Understanding Our Perilous Times

GUEST: JAN MARKELL

CURRENT PROGRAM: January 24, 2026

CURRENT PROGRAM: January 24, 2026

GUEST: MATT MORRELL, Pastor, Fourth Baptist Church (Plymouth, MN)

As we start the year, we don’t know what lies ahead, whether with world events, the economy, personal health, and many other things. Just consider the horrific wildfires causing destruction and death in Los Angeles and remember to pray for those impacted.

The bottom line: Life is uncertain but storms are certain.

Jesus concluded His most well-known sermon, the Sermon on the Mount, this way:

Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall” (Mt. 7:24-27).

The beginning of a new year provides a good opportunity for Christians to self-examine. Are you and I making choices to build the house of our lives on the foundation of Christ and His Word?

This weekend Matt Morrell, pastor of Fourth Baptist Church and president of Central Seminary in Plymouth, MN, will join us to discuss two of his recent sermons about our foundation in life and personal sanctification. Matt is also one of the featured teachers at The Overcomer Course for Young Adults this coming June 20-21.

Later in the program, Andrew DeBartolo, host of Liberty Coalition in Canada, will join us to discuss the resignation of prime minister Justin Trudeau.


RELATED SERMONS by Pastor Matt Morrell:

A major life transition takes place during the young adult years—from dependence to independence, education to vocation, and being single to (perhaps) married. The convictions developed and decisions made during this crucial time sets one’s course for years to come.

In eight interactive sessions over two days addressing life’s most important issues, The Overcomer Course is designed to help young adults gain clarity and conviction on God’s plan and their purpose in it.

Check out the schedule and registration information. $99 registration fee is all-inclusive of meals, course notes, gift bag of resources, and t-shirt.

GUEST: GREG KOUKL, PRESIDENT, STAND TO REASON The worldview divide between biblical Christians and the rest of society, whether secular or religious, has never been wider.  Yet our “commission” remains the same—to “make disciples” of Jesus Christ (Matt. 28:19-20). Before someone becomes a disciple, they must first “repent and believe in the [...]

The scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves in the chair of Moses; therefore all that they tell you, do and observe, but do not do according to their deeds; for they say things and do not do them. —Jesus (Matthew 23:2-3) During the earthly life of Christ, the Pharisees were a [...]

Righteousness belongs to You, O Lord, but to us open shame, as it is this day.  Daniel 9:7 Do you ever watch the cultural and moral battles of our day and think, “Is what is taking place actually for real?” For example, boys and girls are encouraged to choose their gender (as [...]

“Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.”  Ephesians 6:4 You will alter the future if you influence the young.  Looking at recent news stories, “indoctrinate the young” is a more accurate description.  Consider: 16-year-old Swedish “climate activist” Greta Thunberg [...]
