Every Last Word with Dr. Philip Graham Ryken
Knowing For Sure
October 6, 2024
Doubt. Little by little it gnaws away at the soul. Now to be sure, there are times when Christianity seems to make all the sense in the world—when the mysteries of the faith appear so certain that it would be foolish even to call them into question, and yet there are also times when we have our doubts. Dr. Philip Ryken answers the question, "How can I know for sure?" on Every Last Word.

Magnificat
November 3, 2024
After long months of pregnancy and hard hours of labor, old Elizabeth had her baby, and the whole town came over to celebrate. In a small village, any birth is a public event, but under these circumstances it was especially so. This child was to proclaim the coming of the Messiah and bring about the new covenant. Dr. Philip Ryken teaches about the birth of John the Baptist on Every Last Word.

Magnificat

The Annunciation

Getting Ready for Jesus
October 13, 2024
As the early Christians looked back at Jesus' ministry, they recognized what God had done through Him. They also realized that God's work had actually been started through John the Baptist. John was the forerunner, the herald, sent ahead to announce the coming of Christ. Dr. Philip Ryken teaches about getting ready for Jesus on Every Last Word.

Art for God's Sake
September 29, 2024
Have you ever looked at a work of modern art and been puzzled as to its message or purpose? So much of the art in the world today seems to be odd that we find it hard to fit it into our Christian world-view. But what's the bigger question … what role do the arts play in the church today? What does God say about the arts? And what kind of art glorifies God?

You belong to me." Did you know that there are over 50 songs that have been written about those four simple words? Jazz, pop, country -- artists of all kinds of music have written lyrics about this concept that conveys such strong feelings. But these feelings didn't start with us.

Sweet Alter of Prayer
September 15, 2024
Is your prayer life where you want it to be? Do you ever feel like the words you're trying to lift up to God's ear just fall to the floor the minute they leave your lips? We all feel like that at times.

The Big Picture
September 8, 2024
Have you ever wondered what your purpose in life is? It's easy to wonder -- we don't always feel like our lives are achieving any greatness. Well, there is a purpose...but with all the difficulties and distractions of daily life, it is easy for us to get lost in the details.

The Ordination of the Priests
September 1, 2024
We often describe our Christian communities as a "body of believers" or "God's church family." You might call yourself a "believer" or a "follower of Christ." But do you ever think of yourself as a priest, or as part of a royal priesthood?

Fit for a Priest
August 25, 2024
Most of us wear our "Sunday best" for church. We try to look a little nicer than normal, as it's after all for worship. So too the priests of Israel had fine garments they had to wear when entering into God's presence. But one Priest didn't wear them when he made His sacrifice. He didn't need outward splendor -- he had a splendor all his own.
