the facts. In this fascinating message, former atheist Lee Strobel shares his story of coming to faith after years of study, and then examines extra-biblical evidence that proves three key points: Jesus was truly dead on the cross, the tomb was really empty, and hundreds of people interacted with Jesus after Resurrection Sunday! </p> <p> </p> <p><a href="https://donate.focusonthefamily.com/don-daily-broadcast-product-2026-04-03?refcd=2443704">Receive a copy of The Case for Easter: A Journalist Investigates Evidence for the Resurrection and an audio download of "Fact Check: Did Jesus Really Rise from the Dead?" for your donation of any amount!</a></p> <p> </p> <p><a href="https://www.focusonthefamily.com/episodes/broadcast/fact-check-did-jesus-really-rise-from-the-dead/#featured-resource-cta/">Get More Episode Resources </a></p> <p> </p> <p><a href="https://sf.fotf.com/6rub3h">If you enjoyed listening to Focus on the Family with Jim Daly, please give us your feedback.</a></p>

The bank gives us a grace period. The seedy politician falls from grace. Musicians speak of a grace note. We use the word for hospitals, baby girls, kings and pre-meal prayers. We talk as though we know what grace means.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">You turn the page of your Bible and look at the words. You might as well be gazing at a cemetery. Lifeless, stony, nothing moves you. But you don’t dare close the book, no sirree. You dare not miss a deed for fear that God will erase your name.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">If that’s your feeling, grace can speak to you. God’s grace has a drenching about it. It comes after you. It re-wires you. From insecure to God-secure. From regret riddled to better-because-of-it. From afraid to die to ready to fly. As Paul said in Galatians 2:20 (NKJV), “It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.” You might call it a heart transplant.</p> <p>Read more <a href="https://maxlucado.christianbook.com/grace-more-than-deserve-greater-imagine/max-lucado/9780529117694/pd/911769?event=BRSRCG|PSEN" title="Grace: More Than We Deserve, Greater Than We Imagine"><em>Grace: More Than We Deserve, Greater Than We Imagine</em></a><br> <a href="https://maxlucado.christianbook.com/grace-more-than-deserve-greater-imagine/max-lucado/9780529117694/pd/911769?event=BRSRCG|PSEN" title="Grace: More Than We Deserve, Greater Than We Imagine"> <img src="https://maxlucado.com/wp-content/uploads/grace-more-than-we-deserve-196x300.png" alt="Grace: More Than We Deserve, Greater Than We Imagine" width="100" height="153.06122449" class="book-info" /> </a> </p> <p>For more inspirational messages please visit <a rel="nofollow" href="https://maxlucado.com">Max Lucado</a>.</p>

<p class="p1">A sci-fi blockbuster about the end of the world is somehow the most hopeful movie in years. What does Project Hail Mary's success say about a culture drowning in cynicism? Esau McCaulley, Malcolm Foley, and Mike Stralow dig into why audiences are craving optimism again and whether the church (and Holy Post Media) has something to learn from it. Then the conversation turns to all the recent talk about "revival." Is something actually happening, or are we just reading the signs we want to see? They unpack why Christians are so fixated on growth, what we might be measuring wrong, and whether real renewal looks less like hype and more like repentance.

Mark 14:8-9
 [Jesus said:] “She has done what she could and has anointed my body for burial ahead of time. I tell you the truth, wherever the Good News is preached throughout the world, this woman’s deed will be remembered and discussed.”
 Jesus said this after a woman had anointed him in Bethany. It was clearly an amazing moment. It was quite usual for a house guest to be greeted by being given a few drops of perfume, but the woman deliberately broke open the whole perfume bottle. The onlookers immediately responded to the apparent waste of money. The perfume was made from nard which came from far off India and was, therefore, extremely expensive – the equivalent of one year’s wages.
 Jesus vigorously defended the woman’s actions. The people who suggested that the perfume could have been sold and the money given to the poor weren’t wrong, but they missed the point. This woman was preparing Jesus’ body for burial, and nothing could be more important than that. Jesus’ death on the cross was going to bring salvation to the world, so her action was of the first importance. I am particularly struck by the fact that Jesus commended the woman for doing [itals]what she could[end itals]. That’s the challenge we all face. God may not call on you and me to lead countries or armies or change history through great social reforms, but He does ask us to do what we can. Perhaps He is calling us to encourage the elderly people next door, or write a note of encouragement to a colleague, or pay a debt on behalf of a family member. Our action may hardly be noticed, but that’s not the point. We will have done what we could.
 In his letters, the apostle Paul constantly encouraged his readers to keep doing God’s will. He knew that life was full of challenges and distractions, but he commanded them: “Be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless” (1 Corinthians 15:58).
 Question
 What will you be able to do for God today?
 Prayer
 Loving Father, thank You for the opportunity of serving You today. Amen

I’m Matt Tommy, and I’m walking through three specific reasons artists are uniquely positioned to carry spiritual influence in the world. If you’ve ever been told you’re “too sensitive,” “too intense,” or “too much,” we reframe that as a form of God-given perception that can help you discern what others ignore and respond with wisdom instead of insecurity. <br/><br/>We also talk about why art lands differently than a purely logical argument. People carry defenses, filters, and practiced resistance, but story, beauty, and honest creativity can slip past those walls and reach the heart. That’s why art can create encounters, not just content. When your work flows from the Holy Spirit through your imagination and into your craft, it can translate God’s heart into a language people can actually receive. <br/><br/>If you don’t make “Christian art,” you’re not disqualified. We dig into what it means to create with redeemed eyes, redeemed hands, and a redeemed imagination whether you paint, write songs, photograph, design, sculpt, or build. Your gift can also make room and open doors into rooms, relationships, and cultural spaces traditional ministry may never reach, which is exactly why the enemy fights your identity and tries to keep you silent, busy, and afraid. <br/><br/>If you’re ready to stop creating from fear and start creating from agreement with heaven, listen through to the end, then subscribe, share this with an artist friend, and leave a review so more creators can find it.</p><p>Join the Foundations Course: https://www.matttommeymentoring.com/foundations</p><p><b>Fuel Your Creative Calling with Weekly Encouragement<br/></b><em>Join thousands of Christian artists who are growing in faith, creativity, and purpose.</em></p><p>Subscribe to <em>The Thriving Christian Artist Weekly</em> and receive powerful, faith-filled content every week—designed to encourage your heart, spark your creativity, and equip you to walk boldly in your God-given calling as an artist.</p><p> <a href='https://thrive.matttommeymentoring.com/tca-weekly'><b>Click here.
