This Week - January 19, 2025

Inauguration

Broadcast Date: January 19, 2025
I would like to share a story that happened over a hundred years ago. Young Melvin was just a boy when he received his first great lesson in Americanism. Utah had just become a state, and it was their first presidential election. Melvin’s father was active in polities, and had been working diligently to get his candidate elected. But…

Dawni's Disappointment

Broadcast Date: January 19, 2025
For two and one-half months Dawni had prepared for this day. It was the school assembly, and it was her first solo performance on the drums. Now, it had been a struggle for her to get to this point. Initially her father had been against her playing the drums, but he had finally relented and said, “Okay” in the face of her tears and…

Michael's Phone Call

Broadcast Date: January 19, 2025
Early on in my life, I had some real misconceptions about God. I thought that He was some sort of a tyrant just waiting to ‘git me’ when I made a mistake. Ah, I’ve since come to realize that that’s not the way He is at all. He expects me to make mistakes; that’s part of the plan. I mean, how else can I learn? When I have problems…

Feed My Sheep

Broadcast Date: January 19, 2025
I am grateful for those people who have translated their religion into more than meetings and preachings. They put it into action. They get into people’s lives – into their space – and they make a difference. And I want to be more like ‘em. Now, along those lines, would you please consider this story? Margaret opened her eyes to the…

Tom

Broadcast Date: January 19, 2025
Sometimes – oh sometimes what we most need in this difficult world is a friend, someone who’s encouragement is constant who won’t coddle us, but won’t let us be beaten up either. May I share an example of what I mean? It was a warm summer afternoon. Tom was out on the back patio of his Las Vegas home when he heard shouting and angry…

Last Week

The Other Sheep

Broadcast Date: January 12, 2025
The record says Jesus ministered in Palestine. Well, that is a relatively tiny world of some 12,000 square miles, and yet Jesus was the Savior of all mankind in a world so much larger! The Bible is the record of Judah, and the New Testament, the record of the Savior’s dealings with the Jews in that little piece of real estate along the Mediterranean. Have you ever…

Warm Bricks

Broadcast Date: January 12, 2025
Have you ever noticed how children, when they reach a certain age, want their own space? They even become militant about it? Well, Brent was no different. At age sixteen he wanted his own room badly enough to move his bed into a tiny dark unheated room in the basement. Wintertime was especially challenging, and since there was no heat and winters were bitterly cold,…

The Vision of Enoch

Broadcast Date: January 12, 2025
You know, there are a lot of people on this earth. Has it ever crossed your mind ‘how in the world can God keep track of all of us?’ – I mean, let alone love us and hear us? There’s (There’re) quite a few of us. Well, if that has ever bothered you, please consider this touching story recorded by Moses from the life of Enoch the prophet. After Enoch built his…

The Switch

Broadcast Date: January 12, 2025
A few days ago – and you’ve probably had this happen to you – I was in a hurry to get somewhere when I was caught by a train. Slowly that thing rolled to a stop directly across my path. A man jumped off and walked a few yards ahead to a switch. He grabbed the lever, and he moved this little tiny section of rail just a few inches, thus enabling the train to move to a…

Nicknames

Broadcast Date: January 12, 2025
Jesus is our Savior. Now, if all there was to His being our Savior was His redeeming sacrifice, then the Savior’s work ended nearly 2000 years ago. But I want you to know that such is not the case; His redeeming work is not done. He is still involved in our lives. One of the reasons that Jesus is our Savior is because of His ability to see the divine in each one us…
