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.

John 15:18-21, Jesus is warning us about the hatred of the world, and the coming persecution of the church.

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.

None of us ever enjoyed the act of discipline. In todays’ episode, we talk about how we an live for Jesus.

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.

Today, we will take a look at 1 Samuel 15:22 We will see what obedience and disobedience is, and see that obedience takes some time.

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.

Basically, there has got to be a change. If you are the same today as you were before Jesus, then you need to repent and get things right with God.

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.
