Would you like to have some good friends? Pastor Colin talks about 3 things you can do, from the book of Proverbs.

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.

In his message “Advancing through Adversity,” Pastor Jack Graham continues a study on the life of Joseph, who was born a favorite son yet suffered at the hands of his envious brothers and many others. Pastor Graham teaches that Joseph is the classic example of someone who responded with faithfulness to God and his convictions in spite of the circumstances in his life.

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.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that contentment is something we learn. We don’t naturally become content, we practice it by reading God’s Word and applying it to our lives, and through choosing gratitude over complaining.

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.

Sometimes, a simple phone call becomes more than a request for help. It becomes a picture of the body of Christ at work.

A few months ago, a listener named Renee from North Carolina called the show during a difficult season. As a widow raising her special-needs grandchildren on a fixed income, she was carrying a heavy burden. Medical bills were mounting, daily expenses were rising, and her grandchildren's needs were increasing.

Renee later described that season as a time when she felt she was “running out of options.” There was only so much money avai...

So how do you know if a tradition has gone dark? Join Chip and find out.

Many people imagine God’s love as something like a kindly grandfather—affable, lenient, and unbothered by sin. But this misunderstanding cheapens love rather than exalts it. God’s love is not soft. It is fierce and purposeful. 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. Let the depth of God’s love move you. Understand it clearly, receive it fully, and let it reshape how you see yourself and others!

Where does the pursuit of wisdom begin? Proverbs tells us that “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.”

The Bible Bus takes a quick detour from the story of Joseph as we follow the line of Judah. Together we’ll hear more about Judah, his three children (Er, Onan, and Shelah), and meet Tamar, the chosen wife for Er who tricks Judah and gives birth to twins, Pharez and Zerah. It’s a tale of deceit and wickedness that serves as a warning to all of us today, but also a story of God’s redemption plan.

Continuing in the series “Advancing through Adversity,” Pastor Jack Graham looks to the story of Joseph and how the providence of God was working in response to his obedience. In all the seasons of Joseph’s life – in the good and bad days and when his dreams turned to nightmares – God was with him.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that discontentment doesn’t stay small. It grows into complaining, bitterness and sadly, a lack of gratitude. But, at its core, discontentment shows a lack of trust in God and knowing that He wants what's best for us.

Temptation is not a side issue—it’s a daily war for your soul. In this urgent message, Dr. Michael Youssef teaches from James 1 that true saving faith shows up in real life: it resists sin instead of surrendering to it.

Dr. Youssef pulls back the curtain on the battle of the mind, where Satan seeks to numb, deceive, and destroy. But God’s Word is clear: God does not tempt us—He delivers us. The problem is not God’s faithfulness; it’s our excuses. This episode calls believers to stop rationalizing sin, stop blaming others, and take the...
