We’ve been looking for them, at least since I was a kid. Life forms from somewhere else in the universe.

In the 1930s for example, famed actor, Orson Welles, freaked out a nation with a radio broadcast of simulated news bulletins. Millions were convinced an alien invasion was taking place.

And then in the 1950’s, sightings of UFO’s triggered reports of downed aliens secretly kept in New Mexico’s infamous “Area 51.” And then in the 1990s, the hit TV series, “X Files.”

Now our government has started releasing extensive files with all kinds of footage of aerial phenomena. Is it military technology? The interplanetary visitors we’ve been waiting for? Or spiritual forces, as the Bible talks about in a section about “how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie” (2 Thessalonians 2:9).

I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about “Aliens – And Beyond.”

In our broader popular culture, extraterrestrial life is one of the most enduring mysteries of the past century. But it’s just one of many things in the “beyond us” category.

Astronauts return from space in awe of the magnitude of what they have seen beyond our world. And millions of us are endlessly curious about a buffet of spiritualities and unexplainable spiritual phenomena.

And while our fascination with things “beyond us” takes us down many different trails, there is one common source.

There’s a yearning in our soul that needs something bigger than ourselves. Bigger than can be explained.

And the revealing explanation for this comes from the greatest “beyond us” of all. The God who created us. Who says in Ecclesiastes 3:11, our word for today from the Word of God:

“God has placed eternity in the human heart” (Ecclesiastes 3:11).

We are looking for something that will last forever!

Which effectively eliminates everything “earth.” Oh, we try all kinds of relationships and accomplishments and experiences – but they don’t last! And all of our ventures into the unknown and unexplainable are ultimately, well, substitute supernaturals. Little bridges that leave us stranded. Because none of them reach the destination our soul craves.

Knowing our Creator. For He tells us that we were “created by Him and for Him” (Colossians 1:16). And as He prayed, Jesus said, “This is the way to have eternal life – to know You, the only true God” (John 17:3).

But our search for lasting love and peace and meaning has not taken us to Him. It has taken us away from Him. God describes it this way: “We all, like sheep, have gone astray; each of us has turned to our own way” (Isaiah 53:6). The opposite of God’s way.

Tragically, that has left us “without God and without hope” (Ephesians 2:12). Alone in His universe. By our choice, not His.

A lot of religions talk about God at the top of a mountain. And us on many different roads, hoping they will lead to Him.

But the divine bombshell is this amazing reality: we can’t possibly reach a sinless God, no matter which road we choose. But God loves us too much to leave us lost.

So in the greatest act of love in human history, He came down from the mountain to bring us to Him! At the unspeakable price of dying to pay the penalty for the very sinning we’ve done against Him. In the Bible’s words: “Christ died for sinners to bring you safely home to God” (1 Peter 3:18).

Then He rose from the dead to give us a gift that answers the eternity in our heart.

Life. Eternal life!

That life is within your reach today.

That’s what our website is all about, and I encourage you to go to ANewStory.com. There you’ll see from the Bible how to begin this life-changing relationship with the Jesus.

We may think that making a small compromise here and there doesn’t matter. But the truth is that there is inherent danger in compromising our beliefs or morals, danger that can sometimes lead to disaster. In this message from Revelation 2, Pastor J.D. takes us through John’s letters to the churches at Ephesus and Smyrna, showing us where Jesus both commends and challenges these congregations. Jesus’ warning should serve as a sobering reminder to us today: It’s possible to be faithful to the doctrines and practices of Jesus while having hearts that are cold and far from him.

Dr. Tony Evans shares how people with difficult pasts can still be used by God in powerful ways, reminding us that it’s never too late to move forward.

What are the biggest financial questions people keep asking—and are we answering them the right way?

The questions we wrestle with about money often reveal something deeper. They expose our fears, our hopes, and what we truly believe about God’s provision. That’s why financial wisdom must go beyond spreadsheets and strategies. It must address the heart.

Sharon Epps, president of Kingdom Advisors, joins us to unpack what financial advisors across the country are hearing from their clients. While the seasons of life may vary, many of the same questions keep surfacing—and those questions often reveal concerns that go deeper than dollars and cents.

As Kingdom Advisors stays connected with financial professionals across the country, certain questions continue to surface. According to Sharon, three of the most common are:

Each question involves real financial decisions, but each one also reveals something about the heart. They are not merely questions about money. They are questions about security, legacy, generosity, and trust.

At first glance, “How much is enough?” sounds like a numbers question. People want to know how much they should save, how much they need for retirement, or how much margin they need to feel secure.

But beneath the question is often a deeper concern: Will I be okay? Will my family be okay?

That’s why a purely financial answer can fall short. A typical financial plan may focus mainly on accumulation—building as much as possible to create a sense of safety. Saving wisely is important, but from a biblical perspective, accumulation alone cannot provide lasting peace.

A stewardship approach asks a different question. It still considers the numbers, but it also recognizes that God is our provider. Enough is not merely a financial target. It is also a posture of the heart shaped by contentment, trust, and faithfulness.

Another question many people ask is, “How do I prepare the next steward?”

This often becomes urgent as people approach retirement or begin thinking about estate planning. But Sharon points out that preparing the next steward should not be delayed until later in life. It is something we should consider throughout our lifetime.

That’s because stewardship is not only about passing on wealth. It is about passing on wisdom, values, and a vision for faithfulness.

Proverbs 13:22 says, “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children.” While that certainly can include financial inheritance, it should not be limited to money. A truly meaningful inheritance includes biblical wisdom, godly character, and a clear understanding of how to steward resources.

As Ron Blue has often said, estate planning is incomplete if it only focuses on wealth transfer. The greater goal is the transfer of wisdom before wealth.

The third question Sharon says advisors frequently hear is, “How do I give intentionally?”

This question moves generosity beyond impulse or obligation. It invites us to think carefully about how God may be calling us to use what He has entrusted to us for His Kingdom.

Intentional giving requires prayer, planning, and a willingness to align our resources with our deepest convictions. It asks not simply, “How much can I give?” but “How can my giving reflect God’s generosity and advance His purposes?”

These recurring questions helped inspire FaithFi’s new Field Guides—practical resources designed to help people work through major financial
