You’re sure to be disappointed if you’re looking for perfect pastors or spiritual leaders—there are none. Perfection is not the standard to measure against for anyone in the church, but rather spiritual growth, Christlikeness, and godliness. This episode examines 1 Thessalonians 5:12-15, where the Apostle Paul urges believers to know their spiritual leaders, esteem them highly in love for their sacrificial work, and maintain peace in the church family. The church as a whole is then called to maintain certain godly characteristics, producing a harmony that makes it a powerful light for the gospel.

Many believers serve the church and work behind the scenes, often performing unappreciated tasks. But any and all service for Christ is essential and none of it goes unnoticed by Him. As the Apostle Paul closes his letter to the believers in Rome, he lists several people—Phoebe, Priscilla and Aquila, Mary, and many others—who worked tirelessly as servants, helpers, and fellow prisoners. These unsung co-laborers were essential to the life and work of the church in Rome. God honors all who serve selflessly with eternal recognition, and unites this diverse group as one Body, in Christ, proving no believer is unimportant.

The lesson dramatically recounts the trap set by scribes and Pharisees in John 8, who drag a woman caught in adultery before Jesus—testing if He will uphold Moses’ law by stoning her. Jesus stoops twice to write silently in the dust, then stands and declares, “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her,” exposing the accusers’ guilt. Alone with the woman, Jesus upholds the law yet extends mercy, saying, “Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more,” because He would soon bear her (and our) sins on the Cross, calling her (and us) to a transformed life of gratitude and obedience.

In Colossians 3:10-14, the Apostle Paul shifts from instructing believers in verses 5-9 to “put off the old man with his deeds” (anger, wrath, malice, filthy talk) and to “put on the new man.” This episode demonstrates that we do this by daily clothing ourselves with Christ’s virtues: mercy, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering, forbearance, forgiveness (as He forgave us), and above all charity (love), which binds them perfectly. By the Holy Spirit’s power, we thus demonstrate Christ’s life outwardly, honoring our identity as God’s elect, holy, and beloved.

We are reminded in Colossians 3 that believers who have died and risen with Christ are called to set their affections on things above—focusing on Christ and the eternal unseen—rather than earthly things, living in light of their secure union with Him and His soon return. This heavenly mindset leads to practically “putting off the old man” by mortifying sins such as sexual immorality, covetousness, anger, malice, filthy speech, and lying, which characterized their former life. Instead, they are to live consistently with their new identity in Christ, empowered by His resurrection life to walk in holiness and freedom.

Mere months prior, the disciples had already seen Christ feed an even greater crowd, but they still doubted Him when this second case of “food insecurity” arose. We can’t be too hard on them, however, because we do the same thing. We forget what the Lord has done for us in the past, and we doubt, when difficult circumstances come into our lives. This lesson on Jesus' feeding of 4,000 men (15,000 with women and children) from Matthew 15 revisits how Jesus multiplied seven loaves and a few small fish—fully satisfying everyone and even providing leftovers—underscoring the ongoing call to trust Christ's limitless power and compassion to meet our physical and spiritual needs.

This teaching on the feeding of the 5,000—the only miracle recorded in all four Gospels—recounts how Jesus was followed by a massive crowd of about 20,000 (5,000 men plus women and children), that was drawn by His healings. Moved with compassion, He taught them about the kingdom of God, healed their sick, and then multiplied five barley loaves and two small fish that fully satisfied all, while also providing significant leftovers. This miracle proved Jesus as Israel’s Messiah and King, illustrates future kingdom provision, and teaches the Body of Christ today about God’s abundant grace, and trusting Him in seemingly impossible situations.

Knowing of God’s presence in our lives and wherever we go, we can live fearlessly for Christ. In this teaching on 2 Timothy 1:7, the Apostle Paul reminds Timothy that “God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” The lesson goes on to illustrate how every believer is a vital “key,” whose spiritual gift must be actively used in the Body of Christ. God has already given us the Holy Spirit’s power to serve boldly, His love that casts out fear, and a disciplined, self-controlled mind—equipping us to stand unashamedly for the gospel of grace.

The outcome of the fight between David and Goliath was certainly unexpected to all who were present that day. In this episode, we continue our walk through this well-known account and then see how it all points forward to the Seed of David, the Lord Jesus Christ. In the face of discouragement, David refuses to be deterred and declares that the Lord will deliver him from this uncircumcised Philistine who defies “the armies of the living God.” Ultimately, David miraculously triumphs over Goliath in a battle that pictures Christ facing off against the devil at the Cross, where God delivers total victory over sin, death, and Satan.

The most famous battle in the Old Testament was not fought between two armies, but instead between two men. In this teaching on 1 Samuel 17, the Philistines set up a nearby camp opposite Israel, where their champion giant Goliath emerges twice daily to taunt the Israelite army with a one-on-one representative challenge, as he defies “the armies of the living God.” David, a young shepherd who is sent by his father with food supplies for his three older brothers at the front, arrives at the battlefield just as Goliath issues the challenge again and is ready by faith to accept the fight. The account contrasts man’s focus on outward appearances with inwardly trusting in God’s presence and power, a principle for believers today facing spiritual battles.
