TODAY'S EPISODE:

Welcome to another episode of Daily Radio Bible. Today, Hunter delves into the timeless principle found in Scripture, commonly known as the Golden Rule: "Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you." But as Hunter reminds us, embodying this maxim isn't just about our efforts—it's about stepping through the door that Jesus, the one who perfectly lived out this teaching, has opened for us.

Hunter guides us through the tough journey that pursuing such a life entails, highlighting the narrow and challenging path that few find but is accessible through dying to our selfish desires and turning to Christ. This transformative way of living is not earned by our own hands but is a gift from the gracious God, our good Father who doesn't deceive but provides abundantly for His children.

With eyes open to the essence of our identity found in our relationship with God, Hunter encourages us to live by the Spirit of Christ, which naturally produces good fruit in our lives. It's not merely an instruction but an invitation to participate in the divine life and experience the goodness of God's heart.

So let us lean in, ready to be reminded of our true nature as God's beloved and the joyous life that springs forth from living in Him. Join us on today's episode of Daily Radio Bible, as we seek to live with a deeper understanding of who we are in Christ, and the beautiful fruits that follow.

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, they 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.
