The Life of a Christ-Follower #10 - Obedience 25:01

2h ago25:01

25:01

We may think, "I'll start obeying God when my faith is strong enough," but God says: "Follow me TODAY, and watch what I will do tomorrow." Obedience flows from faith, and then faith grows from obedience.

The Life of a Christ-Follower #9 - Peace 25:01

2h ago25:01

25:01

The word "peace" means far more than "no war or conflict." It means everything being right and in harmony with God. It is a word God desires to make real in each one of our lives today!

Growing Gracefully: Training 25:02

2d ago25:02

25:02

Despite the most rigorous physical exercise and training regimen, our bodies will age and, eventually, die. But there is a training - training in godliness - that lasts into eternity. The spiritual diet we eat, the spiritual exercise we do and the spiritual training we choose affects our ability to grow graceful as Jesus’ disciples. Training oursel…

The Life of a Christ-Follower #8 - Hope 25:01

4h ago25:01

25:01

By "hope," people often mean "something that might happen but probably won't." But God promises us a hope that is absolutely certain, a hope secured for us by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, a hope that nothing and no one can take away!

Two Year Gospel Study Week 34 32:08

5h ago32:08

32:08

Luke 11:5-13, John 7:38. When asked about prayer, Jesus told his listeners to ask God boldly - even "audaciously" - for the fulfillment of His promises. In this parable, The Friend at Midnight," Jesus takes a humorous story and converts it into a dramatic promise and powerful pledge. Because the friend at midnight, knocking on a neighbor’s door ask…

The Life of a Christ-Follower #7 - Grace 25:01

2h ago25:01

25:01

Every human being, before coming to know Jesus Christ, was/is spiritually dead. Even today, in much of the world that calls itself Christian, we have not come to grips with that profound Biblical teaching.

3d ago25:01

25:01

God doesn’t only give joy. He is our joy! "Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus." (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)

The Life of a Christ-Follower #4 - Prayer Power 25:01

13h ago25:01

25:01

"Prayer Power" - by Pastor Chris Dodge In a nation that is increasingly polarized and divided, the prayers of God’s people are more essential than ever. The Scriptures resound with calls to prayer because God both desires and answers His children when they cry out to Him. Various forms of the word “pray/prayer” are found over 370 times in the Bible…

August 19 - Luke 55:50

3h ago55:50

55:50

Luke is only a minor figure in the New Testament narrative, but his Gospel gives a compelling account of Jesus' ministry and teaching. https://www.awakeusnow.com This study with Pastor Dodge will take you from Genesis to Revelation. Hebrews 4:12 says the Word of God is alive and active, not dry, dusty old stuff! We will also see evidence of Jesus t…

The Living One - Week 21: First Christians 25:02

5d ago25:02

25:02

As pastor takes a look at the word “Christian,” its definition, what it means for us and for the world today, we will see a blueprint God has laid out for believers not just in Antioch long ago but also for us today! The word “Christian” came about from non-believers in the city of Antioch. As persecution caused the Jewish believers in Jerusalem to…

Rescued by Truth: Week 33 25:01

1h ago25:01

25:01

Pastor Dodge shares an archeological discovery uncovered from the 1980’s that dates back to the early first century. This discovery draws our attention to the Bible’s account of “Jesus Calms the Storm” found in Mark 4:35-41 and speaks to truth #18: “The Lord is near, even in the storm.” The 1st Century fishing boat uncovered on the shores of Galile…

Two Year Gospel Study Week 33 30:08

9d ago30:08

30:08

Luke 10:25-37. Jesus often answered a question with a question. But when asked "Who is my neighbor?," He answered by telling a story - a story that asks the same question of us. Today’s study is The Good Samaritan, a 2000 year old parable from Jesus that still speak into our culture today. This story starts with an expert of Jewish law asking Jesus…

The Life of a Christ-Follower #2 - Hypocrites 25:01

5h ago25:01

25:01

“Hypocrite.” This word is used a grand total of seventeen times in the entire New Testament — and Jesus is the only one who uses it. (Hint: He does not have a good opinion of hypocrites!) The word Jesus uses is actually a technical term meaning actor. In Jesus’ vocabulary, a hypocrite is one who outwardly plays the part of a religious person to per…

The Life of a Christ-Follower #1 - Traditions 25:01

7h ago25:01

25:01

Family traditions, handed down over generations—or recently established—can be a real blessing to young and old alike. They help us remember and celebrate the past and give reason to anticipate the future. On the other hand, some traditions can be spiritually deadly. Jesus highlighted the danger when He warned, “You have let go of the commands of G…

3h ago25:01

25:01

Have you repented? And have you been baptized in the name of Jesus Christ and believed on Him? Then the gift of the Holy Spirit is already yours (Acts 2:38)! But... have you opened that gift?

1
What Are You Waiting For? #3 - His Return 25:01

1d ago25:01

25:01

Believers should look to the return of the Lord Jesus with eager anticipation, not fear! The wars, plagues, and persecution that Jesus said would precede His return are necessary signs, but not The End itself.

August 12 - Mark 55:50

8d ago55:50

55:50

Week 33 of Bible in a Year is a study of The Gospel of Mark. Mark zeroes in on the fact that Jesus is the Son of God. It is beyond our ability to fully comprehend, but we can certainly internalize it - the Living God reached into our world and actually took on human flesh. Our Bible in a Year study with Pastor Dodge will take you from Genesis to Re…

The Living One - Week 20: Set Free! 25:02

16d ago25:02

25:02

This teaching is taken from Acts 12. It is a story of Peter being set free from prison chains by an angel, but also set free from the destructive thoughts and emotions and feelings that can rise up inside us during challenging times. Peter shows us how to hold on tight to what we know about God and let Him carry us through difficult times. In uncer…

Rescued by Truth: Week 32 25:01

17d ago25:01

25:01

Synagogues were places for community gatherings and reading of the word, which began to spring up following the destruction of the Temple. Galilee, a place Jesus ministered and taught in, had an abundance of synagogues. In the excavations at Capernaum, you can stand above the foundation of the synagogue where Jesus preached in Mark 1:21-27. Yet Cap…

18d ago28:34

28:34

In the parable of the sower, Jesus compares the Word of God to seed falling on four different kinds of soil - hardened, shallow, thorny, and productive. Which soil does God's Word find in you? Pastor shows us a picture of a wheat field in Israel that is actually a battlefield, in the Valley of Elah, where David battled Goliath. It’s an amazing batt…

What Are You Waiting For? #1 - The Invitation 25:01

14d ago25:01

25:01

Throughout the New Testament, baptism is never delayed. God makes it clear: All who come to belief need to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of their sins, and they will receive the Holy Spirit whom God promises! Have you been baptized? If not, what are you waiting for?

Armor of God #10 - Keep on Praying! 25:01

21d ago25:01

25:01

"Prayer in the Spirit" is about taking time in the presence of the living God and allowing Him to nurture, nourish, transform, and renew our souls. It is not about "give me, give me, give me," but about "mold me, shape me, use me."

1
Armor of God #9 - Pray in the Spirit 25:01

8d ago25:01

25:01

Why does Paul connect prayer with the Armor of God? Because when we "pray in the Spirit," we have something that front-line soldiers have always longed for: the ability to talk directly with our "Commander-in-Chief!"

August 5 - Matthew 55:51

8d ago55:51

55:51

The Gospel of Matthew especially emphasizes that Jesus is the Messiah, the One the Jewish people long for, and that He is the fulfillment of what the Father promised to Adam and Eve, what God spoke to Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, what the Lord declared to King David and what God spoke down through the ages through His prophets. Our Bible in a Year …

The Living One - Week 19: Renewed Minds 25:01

25:01

This teaching is taken from the Acts 10, the story of Peter and Cornelius the Centurion. Both Peter and Cornelius experienced divine encounters through visions.

Rescued by Truth: Week 31 25:01

24d ago25:01

25:01

We need to take God seriously and we need to hear clearly what He is telling us! The Bible says that the Tabernacle was kept at Shiloh during the period of Judges, and recent excavations at Tel-Shiloh add archeological evidence and bring the Bible to life! But the Bible also relates how often Israel ignored the commands and true worship of God and …

Luke 6:47-49, John 3:16, 1 John 3. Is your life built on a solid foundation, or on a shifting, unstable one? What did Jesus say was a solid foundation? In our continued Two Year Study of the Gospels, we now move from the Gospel of Mark into the Gospel of Luke, specifically taking a look at the Parables of Jesus. The first parable Pastor Dodge exami…

Armor of God #7 - Helmet of Salvation 25:01

1
Armor of God #6 - Shield of Faith 25:01

27d ago25:01

25:01

God says: "Fear not"; the devil whispers: "Fear everything." Rather than try to face the "fiery darts" of the enemy in our own power, we should raise the shield of faith God has given us!

Armor of God #5 - Fit Feet 25:01

28d ago25:01

25:01

Growing Gracefully: In Joy 25:02
