TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome, dear listeners, to the January 5th, 2025 episode of the Daily Radio Bible. I'm your host, Hunter, and I'm thrilled to have you join us today on our journey through the Bible. Together, we'll read Genesis chapters 12 through 14, exploring the story of Abram's call and his adventures in Canaan and Egypt. We’ll then turn to Luke chapter 5, witnessing Jesus’ miraculous catch of fish, his healing of a man with leprosy, and his powerful teaching that challenged religious expectations. Our goal is not just to read these scriptures, but to see Jesus, to be transformed by His love, and to walk in His ways as beloved children of God. Let’s dive in and embrace this journey together, welcoming the new life and abundant joy that comes from walking with our Bridegroom, Jesus. Join me as we explore, reflect, and pray through these timeless passages. TODAY'S DEVOTION: The religious leaders are upset. They're disturbed by Jesus and his disciples. They're always eating and drinking, they said to Jesus. And Jesus' response leads us to a question, especially if you've been at this Christian experience for any length of time. The question that rose up in my own heart was this, is the bridegroom with us or not? Jesus says if the bridegroom is not with us, it calls for fasting. Then he says there's gonna be a time, a time, when that happens. But if he is with us, here right It's time to eat and drink. It's time to go out into our day and live it in the reality of the bridegroom's presence with us. They were being critical of Jesus and his followers because they weren't showing the requisite religious, I don't know, gloom that was required or expected of holy people. They were eating and drinking. They were learning to live and exude that unselfconscious, childlike abundant life in the presence of the bridegroom. New life in a new way, probably much to the surprise of the disciples themselves. Luke seems to be saying that when you are walking with the bridegroom, you will walk in this new life in a new way because the one who renews us is with us, and he will one day renew all things. Now there is a time to mourn. There is a time to weep. There is a time to fast. For everything, there is a season. But in all things and in all seasons, we now do them in the presence and the company of the bridegroom. He is our comforter in times of trouble. He is our strength and our shield. He is our wisdom and our light. He walks with us through the valley of the shadow of death, and he prepares a banquet for us in the presence of our enemies. He is our bright and morning star. He is our joy and our life. So that means in the wake of loss and strife and hardships and even death, he is with us. This is his new wine abiding in you, and it is a new thing. And the prayer of my own heart today is that I will live awake to the bridegroom's presence with me today, that I will grow in that unselfconscious, childlike, abundant life, and maybe even surprise myself today by living free of the requisite religious gloom that my old religious self would require and instead live as the child of God that I am. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome, dear ones, to the "Daily Radio Bible," where we journey through the scriptures together every day. I'm your host and Bible reading coach, Hunter. Today is January 4th, and we're diving into Genesis chapters 9 through 11 and Luke chapter 4. This episode explores God's covenant with Noah, the origins and spread of humanity, and the compelling story of Jesus' temptation and early ministry. We are reminded of God's boundless love and the call to extend His grace beyond our imagined borders. As always, we'll wrap up with heartfelt prayers, grounding us in the day's reflections. Let's immerse ourselves in God's word and discover His abundant life together. Tune in and be blessed! TODAY'S DEVOTION: He's outside the bounds and borders of where we expect him to be. He is present with those that we think are disqualified from his care, his healing, and his love. They're from places like Zarephath and Sidon or from the land of Syria, Gentile lands, border lands, among people that are our enemies, people that we think are enemies of God, people we think are headed for destruction. And yet, here's Jesus preaching his first sermon in a church service and proclaiming that God is with them too. That God's favor, his healing, his mercy, his grace is with those people too. This made no sense to his listeners. It offended their religious sensibilities to the core, so much so that Luke tells us that they tried to kill him afterwards. But Jesus will not be stopped. He will not be silenced, and his message will continue to be proclaimed. Jesus comes to show us that God is not a tribal deity. No. He is the God of all tribes. He's the god of all the earth. And his love for the world and its people is reaching into places that our religious minds and our offended minds say are outside the bounds of god's grace. So let's beware of drawing borders around God's love and his grace. Let's look carefully at how Jesus begins his ministry here in his very first sermon, And let us understand well what the Spirit of God is saying to his people. The good news is for the poor. Captives are released. The blind are seeing. The oppressed are set free. And the time of the Lord's favor has come. And Jesus says that that favor has come to everyone, inside and outside of whatever borders we have constructed. And that is good news for all of us. And the prayer of my own heart today is that I will participate with him in seeing and proclaiming and experiencing the favor and love of God in my own life and in the lives of all people. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. Let's continue now in a time of prayer. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy.

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome, dear listeners, to the Daily Radio Bible on this 3rd day of January. I'm Hunter, your Bible reading coach and brother, here to guide you through another transformative journey in the pages of Scripture. Today, we dive into Genesis chapters 6 through 8, chronicling Noah's obedience amidst the great flood, and finish with Luke chapter 3, where we encounter John the Baptist's call to repentance and the baptism of Jesus. Together, we'll reflect on the profound themes of judgment, renewal, and the unmistakable proof of life found in Jesus Christ. Join me as we embark on this spiritual voyage, allowing God's words to shape our lives and hearts. Let's get started. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Noah sends out a dove 3 times for proof of life. God has sent judgment on the earth, and Noah sends out a dove to see if there's still life amidst the remains of his judgment. 3 times he releases this dove. The first time the dove returns, having found nothing to rest upon. It found no life, only water and only judgment. But 7 days later, he sends it out again. And this time, it comes back with proof of life, a fresh olive branch in its beak. It was fresh. It was miraculous. That branch had grown, matured, and was fresh within 7 days. It was a picture of God's re creation. Just as God created the heavens and the earth in 7 days, here we see a picture of God making all things new in 7 days. Noah releases the dove again a third time. This time, the dove doesn't come back. The 3rd time he releases the dove for more proof of life, and it doesn't come back. The next time we see this dove, it will be many cen In the flowing rivers of the Jordan River, the dove reappears, descending upon the one who is life itself. No more proof needed. The one who is the life has come to be with us, to rescue us from sin, death, and the grave. He is greater than Abraham. He is greater than Moses. He is greater than all the names listed today in our reading. He is the one that the father declares to be his son. He is the one that John says will take away the sins of the world. He is the proof of life we've all been waiting for, and the prayer of my own heart today is that I will begin to participate more and more with his life. That I would declare his message of life faithfully to this world that is dying to hear, dying to know, dying to drink deeply from the waters of life. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, and that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. Let's continue now in a time of prayer. Feel free to read along with these prayers in the show notes of today's podcast, and meditate on these words that are being spoken over you, your family, and our world. And now, let us pray. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray...

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome, dear ones, to the second day of January and day number 2 of our journey through the Bible. I’m Hunter, your host, bible reading coach, and brother in faith. Here at the Daily Radio Bible, we keep it simple: we read through the scriptures — the Old Testament once, and the New Testament twice every year — with the hope of being transformed by the God who is love. Today’s readings are from Genesis chapters 3 through 5 and Luke chapter 2. We'll explore the fall of humanity, the story of Cain and Abel, and the birth of Jesus. Join us as we delve into these powerful passages and seek to be transformed by God’s word and love. Let's embark on this journey together. Welcome! TODAY'S DEVOTION: You know, sometimes we think we have to get ourselves straightened out at least a little bit before we can expect God to come near to us or do anything for us. But that's not the gospel at all. We are the ones that run and hide from him. He's not the one who hides from us. No. He comes to us. In today's scripture, we see that Adam and Eve are banished from the garden. And oftentimes we read these passages, or at least they exist in our mind, in such a way that we think that they are banished because God is so holy that he can't stand to be in the presence of us or our sin, that somehow his holiness would be violated by being anywhere near us. But that's not what the scripture is saying, and that is not what God is doing. No. He is banishing Adam and Eve, but they are banished so that in their state of blindness and delusion that came over them when they agreed with the serpent and disobeyed God's instructions so that in that state, they would not do something that could not be undone. No. God is not so holy that he must separate himself from you. God has come to you just as you are. In your delusion, in your darkness, he comes. He comes to restore us, to cover us, to open our eyes. Just as we are, God comes to us, and that's the gospel. The holiness of God is a holy love, and that love is a consuming fire that purges all things that are not of love. And that holy love sent Jesus to the cross so that he would break the power of sin, so that our eyes could be opened, so that we might see who we are in him, what he's created us to be. We are his children, and he is a God who is with us. And that my friend is good news. And we can now live with him, participating with him in his great work of restoration of all things. And the news is so so good. It's better than we've ever thought. God has not banished us because he despises us. No. He has banished us so that he might find a way to restore us, and that is exactly what he's done. And God is not so holy that he despises you and cannot be in your presence. No. He loves you, and he has come to you just as you are. And the prayer of my own heart today is that I will understand these things and that I will experience the truth of it, and live in the joy of it. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, and my daughters, and my son, and that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. Let's continue now in a time of prayer. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever.
