The Light

Spiritual growth often begins when we stop looking outward and allow God to examine what is happening within us. It can be easy to recognize the faults, habits, and struggles of others while overlooking the areas where God is inviting us to grow. Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 7 reminds us that true transformation starts with humility, self-reflection, and a willingness to let God reveal our own blind spots.

Intersecting Faith & Life:
Consider these questions as you reflect on your own spiritual growth:

Jesus Christ calls us to a radically counter-cultural way of life—and to a radically counter-cultural new community. Belonging to Jesus—and representing him—has profound practical implications for relationships within the home and the workplace. The challenges of this are great, but the benefits are profound, and the beauty is unparalleled in the world around us.

I'm a new believer and keep hearing mixed messages about our security in Christ. Can we lose our salvation or not? When we sin as believers, do we need to repent? My parents have a friend who is constantly having dreams about people dying. How should we look at those dreams?

Today’s readings come from Psalm 75, Acts 13:13-41, 1 Kings 6:1-7:22

Our story of Joseph continues in Pharaoh's prison, where his new cellmates are the baker and butler. Each has strange dreams that Joseph interprets. Although his interpretations prove correct, Joseph continues to languish in prison.

Anyone can love people who are easy to love. But genuine faith shows up when the person is difficult, the wound is real, and the cost is high. In this sobering message from James 2, Dr. Michael Youssef confronts favoritism, compromise, and intimidation—reminding believers that Biblical faith does not bend to wealth, power, or approval.

Dr. Youssef points to God’s standard: the royal law—to love God fully and love others sacrificially. This love is not sentiment. It is obedience. And it is only possible through the indwelling Holy Spirit, who empowers believers to show mercy the wa...

On this episode, David Wollen returns to John 9 to examine the responses to Jesus and the remarkable faith of the man who boldly declared, “Lord, I believe.”

In a world that is absolutely obsessed with appearance and image, how can you keep it real when everybody else is faking it? In this broadcast, Pastor Rick gives you the most important thing you need to care about if you want to be a person of integrity.

The gospel didn't begin at Calvary — it was preached to Abraham four thousand years ago. In this episode, Dr. John takes on the Judaizers' challenge head-on, showing from Galatians 3:6–14 that there has always been only one way to be saved: not by works of the law, but by faith in the promises of a God who never changes.

Acts 2:17-20

Never think that because something is invisible it is therefore unimportant or weak. Just think of gravity—where would we be without it? The Holy Spirit is the same. He energizes, motivates, comforts, and gives discernment. The Holy Spirit is our spiritual fuel.

When we invite God to “open our eyes,” we’re acknowledging something important: the Bible isn’t just understood through effort alone, but through relationship. The Holy Spirit brings insight where familiarity has dulled our attention and breathes life into verses we thought we already knew. Suddenly, Scripture becomes less like a checklist and more like conversation—one where God is still speaking, still revealing, still shaping how we see Him, ourselves, and the world around us.

Highlights:

In Christ, we are brought into a new kind of community—and called into a new way of relating to the people of God. These relationships are shaped by the gospel and enabled by God Himself. In these verses, Paul sets out a framework for healthy and life-giving Christian community. In an age where we see so much dysfunction within churches, here is a model we need to learn and a message we need to hear.

Psalm 46 says God is our refuge. Today’s episode is all about seeing this truth in real women’s stories. Listeners share, applying what they’ve learned from this series.

Is suicide an unforgivable sin? What does it mean to stand on the promises of God? What are they? What does Jesus mean by "giving us His glory" in John 17?

Today’s readings come from Psalm 74:18-23, Acts 12:19-13:12, 1 Kings 3:16-5:18

Nicole Crank joins us to reveal how to find your purpose by not wasting the wait, surrendering to God, and stepping into the life He designed for you. (J2799_FFT)

God’s plan and purpose for our lives isn’t always what we’d choose, but He is always faithful. That’s the lesson we’ll learn as we continue to follow the life of Joseph. We pick up as Joseph is sold to Potiphar, an officer of Pharoah. While overseeing Potiphar’s house, Potiphar’s wife tries to seduce him. Although Joseph refuses, the woman covers up her own sin by framing Joseph. As our study closes, Joseph is thrown in jail.

Listening to Biblical Truth is not the finish line—it’s the starting point. In this convicting message from James 1, Dr. Michael Youssef makes it clear: genuine faith is proven by obedience. God’s Word must be received with humility, planted deep by the Holy Spirit, and lived out in daily life.

Dr. Youssef exposes the danger of shallow Christianity—religious activity without repentance, performance without transformation. The Word of God is a mirror: it exposes sin, confronts excuses, and demands change. Anything less than obedience is not spiritual maturity—it is self-deception.

On this episode, David Wollen looks at this remarkable miracle and what it teaches us about spiritual blindness, faith, and seeing Jesus for who He really is.

Most people think mercy means forgiving people who don't deserve it or helping people who can't help themselves. Those are two definitions of mercy, but Pastor Rick wants you to understand through this message the many facets of mercy so that you can apply them to your relationships.

It's surprisingly easy to drift from the truth — not through obvious sin, but through the persuasive pull of a compelling teacher. In this episode, Dr. John walks through Paul's five searching questions in Galatians 3:1–6, challenging the Galatians — and us — to examine whether we're still standing on the solid ground of faith, or have slowly been talked out of it.

No Compromise: The book of Galatians was written because the gospel was under attack — and it still is today. From false teachers in ancient Galatia to the distortions we encounter in our own time, the battle over the heart of th...

Many amazing, supernatural miracles performed by Jesus are documented in the New Testament. So what did He mean when He said His followers will do the works He did—and greater works than these? Explore the answer along with Alistair Begg on Truth For Life.

Selected Scriptures / June 16-17, 2026

Weaving through Deuteronomy 7, John 3, and 1 John 4, Pastor Chuck Swindoll explores why God chose to love an undeserving people—not because of who they were, but because of who He is. The cross stands as the ultimate proof.

Isaiah 64:8

Something everyone agrees on is the key in life is change. And it’s not optional. Think about the last 10 years—you’re not the same person, are you? In fact, your life today compared to then probably doesn’t even resemble each other. That’s because of change.

Romans 8:16 anchors the believer’s identity in a powerful truth: through the Holy Spirit, we are affirmed as children of God. In this devotional, Cindi McMenamin unpacks what it means to live from that identity rather than slipping back into fear, anxiety, and emotional chaos. When life feels overwhelming, it’s easy to function as if we are spiritually alone, but Scripture reminds us that believers are fully adopted, fully known, and fully secured in God’s family.

Why does Paul mention "childbirth" in 1 Timothy 2? And how is that related to being "saved"? Is it okay for pastors to use artificial intelligence to write their sermons? What about as a resource? Were fallen angels having relations with women in Genesis 6? If so, are they still around?
