TODAY'S EPISODE:

Welcome back to the Daily Radio Bible, where we journey through the pages of scripture together each day. I'm Hunter, your Bible reading coach and brother, guiding you through this transformative adventure. Today, we continue our year-long commitment to read through the entire Bible—covering Zechariah chapters 10 to 12, Psalm 126, and Luke 14. But more than just reading, our aim is to encounter the God who is love.

In today's readings, we witness God's promise to strengthen and restore His people in Zechariah, the joyful return of exiles in Psalm 126, and Jesus' profound teachings on humility and discipleship in Luke. Through these passages, we are invited to examine our own lives, give up our self-interests, and embrace the new life offered by Christ. Together, let's listen, reflect, and be transformed by the Word of God. And remember, as always, you are loved—absolutely no doubt about it! So, let's dive in.

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.
