John 20: 19, 21

“I need just a little peace and quiet.” It's something we’ve all said on occasion. It may seem innocent enough, but the truth is, deep down inside, we all long for peace... in our relationships, at our workplace, in our families. Often these areas of our lives have very little peace, even though we may work hard at it. Listen to Every Last Word as Dr. Philip Ryken teaches that the problem is, real, genuine peace in our lives only comes after we make peace with God.

Matthew 28:10

The times we live in are difficult, some might even say tumultuous. If you look around you can find much to be afraid about...the economy, current world affairs, wars. We can let our fears get to us, or we can stop, and take a minute to look at what the Bible has to teach us about this world, fear, our future, and the courage we can have as we face all of those things. Dr. Philip Ryken encourages us to be anxious for nothing on Every Last Word. 

John 19:30

Have you ever left a project unfinished? Who hasn't?! Our lives are filled with projects that we have never quite managed to complete. We have half-read books on our shelves and piles of junk left abandoned from hobbies we’ve started, but never finished. Thankfully Jesus Christ did not leave the great project of his life unfinished. He got the job done, He accomplished the mission. Dr. Philip Ryken teaches from the Book of John on today's episode of Every Last Word.

Matthew 27:46

Have you ever been at a place in your life where you felt forgotten or forsaken, totally alone? It’s a painful place to be, a place where you feel no one understands or “feels your pain.” But one person does understand, and has felt your pain and has conquered death for you so that you can have eternal life. Listen to this encouraging message by Dr. Philip Ryken on Every Last Word.

John 19:28

It’s hard for us to fully embrace the idea that Jesus Christ was as much a man as he was God. But along with the miracles he performed as the Son of God, he also experienced humanity as deeply as we do. One clear example we see is when he said he was thirsty while being crucified. Jesus was human after all, and if he was going save us, if he was going to die in our place, then he needed to be one of us to do it. Dr. Philip Ryken teaches about the humanity of Jesus today on Every Last Word. 

John 19:26-27

As Jesus was growing up, his unique identity as the Son of God and his unique ministry as the Savior of the world must have made for some very interesting family situations. Certainly these family ties were strained during the course of his life, and they were broken altogether at the cross. Dr. Philip Ryken teaches about the family of Jesus on this episode of Every Last Word. 

Luke 23:34

The thief on the cross next to Jesus was a criminal in life, the lowest of the low. But he knew his Savior when he met him that day at the place of the Skull outside Jerusalem. Was he just lucky to be dying next to Jesus? For at the last possible moment in his earthly life, he received the gift of eternal life. Listen as Dr. Philip Ryken teaches about "the luckiest man alive" on Every Last Word. 

Matthew 28:18-20

While many millions have been saved already, millions more are still waiting to hear the message of salvation. God has not finished gathering that great multitude that will one day worship at His throne. If they are to hear the message of salvation, it is up to us to proclaim it. Listen as Dr. Philip Ryken shares about the Great Commission on Every Last Word. 

Revelation 7:9-17

Glory, or the afterlife, is not a place we know about in great detail. However, the book of Revelation offers us an interesting glimpse into heaven. It describes an enormous number of people from all different ethnic groups and places, worshipping the Lord in the splendor of His holiness. Tune in as Dr. Philip Ryken looks to our eternal future on Every Last Word.

1 Peter 1:1-9

Suffering in the Christian life is not necessarily to be avoided, nor is it to be accepted with an attitude of defeat. Rather, the life of the Christian is to be patterned after Jesus Christ’s. Tune in to hear more about God's purpose in our suffering from Dr. Philip Ryken on Every Last Word.
