What happens when someone in the church refuses to repent? Is it loving to confront them; or should we just stay quiet? In this sobering episode, Stephen Davey explains the biblical framework for church discipline and the holy obligation members have to one another in matters of sin and accountability. Using passages from 1 Corinthians, Titus, Galatians, and 3 John, Stephen traces how church discipline is a spiritual act of love, not judgmentalism. He highlights the difference between discipling the willing and disciplining the defiant. You’ll hear what happened when one early church member, Diotrephes, abused his power and divided the church. Stephen also answers tough questions about judging others, when discipline is necessary, and how to respond with grace and truth. Whether dealing with doctrinal error, divisive behavior, or moral failure, the goal is always repentance, restoration, and the health of the body. Church discipline isn’t easy, but it’s essential. Without it, churches drift. With it, they grow stronger. This message will equip you to understand, embrace, and uphold a practice many fear, but Scripture clearly commands.

As Christians, we look forward to the day Jesus Christ returns in triumph over evil. How should His future return influence our lives right now? Dr. David Jeremiah offers some answers straight from God’s Word, and shares more details on Jesus’ victory over the Antichrist and False Prophet.

God has never encountered a problem or a crisis too big for Him to handle. He’s never said, “Uh-oh.” So when we encounter something we can’t handle, we need to look to our God who can handle anything. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, as Pastor Greg Laurie returns to our studies of the life of David, we’ll see what happened when David faced a giant-sized problem. It’s a familiar story, but sometimes we miss the practical application. That’s Pastor Greg’s focus as we begin today’s study.

Some tend to think that God only uses perfect people . . . people with no blindspots, no failings, no shortcomings. But the more we study the Bible, the more we see how God used imperfect people to do remarkable things for His Kingdom. How can we be the kind of person God is looking for?

od’s name is to be protected and proclaimed. Christians know that His name is holy—not to be misused through swearing, cursing, or improper oath-taking.

Dr. Stanley highlights the dangers of a hardened heart as he teaches from Exodus 20 and Mark 6.

How do believers from every background, personality, and preference truly get along? In this message from Ephesians 4:1–6, Stephen Davey explores the attitudes that hold the church together in a world full of division. Unity in the church isn’t based on uniformity—it’s not about everyone looking the same or thinking alike. Instead, it’s rooted in humility, gentleness, patience, and grace. Stephen walks through Paul’s practical teaching on how to preserve unity, rather than break it, and offers a powerful reminder that spiritual harmony doesn’t happen automatically—it’s protected through intentional, Spirit-led effort. You’ll learn how humility quiets pride, how patience responds in love, and how grace empowers you to forgive. You’ll also be reminded that unity is one of the most powerful witnesses of the gospel to a watching world. This episode challenges every believer to make the church a place of peace—not preference. A place of joy—not judgment. And a place where people of all kinds not only worship Christ together, but treat each other as family.

What do a wedding and a dinner have to do with the Second Coming of Christ? There’s more to their meaning than meets the eye. Dr. David Jeremiah returns to Revelation chapter nineteen where a heavenly celebration is about to give way to a solemn ceremony.

Dr. Carson and Robby share personal losses and remind listeners that God is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). They encourage believers to hold onto eternal hope, even when life doesn’t make sense. Through grief and tragedy, praising God becomes an act of faith that defies darkness.
