TODAY'S EPISODE:
Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible for June 19th. Join your Bible reading coach, Hunter, as we journey through 2 Kings 1–3, Psalm 82, and 1 Timothy 1. Today’s episode brings us dramatic accounts of prophets, kings, and the power of God’s word—from Elijah’s fiery confrontations to Elisha’s miracles and Paul’s letter encouraging faith and love over legalism. As we listen, reflect, and pray together, we’re reminded not to miss the heart of the gospel: a life transformed by love, a clean conscience, and genuine faith. Settle in for a time of scripture, reflection, and gratitude as we allow God’s living word to direct our hearts.

TODAY'S DEVOTION:
Don’t Miss the Point
We are so prone to miss the point when we misapply the law. We think that being right with God will come from getting all the rules just so, or being an expert in Scripture, but that can lead us down a path of pride and arrogance—or to self-loathing and despair. When we try to justify ourselves by the law, we find ourselves engaged in a colossal exercise in missing the point. Paul put it clearly to Timothy: “Some people have missed the whole point. They have turned away from these things and spend their time in meaningless discussions.” The simple, profound gospel received by faith is what fills our hearts with love, cleanses our conscience of guilt, and makes us new.
Paul reminds Timothy of this central truth: the purpose of this whole instruction—the point—is that believers would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith. This is the real deal. This is the work that God longs to do in us as His Spirit abides in His people: a new heart, a clean conscience, a new life. That’s a gift. It’s not something to be achieved by mastering the law; the change comes from the Master who abides in us.
Through His Spirit, God is reclaiming what was lost. Be certain of this: the power and beauty of the gospel isn’t about us mastering the law, but letting the Master master us. When we surrender our hearts, when we let God be God within us, living in the reality of “Christ in you,” we are far less likely to miss the love, generosity, and peace that we long for.
That life will be yours—and when it is, you’ll have something beautiful to offer the world. That’s the prayer I have for my own soul. That’s the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that’s the prayer I have for you. May it be so.

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, thy 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.
