The Well

“You have heard it said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Well, Jesus gave a lot of hard sayings during His life and ministry. The one you just heard was one of the hardest. What did He mean? What are the implications for you and me?  Answers come your way next, as Ron continues his teaching series, “Undefeated: Overcoming the Deadly Sins That Drag You Down.” 

There’s no question that politics and social and economic reforms have their place. But the church of Jesus Christ is to be focused on the life-transforming message of the Gospel. On this episode of The Verdict, Pastor John Munro explores the challenge of the harvest as described by Jesus.

Now, don’t look directly at the sun, but picture in your mind how big that shining star is in the morning sky. From your perspective, it’s not all that large! But in reality, the entire Earth can fit inside the Sun 1.3 million times! Pastor Jeff teaches you today that you are even smaller than that in God’s eyes. The Lord can see everything that is going on in the world, and He isn’t surprised by anything that happens to you. God doesn’t need your help or guidance; He just needs you to be obedient.

It’s been said, “Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die.” But the more we know about Heaven, the less we’ll worry about death—and the more we’ll live for Christ! On this episode of Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy continues his Heaven series titled Life After Life.

Today, Mark Gregston, Wayne Shepherd and Courtney Lafleur discuss the irreplaceable role grandparents play in the lives of their teenage grandchildren. Mark reminds grandparents that staying connected requires intentional effort and flexibility as grandchildren grow and the relationship changes — but their need for loving, steady grandparents is greater than ever. By listening more, meeting teens where they are and offering unconditional love rather than constant advice, grandparents can remain a place of rest and wisdom. Your presence and genuine interest can leave a lasting legacy that shapes your grandchildren long after the teen years pass.

If your family is struggling, we encourage you to join Mark in Texas at one of his Families in Crisis Conferences. Learn more at parentingtodaysteens.org/families-in-crisis-conference
