I thought it was case closed. The tree, however, had other thoughts and out of that stump grew a shoot, then another and another. Today we have a beautiful… “bush”. In today’s message, “Hope from the Tree Stump”, Ben shares how Jesus’ birth is God making good on a promise of hope from a different kind of stump… for all of us… To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/326/29?v=20251111

  • Life Between the Trees

    Life Between the Trees
    2025/12/04
    Welcome to the TCH broadcast! TCH is a ministry of Gospel Broadcasting Mission.GBM’s mission is to broadcast the message of Jesus, in their own language, to unreached people groups and tribes world-wide.There is a lot of history, a lot of meaning behind the Christmas Tree. Some would say it is pagan in its origins, others give it meaning that goes back to the original sin. But there is a danger in getting caught up in the world’s version of the Christmas Tree and missing the real meaning of Christmas. This Christmas season, Ben Cachiaras, the lead minister with Mountain Christian Church in Joppa, Maryland, is helping us look past the “rif-raf” of the world’s version of Christmas to see the really big picture of what Christmas represents in a series Ben calls “Don’t Miss the Forest for the Tree”. Imagine with me, for a moment… in the middle of the most perfect garden you can imagine; a tree. This is no ordinary tree, it is the tree of life, eternal life. Now, imagine again, that tree made new, this time near the throne of the eternal, creator God. You know, you and I, we live in a space between those two trees. Got your attention? Here’s Ben to explain… To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/326/29?v=20251111

Want in on a secret, the concepts Bob Russell has been sharing with us all month can be key to coping with that stress!

  • Attitude of Gratitude

    Attitude of Gratitude
    2025/11/20
    Welcome to the Christian’s Hour Program, Thanks for joining us! TCH is a ministry of Gospel Broadcasting Mission. GBM’s mission is to broadcast the message of Jesus, in their heart’s language, to unreached people groups and tribes world-wide.This week we celebrate Thanksgiving, a National Holiday since 1863, that traces its origins to the Pilgrims in 1621. Thanksgiving’s origins came out of a deep-rooted sense of gratitude to God. These days it almost seems the Holiday is tied more to family gatherings and meals, and giving thanks is secondary. Maybe it’s time for a “course correction” to get back to our roots of giving thanks, to God?!This month, Bob Russell, is helping us with an “Thanksgiving Season - Heart Check” in preparation for a more meaningful Thanksgiving. Bob Russell is a retired senior minister of Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, Kentucky, where he served for 40 years as “Southeast” became one of the largest churches in America. There is an old proverb that says “you reap what you sow”. In today’s message, “An Attitude of Gratitude” Bob has 5 ways we can sow an attitude that can help us transform our personalities into someone who radiates Thanksgiving. Here’s Bob to talk more than turkey! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/326/29?v=20251111

Today, it can seem the Holiday is tied more to family gatherings and meals and giving thanks is secondary.

Stuff… the world advertises it, constantly, our family, friends, neighbors flaunt it, our culture idolizes it. You know, accumulating stuff, doing stuff, going to see stuff. Problem is, at its best, stuff is still only temporary and more-over its really not fulfilling in the long term. So, here’s Bob to help us laser in on what’s really real… To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/326/29?v=20251111

  • Despising Manna & Demanding Meat

    Despising Manna & Demanding Meat
    2025/11/06
    This is the Christian’s Hour. TCH is a ministry of Gospel Broadcasting Mission.So, Thanksgiving. While it officially became a National Holiday in 1863 it is said it traces its origins to 1621 or even earlier. I would imagine that no matter when it was first celebrated; it came out of a deep-rooted sense of gratitude that was more than a one day or one meal sort of thing. Today, sometimes it seems the Holiday is tied more to family gatherings and meals. Maybe it’s time for a “course correction” to get back to our roots of giving thanks to; God?!This month, our speaker, Bob Russell, is helping us with an “Thanksgiving Season - Heart Check” to help us prepare for a more meaningful Thanksgiving. Bob Russell is a retired senior minister of Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, Kentucky, where he served for 40 years as “Southeast” became one of the largest churches in America. As a country, America has much to be thankful for, but as a whole we don’t show it much. In the Bible, God’s people, the Israelites, shared a similar affliction. In today’s message Bob draws on the experiences of God’s Chosen People to help us with a Manna and Meat “course correction” in preparation for a day of thanks to the one to whom all thanks is due!

  • ... to the Futility of Mission

    ... to the Futility of Mission
    2025/10/30
    TCH is a ministry of Gospel Broadcasting Mission.GBM’s mission is to broadcast the message of Jesus, in their own language, to unreached people groups and tribes world-wide.So, for most of us, we have probably not pictured Jesus as a freedom fighter.But truth is, He was, in fact He liberated people from the powers of darkness so they could become who they were created to be.What was true then, is still relevant today! All this past month, Rick Atchley, Senior Minister with The Hills Church in Fort Worth Texas has been exploring what that liberation looks like in his series; “No Longer Slaves”.So, if Jesus is our rabbi, we need to be just as committed to His ministry of helping people claim “no longer slaves” status. In today’s message: No Longer Slaves to the Futility of Mission Rick explores how our most fulfilling purpose for life can only be staying aligned with the assignment Jesus, our rabbi, has given us. Curious? Here’s Rick to unpack what living with intent can mean. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/326/29?v=20251111
