The Light

The trumpet judgments of Revelation reveal a sobering Truth: God is holy, sin will be judged, and His warnings must not be ignored.

In this urgent message, Dr. Michael Youssef explains that even as judgment intensifies, the Lord remains merciful and completely sovereign. He hears the prayers of His people, protects those who belong to Him, and reminds believers that Satan’s fury cannot overturn God’s plan.

Satan may rage, but he is already defeated. The kingdoms of this world will ultimately become the Kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ.

This episode calls believers to:

• Trust the inerrant Word of God,
• Repent and live ready for Christ’s return,
• Intercede without ceasing,
• Proclaim Biblical Truth without compromise,
• Refuse fear in the face of spiritual conflict,
• Look forward to the triumphant reign of Jesus Christ.

God’s judgments are certain, His mercy is real, and His Kingdom will prevail.

Scripture Focus: Revelation 8; Revelation 9; Revelation 10; Revelation 11

Jesus appears to the assembled disciples (Luke 24:36-43), inviting them to touch his hands and feet before eating broiled fish to prove he is bodily raised. Dr. John explores why physical resurrection matters — against ancient Docetism and spiritualized views of heaven — and what it means that we are, and always will be, both flesh and spirit.

The End of the Beginning: Everyone knows how this story ends — Jesus is crucified, buried, and rises again. But in this 15-part series through Luke 23-24, Dr. John Neufeld shows why these familiar chapters still reward careful study, tracing the trials before Pilate and Herod and the road to the cross. Along the way, he uncovers details unique to Luke's account that reveal what kind of King Jesus truly is.

Finish this sentence: If you want something done right, you have to, what? You might be surprised that the correct answer is, you have to show people what right looks like. Though it’s likely not the answer you expected . . . it’s central to John MacArthur’s next lesson. Be here as John continues his practical study called Wisdom for the Workplace.

There is a big difference between prophets and politicians. Politicians act in a way to please their constituents. Prophets act in a way to please God. In the Bible, prophets often stood alone. They spoke God’s truth and risked losing their lives for it.

Ministers of the gospel and servants of Jesus Christ are fragile vessels for the gospel. The vessel is unimpressive, but the treasure within is wonderful. This frailty of the body—and the weakness of the servant—reflects ultimately the death of Jesus—and allows the life of Jesus to shine through.

In a culture obsessed with staying young, aging can feel like something to hide or fight. But what does the Bible say about growing older? Scripture offers a different perspective, showing that aging can bring wisdom, spiritual maturity, and opportunities to invest in the next generation.

Proverbs 16:31 calls gray hair a “crown of glory,” reminding Christians that growing older is not something to fear or be ashamed of. For Christian women especially, Titus 2 offers a meaningful calling: older women are to share their wisdom and faith with younger generations. Instead of letting culture define the value of aging, we can embrace each season of life as an opportunity to grow in godliness, make disciples, encourage others, and point our families toward Christ.

Highlights

• How the Bible offers a different perspective on aging than today’s anti-aging culture
• Why Proverbs 16:31 describes gray hair as a crown of glory
• Learning to recognize the spiritual value of growing older in Christ
• What Titus 2 teaches about older women mentoring and encouraging younger women
• Why Christian women should embrace opportunities to share wisdom across generations
• How aging can become an opportunity to make disciples and invest in others
• Encouragement to renew our minds with God’s Word rather than allowing culture to define our view of aging

Finding the Beauty of Aging in an Anti-Aging World

By: Emily Rose Massey

Bible Reading:

“Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is gained in a righteous life” (Proverbs 16:31, ESV).

Botox and injectables, facelifts, tummy tucks, retinol creams, under-eye concealer and color correctors, collagen and peptide powders, weight-loss products, teeth whitening, and veneer treatment advertisements bombard us continually through television, magazines, and social media influencers. There is no getting around it; we live in an anti-aging world. This was the topic of a recent women’s leadership training at my church, as we discussed the importance of Christian women embracing the high calling of Titus 2 (older women training the younger women). Do we try to run from the title of “older woman,” or are we enthusiastically embracing it because we know how much the Bible esteems growing older in the Lord?

The book of Proverbs is full of so much wisdom and highlights the beauty of aging in chapter 16:

“Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is gained in a righteous life” (Proverbs 16:31, ESV).

The Bible does not tell us to cover up those gray hairs; it says that it is a crown of honor. We must embrace growing older because, as Christ followers, our gray hair should be a sign of a lifelong j
