In Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus, we see some valuable teaching that we need to apply today. Jesus is teaching about our need for forgiveness, and how He is the one who paid for it.
Today, we are going to look at a trial example. Trials are a part of life, and I will review what a trial is. I will also look at a real life example of someone who gone through a trial, and how they handled it.
Today, we are looking at a real life example of temptation. David and Bathsheba. Be sure to listen and see how David got carried away into sin, and find out what the consequences of that sin was.
Today we are looking at trials. You know, those things of life that none of us wants. In James 1, we are told how we should respond to those times of trials. When your faith gets tested, how do you respond?
Adam & Eve failed theirs. Jesus passed His. Today, we look at temptations. Find out where temptations come from and what makes them tick, but also where Adam and Eve fell short. Tune in and learn how to watch out for temptations.
What does it mean to be set apart in a modern world, that is my topic for today. We live in a world where everyone is encouraged to do what they please, not matter the consequences. The Bible paints a different picture. One where God desires us to be holy, to be set apart, not following the things the world chases after. This episode will challenge your way of living in our modern world.…
We are told throughout Scripture the importance of prayer. We taught how to pray and how not to pray. But, the question I want to pose to you today is: Do you expect anything out of prayer. In Acts 12, we read about Peter being thrown in prison, and the church praying consistently for him. When Peter shows up at the door, the people praying for him first don’t believe it’s actually him, then are astonished at the sight. Listen to this episode, and take time to look at your prayer life and prayer habits, and start praying the way Jesus would want us to pray-expectantly.…
Todays episode teaches us what True Revival is. I will give you a hint-true revival runs on the timetable of God, not mans timetable. We will discuss the definition of revival and look at some examples of revival in the Bible.
Sometimes we get a little cold. I don’t mean cold as in a lack of heat. I mean cold as in our faith grows cold. When that happens, it usually means that there is something (sin) blocking our relationship with Jesus. In this episode, we look at what it means to be revived and what is essential to being revived.…
What is your affection set on? Seriously, what has your focus day in and day out? Bills? Vacation? Work? If you answer anything but Jesus, then your focus and affection is on the wrong things. If you want to build a rock solid faith in Jesus that will stand strong in whatever life throws at you, then you must keep your eyes fixed on Him. Are you ready to do that?…
In order to build a rock solid faith in Jesus, you must first understand that you are a sinner in need of a Savior, and that Savior is Jesus. Confess your sins and believe in Him, and His sacrifice for your sins. That’s the only way to build your faith in Him
Another step to developing a rock solid faith in Jesus is to understand that it will not happen overnight. We must overcome sin, and we must understand that to sin is a choice. What are you going to choose today?
there are things in life that causes us to be faithless, that hinder the building of our faith. Today, I give you two things that i believe hinder our faith and keep it from growing.
Luke 24:1-12. At the dawn of Resurrection Day, Jesus’ disciples had no faith. Upon hearing the news of the resurrected Jesus, the disciples didn’t believe it. Faithlessness is a problem for all of us.
What do you see when you look into the empty tomb? A former Pastor of mine asked that on Facebook the other day. It got me to thinking. In this episode, I give you 4 things that I see when I look into the empty tomb. What do you see?
Mark 5:1-20, Jesus heals a man who was demon possessed. He tells the man that he can’t come with Jesus, but instead, to go into his town and people and proclaim the great things that Jesus did for Him. Sometimes we put more importance on those who leave their home to proclaim the Gospel, but we still need those who are willing to go into their towns, workplaces, homes and school to tell others what Jesus has done for them.…
Today, we are studying selected passages from Mark 15 about Good Friday. The day that Jesus was crucified for your sins and mine. We are specifically looking at the mocking He endured for us. Thank you, Jesus!
As Jesus rode into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey, people praised Him because of the miracles and works He had done. They were offering praise to Him. Jesus has done miracles and works in your life as well, when was the last time you praised Him?
As we continue studying the Triumphal Entry of Jesus, better known as Palm Sunday, I present a question for you to ponder, What message are you telling the world? Just like the people that lined the streets of Jerusalem and put palm branches and clothes down to make the way for Jesus, we need to make the way for Jesus as well. Throughout Scripture, Repent was preached. We need to proclaim that people need to repent. What message are you giving?…
Many of us are holding on to things that is hindering our relationship with the Lord. It is also hurting our praise. Today, we look at how dangerous it is for our faith to hold on to things we don’t heed to hold on to.
A week before His crucifixion, multitudes lined the streets praising Him as He passed by, it’s what we call Palm Sunday. When was the last time you raised your palms in praise to Jesus?
In today’s episode, we continue the series The Calling of God, Moses got God angry because he focused on what he couldn’t do, instead of what God can do.
Moses first asks, Who am I? Then Who are you? Today, he asks what f they don’t believe me? A legitimate question. We must realize the important thing is our obedience to God and His calling on your life.
First, Moses asked “Who am I?” Now, Moses asks, “Who are you? If we are going to proclaim Jesus to a lost and hurting world, we must make sure we know Him. Do you know Him today? That’s what we are talking about in todays episode.
In todays episode, we look at the first question Moses asks God in Exodus 3:10-12. We may feel inadequate to do what God has called us to do, but we can know and trust that God will be with us.
Finishing up our series on Romans 6, where we talked about how to embrace the whole be way of life that we have in Jesus. Today, Paul challenges us to compare our lives before and after Christ.
Continuing in Romans 6, today we discuss what we are going to submit to. Paul challenges us to submit ourselves to God, not to the sin nature. It’s a choice to make hour by hour, minute by minute, second by second.
In this episode, we continue our series in Romans 6, discovering key life lessons to help us walk the walk that God desires of us. Today we are looking at the topic of being dead to sin. As believers, through Jesus, we can be dead to sin. Meaning we are dead to our old, sinful life. Since we are dead, we should no longer strive to live in sin any longer.…
Today, we begin a journey through Romans 6, where we will discover how God expects us to live. Paul challenges us to not live driven by our old sin nature, but rather, live as someone free from the bondage of sin.
In Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus, we see some valuable teaching that we need to apply today. Jesus is teaching about our need for forgiveness, and how He is the one who paid for it.
We continue looking at the topic of trials. Today, we look at what you and I need to do get through those trails. We need wisdom. And we get that from God Himself.
Trials, none of us like them, many of us fear them. But, trials are an important and vital part of our walk with Jesus. Listen to this episode to see why they are important to our faith.
In First Thessalonians, 5:17, Paul commands that we pray without ceasing. Meaning that we are continually in prayer. Can we really do that in 2025? We can look to a person who lived the pray without ceasing command. Nehemiah. Throughout his book, we see short prayers done in any and all situations Nehemiah faced. We can implement this lifestyle in todays world.…
Today, I talk about a sculpture I’d seen many years ago at a local attraction. We then look at Psalm 139 and see that God is all around and knows everything about us, and prunes and purges us to become who He wants us to be.
Today, we are looking at some highlights from the book of Nehemiah and see how Nehemiah sorted through the opposition to complete the task he was given.
Continuing our study in the Old Testament book Haggai. Today, we look at chapter 2:1-9 and see where God is encouraging them to keep on in their work of rebuilding the temple. He encourages them with words like “be strong”, “fear not”, “I am with you.” All those words should encourage you as well, as you work on the things God has called you to complete.…
We are studying the Old Testament book of Haggai the next few episodes. In this is a challenge for us to “consider our ways” and how we should change our thinking and behavior.
We see over and over that the writers of the Gospels are eyewitnesses to the works and words of Jesus. Why, then, do so many of us put our trust in idols who don’t even have breath in them while ignoring the true living God?
Today, we finish up studying John 13:36-14:7. Jesus is teaching that He alone is the one and only way to get to the Father. It doesn’t matter what the world believes or teaches, Jesus alone is the way to eternal life.
In John 10, the Pharisees confronted Jesus and wanted Him to tell them if He was the Messiah. Jesus had strong words for them, which include that they are not of His own. In this episode, we explore what the Pharisees trusted more that caused them to miss the Messiah.
In studying the parable of Lazarus and the Rich man in Luke 16, we can learn a few things about Hell. Listen in and see what we learn, and what God really desires for you and me.
In today’s episode, we look one more time at Galatians 4 where Paul asked them if they now considered him an enemy because he told them the truth about their rebellion and falling away from Pauls message. We also look at a passage from Isaiah 1 where God was basically telling Israel that He had enough of their burnt offerings and empty service. He challenged them to make a choice, a choice we must make as well.…
In todays episode, we are taking a look at the modern, contemporary church, and the true church of Jesus. Are they the same? Different? Take a listen and see which church you resemble.
Selected verses from Galatians. Paul asks the church a question, he asked “am I your enemy because I told you the truth?” Many people today reject the truth and rely on what they want the truth to be. You can pretend all you want, but it will never be the truth. Faith
There are some people who don’t believe anything unless they see it with their own eyes. In this episode, i list several eyewitnesses to the life and times of Jesus Christ
The man we know as the Apostle Paul didn’t start out that way. He was persecuting the church, arresting and putting in prison the Christians. That is, until he encountered Jesus, who set him on the right path.
God has called us to influence in the world with His love. But lately, many of us seem to have allowed the world to influence us instead. Today, we are seeing why it is so important to get away from our old sin nature.
Did you know that God disciplines us? Yes, that is a fact. Many people don’t talk about that, but it’s a vital part of our walk with the Lord. We’ll talk about the purpose of that discipline, and look at a few examples of the discipline in real life.
We are called to do good works. Those good works prove the faith we claim to have. Those good works show others that God is real. What good works is God calling you to do today?
2 Kings 22:1-8. 13-18. These verses caution us about who we turn to to get advice. The advice we got should always go along with what the Bible says. Anything different should be advice you leave behind.
Ephesians 5:8, 10-11. Paul is teaching us some important lessons in the way we live our life. We must walk as the children of God, but all too often, we walk as though we are still living in sin. That must not be so. Instead, walk like this…..
Ephesians 3:16-17, Paul is praying that we get the strength that only comes through the power of the Holy Spirit. That strength enables us to resist temptation, overcome trials and live for God. Have you received that strength?
Ephesians 4:30. In this episode, I teach on the importance of not bringing sorrow to God by the way you are living your life. We talk about the ways we grieve the Holy Spirit, and the work that the Holy Spirit wants to do in your life.
Have you given Jesus your all. I mean, have you given Him everything? That’s what it takes if you want to truly follow Him. Are you willing to give it all to Him?
Today, we look a various verses, mostly in the life and ministry of Paul, and see that each of us is put in our place for a reason. The reason: to let your light shine before others. Are you letting your light shine?
In todays episode, we look 2 men who had an encounter with Jesus. One man left sorrowful, the other forgiven. Where do you find ourself in these two examples?
In todays episode, we talk about telling others about Jesus. We need to keep spreading out the message of the cross. We need to keep telling others about salvation that is available only through Jesus. We need to do that, even when we don’t feel like it. Don’t get weary telling others about Jesus. Keep doing what God has called you to do. Someone needs to hear your message.…
Looking in the books of Isaiah and Nehemiah in the Old Testament, we can see where God was confronting a sinful Judah and Israel that looks a lot like America today. We also see where the nation returned to God after their captivity, after their discipline. What could happen in America today if those that profess Christ as Savior and Lord would simply pray for their nation, would confess their sins and confess the sins of the nation.…
Today, we look at 1 Corinthians 1:18-22 where Paul is asking a vital question for us to consider. For you, is the cross of Jesus foolishness or the power of God demonstrated? So many people today are looking for signs that what we read in the Bible is indeed the truth. Unfortunately, those people follow and trust the wisdom of man instead of the wisdom of God. What is the cross to you?…
For the Christian, we must realize that God is working in each one of us to make us who He wants us to be. Are you allowing God to do the work in your life He needs to do, or are you blocking Him?
Paul said that there would come a day where people would be satisfied with a form of godliness. I firmly believe that day is now. In this episode, I talk about the dangers of being satisfied with a form of godliness. You’ll be challenged to know if you worship and serve the God of the Bible, or the god you made up in your head.…
There are many more, but today we look at 3 ways that we can be faithful to God. Three steps that will help us be faithful to God. Three areas that, to be honest, many of us miss the mark. Listen in and see what areas you might be missing the mark in.
Today, we are studying Hebrews 3:2,5. In these verses, the writer of Hebrews is showing how both Jesus and Moses were faithful to God. It’s a pattern that you and I need to imitate. God is faithful to us, but are we faithful to God?
Today, I am talking about our speech. Does your speech reflect the ways of this world, or the ways of God? We are told several times in the Bible to not “let filthy communication come out of your mouth.” We are also told that we can’t praise God and curse man. So, what is coming out of your mouth?
Today, we look at the topic of the New Year. The New Year brings a feeling of newness, of a fresh start. Many of you will make Resolutions for the New Year, something that you want to change about yourself. Paul teaches in many places throughout his New Testament letters that we must put on the new man, and take off the old. It symbolizes removing our sin nature and past sins, and walking forward to our new life with Christ.…
In the year 2025, will you join me as I desire to become more Christ-like. It means that I am going to get serious about my faith, and work on developing an intimate relationship with Jesus. What are some things we can expect to happen when we do this? One thing is to be ridiculed. To be made fun of. Listen in as I talk on this topic.…
Various verses. Paul was willing to forgo everything that made up his pedigree for the sake of Jesus. The religious leaders of Jesus’ time loved the praise of men rather than God. Which is more like the way you live your life?
Acts 10. We see, in this chapter, the Gospel being presented to the Gentiles by Peter. Peter could have stood by his religious rules and not went to the gentile, but he obeyed what God had told him to do. We have people today who we are withholding the Gospel from, people we feel we should not associate with. When are we going to realize that the command to go and make disciples means of all people? Who are you withholding the Gospel from?…
Various verses. Today, we study about chains and the bondage they create. Many of us either were, or still are in bondage today. We need the chains of sin broken. How? Through Jesus of course. We discuss what you and I need to do to either break our own chains, or break the chains for others.
Various verses. Today we talk about love and peace. We are talking about verse 3 of the Christmas hymn O Holy Night. As Christians, we must show the same love to others that God shows to us. Subscribe to this podcast: http://www.scripturelinks.org/... to find podcast outlets. We want to hear from you! Leave us a voicemail. http://www.scripturelinks.org/...…
Someone on social media recently said that a Christian cannot sing the song O Holy Night if they are not going to live out the third verse. We will spend the next few days seeing what the third verse says and how we need to apply it to our lives.
Various Verses. Anxiety can be a killer, and so many of us struggle with anxiety when we don’t have to. God cares about You, and the anxiety you struggle with. Give the anxiety to God, let Him deal with it while you receive the rest you deserve that only God can truly give.
Numbers 11:10-15. Moses had enough and he let God know how he felt. Sometimes, we need to get things off our chest, so that it doesn’t cause a rift between you and God.
Numbers 11:4-9. We have so much we need to thank God for, yet often we don’t even realize it. Or, even worse, we start to despise the very things God has provided. Take some time today just to say “thank you” to God for what He has provided for you.
Luke 7:11-17. How much could we change the world if we, as Christians, had compassion for others? Jesus demonstrated compassion to this widow whose only son had passed away. He brought her son back to life. When others are grieving, that is not the time to cast them out and ignore them. It is the time we need to show the love of God to them. Who can you show compassion to today?…
Luke 7:1-10. Here, we study an unexpected request from an unlikely source. A Roman centurion asked Jesus to heal his servant. It was a great display of faith like Jesus had never seen. In this episode, we will look at 3 things we need to apply from this story.
Various Verses in the Gospels. We are studying about John the Baptist and how he went from being absolutely sure Jesus was the Messiah, to sending his disciples to ask Jesus is He was the promised one or if they should look for another. What happened? We look at various reasons why this may have happened, and how to make sure doubt doesn’t happen to us as well.…
James 4:3, 7-10. Do your prayers often go unanswered? If so, there is a reason for it. Discover why your prayers are going unanswered and how to fix it.
Proverbs 1:7 teaches us that the fear of God is the beginning of our wisdom. You will never obtain the spiritual wisdom you need to live for God if God does not have the proper place in your life.
James 1:5-8, if we need wisdom, we simply ask God. That’s the way to do it. But, you must ask in faith not doubting. Doubting is the same as being double minded, and that person should not expect anything of God. So, whatever you face, whatever wisdom you need, ask God. In Faith.
Various verses. In today’s episode, we see two more reasons why we need spiritual wisdom. Like we said yesterday, we live in a world that has it’s good and evil mixed up. By getting spiritual wisdom, we will see the false teachings and teachers for what they are, false.
Various verses in 2 Timothy. We live in a perilous time, you don’t need me to tell you that. It is because of that fact that we need spiritual wisdom, the wisdom that comes from God. In todays episode, we look at reasons why we need spiritual wisdom.
Luke 16:19-31, we read the story of the rich man and Lazarus. The rich man died and went to Hell. We will see what we can learn about Hell from this parable.
Various. I was browsing on social media the other day, and I saw two or three posts that asked the same question. Join us as we browse reasons why we shove our faith down others throats.
Various Verses. Today, we will be taking a look at the dangers of falling for another Gospel. Paul warned us in Galatians 1:8-9 that there is no other Gospel, and if someone presents another Gospel, they should be accursed. That’s some pretty strong language, but is exactly what is going on in our nation today. People are creating a false Gospel, and calling the true Gospel evil.…
Jeremiah 18:1-6. We see Jeremiah watching the process of the potter. For us today, we are the clay and God is the potter. The potter molds and makes us into the vessels God desires, all the while getting rid of the imperfections, and weaknesses.
Psalm 150. Praise is something you hear about, but maybe really don’t understand it. Praise is a vital part in the life of a Christian. Praise is where we lift up God and thank Him for what He’s done for us. When was the last time you offered your praise to God.
Psalm 22:1-5, When was the last time you offered your praises to God? That is one sure fire way to stay focused in the middle of trials. In these verses, David helps us to keep focused on God during our trials.
2 Timothy 3:1-7 & 10-15. Many people are content with having their own form of God. Yet, that isn’t going to get them anywhere. Find out what Paul told Timothy to help him live a godly life.
Various Verses. We are told to believe in Jesus for everlasting life. Is that really all that’s needed? In today’s episode, we explore the question Is Belief Enough? What does the Scriptures say about our salvation?
2 Timothy 1:8-13. In these passages, we see a life lived in trust and obedience to God and His Calling. Are you growing in Christ through trials and afflictions? That is the only way to truly grow and know Jesus. Are you ready to follow Him no matter what?
Hebrews 4:14-16, these verses teach us that Jesus is our High Priest, who not only ascended to Heaven, but also understands our struggles. Because of His sacrifice, we can boldly come to God for help and comfort.
Hebrews 10:23. What is your hope and faith built on. If it’s built on anything but the Lord Jesus, then it’s built on the wrong things. Listen to this episode to see why it is so important to have your hope set on Jesus.
Romans 8:18, 35, 37-39. If you are going through a time of trial or testing of your faith, now is not the time to abandon your faith thinking that God doesn’t love you. Nothing is further from the truth. The fact is, God does love you.
Psalm 139. David concludes this Psalm with a prayer we all need to pray. By understanding that God knows everything about us, that God has known us from the womb, and we cannot escape the presence of God, this prayer becomes more and more important to our lives.
Various verses. We must come to God when we feel the calling of the Spirit. We can’t come on our time or our terms. Are you following the leading of God?
Acts 2:37-38, Luke 9:57-62. In these passages of Scripture, we see two groups that heard the calling of Jesus, but only 1 of the groups responded. The other, wanted to come to Jesus on their terms, when they felt like it. Which would you be part of?
Today, we take one last look at the word Repent, as was preached by Peter, John the Baptist, Jesus and others. Today, will you repent of your sins and get things right with God?
To the 7 churches that Jesus wrote to in Revelation 2-3, 4 of them got warnings to repent, because Jesus knows their works. We need to take heed, we are called to repent as well.
When you repent, don’t look back. That’s a problem many of us face, we are drawn back to do the same sins over and over again. How can we keep from doing that? We will look at some things that should help you in your walk.
Acts 19:18-29. Because people were responding to Paul’s message, the silversmiths and makers of the goddess Diana got upset. Don’t let what others think cause you to not repent.
Acts 8:9-25. Point 1 is “Once you repent, don’t try and connect the past with the future.” All too often, we try and hold on to little things that characterized our life before Christ. If we try and connect our old life before Christ, with our new life with Christ, then we really haven’t repented.
Nehemiah 4:1-6. Opposition will come when you are doing what God called you to do. How do you handle it? Just like Nehemiah did. Listen in and find out how to handle opposition the Bible way.
Verses from John. The Holy Spirit has a definite role in our lives as believers. Find out what that role is so that you can be ready to follow the Spirit.
2 Samuel 12 selected verses. In our reading today, we see when David sinned with Bathsheba. When confronted with his sin, David confessed it. What do you do when you get confronted with your sin?
John 8:1-11. Here, we read the story of the woman who was caught in adultery. Jesus knew her sin, yet He showed grace & compassion. He knows your sin as well, and still offers grace and forgiveness.

1 Corinthians 10:21, This verse goes along with a saying I used to have, “You can’t be a Christian on Sunday and a sinner on Monday. Yet, all to often we try and do that exact thing.
Romans 1:15-17, Are you ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus? We may not realize it, but we may be showing we are ashamed of the Gospel. How? What are you posting on Social Media? Do you steer clear of posts about Jesus? Too often, we share the latest buzz about our favorite celebrity, but we fail to post about Jesus and what He has done for you.…
1 Samuel 15:22, partial obedience is not true obedience. We must be obedient to the Lord. In this episode, I teach what Saul did wrong, and how you and I can become obedient to the Lord.
Joshua 1:6-9, Joshua had a monumental task ahead of him. God made it clear his mission and success hindered on one thing. Tune in to find out what Joshua had to make sure wasn’t overlooked.

2 Corinthians 6:16-7:1. Pau is teaching us an important lessons about idols and how they should have no part in the life of a Christian. Much like our world today, Paul was walking around a town near Corinth that had a lot of temples and altars dedicated to the various gods they worshipped. .
Matthew 5:14-16, Jesus tells us to let our light shine, so that others can see our works and bring glory to God. All of us that have given our lives to Christ have the Light of God’s love inside us, and we need to let that light shine into the dark world around us. Think of it as a flashlight, that lights our way, our path. Who needs to see your light today?…

Matthew 6:19-21, Jesus is teaching on the importance of properly placed wealth. If we want to Seek First the Kingdom of God, then we must build up a Heavenly wealth. The only way to do that is to the will of God in your life. It’s those “good works” that produce heavenly wealth. You can bank on that.…
Matthew 6:10. In this model prayer that Jesus taught us to pray, one of the phrases is to pray that the will of God is done on earth. We need to pray that the will of God is done on earth, done in us. Are you wiling to pray that the will of God is done in you?
Today, we are looking at the topic of being Kingdom Minded. If you want to truly “Seek first the Kingdom of God,” then you must be kingdom minded. You can only be kingdom minded when you allow God to transform your mind from the things of this world, to the things of God. We’ll look at passages from Colossians 3:1-2, Romans 12:2 and others.…
Matthew 6:33, no matter what is happening in your life right now, you’ve got to seek first the Kingdom of God. How can I do that? Today’s episode gives us five things we must do to seek the Kingdom of God, which we will discuss more in detail next episodes.
Acts 6:1-7, these verses teach us about delegation. Not everyone is cut out or called to do everything the church needs done. As the early church grew, a dispute broke out about the daily distribution of food. The 12 knew their calling was to preach and pray, who they delegated the responsibility for the food distribution. Because they stayed true to their calling, the church continued to grow. What are you called to do?…
Matthew 23:1-7, 22. In these verses, Jesus is teaching us about hypocrisy. The Pharisees, the religious leaders of Jesus’ day, were hypocrites. They didn’t practice what they preached. And Jesus admonished and exposed them for their hypocrisy. What about you, are you living what you are preaching? Or will Jesus be exposing you?…
Romans 12:3, in these verses, Paul is teaching us that none of us are more important than anyone else. We are all sinners that is saved only by the grace of God.
Selected Verses from Galatians 5. Paul teaches about the works of the flesh and how we have struggled to overcome them. He also teaches about the fruit of the Spirit, and how those qualities prove our faith. Which list, that Paul writes about, has more spots in your life?
1 Corinthians 10:7-11, these verses give us examples of thing ancient Israel did wrong, and the consequences they had. We can use these as examples and warnings to walk in the path God leads.
1 Corinthians 10:1-6, in these verses Paul reminds us several things about the Israelites as they journeyed from Egypt to the promised land. It would be best for us to heed what Paul writes here.
1 Kings 15:30, At the end of His life, Paul said that he had finished his course, We all got a race to run, the question is, what kid of legacy were you going to leave behind.
1 Kings 18:17-40, here we find Elijah standing up for God against the false prophets of his time. God is still looking for people to proclaim His Word in a lost world that is following false gods. Are you willing to be that person?
Numbers 13:26-14:3. The spies returned and laid out a not so great report of the Promised Land. All because they were fearful. Yes, they had obstacles they would work through to get the Promised Land. Just like you and me, we have giants we must face if we are going to become the men and women God wants us to be.…
Selected verses from Exodus 15, 16 & 17. In each of these chapters, we see where God is providing for the needs of Israel. We can trust God to need our needs as well.
Exodus 32:1-9, Here we Israel worship their created god, the golden calf. We may look with disdain at their example, but who, or what, have you placed in the spot that God should have in your life. The tabernacle was placed at the exact center of the camp of the Israelites, signifying that God should be the center of our lives. Does He have that spot in your life?…
1 Corinthians 11:1, Paul is teaching us that he is our example to following Christ. Many times, we look to people for inspiration, for leadership, for mentorship. Unfortunately, many times, those people are false teachers who are preaching and teaching a false message. By looking at the example of Paul, we can trust that his is a true teacher, because he is following Christ.…
Titus 2:11-15, we see several things in these verses that we need to be sharing with those around us. I ask this question in this episode, Would you rather do the good works that God has called you to do, or chase after the worldly lusts?
Romans 13:1-2, these are verses about the government that I don’t think I’ve ever heard referenced, preached or taught. Listen to this before you put up that meme making fun of a government official.
Romans 12:1-2, Paul teaches us that we need to offer ourselves as a living sacrifice to God. That means we are giving God control, and that is something that many of us are unwilling to do. Until we accept that calling, we will never be where God wants us to be.
John 19:38-42, these verses introduce us to Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus. Both, I believe, were disciples of Jesus, even though they may not have been public about it. These men prepared Jesus for His burial, while His disciples forsook Jesus and fled. How do you respond when things you don’t expect to happen-happen?…
John 17:20-26. In these verses, Jesus is praying for the church, He is praying for us today. In this prayer, He is asking for 5 specific things. Are these things found in church today?
Luke 18:35-43, We see in these verses that healing comes by this. Blind Bartimeus got his healing because he wouldn’t let the tide of public opinion change his calling out to Jesus. Because of this, he got his healing. What is this? Listen to todays episode.
Luke 7:18-24, in todays Bible reading, we see where John the Baptist, while in prison, sent two of his disciples to Jesus to find out if Jesus is indeed the Messiah, or if they should watch for another. Think of the magnitude of that question. We see in the Gospels the strong faith of John the Baptist as he preached repentance, as he boldly proclaimed Jesus as the Messiah. And now, while in prison, he may have faltered in that faith a little bit. Don’t let your faith slip because you are going through a time of trial.…
Luke 4:13, we learn in this verse that after the time of tempting Jesus was over, the devil left him alone for a season. Trials and temptations only last a season, and we must be ready to go through them so we develop a strong, steadfast faith in God. We also learn some valuable principles to help make it though our seasons of temptation.…
Luke 2:49, we see Jesus telling His parents that He must be about His Fathers business. In other words, Jesus is saying that He must do the things that God called Him to do. The fact is that you and I both need to be about the business of God. What has God called you to do today?
Mark 14:32-42, Jesus catches His disciples sleeping 3 times in these verses. While we might be quick to condemn them for that act, we are, in fact, no better than they are. It’s time we get serious about our faith, get serious about reading the Bible, get serious about prayer and get serious about witnessing.…
Mark 12:41-44, we see the story of the widow and her mite. In this account, Jesus is sitting by the treasury watching as people were putting money into the church. Many came putting in large sums of money, then a widow came with her few pennies. Jesus made a statement about the giving He saw that will probably shock us. Find out what we need to learn about this account.…
Mark 3:1-6, here we see Jesus challenging the Pharisees about what is right. As Jesus was teaching in the synagogue, a man with a withered hand was present. Jesus was going to heal that man, but challenged the Pharisees if it is right to do good or evil on the Sabbath. Jesus was angered at the hard hearts displayed by the religious leaders. Why? Because they focused on the outward appearance. They liked the places of prominence, they liked to “show” their religion, but in reality, their hearts were far from the Lord. Where are you focused on, looking the part, or being right where God wants you to be?…
Matthew 28:11-15, these verses teach us about faith. Specifically, not to allow the lack of others peoples faith affect your faith. In the verses I read, we see the religious leaders bribing the guards at the tomb to tell people that the disciples stole the body of Jesus. What hogwash. Yet, an entire nation believes that story.…
Matthew 25:1-13, These verses teaches us about 5 people who were ready, and 5 people who were not at the coming of the bridegroom. Of course, this is a picture of the return of Jesus. Are you ready? Looking at Matthew 24, we see where Jesus tells us what is going to come at the end times, and we can see much of it happening now. Are you prepared?…
Matthew 24:32-42, In these verses we see the importance of watching and being ready for the end times, for the rapture and for the second coming of Jesus.
Matthew 9:9-13, we see here the calling of Matthew as a disciple. We also see Jesus teaching an important lesson. We are called to repentance, meaning we are called to ask forgiveness of our sins, then turn and walk in a different way than before. Many times, we seek forgiveness without leaving our sins behind. Is there a change in your life and how you live it compared to your life before Christ?…
Matthew 8:23-27, in these verses, we see Jesus and the disciples in a boat when a great storm arises and threatens to sink the ship. The disciples, out of fear, woke Jesus. He rebuked the storm and everything was calm. You may be going through a storm right now, and it may seem that your boat is about to sink. But, Jesus is right there, give your fears to Him.…
Matthew 3:1-2, 5-11, These verses introduce who we know as John the Baptist. He was the forerunner to Jesus, who preached repentance, who baptized Jesus. We can learn a lot from him, some of which we discover. In this episode, I present 3 things about John’s life that we should imitate.
Mark 2:1-2 we see Jesus spending time at a house, and the news of his location spread through town, and the house was packed full with people wanting to see Jesus. What if Jesus showed up at a church this Sunday? Would we recognize Him, would we put down our phones long enough to see the LORD?
Mark 2:1-12, we see the story of a crippled man whose friends brought him to be healed by Jesus. Because of a huge crowd, they could not get to Jesus, but that did not deter his friends. Listen to this episode and see what they did to get their friend to Jesus for healing. Also discover the type of friend we need and need to be.…
Today, I ask the question Was There a Fishing 101 class? Let me explain. We’re talking about our lives before and after Christ. Taking off the old life (before) and putting on the new (after). There is no middle ground. Too often, today, we want to plug into a church using our strengths and comfort zones. That is not the way it should be. I look at Peter, and see how he changed once he got his faith in Jesus restored. I haven’t seen anywhere where Peter taught a Fishing 101 class and threw in a few minutes about Jesus. No! We see him preach powerful sermons that moved people to action.…
