The secular world longs to be remembered, but the people of God seek His remembrance. Jehoram was a King who was captain of his own soul, and was forgotten quickly except to be a warning to all who follow. 

King-Sized Lessons on Faith and Failure: The Kings of Judah were a mixed bag like most of us, but their stories are remarkable nonetheless. In this 5 message series, Dr. John walks us through 5 kings of Judah and the king-sized lessons we can all learn from their faith and failures. These include the failure of pride, contending for the faith, keeping our eyes on God, legacy, and the true measure of greatness. 

Pastor Chuck Swindoll walks through John 18:1–11, the scene of Jesus’ arrest, to examine the cup the Father gave His Son to drink. In Christ’s submission lies the model for every believer who must choose obedience when the cost is high.

The Grace to You radio broadcast for June 25, 2026.

We live in a day marked by shallow concepts of God. We’ve lost our sense of reverence...God has become our “pal,” our understanding buddy. But God is holy. He’s our Creator. He is our sovereign and glorious Lord, worthy of all our praise and worship.

It can be easy to let past struggles shape how we view God’s character. Difficult circumstances may tempt us to believe we are forgotten or left to handle life alone. But God’s faithfulness is often revealed not by removing every hardship, but by carrying us through each one with His peace, provision, and strength.

Because of Christ, we are not abandoned or forgotten. We are deeply loved, chosen, guided, and redeemed by the Father. When we remember who God is and who we are in Him, fear loses its power and we can walk forward with confidence in His care.

Highlights:

• God’s love is something we are invited to experience, not just understand intellectually
• Past hardships can distort our view of God’s faithfulness if we lose sight of His truth
• God often meets us through difficulties by providing strength, peace, and guidance
• We are desirable, lovable, helpable, and redeemable because of God’s love
• Knowing we are loved by God changes how we face challenges and uncertainty

God’s Heart for You Is Huge
By Kelly Balarie

Bible Reading:
“…and [that you may come] to know [practically, through personal experience] the love of Christ which far surpasses [mere] knowledge [without experience], that you may be filled up [throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself].” – Ephesians 3:19 AMPC

For a second, I imagined myself as a little girl, abandoned and left alone in the rain. Shivering, it was obvious that my clothes were far too scarce for the elements. 

As I came back out of my daydreaming, I decided that a random imaginary picture summed up how I felt. It aligned with my underlying thoughts: Who will rescue me? Who will protect me? Will I be okay?

The logical side of me knew, cerebrally, the truth: “God is faithful.”
The authentic side of me, honestly said, “Can I really trust God?”

I wasn’t so sure after all I’d been through - problem after problem, health issue after health issue, car malfunction after car malfu

There is no greater joy in the Christian life than living together in life-giving Christian community. There is no greater privilege in the Christian life than joining arms with brothers and sisters in the great work of the gospel. It is this privilege and joy that Paul models for us in his own networks of relationships – and then commends to each one of us.

Learn how to be sure of your possession of eternal life in Christ.
