Hope for Today

King David did not get to build the Temple. Solomon, King David's son built and furnished God's Temple according to God’s specifications. The Temple was completed and the Ark of the Covenant was brought and placed in the Holies of Holy of the Temple. Solomon gave a sermon and then offered a prayer of dedication to the LORD God, recorded in II Chronicles 6:14-42. 

Today's episode will focus on verse 20 (NKJV) "That Your eyes may be open toward this temple day and night, toward the place where You said You would put Your name, that You may hear the prayer which Your servant makes toward this place."

Miraculously, God the Father delivered humankind from the penalty of sin. His love, grace, and mercy provided to those who believe in the person and work of Jesus Christ, an opportunity to be with Christ forever. We can't earn it, and we don't deserve it. This positional eternal state of being was granted to us by God himself.

Romans 6:23 (NKJV) says, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." While we were sinners, Christ atoned for our sins. We are free from the penalty of sin, its power, and its consequences. Hallelujah, to God be the Glory!

Join us Tuesday, July 25, at 3:30 PM (PT), as we further discuss salvation 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 (646) 668-2946.

In our sinful state, our goodness is tainted with selfish motives and selfish desires. Our goodness does not please God --no one does good, not even one. God's goodness, on the other hand, represents His standard of goodness in all His ways. In Christ Jesus, our Heavenly Father ushers in a newness that is cloaked in Christ's righteousness, and the old self will pass away. Christ renews and transforms our minds. During that process, God will develop our potential to the greatest degree possible. 

II Cor. 5:17 (NKJV) says, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new."  When we yield and surrender, the Holy Spirit will produce in us the best version of self we can be. 

Join us Tuesday, July 11, at 3:30 PM (PT), as we discuss and remember the blessing of being transformed through the power of God. Call in to speak with the host (646) 668-2946.

Years ago, I discovered this little book, The Prayer of Jabez: Breaking Through to the Blessed Life, by Dr. Bruce H. Wilkinson. It was the #1 New York Times Bestseller. I was intrigued, so I purchased and read it, with the promise that it would change my life. Well, God did not grant me material blessings but rather a heart for Jesus. That was life-changing and more precious than gold!

Jabez's prayer is mentioned in I Chronicles 4:10 (NIV). It says, "Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request. Everything in this prayer speaks to who God is -- the very source of all blessings.

It’s Tea Time! How often do you sit down and sip tea with a special person in your life? There are many traditions around high tea and afternoon tea time. Etiquette would say to serve a meal with meat during high tea, or pastries, little sandwiches, scones, and cakes during afternoon tea. Fellowship is the key. It's an opportunity to share our love. 

John 13:34 says, "I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, that you also love one another." (NASB). By the end of this episode, you'll have a new idea for how you can approach tea time.

Join us Tuesday, May 30, at 3:30 PM (PT), as we consider the acronym T.E.A., for a practical Tea Time! Call in to speak with the host (646) 668-2946.  Hope4Today is an outreach program of Yield to the King Ministry. You can reach us anytime at our website yieldtothekingministry.org

As believers in Christ, we know He is our solid rock and firm foundation. He is our cornerstone when we completely trust and are committed to Him. Are we standing on a firm foundation that will endure the test of time?

In Matthew 7:25 (NIV), Jesus speaks of building our life on a solid rock by saying, "The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock."  He goes on to contrast the wise vs. the foolish man.

Join us Tuesday, April 18, at 3:30 PM (PDT), as we glean wisdom on how to journey with Christ as our solid rock. Call in to speak with the host (646) 668-2946.

Resurrection Day is a time of rejoicing. On our behalf, Christ our Savior and Lord conquered the wages of sin. Death no longer has its sting.  We are free indeed!  

Luke chapter 24, verses 6 and 7, say, "He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, saying, ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.' " (NKJV)

Join us Tuesday, April 4, at 3:30 PM (PDT) for a quick prayer of thanks to our Risen Lord as we await Resurrection Day. Call in to speak with the host (646) 668-2946

As believers in Christ, we owe our lives to Him. He died for the sins of the world. In Christ, we are free indeed. This Lenten season reminds us of our need for redemption. Jesus Christ atoned for our sins, reconciled us to God the Father, and clothed us in His righteousness. We are in a restored relationship with God after being separated from Him because of our sins. 

II Corinthians 5:21 (NKJV) says, "For He made Him who knew no sin to besin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him."  The redemptive work of Jesus Christ (true God and true Man) has freed us from the penalty of sin.

Join us Tuesday, March 21, at 3:30 PM (PDT) for a quick review of our Risen Lord, who paid the price in full of our debt to sin.

Ash Wednesday, also known as the Day of Ashes, is February 22, 2023. This day is a holy day of prayer and fasting. Christians confess their sins and profess their devotion to God. Most Christians will attend a church service where a minister, pastor, priest, or other ordained clergies, will place ashes on the forehead of the worshiper in the shape of a cross. The ashes remind us that we are dust and to dust, we shall return. This ceremony means that we belong to Christ.

Genesis 3:19 (NIV) says, ”By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust, you will return.”

Join us Tuesday, February 21, at 3:30 PM, PST, as we look at the significance of Ash Wednesday, the start of the Lenten season leading up to Resurrection day.

Our destiny is not to remain here on earth forever. Tomorrow is not promised and nobody knows for sure what today will bring. Idle time is fleeting; but when we pause to reflect it's long-lasting. How can we live in the moment free of the cares and worries of this world? For starters, we can yearn for and seek time to reflect on God's mercies that are new every morning. 

Matthew 6:34 (NASB) says, “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."  Be encouraged, beloved! God wants us to be still and know Him. 

Join us on Tuesday, December 27, at 3:30 PM, PST,for featured studio guests Patricia Haynes and Cheryl Johnson, who will share their reflections and how they approach and manage living in the moment.
