The Daily Memo | April 3, 2023 | A Snake on a Pole
Listen The Israelites themselves grumbled against God and against Moses (Numbers 21:4–5). Despite all that God had done for them, they were not satisfied and rebelled against him. Their rebellion could not go unchecked, and so God initially sent judgment on the people (verse 6). God’s ultimate plan though was to redeem and bless his people, restoring their relationship with him. They confessed their sin and ‘the Lord said to Moses, “Make a snake and…

The Daily Memo | March 31, 2023 | The Answer to Loneliness
Listen Former England Football Captain, David Beckham, recounts being sent off in the 1998 World Cup Finals: “It was probably the longest walk in my life… looking back I’m not sure what thoughts were going through my mind: it was a swirl of fear, guilt, anger, worry and confusion. My head was spinning… I walked into the dressing room. The rules stated that I had to stay in there for the remainder of the match. England lost. We were out of the World.…

The Daily Memo | March 30, 2023 | Always Be Generous
Listen Generosity is a beautiful characteristic in people. We love and admire generosity. How do you think of God? Do you think of him as a little bit mean or tight-fisted? Or do you think of him as extraordinarily generous? God’s generosity is seen in the natural world. For example, there are over 25,000 varieties of orchids. The orchid is just one of 270,000 species of flowers. God does not do things by halves. In our galaxy there are over 100 billion stars like our.…

The Daily Memo | March 29, 2023 | How to Resist Temptation
Listen The Sirens were three mysterious women who, according to Homer’s Odyssey, lived on an island. Whenever a ship passed by, they would stand on the cliffs and sing. Their beautiful song would tempt sailors closer and closer until eventually they were shipwrecked on the rocks below. Odysseus was curious to hear the Sirens’ song but was well aware of the dangers. He ordered his men to tie him to the mast as they approached the island and then to plug their own…

The Daily Memo | March 28, 2023 | A Thousand Generations
Listen I was listening to a Bible reading plan on the YouVersion app when I heard Deuteronomy 7:9 in the Good News Translation. “Remember that the Lord your God is the only God and that he is faithful. He will keep his covenant and show his constant love to a thousand generations of those who love him and obey his commands,” I thought to myself, is it possible that Jesus would wait for a thousand generations to come back? How many generations have passed since…

85. Healing Rhythms | Steve & Colleen Adams with Michael Kurtz
There's an ebb and flow to the rhythms of life. There's also an ebb and flow to the process we experience in our own healing journey through Christ. Today Colleen and Steve invited Michael Kurtz to have a conversation about how we approach that journey and what those rhythms might look like in your life. But when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all,…

The Daily Memo | March 27, 2023 | Sanctified and Special
Listen Do you feel special, or does a sense of insignificance hang over you like a cloud? The good news is that every believer is special in the Lord’s eyes, and He’s set you apart for Himself. Since you now belong to Him, you’re not here on this earth to live as you please. You exist to bring glory and honor to Him by becoming more and more like His Son in your character, conduct, and conversation. It’s not a matter of following a list of rules, but…

The Daily Memo | March 24, 2023 | He Decides
Listen Some of the most important decisions in life are made at an early age. Should I go to college, head into the workforce, or beg for more time under my parents’ roof? Which college or trade school will I attend? What will be my major or vocation? Then there’s the nebulous question of my life’s calling and purpose. Oh, and who should I marry and when, if ever? I don’t know about you, but I made a few of those decisions without consulting my,…
