Hope for Today

A worthy life resides fully in Jesus Christ. God has positioned us in Christ and clothed us in His righteousness. As a believer, our lives should align with God's expectations. Our desires and goals are to walk worthy or consistently with who God is and what He has done. God is the one who saves and calls us. Through His power, we can bear fruit in every good work.

Eph. 4:1 (NIV), says, "As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received."  Walking worthy is a true walk of faith, resulting from being in Christ Jesus.

Join us on Tuesday, September 3, 2024, at 3:30 pm (PT) as we discuss walking worthy of our calling in the Kingdom of God. Dr. Michael Ley, our special guest, will share a biblical perspective on living a worthy life. Dr. Ley is a minister, teacher, and preacher of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. You may speak with the host by calling (319) 527-6720.

Jesus Christ is depicted through various figures, metaphors, and titles. One is the "Lion of Judah," evoking imagery of majesty, power, and authority. Rev. 5:5 (NIV), says, "Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He can open the scroll and its seven seals.”

The Lion Tells His Tale is an African Proverb that says, "Until the lion tells his tale, the hunt will always glorify the hunter."Essentially, he who holds the pen controls the narrative. How do we make room for diverse voices to be heard in the story of American History?  Who will tell the "Unspoken Truths" of the African American experience?  These questions are explored in the world premiere play, "The Lion Tells His Tale."

Join us Tuesday, July 23, at 3:30 PM (PT), with special studio guest, Vida Oliphant-Sneed, playwright of the play "The Lion Tells His Tale" which debuted in Seattle, Washington, on May 1-5, 2024. We will learn about her journey and why she wrote the play. Mrs. Sneed is a wife, mother, grandmother, and educator. She is a Teaching Leader within the Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) international Bible study program. You may speak with the host by calling (319) 527-6720.

Yield to the King Ministry (Y2K Ministry) has made great strides since its inception in June 2015. I am reflecting on the faithfulness of God, His plans for the ministry, and the success that unfolds. My heart is thankful and grateful. Through it all, I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me. 

Proverbs 16:3 (NIV) says, "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans." God gave me the vision and entrusted me to carry out His purpose and plans through Y2K Ministry.

The Lord God is the source of our salvation. Christians are delivered and redeemed from the penalty of sin and its consequences which are death and separation from God. Christ paid the ultimate sacrifice through His death. He conquered death by rising from the dead. Christ Jesus is the personification of salvation.

Isaiah 12:2 (NKJV) says, "Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord himself, is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation."

Join us on Tuesday, June 25, 2024, at 3:30 pm (PT) as we discuss the source of our salvation -- the triune God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Dr. Michael Ley, our special guest, will share a biblical perspective of salvation. Dr. Ley is a minister, teacher, and preacher of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. You may speak with the host by calling (319) 527-6720.

The seven last Words of Jesus Christ should cause believers to pause and reset. Jesus in His suffering showed His divinity and humanness. He understands what we go through when suffering! 

This lesson is not exhaustive, but a time to reflect on those things that matter most. Jesus exemplifies forgiveness. He offers salvation to those who believe. He lays the foundation for relationships. He understands feelings of abandonment. He experienced distress. He is triumphant. And, in Him, there will be a reunion of the saints. 

Join us on Tuesday, March 19, 2024, at 3:30 p.m. (PT).  We will discuss the last seven Words of Jesus Christ found in the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. To speak to the host call (319) 527-6720.

As believers, we are called to put on the complete armor of God. Why is that? Because we are in constant spiritual warfare. And while this spiritual battle is present, we are called to be steadfast and endure hardship as soldiers in the army of God. The battle is already won, and the victory is in Jesus Christ.

II Timothy 2:3 (NKJV) says, "You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ."  There is no time for distractions. Jesus Christ enlisted us, so let's aim to please Him. 

Join us on Tuesday, March 5, 2024, at 3:30 p.m. (PT) as we discuss hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. Dr. Michael Ley, our special guest, will share a biblical perspective.

As believers, our goal is Christlikeness. The ministry of the Holy Spirit produces godliness in believers. The sanctification process conforms us to the image of Christ. In Christ Jesus, our transformation demonstrates spiritual maturity. Hence, the reasons why we live to glorify God. Our focus is eternal, not having an appetite for the desires of this world. 

Romans 12:2 (NKJV) says, "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." 

Join us Tuesday, January 2, at 3:30 PM (PT) as we further discuss sanctification and its meaning with our featured guest, Dr. Michael Ley, a minister, teacher, and preacher of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Call in to speak with the host (319) 527-6720.

The year 2023 is coming to an end. Now is the perfect time to reflect, assess our spiritual growth, and pray for the coming of the new year. I hope that whatever has happened, our relationship with God and others is deepening and full of gratitude and joy.  

Romans 8:28 (NKJV) says, "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose."

God the Father has written our book of life. His purpose and plan for us unfold each day. Every chapter in our life's earthly journey is penned by Him. We can stand on God's Word and plug into the power or shrink because of a lack of knowledge or disbelief. We must speak the Word of God to change the condition or circumstances in our hearts, mind, and body.  

Isaiah 55:11 (NIV) says, "So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it."  God's Word will do what it says it will do!

In our relationship with Jesus Christ, we are called to a life of service. Life is challenging just trying to manage the ups and downs, uncertainty, and the unknown. The real test is not being discouraged, and remaining on the course. God provides what we need and gives us direction. He equips us to be overcomers and wants us to celebrate our victories.

I Kings 19:9 (NASB) says, "Then he came there to a cave and spent the night there; and behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and He said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” What would your response be if asked the same question during difficulty?
