Romans 3:21-28

We are all on trial, the religious and the irreligious, believers and atheists. Everyone must stand before God’s throne of judgment. The standard for justice is God’s perfect law, and it is by that standard that everyone deserves to be condemned. Dr. Philip Ryken teaches from the book of Romans on how we can be declared righteous on Every Last Word.

Ephesians 2:1-10

Being made alive in Christ makes a world of difference in your perception of reality and in the direction of your life. It brings spiritual life into our broken world and into our broken souls, revealing God’s plan of redemption in the present for all to see. Listen as Dr. Philip Ryken teaches from Ephesians 2 on Every Last Word.

Luke 18:35 - 19:10

Do you let your circumstances dictate your attitude toward God? If you're down and out are you quick to blame, or when you're riding high, do you find the time to give thanks? Well, a rich tax collector and a blind beggar both felt they had specific needs, until they met Jesus. Tune in to Every Last Word for Dr. Philip Ryken's teaching in the book of Luke.

John 3:1-18

What does it mean to be born again? For some, it implies a literal re-birth from the womb, whereas others think it is the name for a bunch of overzealous believers. Well, Nicodemus confronted Jesus and asked him just that question. Listen to Dr. Philip Ryken on Every Last Word to find out more.

Acts 13:26-49

It is the story of Christ Jesus' life, death, and resurrection that represents the full picture of what we are to know of His sacrifice. Many people shortchange Jesus’ significance by not believing in His complete work, or by only sharing part of the message. Listen as Dr. Philip Ryken explains why it is only the full story that represents the true work of God on Every Last Word.

2 Corinthians 5:14-6:2

Most people seem to ask the wrong questions about God. Does God exist? Why is there so much evil in the world? If God is loving, why is there suffering? In reality, they are trying to figure out if God is acceptable to them. Today on Every Last Word, Dr. Philip Ryken says that the real question should be, are we acceptable to God? And the answer – apart from salvation in Jesus Christ – is no.

Luke 18:9-14

Perhaps you know someone who doesn’t steal or run with a bad crowd. They attend church, pray, and even give generously to the poor. Yet in spite of all the evident devotion, they don't appear to have saving faith. How can this be? Dr. Philip Ryken explains that our pious acts don’t improve our standing before God on Every Last Word.

Ruth 4:1-22

Why did the eternal Son of God have to become a man? It’s a good question, and it connects two very important things – the person of Jesus Christ and his work. Sound a bit too theological? It’s really quite simple. Dr. Philip Ryken explains why the price to redeem us had to be paid by flesh and blood on Every Last Word.

Exodus 15:1-21

If you were to ask people to describe the Bible, how do you think they would respond? Some would probably say it’s a story. Others, a collection of moral teachings. Or maybe just a piece of literature. Listen to Every Last Word as Dr. Philip Ryken explains that the Bible is indeed a story – but the important thing is whose story it is.

Ephesians 1:3-14

Do you know that God’s saving grace is anticipated, accomplished, or applied on every page of the Bible? Christ is our salvation, and in him we are called, redeemed, forgiven, adopted, reconciled, sanctified, and finally, glorified. It’s God’s work from beginning to end. Dr. Philip Ryken explains God's plan of salvation from before the foundation of time on Every Last Word.
