Job: Finding Peace On An Unpredictable Path | God Is In Control (Job 13:20-14:1) 20:11

3h ago20:11

20:11

Do you feel like you are in complete control of everything? Or does your life sometimes feel out of control? And if we aren’t in control, who is? When we come to the realization that we aren’t in control, it becomes very important how we answer the question of who or what our God really is. Is our God in control? Is He able to control our lives? Do…

Job: Finding Peace On An Unpredictable Path | Where is Jesus in Our Pain? 22:13

6d ago22:13

22:13

Has it ever seemed God isn’t listening or answering your prayers? Things aren’t going your way, and you’re reaching out, but you’re starting to wonder if God is there? Where is God in your pain? Well… look at the cross. That is where God dealt with the real source of our pain. Jesus isn’t on that cross anymore. He rose and He lives. And because He …

Job: Finding Peace On An Unpredictable Path | Choosing the Right Friends 22:27

15d ago22:27

22:27

When you are going through hard times, it is so important to have good friends. Friends who will be there for you make all the difference. When a friend of yours is dealing with hardship, being there for them is important. Just your presence and your love makes a difference. Your words can too. But there are times a friend’s words are helpful, and …

Job: Finding Peace On An Unpredictable Path | Dealing with Relationship Pain (Job 2:1-10) 23:10

22d ago23:10

23:10

When things aren’t going your way, does your family help you? Or make it harder for you? Are you and your spouse a team who can be strong when the other is weak and regularly encourage each other? Or do you sometimes panic or lash out and make it even more difficult for the other? Different people react to the same difficult circumstances in differ…

Job: Finding Peace On An Unpredictable Path | Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People? (Job 1:1-22) 23:47

29d ago23:47

23:47

No matter who you are, young, old, rich, poor, sick, healthy, you face pressure in life. Parenting pressure, school pressure, work pressure, loneliness and grief pressure. We are often “surviving” one day at a time and don’t know what we will do if things get “worse.” Since we live in a broken world, we can expect things to go “wrong” in our lives …

Joining Jesus in Changing Lives | Live for Jesus (Ephesians 4:11-16) 22:48

1M ago22:48

22:48

Integrating faith into daily life is essential for becoming a contributing member of the body of Christ, supporting one another like family. Jesus asks, “Do you trust me with your life?” As our master and Disciple-Maker, He guides us to grow in Christian maturity, living less for self and more for Him and others. Jesus is the ultimate disciple-make…

Joining Jesus in Changing Lives | Listen to Jesus (Colossians 2:1-10) 21:19

1M ago21:19

21:19

Starting the journey with the foundational teachings of Jesus’ truth is crucial. Jesus asks, “Do you listen to me?” highlighting the importance of His saving work as described in His Word. We thrive on joy rather than guilt by taking Jesus’ truth seriously. Being rooted in Christ and taking God's word seriously is essential for spiritual growth. De…

Joining Jesus in Changing Lives | Discover Jesus (John 1:35-39) 21:46

2M ago21:46

21:46

In this week's podcast, we discover the initial encounter of John’s disciples with Jesus, where they are invited to "come and see" (John 1:39). This invitation is not just to observe but to discover who Jesus is. As Jesus asks, “Who do you say I am?” we understand that He is the answer to life’s biggest questions. At Divine Savior Church, we emphas…

Are You Sure That's What It Means? | God Believes in You (1 Corinthians 10) 26:05

2M ago26:05

26:05

"God will never give you more than you can handle." If that is true, God must really believe in your abilities to handle a difficult situation! But what happens when you fail to handle it? Is God disappointed in you? It seems like a comforting Bible passage, right? Actually, it is not found in the Bible, and it is not comforting at all! It does try…

Are You Sure That's What It Means? | God Will Speak to You If You Just Listen (1 Kings 19) 23:32

2M ago23:32

23:32

Elijah heard the voice of God in the form of a whisper. Many people today claim that God speaks to them in whispers when they pray, through dreams, intuitions, feelings and circumstances. Wouldn't it be great to know that God loves us so personally that has a unique way of communicating with each one of us. He actually does, and it is a way that ta…

Throwback Episode | Healing Heartache 17:29

2M ago17:29

17:29

This week we focus on heartache. We’ve all been there at some point in our lives. Loss of a job, friend, family member, savings, health, leisure, or ability creates a void capable of destroying the human spirit. Left unchecked a person can experience physical, emotional, moral, existential, and philosophical effects long after the event has occurre…

Are You Sure That's What It Means? | Don't Judge (Matthew 7:1) 20:50

3M ago20:50

20:50

"Don't judge me!" is not just a common saying, it is a philosophy of life for those controlled by the sinful nature. "Let me do whatever makes me feel good as long as it doesn't hurt other people, and don't criticize me for it." Even unbelievers pull out Matthew 7:1 to show Christians how lacking their Bible knowledge is and say, "See, Jesus tells …

Are You Sure That's What It Means? | You Can Have Life Without Limits (Philippians 4:13) 17:09

3M ago17:09

17:09

Philippians 4:13 might easily be called the Christian version of, "Just do it." There's nothing you can't do if you set your mind to it...and trust in Jesus. Jesus will make it possible to achieve what you thought was impossible: beat cancer, found a Fortune 500 corporation, or win an Olympic medal. With Jesus at your side, there are no limits. But…

When Surrounded by Hopelessness...See Jesus! (1 Kings 6:8-17) 20:08

3M ago20:08

20:08

In this episode, we dive into the story of Elisha’s servant, who felt hopeless when surrounded by an enemy army. Just as the servant’s eyes were opened to see God’s powerful protection, we found solace in God’s Word, transforming our fear and pain into strength and hope. Join us as we explore how, in our darkest moments, Jesus is our ever-present h…

Are You Sure That's What It Means? | Death is Just a Part of Life (John 11) 18:48

3M ago18:48

18:48

Dying seems so normal because it happens to everyone and so it is tempting to think that it is just a part of the life that God designed for us...but it isn't. Death is not our friend, nor is it something we should just "get used to" simply because it seems inevitable. Death is the consequence of sin and our enemy...an enemy that has been defeated …

Are You Sure That's What It Means? | God Loves You the Way You Are (1 John 4:8) 19:01

4M ago19:01

19:01

This past week at VBS, we focused on how God alone gives us truth, and there is nothing more important than the truth of his love. "God is love" is one of the most beautiful and comforting truths of the Bible, but it is also one of the most abused. Some understand God's love as if it were like human love, mostly based in feelings that change accord…

Special Father's Day Episode | Your Father Sees Everything 18:56

4M ago18:56

18:56

God’s Word will show us what really matters. It’s easy to think that we deserve God’s goodness, but in reality, everything we have is given by his grace. He sees our hearts. He exposes our sin. By grace, he leads us to his side. That's the kind of Father he has always been. Thanks for listening to Pastor Jonny's podcast! He'd love to hear your thou…

Are You Sure That's What It Means? | The Secret to Foolproof Parenting (Proverbs 22:6) 18:59

4M ago18:59

18:59

It's almost like a mathematical formula: Teach your children the Word of God when they are young and without question you will see them in heaven. If your children lose their faith at some point, they will come back without a doubt. Unfortunately, that is not what Solomon is saying. By all means, baptize your children and teach them the Word of God…

The Living Hope of Jesus | Follow Your Shepherds and Stand Firm (1 Peter 5:1-14) 23:01

4M ago23:01

23:01

As sheep, we are prone to wander. We need a Shepherd over us and we need to shepherd one another. Let’s follow our shepherds, pray for them, and encourage them. We are all serving The Shepherd who gave his life for us. So we humble ourselves, but God will exalt us! There is no safer place in the universe than in God’s hands – so let’s cast all our …

I Have Come Down | Exodus 3:1-15 20:51

4M ago20:51

20:51

Where is God? This is one of human beings' most frequently-asked and incorrectly-answered questions. We are tempted to believe that evidence of God's presence is found in outward circumstances. We equate good fortune with God's favor and bad fortune with his judgment. So, as long as nothing terrible is happening, God must not be too angry with us, …

The Living Hope of Easter | Living For God (1 Peter 4:1-11) 19:53

5M ago19:53

19:53

Jesus knows what it is like to be ridiculed, abandoned, and humiliated. He suffered for us and by doing that, gave us a reason to live for Him, even when that is hard or means suffering for us. The first enemy we have to fight is our own sinful self. It craves things that God knows aren’t good for us. Let God change our hearts and minds – which wil…

The Living Hope of Easter | Don't be Surprised Life Isn't Easy! (1 Peter 4:12-19) 20:00

5M ago20:00

20:00

It’s not easy being a Christian today. It never has been. Jesus said that would be the case. We need a deeper joy, a deeper hope to live for to make it through. Easter gives us that living hope. But don’t be surprised by the suffering. Jesus experienced it too. Rejoice in it! It’s proof you belong to Him! Don’t be ashamed – be honored! We have noth…

The Living Hope of Easter | Joint Heirs in Life (1 Peter 3:1-7) 23:39

5M ago23:39

23:39

Christian husbands and wives are an object lesson to the world of Jesus’ love for us. They submit to one another and love each other the way Jesus loves the church. This isn’t always easy. And we don’t like to deal with words like “submit.” But there is a beauty here in how God uses husbands and wives, equal and joint partners, heirs together of hi…

The Living Hope of Easter | Follow in His Steps (1 Peter 2:13-25) 23:42

5M ago23:42

23:42

We live in two different kingdoms – the kingdom of the world, and God’s kingdom. As citizens of this kingdom, we are called to submit to the governing authorities. It is part of how we honor God. But we do this remembering there is one true King, and He isn’t voted in. We honor our leaders, but we worship The King. Our submission shows worship to o…

The Living Hope of Easter | The Greatest Building, The Greatest Story (1 Peter 2:1-12) 22:08

6M ago22:08

22:08

Jesus purified us and made us new! So it doesn’t make sense to keep living the way we used to. Let’s live new lives, imitating Him. Loving the hard-to-love. Let’s grow in our faith by continuing to be fed with his Word. Devour it! He is building us into a building – the greatest building – a spiritual building – His Church! The greatest building wi…

The Living Hope of Easter | How Then Shall We Live? (1 Peter 1:13-25) 20:35

6M ago20:35

20:35

It’s not easy being a Christian in our world. The living hope of Easter makes it easier, it makes it possible. We learn how to think with hope and how to live with hope. The way we live shows what we are hoping in. God made us “strangers” in this world with the new home He has promised us. Do we live as strangers? Or do we forget that there is more…

The Living Hope of Easter | Joy in Suffering (1 Peter 1:1-12) 20:55

6M ago20:55

20:55

It’s not easy being a Christian in our world. It never has been. Jesus said that would be the case. We need a deeper joy, a deeper hope to live for to make it through. Easter gives that to us. So does the fact that God was thinking about us since before creation! The God who chose us before time began isn’t going to let go of us now. The future we …

Easter | Hope Is Alive! (Mark 16:1-8) 15:09

6M ago15:09

15:09

Jesus finished his race as he gave his final breath on the cross. We have run together with him as Mark announced each step of this race. Now Mark is elated to give us this final account. The account of victory - Christ is risen up from the grave. He was victorious. Because Jesus was victorious, so are you. His race is over, but yours continues. He…

Good Friday | The Seven Words of the Cross 18:54

6M ago18:54

18:54

The finish line. The pain. The exhaustion. The final breath. The tired muscles that finally fail. This is what we witness at Jesus’ cross. There is tremendous agony and pain there, but he crosses that finish line for one, incredible, remarkable purpose - our salvation. The curtain stretched out and torn as he died on the cross, reminds us that the …

Holy Thursday | For Many, For You (Mark 14:12-26) 20:42

6M ago20:42

20:42

Jesus wanted his disciples to never forget his race to the cross. He wanted them to remember his race because of what he would do - for many, and for you. Jesus gave up his body and his blood to the cross for each one of us. As he institutes Holy Communion, he does so so that we remember and receive that assuring truth again and again in a special …

Race to the Cross | The Final Stretch (Mark 11-14) 22:17

7M ago22:17

22:17

They come around the final turn and now it is a sprint to the finish, but just because it is near the end of the race doesn’t mean the steps become less important - they become more important. Every stride takes the runner closer to the finish, closer to victory, but every step becomes more challenging, more difficult. The crowds may roar around th…

Race to the Cross | First is Last (Mark 10:17-31) 24:45

7M ago24:45

24:45

How many of us easily buy into the thinking, “If you’re not first, you’re last.” The Kingdom of God flips this thinking around. Jesus turns the ways of the world upside down. Which is so good for us. We need Jesus’ revelation and teaching to help us with this. Worldly wisdom takes us the opposite direction and we’ll never finish the race. Jesus gui…

Race to the Cross | Make Sure You Have Salt (Mark 10:1-16) 22:08

7M ago22:08

22:08

Family support is often a massive part in the story of an athlete’s success. In addition to physical talent, determination, and practice, a support system is necessary for success in competition and life. Jesus knows this better than anyone - he was part of the creative acts that instituted marriage and the family. So on his own race, Jesus speaks …

Race to the Cross | Losing to Win (Mark 8:27-35) 20:33

7M ago20:33

20:33

No one likes to lose. No matter how much our competitive nature drives us, we still prefer to win. But sometimes you win by losing. If you want to follow Jesus you have to lose to win. You have to give up your life for Jesus in order that he can save that life. You have to deny yourself and follow him, just as Jesus denied himself to take up his ow…

Race to the Cross | A Compassionate Teammate (Mark 7:31-37) 15:53

8M ago15:53

15:53

When teammates train together, compete together, travel together, eat together, have fun together, they develop a deep bond. They may known each other better than anyone else, and because they know each other so well, they often are able to offer the exact encouragement needed. Jesus is our compassionate teammate and he knows us better than we know…

Race to the Cross | Practicing Proper Form (Mark 7) 21:56

8M ago21:56

21:56

Proper form makes all the difference in the race. How your feet hit the ground, the way your toes push off, the rotation of your legs, the pumping of your arms, the position of your chest, the focus of your eyes - it all matters. Runners practice proper form and technique for a purpose, but not just an external one. It is to ensure their whole body…

Race to the Cross | The Point of No Return (Mark 9:2-13) 17:55

8M ago17:55

17:55

Glory and celebration await the victorious runners of the race, but that glory never comes easy. It only comes through the intense agony of the pain, even suffering, as every step becomes harder and harder; every breath becomes more strenuous. Only through that pain can the runner gain the glory that is to come, if they finish. Throughout his life …

Race to the Cross | Listen to the Coach (Mark 4:1-20) 19:46

8M ago19:46

19:46

The coach observes his athletes, jots down his notes, compares the times, and then he speaks. He teaches. He gives important directions. Those with the humility to accept his instructions and encouragements will grow in their abilities. Those who think they know better will struggle and fail. Jesus is so much more than a coach. He is our God - our …

Race to the Cross | No Distractions (Mark 3:20-35) 21:34

8M ago21:34

21:34

All along the course the runners find distractions. Some in the crowd cheer you on, some in the crowd cheer on your opponents. Some praise your form and skill. Some accuse you of cheating. But you can’t get distracted. You need to stay focused on what is most important. Jesus faced many distractions in his ministry, but he always stayed focused on …

20:10

What inspires you to get up each day? What allows you to live with joy? With the hardships and struggles we experience in this world, we need something to encourage us and empower us to live well each day. Money, philosophy, and technology might be tools we use, but they aren’t the reason we live. Jesus uses tools to bring his incredible and miracu…

Race to the Cross | The Amazing Race (Mark 1:35-45) 20:37

9M ago20:37

20:37

Some athletes are simply incredible. When they compete, you can’t help but stare in awe and wonder at the strength they exert, the focus on their task, the abilities with which they have been blessed, and what they are able to accomplish. It tells you something about their origin, their work ethic, their determination, and you wonder what drives th…

Race to the Cross | The Starting Line (Mark 1:1-20) 20:43

9M ago20:43

20:43

Every race has a start. As they prepare, and step up to the line, the competitors already have their minds and hearts on the finish line. They take their mark. There’s silence. The gun cracks and muscles instantly respond with action. The race is on! The eyes of the crowd are drawn in. Every race has a start, but it all began far before that moment…

Once upon a time, on the very first Christmas, Jesus left his heavenly home to live here on earth with us.

19:14

Have you ever asked God for a sign? Did he deliver? Today God tells us to ask for a sign - to test him. He tells us to pray: “Thy Kingdom come.” He wants us to see the signs of his kingdom. The sign of his holy Word preserved through millennia. The sign of water combined with that Word of God. The sign of the most fulfilling feast laid out upon his…

A barren landscape bursts into vibrant blossoms. What an amazing sight to witness, but Isaiah speaks of the miraculous and instantaneous power of God. God's kingdom truly does bring joy; everlasting joy. He miraculously works it out of the chaos we see in the world and the chaos that churns inside our own hearts. We are all blind, dead, lame, and m…

Proverbs | Restoring Relationships (Assorted Proverbs) 21:09

11M ago21:09

21:09

This week we focus on relationships. It’s easy to believe that relationships succeed (They’re so awesome!) or fail (They’re so miserable!) because of the “other” person. In contrast, the book of Proverbs teaches what’s in our heart determines the nature of the relationship. In the series this week learn what Proverbs has to say about the enemy of r…

This week we focus on heartache. We’ve all been there at some point in our lives.
