    "Praise and Adoration" | Magnify The Lord!

    SCRIPTURE: Luke 1:46-55 SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God.  A prayer of praise from the biblical Gospel of Luke, where Mary "magnifies" or glorifies God for His power, mercy, and faithfulness. The focus is on God's greatness, with Mary exalting Him for choosing her to bear the Messiah and for His promise to lift the humble and lowly while bringing down the proud and rich.  And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for He has looked on the humble estate of His servant. Behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed; for He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name.” Luke 1:46-49  Mary’s soul praises and magnifies God’s greatness and His plan for the world through her submission, even amid her confusion. The Magnificat encourages believers to praise God and join in His work of reconciliation and restoration in all aspects of our lives.  We see God as He truly is—exalted and above all. He is mighty, and His name is holy! SONG: "The Song of Mary | The Magnificat in Aramaic and English" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcJRX946AGg&list=RDEsUWG2axB3w&index=18

    "Praise and Adoration" | Favor With God

    SCRIPTURE: Luke 1:26-38  SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God.  Praise and Adoration. People and Angels. Angels are a key part of the Christmas story, appearing as messengers of God. When Zechariah was ministering in the Holy Place, the angel Gabriel appeared to announce the birth of a son to Zechariah and his wife, Elizabeth (Luke 1:18-19).  Once again, the angel Gabriel appears to deliver God’s message in the town of Nazareth to a young virgin named Mary.   "In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary." Luke 1:26-27  Gabriel greeted Mary with an unusual greeting. You are the favored one. The Lord is with you. Luke tells his readers that Mary was deeply troubled. "And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.” Luke 1:30  Mary was chosen to be the mother of the promised Son. The angel told her that His name would be Jesus. He will be great, Jesus, the Son of the Most High. Mary’s response to the God’s messenger is an example for all of us today.  "And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her." Luke 1:38  SONG: "Come Thou Long Expected Jesus" - https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=ez6QPDpgzXI

    "Praise and Adoration" | Shout Joyfully!

    SCRIPTURE: Psalm 100 SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God.  How should we praise the Lord? Why are we commanded to praise Him? The Psalms guide us in this vital part of worship. Specifically, Psalm 100 is a hymn of worship that urges us to thank and praise the Lord.  "Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth. Serve the Lord with gladness; come before Him with joyful singing." Psalm 100:1-2  The psalmist calls for “all the earth” to come before the Great King. The nations must recognize that the Lord is God through His grace and blessings, which sustain His people’s existence. Submission to His rule comes from a joyful and grateful response to His covenant promises. The "gladness" reflects the joy of living in harmony with the Creator, Redeemer, and King.  SONG: "Shout to the Lord"- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XX6Bv2LzmE&list=RD6XX6Bv2LzmE&start_radio=1

    "Praise and Adoration" | Give Wholeheartedly!

    SCRIPTURE: 1 Chronicles 29:1-20   SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God.  King David calls the entire assembly to gather in Jerusalem. He contributed from his personal wealth to help build the temple and encouraged others to do the same.  "Now with all my ability I have provided for the house of my God, the treasure I have … I give to the house of my God, over and above all that I have already provided for the holy temple." 1 Chronicles 29:2-3  The people gave their gifts wholeheartedly. Their hearts were filled with a genuine spirit of worship. David praises God in response to the people’s devotion to the Lord.  "O Lord our God, all this abundance that we have provided to build You a house for Your holy name, it is from Your hand, and all is Yours. Since I know, O my God, that You try the heart and delight in uprightness, I, in the integrity of my heart, have willingly offered all these things; so now with joy I have seen Your people, who are present here, make their offerings willingly to You." 1 Chronicles 29:16-17  SONG: "The Lord Almighty Reigns" –  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TdEZXPuKOo&list=RD2TdEZXPuKOo&start_radio=1

    "The Power Of Prayer" | Blessed Revelation!

    SCRIPTURE: Revelation 1:1-8 SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God.  The book of Revelation starts with a greeting and a blessing that blend elements of prayer and doxology. These verses strongly praise Jesus Christ (verses 5-6), and verse 7 offers a prophetic statement about His second coming.  "John to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne." Revelation 1:4  The apostle John (the disciple Jesus loved) is addressing actual, historical churches. He speaks to them in the same way as the New Testament letters. These seven churches represent those from every era since the first century and show common patterns of obedience and disobedience.  "Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. So, it is to be. Amen." Revelation 1:7  SONG: "He Who Is To Come" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnmjTuglwGU&list=RDUnmjTuglwGU&start_radio=1

    "The Power Of Prayer" | All Glory to Him

    SCRIPTURE: Jude 1:20-25  SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God.  A short letter at the end of the New Testament was written by Jude, the half-brother of Jesus, to early Christian believers. Jude finishes this brief epistle with a powerful benediction.  "But you, dear friends, must build each other up in your most holy faith, pray in the power of the Holy Spirit, and await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will bring you eternal life. In this way, you will keep yourselves safe in God’s love." Jude 1:20-21  This greeting highlights Jude’s personal message and his desire for these believers to strengthen their spiritual walk with God. He encourages them to grow in their faith—praying in the Holy Spirit, remaining in God's love, and eagerly awaiting Jesus's mercy.  Jude urges us to persevere, and he encourages his readers to keep the hope of the Lord in sight. We have only a short time to wait before we see Jesus, so we must stay faithful to Him.  "Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen." Jude 1:24-25  SONG: "Come Thou Fount" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKOoeTbjSeI&list=RDXKOoeTbjSeI&start_radio=1

    "The Power Of Prayer" | Fervent Prayer

    SCRIPTURE: James 5:13-18  SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God.  The Lord encourages us to pray for others and to dedicate time to pray for those who are hurting, struggling, or feeling discouraged. We can thank the Lord for the victories, gifts, and spiritual blessings in each other’s lives. We are meant to support one another. Pray for each other. Celebrate and rejoice together.  "Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise." James 5:13  James shares this: “The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” What a wonderful privilege! Effective prayer is characterized by earnestness, fervor, and energy to bring about results, as shown in the following verses' case study.  "Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth. Then he prayed again, and heaven gave rain, and the earth bore its fruit." James 5:17-18 Practice to become a powerful prayer person:  ·      Pray with others.  ·      Pray with fervency.  ·      Pray with faith.  SONG: "In Jesus Name" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VukxLl6HLE

    "The Power Of Prayer" | Endurance and Faithfulness

    SCRIPTURE: 2 Thessalonians 1:3-12  SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God.  The Apostle Paul traveled across Asia Minor and into Europe on three main missionary journeys. During his second trip (Acts 16:23-20:38), he visited Thessalonica and Corinth. The first epistles Paul ever wrote were those to the church he had established in Thessalonica, Macedonia. These were written from Corinth (Acts 18:1-18), shortly after Paul had left Thessalonica.  "Dear brothers and sisters, we can’t help but thank God for you, because your faith is flourishing and your love for one another is growing. We proudly tell God’s other churches about your endurance and faithfulness in all the persecutions and hardships you are suffering." 1 Thessalonians 1:3-4  Paul had previously been concerned about their faith and love for each other. In this second letter, he praises them for their growing faith and the increasing love they share. Paul also told others about their faithful perseverance through hardship, suffering, and persecution.  When we examine early Church history, we gain a clearer understanding. What did believers in Jerusalem and Judea experience after Jesus Christ ascended to heaven? The Jewish religious leaders did not want “The Way” to spread and grow. A man named Saul persecuted them, having some arrested and thrown into prison. This man became Paul after his conversion on the road to Damascus. He personally knew that the church grew during persecution, which makes it even more remarkable.  "So, we keep on praying for you, asking our God to enable you to live a life worthy of His call. May He give you the power to accomplish all the good things your faith prompts you to do." 2 Thessalonians 1:11  Paul and his companions prayed that the Thessalonians would continue to be purified through their trials rather than stray from the truth. Suffering and persecution can be a great blessing from God and can bring much glory to our Lord Jesus Christ, both now and in the future.
