Luke 1: 1-5 // Ben Beasley

Everyone thinks about Christmas a little differently. This Christmas season, we’re on a journey to see Christmas through the eyes of faith. But this raises an important question: What happens when Christmas is NOT what you thought it would be? And what if it’s been like that for a while. How do we look at Christmas through faith when we’ve been trained in doubt?

Join us as we look at what God has for us today in the story of Zechariah in Luke 1.

In this Bible Story, Samson battles with a lion, breaks his vow as a Nazarite, and marries a Philistine woman. His foolishness costs him greatly, and his wife marries another man. This story is inspired by Judges 14. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.

Today's Bible verse is Judges 14:14 from the King James Version.

Episode 67: Samson, now a grown man, was walking around in the city of Timnah one day. He caught sight of a beautiful woman and immediately went back to his home to ask his parents to fetch her for him as a wife. On the way there a lion attacked Samson, but the Spirit of the Lord was upon him and he defeated the lion with his bare hands. In his pride, this became the perfect excuse to set up a riddle to place a bet and win himself 30 new garments at his wedding party. But we should be careful with what we say or do in moments of pride because just like Samson we might end up losing more than we imagine instead.

In this Bible Story, the great reign of David came to a close. Now Solomon rules over Israel with wisdom, mercy, and justice.

Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.

Today's Bible verse is 1 Kings 2:45 from the King James Version.

Episode 113: As David is dying, he calls in his son Solomon to bless him and speak God’s promises over him. David instructs him on what he should do with Joab and Shimei and requests that he show kindness to Barzillai of Gilead. But Adonijah was not done trying for the throne. He made a request of Bathsheba that Solomon rightly discerned as a claim to the throne. And so as per their agreement, he was executed. Solomon sought to rule his kingdom in fairness and enacted punishments that showed mercy to those who deserved death.

What would you be willing to leave behind in order to go forward into a future of purpose, meaning, potential, and passion—a life that holds everything that God has for you? Maybe it’s letting go of a job you’ve long since outgrown or an unhealthy “friendship” you’ve had since childhood. Or perhaps it is simply the comfortable routines you’ve settled into over the years, or some bad habits you’ve thought about quitting too many times. Whatever it is you might need to leave behind, living with a heart that’s torn between what we had in the past and where we long to go in our future leads only to one place—stuck right where we are. This episode will empower you to identify the parts of your past that are holding you back and stir up the courage to let go and the passion to go farther than you’ve ever gone before—do what you’ve never done and go where you’ve never been.

What plans and dreams did you have for this year that haven’t come to fruition? I think it’s safe to say that this has been a year of disappointment and discouragement for so many of us. It’s a year that has tried to steal our hope and threatened to throw us completely off course. But if we keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, in spite of whatever chaos is swirling around us, we will always catch a glimpse of hope. This episode will empower you with the promise that, with God, hope is always on the horizon so you can keep stepping forward in faith no matter how hopeless your situation may seem in the natural.

What are you declaring in your life? Do your words focus on the fear and doubt you see or do they focus on the joy and hope God offers even when we can’t see it? There is power in the words we speak and when we choose, by faith, to declare God’s truth found in his Word, we have an opportunity to be part of transforming our world, our relationships, and ourselves. This episode will empower you to activate the promises of God in your life by declaring the truth of his Word over yourself and your circumstances.
