Natural disasters are increasing—but Jesus told us they would. In this episode, we explore His warning about famines, plagues, and earthquakes, and what they reveal about the times we’re living in. More importantly, discover how to live with confidence, knowing God is still in control.

Daily engagement with Scripture is vital for spiritual growth. It involves preparing our hearts, examining verses, applying wisdom, and memorizing Scripture.

We are incarcerated by our past. Our low road choices, our high minded pride. We have been found guilty. Our executioner’s footsteps echo against stone walls. We sit on the floor of the dusty cell, awaiting our final moment. We don’t look up as he opens the door; we know what he’s going to say. “Time to pay for your sins!”

But we hear something else. “You’re free to go. They took Jesus instead of you.” The door swings open and the guard barks, “Get out!” And we find ourselves shackles gone, crimes pardoned, wondering, what just happened?

Well, grace just happened. Christ took away your sins. Romans chapter 3 explains that God in his gracious kindness declares us not guilty. For God sent Jesus to take the punishment for our sins. We are made right with God when we believe that Jesus shed his blood, sacrificing his life for us. What happened? Grace happened!
