John 19:30 Have you ever left a project unfinished? Who hasn't?! Our lives are filled with projects that we have never quite managed to complete. We have half-read books on our shelves and piles of junk left abandoned from hobbies we’ve started, but never finished. Thankfully Jesus Christ did not leave the great project of his life unfinished. He got the job done, He accomplished the mission. Dr. Philip Ryken teaches from the Book of John on today's episode of Every Last Word.

Matthew 27:46 Have you ever been at a place in your life where you felt forgotten or forsaken, totally alone? It’s a painful place to be, a place where you feel no one understands or “feels your pain.” But one person does understand, and has felt your pain and has conquered death for you so that you can have eternal life. Listen to this encouraging message by Dr. Philip Ryken on Every Last Word.

John 19:28 It’s hard for us to fully embrace the idea that Jesus Christ was as much a man as he was God. But along with the miracles he performed as the Son of God, he also experienced humanity as deeply as we do. One clear example we see is when he said he was thirsty while being crucified. Jesus was human after all, and if he was going save us, if he was going to die in our place, then he needed to be one of us to do it. Dr. Philip Ryken teaches about the humanity of Jesus today on Every Last Word.

John 19:26-27 As Jesus was growing up, his unique identity as the Son of God and his unique ministry as the Savior of the world must have made for some very interesting family situations.

Dr. Philip Ryken teaches about the family of Jesus on this episode of Every Last Word.

Luke 23:34 The thief on the cross next to Jesus was a criminal in life, the lowest of the low. But he knew his Savior when he met him that day at the place of the Skull outside Jerusalem.

Listen as Dr. Philip Ryken teaches about "the luckiest man alive" on Every Last Word.

Listen to Every Last Word with Dr. Philip Ryken as he teaches from Romans, Chapter 6.
