Dadvice: Happy Father's Day

In the Lord's Prayer, Jesus taught us to talk to God as our Father—because we are His children.

Today’s readings come from Psalms 74:1-9, Acts 9:32-10:23, 2 Samuel 23:8-24:25

John 1:10-12 [Jesus] came into the very world he created, but the world didn’t recognise him. He came to his own people, and even they rejected him. But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. Rejection is always painful. If you meet with a new group of people and feel unwelcome, it is an uncomfortable experience, but if you are rejected by people who are close to you, it is particularly agonising. Many people have experienced rejection from their parents, children or spouse. There is no way of simply br...

What is the Secret Book of James? Why isn’t it in the Bible? How do we reconcile being immediately with God upon death yet “the dead in Christ will rise first”? Does the Holy Spirit help us keep the Law? What is the difference between the Law and the Ten Commandments?

Today’s readings come from Psalm 73:15-28, Acts 9:1-31, 2 Samuel 22:1-23:7

John 1:6-8 God sent a man, John the Baptist, to tell about the light so that everyone might believe because of his testimony. John himself was not the light; he was simply a witness to tell about the light. John was determined to help people to see that Jesus, and only Jesus, is the Light of the World. John the Baptist had a really important part to play, but he wasn’t the light. He simply prepared people to meet with Jesus. John wanted his readers to make sure that they were only looking for life’s meaning and purpose in J...

In his first epistle, the Apostle John tells us God is holy and dwells in light, and that man is not holy and dwells in darkness—with a very steep and deep canyon between us and God. So how has God made a way for us to have a relationship with Him? Find out how we can step into the light of God’s Word and regain fellowship with Him.

We often ask God to give us strength, but if we’re in Christ, we already have power. In this message, Dr. Tony Evans explains how believers are strengthened through the Spirit to live out their calling with confidence.

John 12

What’s Revelation primarily about? Is it the future, the end of the world, the Antichrist? A closer read invites us to put our focus somewhere far better—the Lord Jesus Christ.

With His crucifixion looming, Jesus comforted His disciples and prepared them for His departure by promising to send a Helper—the Holy Spirit. Some envision a ghostly entity sent to do God’s bidding. Join Alistair Begg on Truth For Life to investigate the Bible’s description.

In this episode, Dr. John explores Jesus’ claim to divine authority as the fulfillment of Psalm 110 and contrasts it with the false authority of the religious leaders. He challenges us to recognize that true authority belongs to Jesus alone—the Son of God and Lord of all—calling us to respond with humble submission rather than mere admiration.

The King Arrives: Throughout North American history, there have been two main reactions to monarchy: rebellion or apathy. Some believe the Crown should be rejected, while others see it as largely irrelevant. In short, we wrestle with the idea of kin...

1 Thessalonians 5:12

Do you remember a great teacher you had? When people are given the space to make mistakes and grow at their own pace, it makes a lasting impact.

Life turns every person upside down. No one escapes unscathed. Not the woman who discovers her husband is having an affair. Not the businessman whose investments are embezzled by a crooked colleague. Not the pastor who feels his faith shaken by questions of suffering and fear. We’d be foolish to think we’re invulnerable. But we’d be just as foolish to think that evil wins the day. The Bible vibrates with the steady drumbeat of faith. God recycles evil into righteousness.

The honor and benefit of having a personal relationship with God is something to highly value and treasure.

He speaks to you with loving words. He knows your deepest dreams. The suitor I'm talking about is God, and His love for you exceeds anything imaginable.

Did demons have relations with women and create giant babies? What’s the quickest way to get to know the gospel message in the Bible? How am I to interpret all of the violence in this world in light of God’s plan? I’m losing my joy about being generous toward my employees. What should I do?

John 1:4-5 The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it. There has been darkness on every page of human history, but the last century saw darkness on a colossal scale. During the terrible dictatorships of Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot and Mao, many tens of millions of people were killed, but we have also seen horrifying amounts of abuse even within the Church. Every day, we hear stories of darkness, and we feel the weight of pain that is borne...

Today’s readings come from Proverbs 14:25-35, Acts 8:4-40, 2 Samuel 20 and 21

What does it mean “to have a relationship with God?” We hear that phrase a lot—do you ever wonder how it works? Is having a relationship with God like having a relationship with other people? In this study, Dr. McGee answers these questions and tells us more about the benefits of having relationships with other believers as well.

Sermon Overview

Scripture Passage: Psalm 128

Perhaps the most difficult and profoundly rewarding role a man could ever commit to is being a good Dad. The faith of our fathers is what leads our families through the minefield of today’s world.

Psalm 128 describes a faithful father in four ways.

First, it is his character.

If you fear God, you will walk in the way of God. Though we will inevitably make mistakes, we can be...
