Bought Back Ministries

Have you ever considered how powerful faith in Christ really is? This week's episode shows that through faith in Christ, we are forgiven of our sins. The only way to live the life that God has for you is to walk with Him in faith. Jesus stands ready to heal and forgive you and to give you new life in Him.

It is a wonderful and exciting thing to witness or even receive a divine healing. However, we often are in need of more than a healing. We need a touch from God. Thankfully, God is not afraid to or ashamed to give us a divine touch when we are in need. Sometimes our pain extends far deeper than just physical in nature. Pain and sickness can leave us with emotional and spiritual needs that are not...

One of the greatest attributes of God is His unfailing compassion. God does not look at us all with frustration and anger, but rather love and forgiveness. We all have sinned in the past, but Christ loves us anyway. He will forgive you of every rotten sin you have committed and shower you with compassion if you will trust Him. I pray this episode brings hope and healing to all who are in need.

Prior to starting anything new, it is important to consider the cost. This is true in relationships, businesses, building projects, etc. This is also true when it comes to following Christ. Jesus calls us to a life of service to Him, which means we will have to sacrifice something along the way. However, there is nothing worth having outside of a relationship with Christ. You will find that follow...

In this episode, we will take a look at the most devastating collision in world history. It took place on a hill outside Jerusalem around two thousand years ago. The effects were both terrifying and glorious, as Jesus Christ purchased our eternal redemption.

When storms are swirling all around us and threaten our safety, Jesus is the Captain we can turn to for safe refuge. Rest...

It is my prayer that God sends revival upon this great land, and we seek His face as on...

It is a sad, hard reality that people suffer. In fact, no one is immune to it. In fact, suffering was so severe in the first century church that Peter's first epistle deals with directly. Peter did not write as one who was unfamiliar with suffering and oppression. The opening verses in the first chapter of 1 Peter show how Christians can rejoice even while they suffer. Join us in this episode...

Living and walking with Christ is the most wonderful and peaceful thing known to man. Those who love and trust Him for forgiveness and salvation are blessed beyond measure. Sadly, however, many people never experience the joy and salvation of the Lord. As a result, they become a puppet of the devil, dancing around in unbelief and disobedience as Satan pulls their strings. Join us in this week'...

The greatest enemies we face are sin and death. These two unholy partners have infiltrated the human race and have left a path of destruction that can be traced back to the Garden of Eden. Thankfully, we have a Savior who has conquered sin and death at the cross, and His name is Jesus Christ. In this week's episode, we find Jesus standing at the tomb of Lazarus as He calls the dead back to life.

In this week's episode, the grace of God is on full display as we discover one of the most beautiful expressions of love and compassion in all of the Bible.

The story of redemption comes to a joyful conclusion as Boaz is finally able to redeem Naomi's land and take Ruth as his wife. This was not only a blessing for everyone involved, but also for humanity as a whole, as Ruth and Boaz were an important part of God's plan to redeem fallen mankind. Ruth and Boaz were ancestors of Jesus Christ, the Ultimate Redeemer.

The relationship between Boaz and Ruth intensifies as Naomi prepares Ruth for a special encounter with Boaz. The story of redemption becomes even more clear as Boaz steps into a role that shows that he is a type of Christ, our Redeemer. However, there is one hurdle that must be cleared.

Even when we cannot feel the presence of God in our lives, we can know from His Word that He is with us. Hard times marked by desperation can sap our energy and take our focus off of God, but rest assured that His focus is never off of you. Join us in this episode where we see a miraculous example of God's guidance, protection, and provision even in the harshest of circumstances.

No one wants to go through tragedy or adversity, but the sad reality is that these are unwelcome parts of our lives. However, God loves us through the pain of life and loves us through our bitterness. This is beautifully portrayed in the Book of Ruth, as we see the beauty of redemption on full display. Join us as we examine the life of two women who trusted the Lord even when they were surrounded...

Our examination of the suffering of Job and evidence of the gospel as the solution to all suffering is culminated in the fact of the resurrection, specifically the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Nearly two thousand years before Christ died on the cross and rose from the dead, Job understood that His Redeemer was alive and that he would see Him in his flesh. This was proven to be a historical realit...

As we continue on Job’s journey with him, we wrestle once again with a familiar and important question: How can man be in the right before God? Seeking further clarification, Job and his friends deal with what seemed like an insurmountable hurdle for them to clear. The answer to this question has eternal stakes at hand, so it is vital that we understand this clearly. We have seen that redemption,...

In this special Good Friday episode, we are going to look at the tremendous struggle and even greater victory that Jesus secured for us on the cross of Calvary. Join with us as we examine the glory of the cross. Thanks be to God for giving His Son to take our place on the cross to purchase our redemption and for giving us the gift of eternal life.

Job’s suffering had reached a point where he “loathed”his life (Job 7:16). Hopelessness surrounded this man of God, and he simply did not understand why he was suffering so terribly. Life was so miserable for Job that he did not want to go on any longer. His life was quickly passing by, andthere seemed to be no end to his pain and tragedy. What Job longed for was life anew. He needed to be “born a...

Job's painful plight continues as Job wrestles with the ever-so-important question: "How can a man be righteous before God?" Job comes face-to-face with his pain and helplessness as he fears that there is no remedy for his suffering. The good news is that there is hope for the suffering soul who deals with feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, and that hope is found in Jesus Christ. Job longe...

Redemption. One of the sweetest words in the English language. It is to buy back one who was in bondage. Every human being is or was in bondage to sin without exception. Jesus has redeemed us, however, from the power and the curse of sin. Come and meet a man named Job, who was a man like many of us. He was well acquainted with suffering and did not understand why. Join us as we demonstrate how Jes...

I pray that God moves in a mig...

Forgiveness of sin is the most important thing we can have. Nothing in life matters if the sin debt that we owe to God stands unresolved. But how can we repay a debt that is far too great for us to afford? How can we bridge a gap that is far too wide? It is simply because Jesus Christ has paid our sin debt for us on the cross. He bore our sins on His body on the cross and canceled the debt that wa...
