Every Last Word

Exodus 25:31-40

Do you find it hard to be one of the only Christians at your workplace? How much do you talk about your faith to the other parents at your child’s school? It’s not easy, but there are so many people living in darkness who cross our paths each day who need to hear about the light that God offers to sinners. The only way to have the light of God is to come to faith in Jesus Christ, who said, “I am the light of the world.” That’s a message you can help tell them deliver as you shine for Christ in this dark, dark world. Dr. Philip Ryken encourages us to share the good news on Every Last Word. 

Exodus 25:23-30

In today’s struggling economy, a lot of us have come to a place that we thought we would never be… worrying about how we will meet our needs. If you’ve lost your job, you’re probably worried about how you will pay your bills and provide food for your family. And you may feel like nobody understands or knows your needs. But someone does. And he knows your needs even better than you do. Take heart with Dr. Philip Ryken on Every Last Word. 

Exodus 25:10-22

Have you ever wondered how the Old Testament is relevant to you? Could studying the building plans of God’s Tabernacle help you in your life today? Well, the Bible makes an explicit connection between the tabernacle in Exodus and the coming of Christ. God gave us his Son, just as he gave Israel the tabernacle, only this time he didn’t just pitch a tent! He took on our flesh and blood in order to give us direct access to God. Dr. Philip Ryken shares these important truths on Every Last Word today. 

Exodus 25:1-9

The Bible teaches that, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” The reverse can also be true: that where our hearts are, that is where we put our treasure. So if all this is true, why do we spend so much money on earthly things? Well, it’s because our hearts are hard. But when we give back to God what He has given to us, we have the privilege of participating in God’s work of spreading the Gospel. Dr. Philip Ryken teaches from Exodus on Every Last Word. 

Galatians 6:14

Boasting is never attractive. But have you ever noticed that, despite the fact that nobody likes a bragger, everybody brags anyway? And what about? Our brain power, our muscle power, our buying power...anything that makes us feel like we are better than someone else. But when we come to know Jesus, we humbly realize that we have nothing, except for His cross, to boast about. And for the cross, we should boast eagerly. Dr. Philip Ryken teaches from Galatians on today's episode of Every Last Word.

Colossians 2:15

Have you ever broken the law? We’ve all had the occasional traffic violation or parking ticket…. but many of us try to lead good lives. We go to church every week, help others, we’re not lawbreakers...or are we? The Bible says we are. In fact, we have so often broken God’s Law that we have accumulated an infinite debt to Him. That infinite debt, that we could never pay back, was completely erased --- completely cleared -- on the cross at Calvary. Tune in to hear this life changing news from Dr. Philip Ryken on Every Last Word. 

1 Corinthians 1:18

Christians believe that the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, and his subsequent resurrection, was the most important event in the history of the world. To Christians, the cross of Christ is the source of all hope and comfort. Yet the same cross that is so attractive to the followers of Christ is exactly what keeps others from coming to him at all. How could there be any power in a man hanging on a cross? Dr. Philip Ryken sheds light on this subject on Every Last Word.

Colossians 1:20

If you were asked, “Are you at war with anyone?,” you would probably be surprised by the question, or maybe even offended. And why would that be such a strange question? Probably because we all want to think of ourselves as peace-loving individuals. But the fact is, we are at war with God. The good news is, God has made a peace offering toward us. Will you accept it?

Hebrews 12:2

Most of us in our day-to-day lives feel pretty good about ourselves. We’re generally truthful. We put in an honest day’s work. We are by and large, good people...good enough to get into heaven...or are we? The Bible teaches us that we are helpless, hopeless, and unrighteous. The good news is, that’s not the end of the story. Dr. Philip Ryken teaches about the offense of the cross on Every Last Word.

Acts 2:23

Grotesque, morbid, unsightly... those words describe something that is at the very heart of Christianity. It’s something that is preached and taught about all the time in the Christian faith. Namely, Christ’s crucifixion. And while some may find it too brutal, or think it unnecessary... because of our sin, it is essential to our very salvation. For wherever the cross disappears, true Christianity also disappears. Listen to these gospel truths on Every Last Word with Dr. Philip Ryken.
