Yesterday's Sin, Today's Temptation, & Tomorrow's Judgement
2w ago00:37:12Tap to summarizeTwo thousand years ago, in the seaside city of Caesarea, the Apostle Paul stood on trial before a corrupt Roman governor—and what unfolded reads a little like a championship game. Pastor Jim Scudder walks through Acts 24 play by play—kickoff, offense, defense, the fumble, and the punt—as a smooth-talking lawyer's flattery collides with Paul's fearless defense of the resurrection. But the real drama begins the moment Felix starts to tremble. At the heart of it are three things every one of us must face: yesterday's sin, today's temptation, and tomorrow's judgment. So why did a governor who came "so close" still walk away—and what will you do with the very same choice? Scripture referenced: Acts 24:1-27; Acts 23:3; Proverbs 26:28; Romans 3:22-23; Acts 17:31.
Transcribe →How to Finish Strong - Dr. Scudder's Story
3w ago00:42:50Tap to summarize"When the Bible makes a claim, you can put it to the test." In this tribute message, Pastor Jim Scudder tells the remarkable story of his father—Dr. James Allen Scudder Sr., the founder of this ministry—who would have turned 80 this summer. From a University of Kentucky fraternity house, where a lost but religious young man was "living like the devil" while somehow pastoring a church, to a lonely creek in the Kentucky hills where God forever changed the direction of his life, it is the story of a man who put the promises of God to the test and finished strong. Featuring clips from the video series "Finish Strong" and the two simple verses that transformed everything. The question it leaves with each of us: are you on course to finish strong? Scripture referenced: Isaiah 53:6; 2 Timothy 4:6-8; Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 6:23.
Transcribe →The Spiritual War Against Israel
3w ago00:36:15Tap to summarize"Anybody can say anything about anything." Dr. Phil Stringer traces the ancient—and suddenly resurging—wave of "blood libels" against the Jewish people: false accusations that, if believed, have been used to justify unspeakable violence all through history. Where do these conspiracy theories come from, why are they now spreading through churches with wildfire speed, and what does God's Word actually say about Israel and the peace of Jerusalem? Drawing on his book by the same name, Dr. Stringer warns that when people are given the wrong history, it creates a spiritual crisis—and that the responsibility to tell the truth falls to the church. A timely and sobering call to discernment. Scripture referenced: Psalm 105:6-11; Psalm 122:6; Proverbs 14:15; Exodus 12:35-36; Revelation 3:9.
Transcribe →The Three "T's" of the Christian Life
4w ago00:43:12Tap to summarizeHave you ever walked through a season of life and thought, "What is actually happening to me?" It's easy to lose our spiritual balance—to get disoriented, frustrated, and confused about what God is really doing. In this message, Pastor Mark Julian pulls back the curtain on the process every believer is walking through, and the three "T's" God uses to shape us into the image of His Son. One of them is either happening in your life right now, or it's about to—so how do you stand when it comes? Discover why understanding the difference changes everything about the way you face what lies ahead. Scripture referenced: John 3:16; Psalm 139:23-24; Hebrews 11:17; Psalm 66:10; Romans 8:28-29; 1 Peter 1:6-7; Romans 1:20; Hebrews 4:15; Romans 13:13-14; Galatians 5.
Transcribe →Seeking Freedom – The Story of the Exodus
Jun 1400:35:43Tap to summarizeBeginning the book of Exodus, this message explores the slavery and oppression of the Israelites in Egypt and what archaeology reveals about the historical accuracy of this pivotal biblical account. From the discovery at Avaris to the identity of the Pharaoh of the Exodus, the evidence for Scripture continues to grow. But the deeper message is this: physical slavery is not the worst bondage we face. We are all enslaved to sin — and only one person in history fits the prophecies of Isaiah 53, having come to set us truly and permanently free.
Transcribe →Who Does God Bless?
Jun 1000:36:48Tap to summarizeWho does God bless — and why? In this message, Dr. Phil Stringer opens the Scriptures to explore a question that is both timeless and intensely practical. Drawing from Proverbs 11, the Beatitudes of Matthew 5, and decades of ministry experience, Dr. Stringer traces the marks of a life and a ministry that God delights to bless. He examines God's blessing on soul winners, on those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, on the merciful, the pure in heart, the peacemakers, and even those who suffer persecution for doing right. Along the way, Dr. Stringer weaves in candid and often humorous stories from the mission field and the pastorate that bring these principles to life. An encouraging and challenging message for anyone who longs to see the hand of God at work in their life and ministry.
Transcribe →"What Mean Ye By These Stones?" — Celebrating God's Miracles
Jun 700:24:59Tap to summarizeOn the occasion of the dedication of Dayspring Bible College & Seminary's new campus on Salem Lake in Long Grove, Illinois, Pastor Jim Scudder delivers a message of celebration and faith rooted in Joshua 4. Just as God commanded Israel to set up twelve stones as a memorial of His miraculous provision at the Jordan River, this message calls believers to recognize and remember the miracles God works — both the extraordinary and the less noticed. Drawing on the remarkable story of Dayspring's two campus acquisitions, Pastor Scudder challenges the congregation to cultivate eyes of faith that see God's hand in all things. The message concludes with a call to the greatest miracle of all — the redemption of a sinner through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Transcribe →When It Doesn't Make Sense
Jun 300:27:40Tap to summarizeWhen life isn't adding up, the answer isn't to find more resources — it's to subtract yourself and put Christ in the equation. Patrick Oduro, a missionary and Dayspring Bible College alumnus now serving in his home country of Ghana, brings a powerful message from the feeding of the five thousand. Using Philip's doubt-filled response and Andrew's small but faithful offering as a backdrop, he challenges believers to trust the foreknowledge of Christ, recognize that God often works through obscure and seemingly insignificant means, and remember that little is much when God is in it. With personal stories from the mission field and a clear gospel presentation, this message is a timely reminder that faith is the simple medicine for desperate souls — and that our God is still a miracle-working God.
Transcribe →Looking Beyond this Life - Joseph's Legacy
May 3100:47:50Tap to summarizeJacob and Joseph both died and were buried, but both knew that their existence would continue past the grave. Learn how to live for eternity and leave a lasting legacy in this message at Quentin Road as Pastor Jim Scudder continues his series from Genesis.
Transcribe →The Sacrifice We Often Forget
May 2400:41:51Tap to summarizeIn this message we pause to remember those who paid the ultimate price for our freedom. Forgetting a sacrifice on our behalf has devastating consequences. The consequences of spiritual forgetfulness are far worse than most Christians realize. In a letter to an ancient church, we'll find that forgetting can result in losing our first love and eventually our first works. We'll discover an amazing example of what "first works" look like.
