Shabbat Shalom for October 17, 2026 - written by Ray Carlton
[verse 1] Shabbat Shalom, O mishpacha, for whom Yeshua bled; and died for all, whom Yah didst call, ye heed what He hath said. Shabbat Shalom, O be ye strong, yea, let thy faith remain; keep thou His ways, for all thy days, all sin ye e'er disdain. (all sin ye e'er disdain) [chorus] Shalom! Shalom!

Pray ye alway, His mercies art anew; for every soul, shouldest extol, Him 'pon the morning dew. (His blessings wilt ensue) [verse 2] Shabbat Shalom, His...
What Is Confession? by Melinda Carroll
-- Welcome to an enlightening exploration of biblical confession, hosted by Frank Agee and Bobbie Agee with special guest Melinda Carroll. -- Many believers misunderstand confession, viewing it merely as a routine practice rather than an active spiritual force. -- True confession involves affirming what we believe, testifying to what we know, and witnessing to the truth we have embraced from God's Word. -- The Bible teaches that death and life are in the power of the tongue, meaning the words we speak daily shape our reality and bear spiritual fruit. -- Drawing from Mark 11 and Romans 10, this teaching demonstrates...

Stop Trying to Fix Your Burnout With a Vacation by Pastor Henry Miller
Refreshed, Refueled, and Refired -- Ministry and daily life can take a heavy toll, often leading to physical and spiritual burnout even for the most faithful believers. -- Taking a vacation or a break from your routine is not enough to cure deep weariness if you do not also return to the presence of God for spiritual refueling. -- Just as the Apostle Paul experienced physical decay while his inner man was renewed daily, believers must consciously seek daily spiritual restoration. -- Age, the heavy pressures of life, and daily responsibilities can deplete your energy, making it vital to pause...

In this session of the Wonderful Words of Life Radio Broadcast, we will be looking into Ephesians 2:11-23. This portion of the scriptures reveals to us the place we "were" in the world system and the place we "are now" through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, raised up and made (fashioned) to be In Christ at the right hand of the throne of God. +++++++ You can find more information on my website: https://pastorjohndunning.com/ You can hear my personal testimony on this website: https://www.ifyouonlyknew.life/
What the Bible Says About Healthcare Sharing by Mike Sharman on Oct. 16, 2026
-- The modern healthcare system has grown into a massive financial burden, consuming roughly nineteen percent of the total United States economy through complex corporate and governmental structures. -- While traditional family health insurance premiums have skyrocketed to an average of two thousand six hundred eighty-four dollars per month with steep deductibles, biblical healthcare sharing ministries offer a faithful alternative starting at just three hundred forty-nine dollars a month for a family of four. -- Healthcare sharing operates on voluntary giving rather than government coercion or secular business interests, allowing members to align their medical choices with a biblical worldview...
Highway Seven the Road to Heaven - Part 2 by Pastor Jack King on Saturday, Oct. 17, 2026
-- In this powerful teaching from Matthew chapter 7, Pastor Jack King explores the vital spiritual truths found along the road to heaven. Focusing on the familiar command to ask, seek, and knock, this message goes beyond traditional Sunday school lessons to uncover how God actively pursues every human heart. -- Life on earth is compared to a vapor or the passing grass, reminding believers that temporal pursuits will ultimately fade. Because the human soul is the only thing carried into eternity, prioritizing our spiritual walk must remain our highest daily focus. -- Pastor King breaks down the spiritual journey into...
The Power of Being Equally Yoked by Dr. Edith Davis on Oct. 16, 2026
In this episode, Dr. Davis exposes the critical, often overlooked spiritual dangers of being unequally yoked in marriage. Diving deep into the Word of God, she explains why human love alone cannot sustain a marriage against the relentless attacks of the enemy and why choosing the right partner is literally a matter of life and death. Tune in to learn how to renew your mind, align your relationship with God, and stand strong as a kingdom power couple. -- Dr. Davis emphasizes that being equally yoked requires more than just both partners sharing the label of Christian; it requires unity...
Acts Chapter 3 by Pastor Mike Jenkins on Sunday, Oct. 11, 2026
Exploring the Power of the Early Church -- In Acts Chapter 3, Peter and John arrive at the temple during the afternoon hour of prayer, setting the stage for a miraculous encounter that changes a lame beggar's life forever. -- The timing of the miracle directly mirrors the ninth hour of Jesus' death on the cross, symbolizing the magnificent shift from old animal sacrifices to direct, unhindered access to God. -- First-century cultural practices regarding alms and the Jewish view of justice, charity, and redemption provide profound historical context for why the beggar sat daily at the temple gate. -- True...
The Divine Shakeup by Pastor Joseph Davis on Sunday, Oct. 11, 2026
-- God often uses unexpected trouble and persecution to shake believers out of their comfortable routines and prevent them from stalling the global mandate of the gospel. -- True spiritual growth requires moving beyond static, routine habits and recognizing that believers are meant to be the mobile church in motion every single day. -- False security in familiar places can blind individuals to the new things God wants to do, making disruptions a necessary tool for divine redirection. -- Authentic ministry requires examining our internal motives, ensuring that our drive is rooted in Christ rather than a desire for personal...
Make Room for Others! by Pastor Steve Dow on Sunday, Oct. 11, 2026
- True gospel impact requires stepping out of our comfort zones and actively entering the messy realities of the people around us, mirroring how Christ left heaven to dwell among humanity. -- Modern church culture often settles for comfortable routines and infrequent attendance rather than pursuing the urgent biblical call to go into the highways and hedges to compel others toward God's grace. -- Building authentic bridges with neighbors, strangers, and those with different backgrounds matters far more than simply handing out invitations or treating church attendance like a checklist. -- Showing up consistently, whether at a community camp, a local...
Restoration and Reception of the Father’s Love by Pastor Byron Carter on Sunday, Oct. 11, 2026
In this deeply encouraging teaching, Pastor Byron Carter explores the human side of faith, walking through the incredible journey of Simon Peter. From walking on water and making bold declarations to falling asleep in the garden and denying Christ three times, Peter's story reminds us that stumbling does not disqualify us from God's plan. This message challenges the instinct to hide in shame and calls believers back into intimate fellowship with a Savior who restores. -- Peter's journey highlights the common tendency to rely on human strength, pride, and bold declarations, only to discover how easily we can miss the...
The Bible in Song – Died to Rise - Part 2 on Oct. 13, 2026
-- The resurrection of Jesus was not like Lazarus returning to ordinary mortal life, but a true transformation into a glorified, physical, and recognizable state. -- Jesus proved the reality of His resurrection body by eating, speaking, showing His wounds, and moving freely through locked doors without being a ghost or a spirit. -- First Corinthians 15 contrasts our present natural body of weakness with the powerful, spiritual, and immortal body believers will receive at the resurrection. -- Philippians 3 teaches that our present heavenly citizenship guarantees that Christ will transform our lowly mortal bodies to be like His glorious body. ...
I'm Coming for All 3 - Discouragement, Disappointment, and Delay by Apostle Otis B. Young on Sunday, Oct 11, 2026
As believers, we often find ourselves wrestling with invisible weights that slow our spiritual momentum. In a recent teaching titled "I’m Coming for All Three," Apostle Otis B. Young addresses the heavy adversaries that plague the body of Christ: discouragement, disappointment, and delay. These are not merely passing emotions; they are calculated spiritual pressures designed to strip away our hope, paralyze our calling, and obstruct the divine timing of God. Discouragement is a heavy, oppressive influence that causes us to lose sight of God's promises. When hardship lingers, it is easy to grow exhausted and retreat into isolation or im...
Matter of the Heart // My Big Fat Mouth // Ryan Kramer
Here is a closer look at what we uncover when we examine the true source of our words. -- We often rely on mental filters during stress, exhaustion, or high-pressure situations, but when those filters drop, our true character is revealed rather than changed. -- In Matthew 12, Jesus challenges the religious elite who mastered outward rules and traditions while completely missing God's heart of mercy and compassion. -- Our words act like the juice of an orange when squeezed, proving that pressure only reveals what was already stored inside our hearts all along. -- Trying harder to manage our speech...
Chosen, Perverted, and Justified by Servant Marcia
Lately, we have been pondering the days of Noah. We have asked the vital question of how we escape the corruption of this present age, and whether we share the same favor that Noah found in the eyes of God. Today, the Lord has laid a powerful message on my heart regarding what it means to be truly justified, chosen, and preserved by Him. Before looking at the state of our world, we must anchor ourselves in Romans chapter 8. There, the Apostle Paul reminds us that there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk...

Adventures in Fasting by Doug Apple
Fast-tracking your spiritual growth doesn't have to mean pure misery or legalistic rules. In this eye-opening conversation, Doug Apple unpacks his personal journey from frustrating, traditional fasts to sustainable lifestyle changes that clear out spiritual clutter and create room for God to work. -- Fasting is not meant to be an awful, legalistic burden, but rather an exciting adventure in following Jesus closely. -- Self-denial creates a spiritual vacuum that invites God to fill your life with His presence and fresh renewal. -- Small, everyday cravings often act like hidden fishhooks that pull us away from focus and self-control. ...
Strange Times - Part 1
What happens to a society when there is no universal standard of authority and conduct? It may sound appealing for every person to determine their own “truth”, live by their own morality, and believe and worship according to their own theology, but ancient Israel in the era of the judges illustrates, that this led to chaos. It is no different in our own times. The book of Judges relays some head-scratching stories that played out in the lives of God’s own people during this time when “every man did what was right in his own eyes.” In the story of a man n...
God Didn't Call You to a Playground but a Battleground by Pastor Henry Miller
Pastor Henry Miller delivers a sobering and powerful wake-up call to the modern church, challenging the notion that following Jesus is an exemption from trials. Drawing from First Peter, Romans, and Second Corinthians, this message exposes how spiritual apathy and biblical illiteracy leave believers defenseless against the daily attacks of the enemy. -- The Christian life is an active, spiritual war rather than a playground, requiring constant spiritual vigilance, clear-minded focus, and the deliberate putting on of God's armor. -- The battlefield begins in the human mind, where the enemy plants small, deceptive doubts and temptations that slowly poison spiritual...
Vote Your Faith by Pastor Jack King on Sunday, Oct. 11, 2026
Voting Your Faith: Bringing Biblical Values to the Ballot Box As believers, we are called to be salt and light in every area of our lives, including the civic duty of voting. During election seasons, the noise of modern politics can easily distract us from what truly matters. However, followers of Christ have a higher standard, one that is rooted in the eternal truths of Scripture and the teachings of Jesus. When we step into the voting booth, we carry the heart of the church with us, making decisions that reflect our devotion to God and His kingdom. Pastor Jack...

Mike Sharman Reporting From The 2026 Homesteaders of America Conference on Oct. 9, 2026
Cultivating the Country Life: Wisdom from the Modern Homestead Movement There is a quiet revolution happening across America. People are trading the daily commute and disconnected consumerism for a life rooted in the soil, the kitchen, and the family hearth. At the recent Homesteaders of America Conference, thousands gathered to celebrate a return to self-reliance, community, and purposeful living. At its core, homesteading is not merely about farming on a massive scale. It is about bringing life back home. It is about raising your own food, educating your children, generating family income from your property, and rebuilding the deep bonds...

Make Room for Expectation by Pastor Steve Dow on Sunday, Oct. 4, 2026
Stepping Into Unwavering Faith -- Expectation is different from basic faith because faith believes that God is, while expectation believes that God is able, moving us from doctrinal learning to personal experience. -- When we anchor our lives to God, our expectation is tied directly to His character, His promises, and His absolute inability to lie. -- Many believers settle for half-hearted prayers wrapped in doubt, but everything promised in Scripture is already the expressed will of God for His children. -- True expectation is not wishful thinking or hoping for a good outcome; it is sitting on the edge...
Living as Stewards, Not Masters by Father Herb Bailey on Sunday, Oct. 4, 2026
"We abuse God's love when we forget that we are already recipients of God's favor." — Father Herb Bailey Embracing Our True Identity as God's Masterpiece -- As beginners in our own projects, we often envision perfection, only to find our reality falling short; just as artists paint over mistakes, the Master knows when to redirect our paths. -- The biblical imagery of the vineyard reveals a love story filled with care and high expectations, which tragically turns into a lament when wild grapes grow instead of a sweet harvest. -- The illusion of control and the temptation of power lead te...
Deliverance From the Artificial Church by Pastor Joseph Davis on Sunday, Oct. 4, 2026

What Is Truth? by Pastor Shirley Albritton on Sunday, Oct. 4, 2026
Finding Your Anchor in Absolute Truth Unmasking the World's Deception -- Many believers unintentionally allow the secular world system, cultural norms, and human convenience to dictate their daily decisions rather than anchoring themselves firmly in spiritual laws. -- The kingdom of darkness constantly pushes a narrative built entirely on deception, aiming to keep believers blind, distracted, and operating on mere worldly facts instead of eternal truth. -- True transformation requires recognizing when we have locked the Holy Ghost away inside our own busy routines, man-made checklists, and comfortable habits. -- Walking out our faith means refusing to compromise on God's...
The Bible in Song – Died to Rise - Part 1 - Anchored by Truth - Oct. 6, 2026
When we think about the earthly ministry of Jesus, our minds naturally gravitate toward the manger in Bethlehem, the cross, and the empty tomb. However, Scripture reveals that the story of redemption does not end at the resurrection. The bodily ascension of Jesus into heaven was the planned conclusion of His earthly mission and the glorious inauguration of His heavenly reign. Without the ascension, we are left to wonder where Jesus is now and how He currently exercises His authority. The biblical record presents the descent of the Son in the incarnation and His subsequent ascent as one complete, seamless...
Private Prayer Leads to Public Victory by Apostle Otis B. Young on Sunday, Oct. 4, 2026
Unlocking the Power of the Secret Place True spiritual strength is never forged in the spotlight. In this compelling teaching, Apostle Otis B. Young challenges believers to move beyond religious performance and build an authentic, private altar of prayer. Drawing from the early church model in Acts and the teachings of Jesus in Matthew, this message highlights why public ministry, praise, and corporate prayer can never replace your personal time alone with God. Whether you are navigating a difficult season, battling internal distractions, or simply trying to break free from pretense, this episode offers practical wisdom on how to protect...
The Power of Words // My Big Fat Mouth // Ryan Kramer
"The tongue can bring death or life" (Proverbs 18:21). "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me" is one of the biggest lies we were ever taught. Words are never "just words." In Week 1 of our series My Big Fat Mouth, Pastor Ryan Kramer looks at what the Bible says about the power of words. We all carry words spoken over us years ago, and we've all excused our own with "I was only joking" or "I was just angry." But Scripture gives our words enormous weight. Using Proverbs 18:21 and Jesus' teaching in Matthew 12, this message...
Will You Bend the Knee? by Servant Marcia on Oct. 5, 2026
Will You Bend the Knee? A Prophetic Call for the Last Days Step into a powerful exploration of prophecy, history, and modern culture with Servant Marcia on Heaven on Earth Ministries of Jesus Christ.

Drawing parallels between the paganistic society of Babylon and our current cultural landscape in 2026, this teaching exposes the subtle and overt pressures believers face to compromise their faith. -- Servant Marcia explains the...
