TODAY'S EPISODE:

Welcome to Daily Radio Bible! In today’s episode, Hunter guides us through a rich journey in scripture, pausing to reflect on powerful stories from Exodus 35-36 and Acts 10. We see the community of Israel responding with generous hearts, offering their skills and resources to build the tabernacle. Then, in the book of Acts, we encounter Cornelius, a Roman officer whose prayers and gifts are noticed by God, and witness the profound moment when God’s impartial love shatters old boundaries—reminding us that Jesus’ message is for everyone, regardless of background or status.

Hunter invites us to warm our hearts by the fires of God’s presence, to be renewed in the good news that isn’t transactional, but a declaration of what God has already accomplished for all people. Don’t miss today’s encouragement to walk in the joy and strength of the gospel, remain open to the miracles God may bring, and remember—you are deeply loved.

TODAY'S DEVOTION:

His life is for everyone, and he is impartial. Jesus’ message of life is impartial and he has no favorites. It envelops everyone, regardless of nationality or political affiliation, race or gender. It doesn’t matter. Jesus has come to undo all that was done in Adam. And everyone is included, even those we think are far beyond the pale of God’s love. Don’t call unclean what I have made clean is the message Peter was given.

And Cornelius, in Peter’s estimation, prior to this moment, would have been unclean. Even though Cornelius was a good man. As soon as Peter walks in the door, this good man was ready to fall down and worship Peter. Good people are falling down and worshiping the wrong things all the time. But God is revealing himself to good people everywhere. And the answer for all people, good or bad, is not, “Here’s a list of good things that you must do in order to be made right with God.” No, it’s not transactional that way.

It’s not, “If you do this, then God will do that.” No, it is a declaration of what God has done on behalf of all of humanity, good people included. It’s not a sales pitch. It’s good news and it’s for everyone. And it must be proclaimed to everyone, even those you might think are unclean and far from God. That’s what Peter is learning, and that’s what is being declared. So let’s be renewed in this gospel, this gospel of Jesus, this message of what God has done for us in Christ.

Let’s walk in his transforming power. He is the one who makes good people, new people; broken people, healed people; unclean people, clean people; and dead people, alive. He has done it all, and it is finished. That’s the gospel, and it’s for everyone, even me and you. So let’s walk in it today. Let’s rejoice in that today. And whatever appointment God has for you, be ready to respond. He’s impartial, and his message envelops everyone.

And you never know what miracle might be on its way. And the prayer of my own heart today is that I will see that. That I’ll root myself in this declaration of what is—and what is, my friend, is really good. And that’s a prayer for my own soul. That’s a prayer for my family, for my wife and 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.
