Are you able to thank God when things don't seem to be going well? Is that even possible? Jesse Bradley thinks so and shares on it in this edition of "Bonfire".
Why would anyone put "death" and "the goodness of God" together? Listen to Jesse Bradley explain why in this edition of "Bonfire" as part of the exploration of life.
The Holy Spirit in us is greater than the darkness and the demons in the world. Put your confidence in God and His Word. In a culture loud with lies, pressure, and confusion, Jesus pulls us back to the kind of greatness He modeled—humble, servant‑hearted, steady, and rooted in truth. When everything feels overwhelming, lean into the God who is always greater, always working, and always leading us toward something better than what we’re tempted to settle for.
When the Greek widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food, Philip stepped in and became part of the solution. Filled with faith, wisdom, and the Holy Spirit, he later shared the good news of Jesus in Samaria, bringing hope, healing, and freedom to many, and then led an Ethiopian man to faith and baptism. Philip’s journey took him across cultural and ethnic boundaries, reaching Greeks, Samaritans, and Africans, reflecting God’s heart for all people. His life challenges us to expand our vision and participate in God’s mission through going, sending, praying, welcoming, mobilizing, and reaching people online, knowing that one day people from every nation, tribe, and tongue will worship together in heaven.
Sometimes we hit seasons where we just want to make good choices and not feel like we’re stumbling our way through life—and Solomon gets that. He stepped into a huge calling, felt the weight of it, and simply asked God for wisdom… and God poured it out in a way that still blesses us today. When we stop overthinking and start trusting what God says, His Word becomes the steady guide that helps us live with clarity, courage, and purpose.
