Hope For Today

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is good news! Christ died for sinners. What better news is there to share? When we accept God's gift of His one and only son, we enter into a right and eternal relationship with God the Father. Sharing the Gospel of Christ is not mechanical, argumentative, or combative, but rather lavished with the love that Jesus Christ has poured out onto us. Romans 1:16 says, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile." (NIV). What is your testimony of being pursued by the love of God? How did He gently usher you into His fold? When is the last time you shared your testimony? Join us Tuesday, July 23, 2019, at 3:30 PM, PDT. We will explore evangelism and take a deeper dive into the Scriptures to present a case for Christ.

God's voice is easily detectable. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? When we read the Bible, a red-letter edition helps us know when Jesus is speaking. But what about when we're not reading God's word? How does God speak to us then? Is His voice a soft whisper or resounding boom? How can we be sure if it's really God speaking? The key is following Him, not just hearing and knowing His voice. John 10:27 says, "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me." We should be ready to hear, know and respond to the voice of God, especially when He asks us to do something for Him. We must get to that place where we respond without reservation! Join us Tuesday, July 9, 2019, at 3:30 PM, PDT.  We will explore knowing the voice of God and why we should value sitting at the feet of Jesus.

Each morning I awaken is a gift from God!  At the top of the hour, 6:00 am, I am getting out of bed. Most of the time I'm eager to give God my first few seconds, minutes or hours. On a good day when I arise, I pray and give thanks for another day and welcome what lies ahead. I ask God to order my steps. My desire is to give Him my first fruit of another day. In complete honesty, I don't always approach my mornings like that. What about you? We know our mornings can be consumed with what we want and feel are important – coffee, tea, newspaper, breakfast, TV, radio, spouse, children, etc. What is the advantage of spending the first seconds, minutes or hours, of our morning with Jesus? Lamentations 3:22-24, says "Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. The Lord is my portion says my soul, therefore I will hope in Him" (NIV) Join us Tuesday, June 11, 2019, at 3:30 PM, PDT. We will explore how mornings with Jesu

I remember most of the childhood nursery rhymes, such as "Baa Baa Black Sheep", "A-Tisket, A-Tasket", "Georgie Porgie", and "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush", just to name a few. As kids when playing in a large group, it was necessary to pare down the group. The fairest way to do that was to use the counting rhyme "Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe" to choose someone or count them out. I am so glad our Heavenly Father does not use a nursery rhyme to chose his people. I am also very thankful that God does not act randomly. We serve a God who is all-knowing, who ordains, who governs, who is just, and never fails. Ephesians 1:4 says, "For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight." (NKJV) Join us Tuesday, May 28, 2019, at 3:30 PM, PDT. We will explore how to join God in His choices for us and how to engage Him in the selection processes we face throughout our journey in life.

Women are unique! God has given us great responsibilities. Just think, we get to experience being daughters, sisters, wives, mothers, aunts, and grandmothers. God's Word graciously instructs us on widowhood, modesty, conduct that is "becoming", and authority.  What is required of us to realize God's plan for our lives? Short answer --God's wisdom and a heart of obedience. Years ago, I memorized this Scripture, "The wise woman builds her house, but the foolish woman tears it down with her own hands." Proverbs 14:1 (NIV). That verse sums it up. It speaks volumes. Women, we can either build our house or tear it down. Which will it be? Join us Tuesday, May 7, 2019, at 3:30 PM, PDT.We will explore the qualities, notable characteristics, and weaknesses of Miriam in the Bible. She was the sister of Moses and Aaron.

I recently returned from a 10-day tour in Egypt. It was spectacular! The itinerary was full of all the main tourist attractions in Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and Kom Ombo/Edfu. As well as, a three-day cruise on the Nile. I got to stand on the grounds of ancient history with all its unexplained mysteries. I couldn't begin to comprehend it all without going back to the Bible. It was there that I was reminded of how Egypt played a critical role in the history of the children of Israel. The children of Israel spent at least 400 years in Egypt. According to Genesis 15:12-13, Abram fell into a deep sleep and in verse 13 Scripture says, Then the Lord said to him, “Know for certain that for four hundred years your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and that they will be enslaved and mistreated there." (NIV) We know for a fact that the biblical account of the Egyptians and the children of Israel presents a shared and intertwined history.

Sometimes it's difficult to get up in the morning and get going. We all have our daily routines and if we are completely honest with ourselves life can become mundane. It's easy to feel as though we are stuck in a rut. What if we woke up each morning with the perspective that each day is a gift from God?  Each day brings new possibilities. We have 24 hours in a day, 7 days in a week, at least 30 days in a month, and 365 days in a year. Psalm 27:4 says, "One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple." (NIV) Join us Tuesday, March 26, 2019, at 3:30 PM, PDT.  We will explore the gift of time measured in days and how to make each day count.

Wednesday, March 6, 2019, is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the Lenten Season. Christians will observe 40 days of Lent and reflect on the death and burial of Jesus Christ. Then, with much hope, we will look beyond Christ's crucifixion and prepare spiritually, emotionally, and physically to celebrate Resurrection Day/Easter Sunday. Jesus Christ sacrificed and withdrew into the desert for 40 days. As our perfect example, we too can fast from food, festivities, or anything else that falls into the categories of sin and distractions. What will you give up? Matthew 4:1-3 says..."Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” (NIV) Join us Tuesday, March 12, 2019, at 3:30 PM, PDT.We will talk about the Lenten Season and how to make this a personal and rewarding journey.

Life is not simple when we do not know what it is we are supposed to be doing.  The unknowing gives way to floundering and groping around in the dark trying to figure it out. When we finally realize our destiny, life becomes more clear and intentional.  No longer are we afraid to live, dream, and set goals.  Psalm 37:4 says, "Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart." (NKJV).   Join us Tuesday, February 26, 2019, at 3:30 PM, PST.  Our special guest, Damon J. Brown, is an artist and the founder of Creativelou.

We all seek guidance and advice from family, friends, and the experts. Throughout life we make important decisions about, just to name a few, higher education; careers; employment; who to marry; rearing children; financial matters; and medical concerns. Whose advice is worthwhile and whose advice should we tune out? Tuning out unhelpful advice and opinions gives us more time to listen to sound counsel. There is a roadmap for our lives to which we all have access. Psalm 119:105 says, "Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path." (KJV) God's Word illuminates, it's light in darkness and provides clarity to our pathway. Join us Tuesday, February 12, 2019, at 3:30 PM, PST, as we talk about seeking guidance for the decisions we make.

Personal devotion matters. Mornings, afternoons or evenings with Jesus is daily encouragement and food for our soul and spirit. It’s like putting on spiritual armor to face spiritual battle fraught with daily challenges. There's nothing worse than existing through life without hope or peace. Peace with our Heavenly Father is being in relationship with Him. He loves us! We can also experience peace in the midst of our struggles. True peace only comes from Jesus Christ who says, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." John 14:27 (NIV). We also have hope in Christ, who is an anchor for our soul.

We all have melodies from God in our hearts that can be shared through writings, speaking, stories, poetry, and songs. Whatever our means of expression is, God will assure us the opportunity to share with others what's on our mind and within our heart. In Ephesians 6:19-20 it says, "speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord,always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. " (NIV). Let's embark on a journey and share our melodies to the Lord. And through that process, remember there is a place for humor, laughter, and tears of joy and sadness.

New Year's Day marks a time for new beginnings. In the United States of America, January 1st is the 1st day of a new calendar year. The celebration usually starts on new Year's Eve. And, at 11:59:50 pm, we begin the countdown --10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 – and then we shout Happy New Year!! When the clock strikes 12:00 midnight, a new day, month, year, decade, and era has begun. Time has existed since the creation. And we, the human race, are driven by our internal clockwork. What are you and I planning to accomplish in 2019. Whatever it is, it will take deliberation and a plan of action. Some of us will succeed by God's standards. Others will not. Proverbs 16:3 says, "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans." (NIV) Join us Tuesday, January 1, 2019, at 3:30 PM, PST,as we consider the new year and what possibilities God has in store for you and I.

The Christmas season is upon us! Many will celebrate the birth of our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ on December 25. His birth was foretold by the prophets of old way before it came to pass. The New Testament records the fulfillment of these prophecies, thus making the age-old Christmas story biblical and true. Jesus the Son of God was born of a virgin in a manger and came from Bethlehem. Jesus the Christ came in the flesh to save sinners. How does your family celebrate Christmas? What traditions highlight the Holiday? Is Mass or Worship Service a part of your celebration? Do you avoid Christmas like the plague because of its all-consuming commercialism?  Whatever holds true for you, you're not alone! Join us Tuesday, December 18, 2018, at 3:30 PM, PST, as we invite callers to join in and share Christmas Holiday traditions that are near and dear to their hearts.

Upon conception the gift of life is in order. But, how long will we live? These past few months, I have been to more funeral/memorial services than I care to count. My family members, friends and colleagues are dying! In the midst of it all, I asked this question, "How is it that my 97 year old aunt is still living and my cousin's daughter who was age 35 died?" After much sadness, weeping and prayer, I landed on my feet, standing firmly on my biblical foundation and the promises of God. There is comfort in knowing that when we go home to be with the Lord our work is complete. "The Lord is my light and my salvation whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life of whom shall I be afraid?" Psalm 27:1 (NIV) God knows the exact day and hour He will call His children home. It's not an hour too soon nor a day too late.

Thanksgiving Day is a day set aside to show appreciation, gratitude and to give thanks to God. In North America, this annual national holiday is marked by religious observances and a traditional meal including turkey. The holiday commemorates a harvest festival celebrated by the Pilgrims in 1621, and is held in the United States on the fourth Thursday in November. I Thess. 5:17 says "...in everything give thanks." On November 22, many are looking forward to gathering with family and friends and having a traditional turkey dinner. It'll be a time of fellowship, laughter, food, and whatever else family traditions hold. Ponder these questions: “Where would you go if you are homeless and without family or friends?” “How would you choose to spend your day?” “With whom might you feast and enjoy a turkey dinner?” Join us Tuesday, November 20, 2018, at 3:30 PM, PST,as Yield to the King Ministry shares with you how these questions were answered for the homeless.

Today, people are looking for love, justice and truth! The masses are standing up and demanding fairness in our neighborhoods, on our jobs, in the streets. You might ask "Who can I turn to for love, justice and truth?" In John 14:6, Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life.."  If we are in relationship with Jesus Christ and know Him as Lord and Savior, then we will demonstrate love, stand for justice, and know the truth. The truth will set us free. Join us Tuesday, November 6, 2018, at 3:30 PM,PST, as we feature special guest Nakeya D. Isabell.

In Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus said "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (NIV). Many believers today aspire to be disciples and to make disciples, but don't know how. You may ask, so what is required of the believer to become a discipler? The short answer would be – to pray and receive direction from God, know and use the Bible for instruction, and live a transparent life! Look at it this way, you don't have to be the expert, if you are making the disciple. God does the work and will use you. Rather, it is an opportunity for you the discipler and the disciplee to grow together in faith by learning from one another, laying a solid foundation and holding each other accountable.
