The 23rd

David's rise to King of Israel was filled with danger and intrigue but he never forgot the lessons God had taught him as a young boy. Psalm 23 is a personal declaration of God's protection, guidance, and provision through even the most difficult stretches of his life. This same protection, guidance, and peace that God gave David are still available for us. Be encouraged by this very familiar portion of scripture. We would love to hear your comments.

The Prayer of a Child

Often we find that the faith of a child can teach us much about our walk with God. Today's story shows us that again.

Same God

Since the beginning of time, God has cared for his people by showing and using his power to meet their needs, protect and direct them, and draw them to Himself. Malachi 3:6 says, "I, the Lord do not change." The God of yesterday is the same today. Today we feature a song from Elevation Worship, called Same God. It reminds us of how great and powerful he was and still is. He is the God of miracles even today. Here is the youtube link to, Same God'. https://youtu.be/LawxIZE9ePE?si=Asmn6Vhotbm8DyE6...

The Perfect Game That Wasn't

A perfect game in baseball occurs when a single pitcher completes nine innings without allowing the opposing team to get on base. There can be no walks, no hits, no hit batters or anything else that may allow a runner to get on base. This has only happened 23 times in the history of Major League Baseball. Today's story could have been number 24. We would love to hear your comments. Send us a Text Message Support the show...

Two Men, Different Choices

For three years Jesus had led and taught his disciples. They all heard and saw the same miracles and lessons. They had seen the same passion Jesus had for the Kingdom of God. They knew Jesus better than anyone else on earth. And yet, at the end of Jesus' life on earth, they were not united in their faith in who Jesus was. Today we look at two of the disciples whose lives went opposite directions as Jesus was arrested. We would love to hear your comments. Send us a Text Message Support the show...
