Pastor walks his children through Children's Catechism question 75—especially explaining how the last six commandments apply the knowledge and love of God to how we love ourselves and others. Q75. What do the last six commandments teach? Our duty to our fellow men. This lesson explores the theological foundation of the last six commandments, identifying them as a summary of humanity's duty to fellow men. It clarifies that these commandments are not merely social rules but are rooted in the reality that all people are created in the image of God. The teaching corrects the modern notion of self-love as self-indulgence, arguing instead that proper self-regard and neighborly love are derived from, and defined by, God's law. By examining specific commandments regarding authority, life, marriage, property, truth, and desire, the lesson demonstrates how interacting with others is fundamentally an act of interacting with God. The central message emphasizes that our conduct toward neighbors is a direct reflection of our understanding of God's character and our own identity as His image-bearers.

Why did Judas Iscariot betray Jesus? Was it really just about 30 pieces of silver—or was something far more dangerous happening in his heart? In this in-depth Bible study of Mark 14:10–16, we explore the betrayal of Jesus Christ, the spiritual danger of loving money, and the remarkable truth that God's sovereign plan was unfolding even through humanity's most wicked actions. Judas was not an outsider. He was one of the Twelve disciples who had walked with Jesus, witnessed His miracles, and heard His teaching. Yet he chose money over Christ. How could this happen? And what warning does his betrayal hold for us today? In this episode, we examine the human and divine dimensions of Jesus' journey to the cross.

My sermons are the fruit of nearly 30 years of pastoral ministry, biblical counseling, formal seminary training, and a lifelong passion for God's Word. Since childhood, I've been drawn to the beauty and power of expository preaching—opening Scripture verse by verse and applying it to real life. After graduating from Moody Bible Institute, I spent the next 27 years serving as a youth pastor, senior pastor, church planter, and host of the Food For Your Soul radio broadcast. Along the way, I also earned a Master of Sacred Literature and a Doctor of Religious Studies. For more content from D. Richard Ferguson, visit TreasuringGod.com.

If the Lord asked you to leave behind everything you knew and follow Him to another country, would you go? This is the question that faced Jaron and Kim McFarland. Living a comfortable life in Maine with their seven children and their cow, suddenly the Lord asked them if they were willing to give up, "the way life should be" to bring the Good News of Jesus to Czechia. Almost two decades prior, Kim had taken a trip to the Czech Republic and her report stayed with Jaron—"To my knowledge, I did not come into contact with one other believer." Jaron found himself asking, "If God were to call me, would I be willing?" Listen in to today's podcast to hear testimonies of the Lord's goodness, a surrendered family's zeal to serve Him, and faith in the midst of it all.

Justin Peters examines Jack Graham's congratulatory message to Benny Hinn in light of Scripture's commands concerning false teaching and pastoral responsibility. Reviewing archival investigations, healing claims, and prosperity gospel fundraising appeals, Justin explains why public endorsements matter. From Romans 16:17–18, 2 John 9–11, Titus 1:9, and 1 Timothy 5:22, he calls Christians to test teaching by God's Word and pastors to protect their congregations through sound doctrine.

As a way to illustrate the truth that pursuit of God is a worthwhile endeavor, Jesus now focuses on the choices each member of His audience must make in their day to day lives. Will they respond to Jesus' teaching and receive a positive outcome or consequence OR will they reject Jesus' teaching and receive a negative outcome or consequence?

As you meditate on the truth of the Word today, consider these words that David sang in v. 19 above, and actively engage in what "Selah" calls you to do as you pause and ponder their glorious meaning. What is one of the many reasons that you are to kneel down, praise, and adore your great covenant Lord? He is the great giver of daily benefits to His people.
