Mark 11:27-33 I was born in 1958. Growing up in the 1960s and 1970s was a time of significant change. The generation born after World War II rapidly rejected earlier generations’ social mores. A slogan from that era said, “Don’t trust anyone over 30.” The focus wasn’t on what was right and what benefited society. […]
James 3:13-18 It is a privilege to be with you again today; thanks for being there. This is our third lesson in a row dealing with our words. Last week, we learned about a monster, our tongue, and two weeks ago, it was “Watch Your Mouth.” Today’s title is “Words of Wisdom,” we look inside: […]
Mark 11:22-26 Have you ever heard of the Haystack Prayer Meeting? In 1806, Samuel Mills, a college student from Williamstown, Massachusetts, felt a burden to pray for foreign missions. Until then, mission organizations in the United States were solely dedicated to domestic work on the Western frontier and among First Nations tribes. But Mills prayed […]
James 3:7-12 Thanks so much for joining us for another lesson in the book of James. Heralds of Hope produces this program. Along with my job here at Heralds of Hope, I also teach school.

Mark 11:12-21 What’s your first response when you hear the word religion? Do your ears automatically close? Do you groan inwardly or announce the end of the conversation? If so, why? Do you think of personal faith, a formal institution, or a set of prescribed practices or behaviors? It is a word I seldom use […]

Mark 11:1-11 What would you give to know the future? If we could see the future, we could prepare accordingly. We’d know which roads are accident-free or how to invest for maximum gains. We might know how to avoid risk and pain in our choices. Sometimes, when someone predicts the future, we ask, “Are you […]
James 2:14-26 It is good to be with you again today. Thank you for being there. Our study in James has brought us to the middle of chapter 2. Today’s lesson is the section where James discusses faith and works. This discussion is big, and it is hard for us to keep these two balanced. […]
Mark 10:46-52 Sight is one of the fantastic five senses God has given us. Some people consider it to be the greatest of the five. For those who can see, we too often take this blessing for granted. The process of sight in human development is fascinating. Newborns can only see things within 8 to […]
