With respectful awe, Pastor Chuck Swindoll takes a close look at one of the most moving scenes in the Gospels—Mary anointing Jesus with precious perfume. Learn from Mary’s example about the eternal value of loving acting with extravagant love, no matter the cost.
If you could be any animal, which one would you choose? No one ever chooses to be a sheep, and yet that’s how we’re described in the Bible. We are all like sheep needing a shepherd. And we have one—Jesus Christ. He guides, protects, and keeps us in the right rut.
When your life goes sideways and bad things happen, it’s easy to question God’s love. But it doesn’t make it less true. God loves us, even when life doesn’t make sense.
Follow Christ’s example and submit to the love of the Father. Listen in as Pastor Chuck urges each of us to turn from our selfish ways, take up our cross, and follow Jesus.
When you worry, it’s like you’re carrying around a heavy burden. You’re weighed down with anxiety and you can’t think clearly. Wouldn’t it be so much easier to give your burdens and worries over to God? He says He’ll take it and will give you peace in return. That’s a pretty good exchange.
You know what causes stress? Anxiety. Do you know how to rid your life of anxiety? Rest. Resting in Christ is the quickest way to rid your life of harmful stress. “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.”
If you want to relax and get rid of anxiety, you need to lighten up. Are you typically harsh or critical? Try cultivating a more gentle and understanding approach to life. “Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near.”
Join Pastor Chuck Swindoll in his study of Daniel 6 as he looks to the example of one Jewish exile to see what true integrity looks like. Examine how the presence of uncompromising character leads to wisdom and carries a faithful servant of God through a lifetime of fruitful ministry.
Just when you think you have everything planned perfectly...something happens to change everything. It’s a good reminder that none of us know what the future holds. There’s a bigger plan unfolding...God’s plan.
With inspiration from Psalm 95:1–7, Pastor Chuck Swindoll observes some key reasons why believers are called to worship. Keep first things first as you love and serve God.
