He was at the Spark Media Awards that we talked about earlier, a couple of weeks ago, here on the show. He was there to do the keynote for the awards, and so he sent me this email at about, let me see, 6:04, my time. He said, "You won!!! I accepted on your behalf. Congratulations, Brother!"

So again, I just want to say thank you so much. My goodness! You went over there to Lifespringmedia.com/ignite and went to the link and you voted for the show. And I just wanted to say thank you.

Podcast Introduction







Today is Gospels Saturday. We’ll the complete the Gospels with chapters 27 and 28 of the Acts of the Apostles. This is the last episode of the Lifespring! One Year Bible. Yes, after 13 seasons, this is it. I’m calling this episode “A Call To Action.“

Summary







In Acts 27, we find Paul on a journey to Rome after appealing to Caesar. Despite facing a perilous storm at sea, Paul remained steadfast in his faith, assuring the crew that God had promised their safety. This message may have initially been met with skepticism, but as the storm raged on for two weeks, Paul's encouragement and actions brought hope. He urged everyone to eat and gave thanks to God, demonstrating his unwavering faith. This act filled the hearts of those on board with hope, emphasizing the power of hope in challenging times. It's a reminder that we can make a difference by being a source of hope for others, as I've experienced in my own life.







Moving on to Acts 28, we see Paul quoting a message from Isaiah to Jewish leaders in Rome. This message had been given to the Jewish people in the past as a warning from God due to their repeated rejection of Him. Paul's use of these verses signified that the Gospel, rejected by some, would now be shared with the Gentiles who would embrace it. This shows God's patience but also a point at which His patience wears thin.







Today, as we witness increasing moral decay and rejection of Christ in our world, it's crucial for believers to pray for divine intervention, for people's eyes to be opened, and for the salvation of our unsaved loved ones. The message is clear: now is the time to be bold and share the message of salvation, because time may be running out. We have the message of life, and we should not be afraid to share it with those around us who are in need of hope and salvation.

Podcast Introduction







Today is Prophecy Friday. We’ll the prophetic books with chapters 18-22 of the last book in the Bible, the book of Revelation. There’s a new voicemail that I think you’ll find interesting, and as I promised to James in Norway a couple of days ago, I’ll do a quick "Steve's Practical Guide to Quiet Time with the LORD” today. I’m calling this episode “The Final Chapters.“







Design: Jason Paschall | Photo: Victoria Priessnitz on Unsplash







Summary







In these final chapters of Revelation, significant events unfold. Chapter 19 begins with a celebration in heaven, where people thank God for bringing justice against Babylon and avenging those who believed in Jesus. It's a time of great joy and worship.







Next, there's the "wedding supper of the Lamb." The Lamb symbolizes Jesus, and His bride is the church, represented as people wearing fine white linen, signifying their righteousness through God's grace.







Then, Jesus, the King of Kings, appears on a white horse as the Faithful and True One, ready to judge and wage a just war. This highlights the idea that sometimes war can be necessary against incorrigible evil.







The narrative continues with a battle between the beast (antichrist) and the false prophet against Jesus, but they're defeated, and the rest are killed.







In Chapter 20, an angel imprisons Satan for a thousand years in the abyss during the "Millennium." Jesus rules Earth, and deceased believers reign with Him. Afterward, Satan is briefly released but is eventually cast into the eternal lake of fire.







The Great White Throne judgment follows, where everyone is judged. Those not in the book of life face eternal separation from God in the lake of fire, respecting their choice to reject Him.







Chapter 21 reveals a new heaven and earth, a glorious creation, where God dwells openly with us, ushering in an age of unparalleled joy. There's no sorrow, pain, decay, or sin, and we have glorified bodies, free from weaknesses.







The New Jerusalem is described, likely our future home with its twelve never-closing gates. While eternity includes worshipping God, there may also be other activities due to God's infinite creativity.







In essence, Jesus' sacrifice grants us an extraordinary eternity as His bride. Personally, after more than 69 years on Earth, I looking forward to this time. How about you?

Podcast Introduction







Today is Poetry Thursday. We’ll close this section of the Bible with chapters 7 and 8 of the Song of Solomon. I’m calling this episode “God's Inexplicable Love.“

Summary







In chapter 7 verse 10, where the bride declares her belonging to her beloved, I’m reminded of Sally Field's famous Oscar speech. Despite our failures, Jesus loves us, as  Romans 5:8 says.







Why would Jesus, being holy, love humanity so profoundly? 1 John 4:8 tells us why: God is love. It’s who He is.

Steve Webb 0:47Song of Solomon chapter seven is the lover to His Beloved. How beautiful are your sandaled feet Oh nobleman, his daughter. The curves of your thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a master craftsman. Your navel is around mixing bull. May it never lack mixed wine. Your belly is a mound of wheat encircled by lilies. Your two breasts are like two fawns. Twins have a gazelle. Your neck is like a tower made of ivory. Your eyes are the pools and hash Bong by the gate of Bath robbing. Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon overlooking Damascus. Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel the locks of your hair are like royal tapestries. The King is held captive in its dresses. How beautiful you are. How lovely oh love with your delights. Your stature is like a palm tree and your breasts are like clusters of grapes. I want to climb the palm tree and take hold of its fruit stalks. May your breasts be like the clusters of grapes? and may the fragrance of your breath be like apricots. May your mouth be like the best wine flowing smoothly for my beloved,

Podcast Introduction







Today is Psalms Wednesday. We’ll close this, the longest book of the Bible with chapters 149-150, and we’ll have our last prayer time together. I’m calling this episode “The Ultimate Encore.“

Summary







Chapters 149 and 150 are part of the Hallelujah Psalms, beginning and ending with praises to the Lord.







Psalm 149, like the other Hallelujah Psalms, lacks a specific title. It's a celebration of the joyful connection between God and His people, radiating the excitement of praising God together.







Psalm 150, the last in the book, offers a fitting conclusion with its exuberant praise. It invites all of creation to worship the Creator. This echoes the scenes of worship in the book of Revelation.







In Revelation, we glimpse heaven's worship, where countless beings from all nations and languages honor God.







Imagine a concert's finale, but on an unimaginable scale, where God's restoration brings endless celebration. With eternity at our disposal, we can worship and rejoice without end.







The closing Psalms offer a taste of the grand celebration awaiting us in God's presence. We'll declare, "Holy is the Lamb. Hallelujah! Great is the King of kings and Lord of lords!" It's a vision of eternal worship and awe in the presence of the Almighty.
