TODAY'S EPISODE:

Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this December 13th, Hunter guides us through day 348 of our year-long journey in the Scriptures. Today’s episode invites listeners into the heart of Hebrews chapters 9 through 11, exploring the transformative power of faith and Christ’s ultimate sacrifice. Hunter reflects on how the old covenant paved the way for the new—showing that the hope of believers isn’t rooted in personal performance, but in the faithful work of God through Jesus. Along the way, you’ll hear stories of ordinary men and women who lived by faith, prayers for peace, and encouragement to hold tightly to hope and to walk in God's purposes each day. Whether you’re facing a time of challenge or moving forward in joy, this episode is here to remind you: you are loved.

TODAY'S DEVOTION:

Faith is our participation in God's purposes in this world. People of faith understand that the universe is created by God, that He is a good God, and that he rewards those who seek after Him. People of faith have hope not in their own performance, but in the performance of God. They hope not in their works, but in the completed work of Christ.

People of faith recognize their need of God. Their reputation here in this world is rarely recognized, but they have a reputation somewhere else. They have a reputation with God as those who know and love Him and those who are known and loved by Him. God is not so much concerned about the quality of our faith as the object of our faith. Our faith is in Him. He’s not asking us to conjure up more faith. No, He wants us to awaken to the One who was faithful, to put our trust in Him, in His ultimate faithfulness to the Father, in accomplishing all of the Father’s purposes.

And now our faith enables us to see that and to participate in what God is doing now here among us, to walk with Him and to continue to know and discover His heart—not only for us, but for the whole world. And the prayer of my own heart today is that I will walk by faith, that I will participate with Him in His purposes and His plan and in His joy. That’s a prayer that I have for my family, too, for my wife, my daughters and my son. And that’s a prayer that I have for you. May it be so.

TODAY'S PRAYERS:

Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.  

Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.  

And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen

And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray...

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.
