    Ep 190: From Foot Washing To Fear - Peter Relives The Night Jesus Was Taken ('PETE' Part 1)

    Send us Fan Mail "Today On Plays on Word Radio, we step into Peter’s story through 'PETE,' exploring Jesus’ Last Supper, Gethsemane, betrayal, denial, crucifixion, and resurrection. How does Peter’s restoration speak to you?" We walk back into Peter’s memory of the Last Supper, the garden, the arrest, and the moment he denies Jesus and breaks under the weight of it. We also follow the story through the cross, the sealed tomb, the empty grave, the Emmaus road, and Jesus standing among us with real peace. • Returning to the 'PETE' play and why it matters now • Jesus washing feet as the model for serving one another • Betrayal named at the table and Judas leaving into the night • The bread and cup as the new covenant • The promise of the Holy Spirit as Counselor and Spirit of truth • Gethsemane sorrow, repeated prayer, and the disciples falling asleep • The arrest, the sword, and Jesus healing Malchus • Peter warming by the fire and denying Jesus three times • Crucifixion, burial, and the grief of the darkest Sabbath • The empty tomb, folded grave clothes, and the question of what happened • Emmaus, hearts burning, and recognizing Jesus in the breaking of bread • Jesus appearing in the room, speaking peace, and eating fish.

    Ep 189: Envy Or Contentment

    Send us Fan Mail "Envy quietly steals joy, distorts God’s goodness, and damages relationships. Scripture exposes its danger through Rachel, Leah, Saul, and others, while teaching contentment, gratitude, and trust in God’s provision. Are you comparing anything in your life with others instead of recognizing God’s goodness?" We walk through how envy works in the human heart and why Scripture treats it as a serious spiritual danger, not a small personality issue. We also build a practical path toward contentment in Christ through Genesis, Paul’s letters, Proverbs, and a simple gratitude challenge when life is hard. • Transitioning into the Genesis 'JOE' season and why dramatized Scripture still carries real spiritual power • Expository preaching as a way to let the Word set the agenda and confront hard topics • Rachel and Leah as a clear picture of envy, jealousy, and discontent inside a family • Biblical examples of envy in Cain and Abel, Saul and David, and the Pharisees toward Jesus • Jealousy versus envy and why they are closely related but not identical • Envy versus admiration and how to check what is happening in our hearts • Contentment as “great gain” and why desire for riches becomes a snare • Money as a tool and the danger of letting money have us • Proverbs 30 on neither poverty nor riches and the spiritual risks of having too much • Thanking God in trials because He is with us even when feelings say otherwise  Please click on the underlined links throughout.  If you want to get the devotion mentioned, click underlined link below: 📬 Truth to Carry Through Your Day — Daily Devotion Sign-Up! 📖  Click Here!  Genesis 'JOE' @ Calvary Chapel Southport — https://playsonword.networkforgood.com/events/105117-26-genesis-joe-11-14-6-30pm-sat-show-1-man-biblical-play-calvary-chapel-southport-oak-island-moose-lodge-banquet-hall-nc To find out more, check out our website at playsonword.org.

    Ep 188: Gettysburg Still Teaches Us How To Fight (Part 2)

    Send us Fan Mail "Gettysburg's battlefield becomes a classroom for Christian courage, spiritual warfare, and leadership as Pastor Cliff Whitehead connects Civil War stories, Lincoln, Scripture, Job, and 9/11 to eternal perspectives. Are you ready to fight the good fight of faith?" We turn Gettysburg from a history stop into a mirror for Christian courage, spiritual alertness, and leadership under fire. We wrestle with mercy and judgment in Lincoln’s words, then challenge ourselves to pray with an eternal focus instead of chasing comfort. • Lincoln’s Second Inaugural and the shift toward mercy and shared guilt under God’s judgment • The Gettysburg itinerary, the walk through town, the cemeteries, and reading the Gettysburg Address at the true location • Why primary sources and pre-Google research produce better teaching and deeper insight • Opening the door for other pastors to host Gettysburg and Lincoln trips through their own churches • Battleground versus playground thinking, staying sober-minded, and catching temptation early • Defensive prayers versus offensive prayers, aiming requests at God’s will and eternal outcomes • Henry Bergwin’s story, a family’s faith, and viewing death through the lens of salvation and eternity • A caution about ghost tours, the occult, and treating Gettysburg with respect • The July 3 cannonade timeline and why the sound carried as far as Philadelphia Please click on the underlined links throughout.

    Send us Fan Mail "Gettysburg's battlefield becomes a classroom for Christian courage, spiritual warfare, and leadership as Pastor Cliff Whitehead connects Civil War stories, Lincoln, Scripture, Job, and 9/11 to eternal perspectives. Are you ready to fight the good fight of faith?" We invite Pastor Cliff Whitehead back to talk about upcoming Gettysburg retreats that blend Civil War history with Scripture and spiritual warfare training.

    Ep 186: Proof God Loves You Is Not A Feeling (Part 2)

    Send us Fan Mail "Fear, cancer, and suffering collide as Pastor Tom Jencsik shares how God transformed a lymphoma diagnosis into a testimony of hope. How can fixing our eyes on Jesus change the way we face pain, fear, and uncertainty?" Today we talk about what it means to keep praising God when life gets painful, and how real hope holds up when the world feels unstable. We share how Scripture on stage, suffering in the body, and Jesus as our mediator all point to the same steady truth: God is present and still at work. • Bringing the people and events of Scripture to life through Plays on Word Theater & Radio and why people often see before they hear • Finding yourself in Peter’s story and letting that produce hope instead of shame • Holding onto Christian hope amid global conflict and cultural chaos • Living with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and learning to say “this is the Lord’s” • Praying with credibility when you can honestly say “I was there” • Jesus as the High Priest and mediator Who understands suffering firsthand • Discovering ministry opportunities even during treatment and hospital visits To find out more, check out our website at playsonword.org  Please click on the underlined links throughout.

    Send us Fan Mail "Worship can reach where arguments cannot. Today, Pastor Tom Jencsik shares his journey from religion to a personal faith, exploring assurance in Christ, biblical identity, worship, and why the cross remains our confidence. What truth about your identity in Christ encourages you most?" We talk about how worship can move faith from familiar to real, and how Jesus meets us with assurance when our feelings wobble. Pastor Tom shares his journey from a lifelong Catholic background to a moment in worship that changed everything, then we trace what it means to live as who God says we are. • East Gate Calvary Fellowship and why the name points to Scripture and Jesus’ return • A testimony shaped by worship rather than an altar call moment • Why assurance grows when we look at the cross instead of our moods • Communion as a regular reset back to Jesus’ finished work • Identity in Christ through clear biblical statements about who we are • Plays on the Word Theater and why typology helps people see Jesus in the whole Bible • Hope and steady purpose in a world full of conflict and noise  Please click on the underlined links throughout.

    Ep 184: Genesis and The Software of Life - Why Creation Points To God

    Send us Fan Mail "Today we will discover how Isaiah 48:16 points to Jesus, explore whether creation reveals a Designer, and learn practical ways to stay consistent in Bible reading. Which verse has most changed how you see God?" We go back to “before the beginning” to show why Scripture presents God as the uncaused first cause and the intentional Designer of reality. We connect creation, meaning, and daily life to Jesus as the living Word, then land on practical ways to keep reading when the Bible feels hard. • Why starting with “In the beginning, God” steadies theology • The uncaused first cause and why every effect demands a cause • The watchmaker logic and why design implies a designer • The computer-in-a-box illustration and the “software problem” • Why a Designer changes meaning, purpose, and how we live • The Bible as God’s manual and why it is “alive and active” • Jesus as the Word in John 1 and the One Scripture testifies about • Seeing Christ throughout the Old Testament • Isaiah 48:16 as a clear window into the Trinity • Getting through hard books like Ezekiel with audio plus reading • The mindset shift from “I have to” to “I get to” • Praying for hunger for God’s Word and consistency day by day To find out more, check out our website at playsonword.org.

    Send us Fan Mail "Today we continue to explore filtering everything through Christ’s cross, renewing your mind, and letting the Holy Spirit transform your responses.Again, what comes out when you're under pressure?" God’s love stops being abstract when we look at the cross, where Christ dies for us while we are still sinners.
