RG AUDIO 012218   Psalm 5:1-12 Today, traveling has been simplified. GPS has made possible for even the least-experienced traveler to get from point A to point B. There’s no longer a need for the skill of map reading; technology has taken care of that for us. But, what happens when the signal is interrupted? […]

RG AUDIO 012118   Matthew 12:13-21 In Matthew 12, we read the story of a man with a shriveled hand. We don’t know much about him, but we can make some guesses: Only a few people made an effort to talk to him. Many looked away. Most tried to ignore him altogether and pretend he […]

RG AUDIO 012018   2 Peter 3:8-18 It’s always easier to wait for something when you know when it will arrive. As children, we counted the days until Christmas.

RG AUDIO 011918   Acts 10:39-48 Look both ways before crossing the street. This good advice was drilled into our heads at a very young age. This carefully-practiced habit keeps us from stepping off the curb into the path of a moving vehicle. No matter what we do or say, we ought to look both […]

RG AUDIO 011618   Isaiah 19:16—20:6 Babylon. The Philistines. Moab. Damascus. Cush. Egypt. Edom. Arabia. Chapters 13–24 of Isaiah read like a parade of Israel’s worst enemies. As every pagan nation is named, we read words of judgment and destruction on those who oppressed the people of God. It can be tempting to want to […]

RG AUDIO 011518   Isaiah 19:1-15 Frogs, frogs, and more frogs! One of my favorite parts of the book of Exodus is when Aaron stretched his hand out over the water, and frogs came up and covered the land. Not wanting to be outdone, Pharaoh’s wise men foolishly called forth even more frogs to plague […]

RG AUDIO 011418   Psalm 119:113-128 As an evangelist, Susie travels and speaks 43 weeks/weekends a year, and she meets a lot of folks in the church who don’t make Bible reading a priority. We’re kidding ourselves if we think we can grow spiritually and live in the center of His will without reading His […]

RG AUDIO 011318   Revelation 22:6017 Choose a few words that come to mind when you think about Christ’s return: fear, joy, confusion, hope, doubt, gratitude, anticipation, dread, excitement.
