When I was young, I loved going to Chick-fil-A, a US-based fast-food restaurant, for waffle fries and sweet tea. When, as an adult, I moved to another state, I was shocked to discover there weren’t any locations for hundreds of miles! On family road trips, we’d even plan our routes to allow for stops at Chick-fil-A, all the while hoping someday one would open closer to home.

God uses empty hands. In Exodus 29, we see God consecrate Aaron and his sons. Dr. McGee shows us that consecration is “to come to God with empty hands, confess our weakness, our inability, and let God do the rest.” Discover how God uses imperfect, empty-handed Aaron as a symbol of Christ.
Anne shares about sin, Heaven, eternity, salvation, and a relationship with Jesus from John 20:17.
Not everyone who assumes they are going to Heaven will enter the Kingdom of God. Teaching from Luke 13, Dr. Michael Youssef explains Jesus’ warning about the narrow gate. Salvation cannot be inherited through family background, earned through good works, or claimed through outward religion. The call is personal and urgent: repent and place your faith in the saving work of Jesus Christ. Jesus warns that many who presume they belong will one day find themselves shut out, while repentant sinners from every nation will enter God’s Kingdom with joy. This episode calls listeners to: Examine the foundation of their faith, Reject false assurance, Repent without delay, Trust in Christ alone for salvation, Take seriously the reality of judgment and hell, Intercede urgently for those who remain lost. The narrow gate is still open, but it will not remain open forever. Now is the time to turn to Christ, believe the Gospel, and rest in His saving grace. Scripture Focus: Luke 13:22-35 If today’s teaching stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don’t have to walk through it alone.

Theologian Dorothy Sayers once wrote, “Work is not primarily a thing one does to live, but the thing one lives to do.” That challenges the way many of us think about our jobs. We often see work primarily as a way to earn a paycheck, provide for our families, or make it to retirement. But Scripture gives us a much bigger vision. From the first pages of the Bible to the last, Scripture does not present work as a necessary evil. It is woven into what it means to bear God's image. And whether our work is paid or unpaid, public or unnoticed, Scripture invites us to offer it to God as an act of worship. Work Was Good Before It Was Hard Sometimes we speak about work as though it were a consequence of the fall. But work existed before sin ever entered the world. Genesis 2:15 says, “The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it.” Adam was given meaningful responsibility in a world God repeatedly called good. Work was part of humanity’s original purpose. What changed after the fall was not the existence of work but our experience of it. Genesis 3 describes thorns and thistles, painful toil, and the frustration that would now accompany human labor. Work remained good, but it became difficult. We still experience those thorns today: projects that fail, difficult coworkers, exhaustion, inefficiency, layoffs, broken systems, and days when our efforts seem to produce very little fruit. Yet Scripture’s story does not end there. Redemption reaches every part of our lives, including how we understand and practice our work. And the Bible’s final picture is not one of eternal inactivity. Revelation 22 says that God’s servants will serve Him and “reign forever and ever.” The world to come is marked by meaningful service under the rule of Christ. Work was good in the beginning, and meaningful service remains part of the future God is preparing for His people. The Spirit at Work in a Craftsman One of Scripture’s most striking pictures of work appears in Exodus 31. When God commands Israel to build the tabernacle, He chooses a man named Bezalel for the task. God says: “I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with ability and intelligence, with knowledge and all craftsmanship.” - Exodus 31:3 That is remarkable. The first person Scripture explicitly describes as being “filled” with the Spirit of God is not being equipped to preach a sermon or lead an army. He is being equipped to create. Bezalel would work with gold, silver, bronze, stone, wood, and fabric. His craftsmanship mattered because God Himself had entrusted that work to him. That should expand the way we think about serving God. Faithfulness is not limited to what happens inside a church building. A teacher grading papers, an accountant reviewing numbers, a carpenter building a home, a parent caring for children, or a volunteer serving meals can all honor God through faithful work. God cares not only that work gets done, but also how it gets done. Whatever You Do, Work for the Lord Paul makes this explicit in Colossians 3:23–24: “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men…You are serving the Lord Christ.” Notice the breadth of those words: “Whatever you do.” That means no tasks are insignificant just because they seem ordinary. The spreadsheet matters. The dishes matter. The phone call matters. The diaper change matters. The meeting matters. The quiet act of caring for an aging parent matters. Not because every task is glamorous, but because we can offer every task to Christ. That changes our motivation. We no longer have to work primarily for applause, recognition, promotion, or comparison. Excellence can become an act of love rather than a strategy for proving our worth. Our value does not rise and fall with our job title. Our identity is secure in Christ. That freedom allows us
Sadly, there are many people in churches today who are absolutely certain they’ve received salvation, when the truth is, they’ve embraced an inaccurate or incomplete gospel. Or, they’ve heard the true gospel, but there’s no evidence of a transformed life. Could one of those scenarios describe you? John MacArthur helps clear up misconceptions about salvation in his classic study called Salvation Survey.
