📖  Luke 2:1–5 (ESV) 1 In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. 2 This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3 And all went to be registered, each to his own town. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house an...

When God gives a promise, do we respond with faith—or with doubt like Zechariah? In this episode, we explore how even a faithful priest struggled to believe the impossible, and how God turned his silence into a powerful testimony of grace.

Luke 1:1–4 (ESV) 1 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things that have been accomplished among us, 2 just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us, 3 it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, 4 that you may...

Proverbs 31:12–31 (ESV) 12 She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life. 13 She seeks wool and flax, and works with willing hands. 14 She is like the ships of the merchant; she brings her food from afar. 15 She rises while it is yet night and provides food for her household and portions for her maidens. 16 She considers a field and buys it; with the fruit of her hands she plants a vin...

Proverbs 31:10–11 (ESV) 10 An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. 11 The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain.

Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy.” In this episode, Pastor Nazario Sinon shares the final part of Lemuel’s mother’s counsel — a call to justice and compassion.

Proverbs 31:1–3 (ESV) “The words of King Lemuel. An oracle that his mother taught him: What are you doing, my son? What are you doing, son of my womb? What are you doing, son of my vows? Do not give your strength to women, your ways to those who destroy kings.” Pastor Nazario Sinon reflects on the godly wisdom passed from a mother to her son — a king destined to lead. These verses remind us that m...

Proverbs 31:4–7 (ESV) “It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, or for rulers to take strong drink, lest they drink and forget what has been decreed and pervert the rights of all the afflicted.

Proverbs 30:33 (ESV) teaches us: “For pressing milk produces curds, pressing the nose produces blood, and pressing anger produces strife.” Every action brings a reaction — just as churning milk makes butter, or twisting a nose causes bleeding, provoking anger leads inevitably to conflict. In this episode, Pastor Nazario Sinon explains how Proverbs 30:33 warns against the dangers of agitation and p...

Proverbs 30:32 calls us to humility and self-control:  “If you have been foolish, exalting yourself, or if you have been devising evil, put your hand on your mouth.” Pastor Nazario Sinon reminds us that arrogant or careless speech reveals a heart far from wisdom.
