830: Realpolitik // Spiritual Lessons from WW1 02 (Eric Ludy)
This is the second installment in Eric Ludy’s epic summer Daily Thunder series entitled Spiritual Lessons from WW1. This particular episode explores the impact of WW1 upon a generation of young idealists that believed the government was motivated by moral and just motives in fighting this terrible war, only to find out that there were far more carnal motives at the root of much of this four-year horror. The “War to End All Wars” proved to only be the “War to Start All Wars.” There are human frailties, misrepresentations, and propaganda all around us — how does a Christian reason and conclude? Where does our confidence lie? Hint: It’s not in human leadership — it’s in the Word of God, both in Text and in Person.

828: The Sinister Unknown // Spiritual Lessons from WW1 01 (Eric Ludy)
This is the first episode of Eric Ludy’s epic summer Daily Thunder series based on the convulsive struggles of World War I. Few people today know much about WWI, but this extraordinary event in history shaped the world in which we all live today and, if we dig into its rich loam, we find thousands of spiritual lessons to impact us as Christians in the twenty-first century. This particular episode starts near the end of the war in 1918 and explores the unknown nature of this war’s outcome. As believers, we live in a time of fog and sinister unknown. It’s critical that we remember that our God is NOT in fog and sees clearly in and amidst this period of dramatic disorder and moral meltdown. In fact, He has guaranteed victory.For more information about Daily Thunder and the ministry of Ellerslie Mission Society, please visit: https://ellerslie.com/.

825: Called to Love and Unity (Ephesians 4:2-3) // The Calling On Your Life 10 (Nathan Johnson)
Paul exhorts believers in Ephesians 4:2-3 to be marked by love and unity with one another. If we are called to the high calling of Christ, we must be marked by His love and life—which means the Christian life cannot be lived in a vacuum, rather it must be lived in relationship and community. In this study, we examine what it means to bear with one another in love and to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.For more information about Daily Thunder and the ministry of Ellerslie Mission Society, please visit: https://ellerslie.com/.

822: An Ordinary World-Changing Life // Becoming Brave 10.5 (Leslie Ludy)
Many of us put limits on what God can do through us because of our own insecurities and feelings of inadequacy. But we must never forget that what God calls us to, He equips us for. This is what we see in the example of Frank Jenner - a simple Australian businessman who personally witnessed to over 100,000 people in his lifetime. Next time God places a Kingdom opportunity in front of you, don’t let fear or insecurity keep you from embracing it - rely on the strength of God to do what is impossible in your own strength.For more information about Daily Thunder and the ministry of Ellerslie Mission Society, please visit: https://ellerslie.com/.

In this study, we examine gentleness and patience and explain how these two attributes work together and should mark the life of every Christian.For more information about Daily Thunder and the ministry of Ellerslie Mission Society, please visit: https://ellerslie.com/.
